Remz Pro Franky Morales, Flows Josiah Blee (who killed the comp!) Russell Day and Sean Cowen @ the Barnburner 2011 in Skate Barn Seattle. Props to local heros Kawika Jarman and Jeremy Townsend.
Did not plan on filming this years 10th Barn Burner competition, but during the warm ups to the finals, I noticed there wasn’t many people who were actually filmed the comp, so I felt obligated to document something.
I went up to everyone of my friends asking them to help me film and Zach Smith agreed to help out. We were filming earlier in the day and I was low on batteries and tape. We missed a lot of tricks. The top 3 landed a lot more than I was able to film, and Aaron got hurt during the finals and wasn’t able to land all the tricks he needed for the win.
I spent 30 minutes editing, no color correction, and song choice wasn’t decided until my drive home from work.
Song: Beatles – Mean Mr. Mustard ; Polythene Pam – She Came in Through the Bathroom Window.
The 2009 Barnburner was utterly amazing. Thanks to the huge community of people surrounding SkateBarn that made everything possible, and for all the sponsors and skaters showing up to make this event a “blazing” success. Barnburner is always unique and this year was no different.
Shima took the highly coveted fireman axe & helmet, hand painted by Solace who also designed the contest graphics & t-shirt. The emcee’s, scratch that, commentators (Biff & Chip aka Rob Inks from Budget Threads & Mike Powell from K2), really stole the show with their throwback 80′s fits & personalities. The Razors pre-party and the After Burn was a unique opportunity to mingle & create memories with our peers over some Milwaukee’s “Best”.
All in all, some uber crazy sh*t went down, I once again saw lines and tricks I’ve never seen in the park. Here’s to another crazy contest next year.
