AND FOR ALL YOU SINGLE LADIES...
we didn't get a chance to make it out the billabong damn am bowl jam this year, but luckily field agent louis feller handled it for us...
"Billabong damn am 2009 at bonsor skate park with Brian Schaeffer and friends handing out 20$ bills for any killer tricks in the bowl brought out the new school and the old school to the bowl jam with riders like Alex Chalmers shredding just about anything,Nate Lacoste with some smooth lines and Adam Hopkins doing some huge air's and several attempts at a Mctwist ,there was a lot of ripping going on . Ollie PoP Bubble Gum put up 600$ for the highest ollie contest witch was amazing to watch as the bar got up to 40-inch's Chad Dickson and billabongs Jeff Marshel who went head it head for the cash. "
