Skateboarding

Under soaked and darkened skies, the second stop of 2013′s X Games global tour wrapped up this afternoon in Barcelona, Spain. Repeat winners from Foz do Igucau, Brazil in each skateboarding event seemed to become the common thread throughout the sunny weekend as Bucky Lasek, Bob Burnquist, Nyjah Huston, and Pedro Barros reclaimed gold medals for their skills and high point values in Vert, Big Air, Street League and Skateboard Park respectivey. Lizzie Armanto also brought home a gold medal for her efforts in the Womens Skateboard Park competition.

A discrete plea to crowdsource a Dennis Busenitz You-Tube link: In the way one can be struck by a sudden craving for a Burger King Whopper or a grape-flavored cigarillo, midweek brought an overpowering urge to cue up the footage for what onetime Thrasher ledge-lord Josh Kalis declared to be the best manual trick performed ever at the pier. This ad came around 2007 and apparently before Busenitz made the hop to Adidas. The clip wasn’t filmed in time to make “Roll Forever,” was too far on the left side of the Western hemisphere for inclusion in “Diagonal” and my first guess, Volcom’s “Let’s Live,” wasn’t right. Sifting Real’s “Kitchen Sink” odds-n-ends video didn’t turn it up. The desire remains strong to the point reviewing various Thrasher and TWS video montages remains under consideration.
