A few weekends ago (two if we want to get down to the nitty-gritty) Bondi played host to the annual VANS Bowl-a-rama.
Now this is a time when Bondi and it's inhabitants flourish. Everyone decides to don a skatie claiming they're a bowl local (despite the uncanny new crisp-ness of said skatie), Beach Rd Hotel report record sales in cider and little groms run around pepped up on free Mountain Dew.
While the actual big comp day was on Saturday 19th, leading up was a convoy of events which although sporting different names and featured musicians, upon recollection, differing each night becomes quite the chore. Been to one hipster party with unshowered 'alt' individuals gauping at undiscovered models and artwork alike, been to them all.
Anyway, enough ripping on them.
So the actual day was kinda mind-blowing. Like gravity defying shit was going down. The crowd was eating it up, going wild. Yours truly managed to score a media pass courtsey of a certain publication, so managed to spock out some decent shots without ripping them of from the intranet.
End of the day results were 15-year-old Pedro Barros smashing the pro division, Steve Caballero taking out the Masters four years in a row (pow pow) and Bob Burnquist snatching best trick with a switch frontside heelflip frontside air. Yes i realise that is a lot of words there so for the visual equivalent youtube that shit, it takes far to long for me to upload...
Holy crap! so many people in the stands!
ReplyDeleteLove the shots... I also love how the cider sales increase haha :)
