We found ourselves once again driving North on the 405, on our way to the star covered streets of Hollywood for one of the biggest events of the year; the Transworld Skateboarding Awards!. Tom Contreras, Alvaro, Pepe and Jonnhy Pacheco all had the chance to get in as soon as the doors opened and went straight to the Lobby of the AVALON to get the pre-party started.
Tom Contreras introduced us to some friends from his old street days, Jeron Wilson, Kellen James, Jimmy Carlin…Etc. Finally the time to sit down came and my brother Hali went to the VIP room for extra pictures, then Bill Weiss took over the stage to kick off the 11th annual TWS awards.
Lance Mountain, Christian Hosoi and Tony Hawk after the Awards.
Overall a great event that brought together some of the biggest names in the industry. After the awards Bill Weiss annouced the Premiere of the TWS Video “Right foot forward”, that was greatly anticipated by everybody. The video had crazy technical tricks, great filming and editing work, along with the talented skateboarding abilities of all of the riders but specially Kellen James, Joey Brezinski and Matt Beach that brought back a little of the oldschool fun feeling.
We had a great time :) and can’t wait to do it again !!!
