Magic City Showdown
Was absolutely amazing. I really can't think of anything else to say about it. The spots started off at this mellow handicap-ish rail behind a library on 40th and 9th south, I think. It was pretty chill and started off the event well. Kids were killing it.
The second spot was this weird bank to rail think that no one really skated once they noticed the chest-high drop rail. The drop being like... 12 feet ish? David Sizemore did a ridiculous fish brain 180 down. Then, Brian Freeman did probably the most beautiful 360 over the down rail gap. It was nuts.
The third spot was this bank rail that looked like it used to belong to a loading dock. You could either grind up the rail, or launch the gap. Joey Chase decided to get sick as fuck, get some car speed, and do both. Fucking phenomenal.
The fourth spot was insane. It was this huge double kink rail in Highland Park, with the most gnarly landing I've ever seen. Also, Joey Chase said it was fast... which means it was insanely fast. Scott Wells showed everyone up and did a tru mizou down the whole thing. Cody Sanders was doing a sick hurricane 360 top soul on it, but the kink was throwing him of, but sick none the less.
The last spot was this homemade gap rail that went down a grass gap, and then at the bottom the rail hung off the edge of this concrete drop. You were basically forced to disaster it, also, because the beginning of the rail was set a little ways away from the run up. David Sizemore got stupid and tru 540 top torque souled it. No. Shit.
Everyone skated so hard and did so well ALL DAY. Here are the results I remember:
1st: David Sizemore
2nd: Joey Chase (by ONE point!)
3rd: Frankie
They went down to 10th place, but I just don't remember. We have a few pics from the 4th and 5th spots that I'll go through and post later!
Afterwards, James and I went to get something to eat at Al's (oh, sweet, sweet Al's). Went and skated the flat rail at the last spot a bit, then went to Charles's for the after party. We met a ton of great fucking people and made some new friends that I can't wait to skate with at some point. Then, James and I went back to our hotel room, changed, and went to a few bars, and there was my downfall.
All in all, great fucking trip. I can't wait for next year's Magic City Showdown! Next up, Hoedown (hopefully), Ho Ho Ho, and Bittercold Showdown!

It was an absolutely ridiculous weekend, and I really can't wait for it next year.
I haven't decided if I'm going to make an edit of the footage I have or not. I can be a pretty big tard sometimes, and completely forgot to charge my camera batteries. So, we get there, and one battery is dead. No biggie, I have a backup that is "full." So, I start filming, and get through the Open Comp, i think. Then... disaster, the battery drains to zero, most likely from the heat. So, I put the camera up and just enjoy skating and watching the comps. I check it one more time before the Pro/Am starts... and i have 45 mintues of battery again...? So, we go inside and I bust it out and start filming the qualifier. Then... disaster, part 2! It drops to zero again. So, we try filming on James's digital camera, but that didn't really cut it. So, yeah. We'll see what I can get.

Superhick 2008
Superhick is this weekend, June 6th and 7th, in Newnan, GA at The Factory Skatepark. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm pretty stoked about it. It's going to be my first ever skate comp. Which is weird, considering how long I've been skating. But yeah, I'm taking my video and digital camera, so hopefully a few days afterwards, I'll have an edit and some pictures up.
