BRINGING IT TO THE STREETS 2008

Here is the video from this years Bringing it to the Streets contests last weekend, care of city of new lights

MORE RESULTS COMING IN!

The S&J boys are doing a hell of a job this summer. This past weekend was the Rogers Wam at the Plaza in Winnepeg. Our youngbuck Justin Bassett and TJ Rogers both qualified for the finals. Unfortunately neither of them made top 8 to make any money, but with the heavy competition there was, they did a hell of a job to make it as far as they did. TJ Rogers did however come through to make some money in the end switch bigspin heeling the double set in the best trick contest!!!!
In Vancouver this past Sunday, it was Underworlds Bring it to the Streets contest. They took a bus all over for the day to various spots to "bring it to the streets". The contest was an amazing concept. Ryan Bonnell was ripping, however he was one of the judges so he did not get to take any prize money home, but both Spencer Hamilton and Dustin Montie came home a little bit richer! There will be a video posted within the next few days of the event.
As for this coming weekend, we have Kevin Lowry heading out to Montreal for the DC Nationals finals.
In Vancouver The Game of Horse on a bench is happening infront of Underworld saturday afternoon. We expect Chad Dickson, Dustin Montie, Ryan Bonnell and Spencer Hamilton to be out there doing there thing in hopes of becoming a little bit richer and coming home with the title.
Check back after the weekend to find out what happened over this coming weekend!

S&J WELCOMES CHAD DICKSON TO THE TEAM

S&J Sales Co. Introduces New Team Rider 

S&J Sales Co. are excited to introduce Chad Dickson to the team. 

Chad has put out great video parts such as Yesterdays Future, Sophomore 

Jinx in the recent past and is currently working on a new video part for the 

City of New Lights project among other things in the works 

In the past few years, Chad has made it hard not to notice him around 

with the amount of coverage he has been producing and continuously 

produces. 

Chads skills, motivation and amazing personality has made it an easy 

choice to add him to the team. We at S&J are proud to have him 

representing Expedition One Skateboards.

DAMN AM VANCOUVER!

Damn Am came through Vancouver this past weekend and the S&J riders managed to come through again in placings. Unfortunately TJ Rogers just missed the cut into the finals by two standing at 14th, Mitch Barrett came in at 11th place and Dustin Montie came out in 8th place in the end. Unfortunately it rained out so the finals didnt actually take place and this is what the guys qualified. We don't have any photos at this time but make sure to check out www.cityofnewlights.com for some photos of the event.

a bit more of expedition

Heres another video from our trip down to seattle to meet up with the expedition team, before coming up to Vancouver.

Expedition at the plaza

After a heavy, heavy week of long day and nights of skating and having fun, the "skate with the expedition team" arrived on saturday. Unfortunately the guys didnt skate terribly much, being they were all super beat from street skating all week. But everyone got to meet some of their favorite pros, win some free gear and have a good time.

P.s. Ask Welsh about his game of skate with Wade if you get a chance..

Dustin and Chany judge the best trick contest down the stairs

Chany gets swarmed by the kiddies

The ever so classic board toss

All in all, the trip was a success! The team went home with lots of footage and photos throughout the trip. All the Canadian riders got to meet and hangout with their American counterparts for a week and everyone just got to have a lot of fun skating this past week. All the guys cant wait to come back to Vancouver as soon as they get their next possible chance. There was an afterparty at shine nightclub after the event so check back soon for a couple more photos of that.

Thanx to everyone who came out to the event and supported!!!!

EXPEDITION VANCOUVER

Things got a little lost with all the choas going on throughout the week with the expedition team in town. Lots of long days skating tonnes of spots in and around Vancouver. Here are some of the photos that have been gathered up of some of the fun.
