\"051609<\/a><\/p>\n

We spent most of the day at the 2009 Pro-Tec Pool Party<\/strong> at The Vans Skatepark<\/strong> at The Block in The City of Orange, California and when we think back there was so much mind blowing skateboarding that it all became a bit of a blur that went a little like this (click here for some photos<\/a><\/strong>):<\/p>\n

Grind, snake, grind, mumble, mumble, Tony Alva<\/strong>, yeah, Tony Alva, Chris Miller<\/strong>, Bucky Lasek<\/strong>, near-miss, near-miss, Captain and Casey<\/strong> dressed a pool boys, Red<\/strong> in a mirror-shaded speedo, loud, loud, loud, Steve Van Doren<\/strong> flipping burgers, Steve Alba<\/strong> stretching, huge air, Dave Duncan<\/strong> on the mic and we can’t understand a word, Steve Luther<\/strong> staring Conversations, a girl skating in a skirt, winks from Rob Brink<\/a><\/strong>, Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins<\/strong> all grown up, Doug Paladini<\/strong> shaking hands, T-Mag<\/strong>, Bryce Kanights<\/strong>, Joel Gomez<\/strong>, Daily Habit<\/strong> Director Jen Goodman<\/strong>, Chris Overholser<\/strong> on the move, Geoff Rowley<\/strong> lurking, Jamey Stone<\/strong> on a cane, Christian Hosoi<\/strong> and his over 30 fans, that Pedro Barros<\/strong> kid wrecks this place, Dave Carnie’s<\/strong> weird beard, Ashton Maxfield<\/strong> sans glasses, consultant Mike Chantry<\/strong>, proud dad Dennis Jenson<\/strong>, Mark Waters<\/strong> and Bob Schmeltzer<\/strong>, the evasively ethereal Vans_66<\/a><\/strong>, Bob Burnquist<\/strong> and his roller bag, a Hi-Def backstage tour, Carleton Curtis<\/strong>, Dan Maiman<\/strong>, and John Stouffer<\/strong>, Danny Kass<\/strong> wandering the mall in bright colors, Desiree Astorga<\/strong> on a curb, Rockstar<\/strong> on ice, kids running the park, and reports of Mos Def<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We do know a couple things: one, no one skates the combi with more power and style than Chris Miller, and two, with the way Bucky Lasek rolls this place he will keep winning The Pool Party until he doesn’t want to win it anymore.<\/p>\n
