SOTY and a paint job
Skate of the Year - Leo Romero. Year after year Thrasher puts together a great party and this night was no exception. The only downer was the lack of the traditional open bar, or if you aren't a fan of drunken antics, it was a good thing.
Waiting for the doors to open, Terry looks over an issue of COLOR.

Ceremonial tossing of the Leo SOTY shirts.
We had a couple days of dry weather so it was time to be productive. Right now, I"m filming for the next Skate Tested video. Jerry is testing out the new Westgate shoe from Emerica.
Jerry and his new shoes.
We've been getting our fair share of wet and inclement weather here, although not nearly as bad as Vancouver and the rest of the continent. So with extra time on my hands I cleaned my bearings and gave the board a new paint job. Lakai sent the next shoes to be tested, the re-release of the Manchester cupsole with a Vincent Alverez twist.
