Elwood Relay for Life

Kenny Anderson, John Rattray, Nate Broussard, Daniel Espinoza, Steve Nesser, special guests Danny Montoya and Chris Haslam, and a grip of filmers, photogs and local rippers came out to Peninsula High School's Relay for Life Event to raise money for Cancer Research and have a little fun. Please visit the Relay for Life website to see how you can get involved in your area.

 

Jeff King was kind enough to lug out a few ramps from his personal stash.

 

The launch ramp was a big hit and inspired some old school tricks like this stylish Judo Air...

 

and this Method.

 

Rattray made an appearance.

 

As did Nate Broussard.

 

Chris Haslam got in on the action, seen here grabbin Stalefish.....

 

on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles board no less.

 

Steve Nesser

 

Danny Montoya likes it.

Ian O'Connor and Yoon Sul were there documenting the happenings.

 

So was Mark Stewart, thanks for the vid.

The raffle winners were stoked about taking home some loot.

It was a true family affair, Jeff King with his son Cedar...

 

and Ian O'Connor with his daughter.

Skating is fun and all but this is what the day was all about, raising money for cancer research, remembering those we have lost and honoring those who are fighting.

 

 

 

Kenny would like to thank:

Dressin' for Recession Tour Photo Post Vol 1

 

Dan Drehobl, Vincent Alvarez, John Rattray, a photographer and a filmer climbed aboard a van bound for Kenny Anderson and the bright lights of Las Vegas. Here's what went down. Check back soon for the full tour video and go cop the June issue of Thrasher Mag for the article. Part 2 out next week.

 

 

Dan the Navigator. Dan is the directions guy he always knows where we're going, how to get there and where to eat once we're there.

 

 

The open road.

 

Vince and John stretch their legs and get a little fresh air.

 

Kenny welcomes us to Vegas and this beautiful pool.

Vince lipslide

 

Kenny back tail

 

Rattray is unphased by the dude pissing in the corner

 

After the pool session we treated ourselves to a long night on the town.

 

Unfortunately long nights lead to early mornings. These two are looking haggered.

 

Either some sort of Scottish Yoga or Rattray is praying to the Hangover Gods for forgiveness.

 

Whatever it was it looks like it worked, Rattray seen here looking refreshed under rock.

 

 Kenny behind the lens.

 

 

Roger doesn't mess around.

 

Vince bigside air

 

Dan is unimpressed.

 

Kenny back tail

 

Vince likes it.

 

Rattray lipslides the shit out of this suburban ditch.
