The weekend of trifecta-ness.

There was shows, zoo visits, and 5 minute demos. There were sunburns, backward cigs, smiling salamanders, and bad slams.....as well as the passing of a nickname. it all began at the zoo...then ended in pulaski...however the pictures and captions below tell the story backwards. So, starting with the demo in pulaski. A park in the making since 2004, the kids there finall y got their wish with the grand opening, and the sixth ave team was asked to be there to do a demo....we graciously accepted. The crew consisted of matt, blake, brad, geo, tanner, and chase.....i just took pictures. When we arrived tanner proceded to destroy his back dropping in on one of the "walls". After the ceremonial speech from one of the directors, we were asked to "give an exhibtion"....so i decided i would hand out free session passes and stickers...by the time i had walked to the car and grabbed them and turned around....the director had ended the demo, which lasted about 3 minutes.....amazing. the woman was so impressed with blake she called him "ig air"....matt sharer enjoyed this...and with a shake of blakes hand(not knowing with that handshake he was agreeing to, the passing of the nickname) had a very big anvil lifted of his chest. So im not even going to explain anymore of the weekend...just check the captions.

Blake "big air" Moore and Matt "formerly big air" Sharer, shaking hands and sealing the deal.

the result of tanners only 3 minutes of skating the park.

one of the amazing obstacles in the park.

the park was ridiculous, but very fun to skate.

another view.

as you can see from here..the banks are a little steep...they are the "walls" i spoke of that tanner had his little spill on.

unity.

kilroy gets blake pumped for some queen.

blake gave the war cry....."PROTOQUEEN MANNNNIAAAA"

i like being in the front row, this was too close. Panthers microphone nearly hit me in the face a few times.

the other band...dont know their name, covered outkast...it was good....and they actually had more plugins...mics...and keyboards than the protodudes...doesnt happen often.

this 40 year old woman kept throwing herself on blake and casey....it was awesome.

the outkast coverererers....

blake went surfing.

she is that uncomfortable person that screams in your ear....pushes you with her sweaty body, and does everything possible to stand exactly were you are trying to stand.

i dont have a descrption for this one.

casey enjoys the filters rather than the tobacco

zoo on thursday was great...good weather...family was with me...and there were awesome animals.

the smiling salamander....my favorite, since the damn zoo decided to get rid of the hippo.

the ILY Phelps of the animal kingdom.

snakes are awesome and scary.

Blake lands a lofty kickflip while nearly decaptitating a child.

Blakes signature battle cry.

and geo with his signature battle cry as well.
