If you live in Orange County, CA check out a skate demo featuring girls team rider Allysha Bergado this weekend in Twentynine Palms, CA hosted by OCskateboarding.com:

OCskateboarding.com:
Twentynine Palms, CA has asked us to provide a skateboard demo and judging of their local skateboard competition! The demo and competition will be held during the city’s 72nd Annual Pioneer Days festival.

The event runs 3 days but we will be there Saturday, October 18th with some of the southland’s finest!

OCSkateboarding will be bringing several skaters to the event, including Apryl Woodcock, Anthony Johnson, 12 yr old Allysha Bergado, 13 yr old Austin Poynter and our very own Mandy Esch!

You can catch the skateboarders from 2pm to 4pm on Saturday, and our booth will be setup all day. Stop in and visit us! We will have merchandise from several of our vendors and you can meet some of the skateboarders.

I know it is a long trip for this type of event, but it should turn out to be a fun day trip and besides, doesn’t everybody love a festival?

A couple weekends ago, Team rider Shelby Kantar cruised out to Redondo Beach, CA for The 13th Annual Dive n’ Surf Lobster Festival. Shelby and the rest of the Body Glove team, including Daniel Doud, Robby Meistrel, Aaron Aubrey and Jeff McKee put on a demo for the crowd.

Shelby Kantar

Here is a little recap from www.alliancewake.com:
“This was the first time that Body Glove has been involved so they wanted to make sure that all of the visitors took notice, and what better way to do that than to send a couple of their wakeboarders flying off of kickers and into fixed metal poles that are planted right in the landing zone of the lagoon? Exactly what Aaron Aubrey decided to do after landing a perfect wrapped frontside stalefish 5. Daniel Doud, Shelby Kantar and Robby Meistrel were the brains behind the operation and invited Aaron Aubrey and myself out to play along. The festival was three days long with killer beach bands, fresh lobster, Body Glove fashion shows and of course the wakeboard spectacle…Team Dantar constructed a 35 foot flat bar and a kicker for us to entertain the crowd with and to be honest my hands are still soaked in butter from slapping high fives with so many lobster consuming fanatics (they were fans of the show is what I am trying to say). Danny Evans even came out to MC the event. I even got the chance to go off the kicker wearing a lobster suit and short skis to finish the show. A water skiing lobster is pretty rare, so I’m like 97 percent sure it’ll probably end up in the Guiness book.” - Jeff McKee

Shelby just touched down in Singapore to shred with riders from 14 different countries this weekend at the Wakeboard World Cup. Good luck Shelby!

Check out the recap of the Tim Brauch Mememorial Contest that took place in Northern California last weekend. Annie Sullivan shredded the bowl and came home with a solid 3rd place finish. Congrats Sullivan!

Video c/o www.thesideproject.com:

“This year’s 10th Annual Tim Brauch Memorial Contest took place this past weekend and was definitely the most memorable event to date. Friends, family, and local skaters all came out this past Saturday and Sunday in memory of Tim Brauch, who was and is one of the most respected skaters of all time. Tim’s great talent and willingness to help local youth in skateboarding is what has kept this contest going for 10 years and that is why the leaders of skateboarding came to compete in this great contest.

Sunday’s contest hosted by World Cup of Skateboarding was at the new Lake Cunningham Regional Skate Park in San Jose, CA. Throughout the entire day this park was referred to as the “Best Park in the World” most likely because it is the largest skate park in California at 68,000 square feet and because it features the worlds longest full pipe, tallest vert wall and largest cradle. Not only was the 10th Annual Tim Brauch Memorial Contest at the best skate park but we also had the best pros and legends of skateboarding come out to compete in the contest including Christian Hosoi, Steve Caballero, and Duane Peters, Benji Galloway and Jimmi the Greek.”

The ladies went first in the day and totally killed it! Congratulations!
