CROSSROADS 2010, done and done

Fashion / Life / Skate

Crossroads Retail Show in San Diego was a breathe of fresh air. This was the first year under ownership of ASR and things were better than ever. It seems people are finally understanding and accepting that skateboarding is its own unique beast and can’t conform to any other way. Although no longer at Black Box Distribution’s headquarters where they house one heck of a training facility, the best trick contest went off without a hitch with a giant meandering shark wall and 11 stair rail in the form of a giant sword. Nyjah Houston surprised spectators not only with the length of his locks, but with his bag of tricks too. But it wouldn’t be a Zero x Thrasher event if Chris Cole didn’t go home with some money.  At the same time, in the upstairs branch of the convention centre called Class, brands and consumers alike have grown to understand the culture a bit more and able to contribute to better looking, more functional products.


watch the play by play from best trick, here.
