ASR September 2008, Day One

ASR September 2008 is in full swing, so you know what that means: Skank Party!!! Just joshing girls, well most of you anyway. Here’s what the non-skate area looks like, plus some manly men for the complainers out there.

BAM! Right off the bat.

People love to talk sh-t about ASR and how lame it is, but I see it like this: When it’s my job to see some great friends that I don’t get to see too often, and all the food and drinks are free, it ain’t a bad thing. So here’s what I did and who I saw on the first night of the madness. More to come all weekend.

We jetted over to House Of Blues for the Converse party and saw Scotty from The Hundreds out front. Nice hair.

Friday at ASR, Grind For Life held a high ollie contest. Little Aldrin Garcia came up a few inches short of the world record but still pulled through with a 40 inch ollie, the highest ollie of the day, and $1,500 cash. Runners up included Kien “The Donger” Lieu, Luis Tolentino, and Darren Harper.
