Volcom's Wild In the Parks @ American Fork Skatepark 05.08.10

2010 WILD IN THE PARK STOP#1
Volcom’s 2010 North American Wild in the Parks Tour was kicked off in style at American Fork's own Greenwood Skatepark on Saturday, May 8th. With 200 competitors shredding the park for a chance at invites to this year’s $25,000 WITP Championships in Arizona. Needless to say, it was a ruthless battle consisting of everything from a kickflip back tail shove out to tre-flip boardslides. The skill level of the skaters was off the charts and gave everyone more than enough to think about on their way home at the end of the day! Photos: Gage Thompson

The Skaficionados CD Release Party 05.07.10

The Skaficianados celebrated their newest CD release and future tour plans by headlining a show with fellow ska and punk bands on 05.07.10 at Kilby Court.  Among the local bands skanking alongside the Skaficianados were 2 1/2 White Guys, Storming Stages & Stereos, Love Astronauts, and In Key Drop Outs.  The crowd seemed to enjoy every performance from actions of acceptance ranging from shouts of encouragement, to full on monkey-hump the red pole in the middle of the pit.  Emotions were higher for some because it was the last show for the In Key Drop Outs, but that didn't stop anyone from throwing a few fists and moshing during their entire set.  Photos by Eric Poole.

Johnny's on Second Anniversary Party

Johnny's on Second had an Anniversary party on Saturday May 8th and it was quite a turnout. Everyone came out early to have a good time and listen to some great music from Oh! Wild Birds. Mike Phillips and Mike Touw were slinging beers and shots making sure everyone had a happy buzz and a smile on their face. There is no excuse to be bored at Johnny's with 3 pool tables, a shuffleboard, a stage for bands, plenty of tv's and plenty of booze. If Johnny's on Second isn't a regular hang out, you should think twice about where you spend your time. Photos by Mitch Allen

Natturday 2010

The 2nd annual Natturday went down during Brighton's closing weekend. Neff sponsored a rail jam while the Natty girls were slangin' beers on the deck and Mike Brown was telling fortunes in the Natty Wagon. After the bikini contest, shredders and skiers ragged long after the lifts had shut down for the day. Boardin', beer drinkin' and chicks in bikinis--does it get any better than this?

Queen's Cup 2010

The 5th annual Queen's Cup kicked off last weekend at Park City Mountain Resort with better weather than anyone could have hoped for. The all-girls competition is based on a team format with a pro rider or skier leading each team. Each competitor is judged individually and as a team. All the girls, regardless of their ability level, threw down hard to try to walk away with the cash prize. In the end, Erica Durtschi defended her title and took home first.
