1031 USA Tour 2009

2009-06-30T17:38:00.000-07:00

The 1031 2009 USA Tour has come to an end. The guys are all back home and resting their body's after a month on the road and 9000 miles under their belts. I must give props to "Iornman" Kristian, he drove the whole thing battling the elements, fatigue, and a van load of smells that the Las Vegas crime lab could not even identify. The last leg was a trip from Fort Collins CO to Oceanside CA. They left in the AM and made it by 11:00 PM. That is normally a two day trip.
Lots of photos, video and stories from the road. I am sure you will get more from 1031's web so keep checking it out.

Dakota White Wins Trip

2009-06-30T17:32:00.000-07:00

Dakota White won a trip to the Money Cup In Cali!!!
He won the trip with the most votes for his video posted on the Internet.
So thank you if you took the time to vote. This is his first trip to Cali and he is going to tear that state up! They might not let him go home. So we wish him the best on the vert contest. After the big event Dakota is meeting up with Greg to get a SoCal tour of all the great skate spots. We will let you know how that goes.

1031 at Vinny's

2009-06-28T04:27:00.000-07:00

WoW! The demo lasted over 1 hour. The park will never be the same!
Raybourn's blunt to fakie on the back of the railing was a first! The crowd commented on how everyone in the demo brought their own style and killed it.
1031, make Omaha a STOP every time you are passing through.
Check our photo page and the 1031 link for more.
One more demo in Colorado and then back to Cali.

What a killer time. Great band! Good Guys In Black. High energy punk with a heavy footed drummer.The bass licks were strong and the lead guitar was laying it down. Rick's vocals were raw and in your face!

On Monday,Greg surprised most of us back here in Omaha. His Aunt was in town from DC and had not seen Greg for a bit so she offered to fly him home for the week. The week went by fast. Greg had a long list of folks waiting to have him tattoo them. Check the photo page for a few of them. We got to do the last bowl jam at Vinny's. Vinny is sending the bowl to Des Moines and putting in a new street course.
Jordan and Pat are flying back to San Diego with Greg in the AM. They are going to spend the week with him.

Vinny's Skatepark Contest

2009-03-29T15:19:00.000-07:00

Well the dust has settled. One more in the many rocking contests held by Vinny. Vinny went all the way to KC for one judge, Vermont for another and a local skater to round off the 3. These 3 judges had no idea what they were in for. Tough to say the least.
One world record holding skater from Wisconsin. Rippers from Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas,Missouri and from all over Nebraska. One minute runs followed by top 5 jam sesh. The judges needed to see more, so one more individual run. The top 5 went like this: Zach 5th, Pat 4th, Jon 3rd, Alec 2nd, Jordan took 1st.
For the other results check our Vinny's link.

Greg did a park opening in Fillmore Ca yesterday The crowd was BIG check out socalskateparks.com for some footy and pix.
The local paper has a shot of Greg and a nice write up on the opening. A few weeks back Greg was in the San Diego paper too, he was skating his local park (Poway) and the Tribune was doing a piece on some thumbprint system to gain entrance to the park. They got a shot of Greg doing an invert.
Soon Pat and Jordan are hopping on a plane to spend a week with Greg in Cali. I am sure we will have some stories to share with you when that goes down.

This last week has been very busy he had a friend from Canada come down to skate with him. They hit every spot they could. You can see one of their sessions at Pala, go to our Concrete Disciples web link and find Pala Sunday Sesh. It has some great shots. Would you expect any thing less from MRZ?
Grip tape sales have been very good, Vinny's just got a shipment this week and they are half gone already.The shops out in Cali have been moving it fast as well.
