Team Riders Hana Beaman, Jacqui Berg and Erin Comstock provide a glimpse into their world, of traveling the globe, filming and teaching up and coming riders. Hana Beaman, who has been holding it down in contests tell us "I was recently in Mammoth for the West Coast Invitational and Snowboarder Magazines’ Ms. Superpark Contest. I have also been searching for the last bit of snow to film my part for the new Runway Films Video.

After the Masters&apos; final was run, the top 10 qualifying pros returned for the final battle in a cloud of lacquer fumes. Throughout the day, the coping was abused so hard that regular re-application of the toxic sauce spray became necessary to keep the brand new pool block alive and kicking. Practice kicked off with the crowd scrambling for every last available seat, not that anyone was going to sit down at all, but space with a good vantage point was at an all time premium. The pros got warmed up, the judges got situated, and the "intro" runs ...

The main event, the big show, the madness... whatever you might call it the Pro Division at the Vans ProTec Pool Party, it supersedes any and all expectations. I tend to look at all things with a critical eye and a cynicism that I employ to temper my reaction to anything but the real deal. I&apos;ve seen a lot over the years, and nothing quite comes close to what goes down at the Pool Party. Even after being on the decks last year, my high expectations were once again blown away. These skateboarders are the best of the ...

This Music Saves Lives drive is just one of many related to the ultimate goal of raising over 30,000 units of blood this summer in the USA. Every summer the blood supply across the nation drops to critical levels, primarily due to the fact that almost 30% of the blood supply comes from college and high schools. During the summer, when school is not in session, many areas in the nation suffer from a low blood supply. A low blood supply can result in postponed surgeries, and can be life threatening in critical trauma situations and to cancer patients ...

Each year at the Pool Party, a media challenge event is held before the gates are open to the public and general admission audience. This is an opportunity for the various magazines, websites, and video outlets to throw an employee of their choice into the inferno of the Combi to compete for bragging rights and claim media superiority over their counterparts for a full year.<br /><br /> Last year&apos;s victor, Skateboarder Magazine&apos;s Scott Taylor showed up looking ready to rock. He recently left Skateboarder, but since he spent 11 1/2 months of the last year ...

There might be people out in the world who could care less about the results of the Women&apos;s division in a skate contest. I might not be able to influence those of weaker minded constitutions, but I&apos;d advise any doubters of the women to reconsider. If you happened to be at the event yesterday or watched the Vans webcast, you probably have a good sense of what these ladies are capable of, and most likely a good deal of respect for their prowess as well. Much like every other division in the event, the styles are ...

Maybe it&apos;s fitting that Saturday should dawn, sunless and overcast. And as the clouds begin to peel back and that familiar southern California sun begins to evaporate the marine layer, the grandstands are going up, the lacquer is being spread, and the energy drink is being put on ice. It would just be like any other Saturday, but it isn&apos;t. To most of the world it might seem as such, but to skateboarders, there won&apos;t come a day like this for another year. And after the dust settles no one will have the energy ...

Thursday heralded the arrival of hardcores, hopefuls and hellions at the Combi. In similar fashion to last year&apos;s epic throwdown, the last chance qualifying event was fast and furious, and seeing 3-4 riders attacking the Combi simultaneously, vying for those last remaining slots into Saturday&apos;s main event. It should be noted here that a couple of extra slots opened up in the Masters&apos; division due to injury. I regret to inform you that both Jeff Grosso and Tony Magnusson have withdrawn from this year&apos;s event. Grosso is one of my all time favorite ...

Any Vegas bookie will appear to lay odds to break even. But the idea is take as many suckers for as much cash as possible. A sports book is a for profit business strategy. Sure, every once in a while somebody comes up lucky on the long odds, you&apos;ve got to believe that more than one fool lays down a c-note every year on say, the Chicago Cubs winning the world series. You would be hard pressed to find any sort of bookmaker laying odds on skateboarding however. Skateboarding doesn&apos;t offer the guaranteed "line" the bookies ...

Are you ready for some football?<br /> Hopefully, the answer to that question is a resounding "NO." Nothing against Hank Jr., but seriously football is an utter waste of time, I mean if a bunch of grown men in tight pants, shoulder pads, and helmets, dogpiling each other gets you going, stop reading here. The Pool Party is less than a week away, and while you might see a few helmets, and a smattering of tight pants, there won&apos;t be any of the stupidity associated with football going on under the roof at the Block next Saturday.
