Transworld's 9th Annual Skate Awards


We headed out of the office early last Thursday for the 9th annual Transworld Skate Awards. Lance Mountain gave a legendary speech for a legendary award, that was definitely the highlight of the night. Mark Appleyard took home best street skater and your favorite rookie Braydon Szafranski took rookie of the year presented by TK, who I can happily say is out of jail. Dustin Dollin held the entire night down by dedicating it to the memory of Shane Cross. Jerry Hsu took the awards with 3 wins, so congrats to the tiltmode army and he whole Enjoi camp. WIth the Lakai video coming out and with the Malto age in full swing it was a no brainer for the Girl team to accept team of the year, congrats to the girl squad!!! We had a great time at the awards courtesy of Transworld, here is a photo you did not see anyhwere else, so peep game. Windsor James and Muska posted up together with Filmer Cricket for the best shot of the night. After hours the spider bar got a little crowded so we headed out, but thanks to transworld for the great show and thanks to all skateboarders everywhere for bringing skateboarding to where it is. I think Lance Mountain said it best, " YOu get out of skateboarding what you put in" you are so epic Lance and thank you for putting so much in!!!!
