Go Skate Day 2011

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
Daniel Parks, Nate Hoover, Josh Regalado and Ty Hjortland.


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


and Cougar


Carey starts off with a fs lipslide up.


Ollie to Wallride


Dylan graduates from Booger to Blunt.


Nosestall Yank in


Alex, Fs Five-0 180


Cougar with a 180 over the pyramid top


Yeti, Switch bs tail


Nollie Noseblunt


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.
