TransWorld Awards!

I could give you a play-by-play of the entire night, but really, you'll find about all the winners, gossip and tomfoolery soon enough. Fun times as always. Actually, the most important thing that happened at the 8th annual TransWorld awards was this quote. Remember it:

Skateboarding isn't a sport, it's a way of life. When you stop skateboarding, you stop living.
—Danny Way upon accepting his award for "Vert Skater of the Year."

Omar and Timmy O, with Dennis Busenitz in the shadows. (Despite winning an award, his name was spelled wrong on the video presentations/interludes all night long.)

Jon Goemann is crutched up and out of commission for a bit, but my interview with him in the next issue of The Skateboard Mag might hold you over 'til he's back on board again.

Grant Taylor Rules!

Party pictures of Braydon are fun.

Eric Stricker and Clyde Singleton demonstrate the "bro hug" while Bill Weiss demonstrates the "Tough guy walk-through" in the background. (That's an old Thrasher reference to Greg Carroll in a contest article. Only true skate nerds will get that one.

The Asylum kid from the Oceanside park (wearing a WASP shirt I might add) getting the boot while Mikey Taylor acts concerned.

I'm guessing my homey Shad got way funner photos. Go there now.
