Center of Gravity – Day 2

“All of your base belong to us”

Yes, it’s DAY 2, and the shenanigans continue.

Today was best line, and the kids were going for it.

Yo, is that SUPER T? Did he just throw a back flip? Old guys’ got skillz…

So, unlike yesterday, it was about who could throw down the whole line today. Not just one jump, but the overall styles.

I dunno what you think, but that set of denims on the right has some serious styles if you ask me.

Must have been the Romo fan club…

Anyway, back to the comp.

So everyone jumped. I forget who won. It was some youg guy who slayed a couple of nice clean runs without missing any landings. Pretty sweet. Casey threw down this flipwhip after the event, just because.

Oh, and Romo had to send a big three without tacoing his wheel….

….just because.

Center of Gravity – Day 1

Ever wonder what goes on inside Dangerous Dan’s head? Apparently a bunch of earwax….

So this is the Center of Gravity, which is a new mid-summer beach festival in Kelowna. Take a bunch of beach volleyball players and mountain bikers and toss them on the beach. Good idea.

It’s a small event at this point. Just a handful of locals like Casey Groves, Garet Buehler, Sterling Grassick, Romo, Doerfling, Schnepf, and Super T.

That seems to be enough to put on a show though.

The first day required some tuning on the jumps.

The boys didn’t seem to have too many problems. A handful of unknown locals really spiced up the show.

Here’s the roll in ramp from a fun angle.

Our man Rob was running the elevator. Watching a few of the guys ride UP the rollin was more fun though.

Of course, there was also some beach volleyball if you wanted something different.

I don’t know what it is, but I spent a lot of time watching volleyball…

Or you could try to watch it all at once.

How do you like my new fisheye lens? Actually, Romo kept over-rotating his three’s, and went through a bunch of wheels. Too much ‘zest’ can ruin the sauce….

DJ’s, flow show, beer garden, volleyball. Nice one with two guys airborne on the same hit.

Super T wants you to join him and the other zombies in their brain eating activities.

Cheeker and Romo.

Random guy (Mr. White) that stole my camera.

Yeaaahhhhhh Booooooooyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Oh, and I got to be a judge for the best trick comp. Here’s a look at one of my fellow judges score sheet (one Shane Jensen, former child star).

I got the crap end of the deal apparently. Check out what these guys got to judge.

Oh yeah…

Some kind of show, isn’t it?

It came down to these two.

I was kind hypnotized by the colour blue at this point.

But the judges saw it differently. I’m satisified with that decision….
