This year for Go Skate Day, Coalition threw a Lord of the Lines contest at Slo park in Memory of last years winner Oscar Gonzalez.
Pablo on the mic doing his best Tim O'Connor impression. Pablo was keeping the crowd entertained.
The esteemed panel of judges

Will Ramsey wasn't the first to go, but he was the first one I shot photos of so I'm gonna go with it.
Fs Nosegrind
Sticky Blunt Fingaz Smith
Backside Nosegrind
Pablo informed everybody that Connor Anthony was voted "Best legs on the Central Coast". I'll let you decide that one.
Rock n' Roll
Fs Disaster to Smith
Fs Sweeper
Green Room?
Ah the classic days of taping your shoes
Purple tape did the trick
Justice with a Five-O
For some reason the place was filled with bugs and seagulls.
Carey Lynch lives in the land of few skaters in Los Osos. It was good to see him come out to the contest.
Wallie to 180 in.
Krook up the ramp
I always thought Cougar was in his twenties. I was shocked to hear his real age.
Blunt to Backside Tail Revert
Dylan Strasell is one of two actual skaters in Morro Bay. He made me proud with taking the Neal Blender approach and making his runs look fun.
Bs Booger slide
Frontside Board
Hanging on to a Krook
Midway through the contest I took a peek at the Judges Scores. Daniel Parks went with a logical point system
Nate on the other hand went with random phrases.
John Lucas made it out before having to return to work.
Switch Backside Grind
Cougar apparently didn't know that a Yeti can fly.
Fs Stalefish
Then there was General Steezy.
Nobody knew where he came from but Pablo loaned him his board.
The general drops the bomb.
The General had big dreams of being part of Remption until he slipped out and...
There goes Pablo's board
Moon Boots?
This somehow...
Turned into this
Kevin Bennet with an awesome one foot. It's always good to see a young guy kick off the front foot.
Alex Knight
Fs Smith
Bs Five-O
Bs 360
Kayl Johnson with a Krook.
Anonymous kickflip
Pablo was offering Daniel five bucks for a Bs Heelflip off the kicker. Did Pablo ever pay you?
Aldo Bs Five-O
The judges think over who will make it to the final five of the next round.
Dylan Strasell
Alex Knight
John Lucas
Carey Lynch

Dylan graduates from Booger to Blunt.
Nosestall Yank in
Alex, Fs Five-0 180
Cougar with a 180 over the pyramid top

Yeti almost pulled a fatty to flatty, but barely clipped at the end.
It was now time to announce the winners
Pablo killing it with his best stand up routine
Alex gets the bronze
Dylan with the silver
Yeti wins the gold
The Jazz Push top 5
1. Pablo - Did I mention he was killing it on the mic?
2. Yeti - Probably hasn't entered a contest in 5 years.
3. Cougar - Skates like a man for only being...
4. Kayl Johnson - Proper all day
5. General Steezy - Until he wore out his welcome.
"These prizes seriously take a shit on what Monster gives out."
After the ceremony was the Oscar Gonzalez Double Flip Contest.
Daniel goes for one
Then Carey
Then Josh
Kayl ended up the first one to land it.
Making everybody happy
Thanks to Eli, Coalition and everybody who was there for the awesome contest. I was weary about doing it at Slo Park this year but it ended up being a good time.
