ONE was at the Santa Monica Boys and Girls Club Skatepark on Saturday, April 25th, for the first event of the LA All Day 2009 series. Bladers from all over the Los Angeles area came by to show their support or to skate in the comp, so here’s a glimpse of what went down. Check the LA All Day site for more info, complete list of final results, and info on upcoming events. See you there next time.

Its actually DJ Tommy The TomCat! haha nah im amateur when it comes to DJing, but LA All Day was a great time, and I had fun mixing the tunes with Carlos.
Thank You Tracy White, and Carlos Kessell for creating a great competition for skaters of all ages and skill levels. Thanks Justin and Wes for getting it out here for people to see. Thank you everyone who was there skating and supporting fuckin Rolling!
p.s. For anyone who doesnt like the new Rollerblade Solos, go check out Rob Guerrero in person rocking the new skates. He looked so good, and like he was having so much fun in them that im getting a pair tomorrow!
Mad respect to Tracy and Carlos for doing something so good for blading, and helping kids do one of the funnest physical activities on the planet!
p.s. DJ Tommy Tomcat is correct, I was having so much fun on the new Rollerblade Solo skates. If you saw Doubles battle that went down with me and Matt Luda against Ariel Surun and Richie Velasquez then you know whats up. Peep my blog for the update on the 50 mile skate from costa mesa to the LA all day event. Pictures and story coming soon!
Sean T whacks off to pictures of dogs. Rob G. my Solo Tribes should be here tommorow. Come to Phoenix and thrash up these concrete parks with me.
jk about the Sean thing….when he whacks off its to normal pictures, and not dogs.
but serious about Rob G, come skate Phoenix. Before it gets too hot.
