Oakley threw down for a Newport boat tour for all the shops to learn about their new technology.... i however... learned about what not to do on a boat... and probably won't be invited back.... thanks Nelson and BK... here's some highlights of an out-of-hand night.... high quality vegetarian dinner included.

Time to get your face blown off... Zeitgeist!..... do yourself a favor... make some popcorn... pull up a comfortable chair and watch this movie...it's pretty long but you need to know this... you may have seen the original... but this movie goes off about the american dollar and the real truth.... the one the government doesn't want you to know.... narrated by Kevin Spacey.... mindblowing.
He's like the wind... hiding in the woods... few people can say they saw one of these and i'm one of them... that's right... the sasquatch-esk Danchak was in the shop today... getting shit done!

was on Saturday... i'll post the outcome when i get the list this week... i do know Tyler French crushed the intermediate division (this kid kills it with the BEST attitude!) and Kevin Phelps won the advanced with Zach Gagnon right behind him... if Zachs 1st run had been his 2nd... dude would have won for sure... so i'm throwing him the MVCP award (most valuable cranky player)... Donny Barley was on hand... handing out some freebies... Joe Kuhn was slaying... Sheffield and Krankywits were slaying beers.... and that's about it.... they raised a bunch of loot too... Luke was on and Marcus was just blowing it....here's the final standings:
Beginner-1. Dan Keating 2. Tyler Tuttle 3.Conner Raymond
Best Trick-Dan Keating
Intermediate-1. Tyler French 2. Mark Dunning 3. Tie-Paul Jones & Andrew Haddon
Best Trick-Andrew Haddon
Advanced- 1. Kevin Phelps 2. Zach Gagnon 3. Joe Kuhn
Best Trick-Tie-Joe Kuhn & Kevin Phelps
Alright... so Sheckler didn't show... but alot of people did...
the beginner division ended up with only two dude entering... and oddly enough... they both won... props to Chris and Cougey...
intermediate went to Eggy... who slimly beat out Whiterock favorites Tom and Tyler....
Advanced was just ridiculous... it really was like a demo... Andrew Rebelo... Chris Holder... Ryan Piazencia... and Tony Gnuyen slayed the place... too many tricks went down to name and luckily Phelps got the footy... which will be up shortly.
Thanks to EVERYONE that came out to support the event... we raised over $300 towards future additions at the park.... thanks to Oakley, Fallen, NHS and Slave for sponsoring the event.
BTW... Westerly's own 'Big Brother' himself... Mike Ruisi won the Oakley sunglass raffle.
release back in 2000... 'A New Horizon' was an under-the-radar snapshot of the where skateboarding was at the turn of the century... this particular part featured two of the most underated street skaters of the time... check it out.
For real... Kevin Kendrick looks like he's pulling through just fine... rumor has it that he's ready to get back on a board now... how's that for being down to skate!... so glad you're alright Kevin... you're dedication is motivation for us all.
the story continues!... love the Kareem Campbell story @ the end.
