my flight was delayed an entire day so I completely missed the banks event...
but I made it to Manny Mania! Nice crowd. They knew what was being thrown down and appreciated every second of it.
Esteemed judges. Our own Rodney Torres was one of them.
Cheeks was gliding around the course. Chico has been ripping...
Yeah Malcolm! Just got married and moved to Queens. Bet you didn't know that.
Half of the announcing crew, Jefferson Pang interviewing Joey. Incidentally RB Umali has been filming with Joey the entire week
and it will be a 30 minute show on Fuel soon. No webcast this year apparently...
Nieriatko from NJ skateshops. Roll in and check out the Autobahn/NJ co-op wheel we did.
It came out super clean and it's only available at NJ skateshops.
Dustin Blauvelt is one of our flowbros. He backside 360ed the rail at the banks the day before...
Incidentally, 6 of the top 9 finalists were on Autobahns! Best two wheels in the business!
Here was the rundown:
4. Eli Reed
5. Malcom Watson
6. Kelly Hart
7. Stevie Williams
8. SAD
9. Danny Falla
3. Brandon Biebel
2. Chico Brenes

Congratulations Buck! It was truly amazing to see all the skaters in the final throw down tricks that
would have ended video parts a few short years ago in the span of 8 minute heats.
Oftentimes they would throw magic back to back to back. It's pretty incredible the level of skill that
these guys are skating at.
Lookee there. The spoils of war...
Time to celebrate...
...wait...
...Max Fish!
Joey and Rodney Torres
Chico, Bucks, and Tyrone from LRG
Josh from Red Bull knows a lot about wine.
Felix
Jon Newport is a funny guy.
Billy Rohan's sisters. How bout that.
Iphone.
As the night moved on and got more rowdy, there was an open challenge to anyone
that could beat Biebel at arm wrestling. 100 bucks if you could do it.
Apparently he's never lost. Handled that dude in 5 seconds flat.
ended the night playing pool in the hotel with Schaeffer till the wee hours of the night...
Thanks to all the NYC heads for all the hospitality and to all the skaters for showing up
and terrorizing. Especially our Autobahn riders for stepping it up! Congrats to Joey! It was a hard fought win...
