After the "Chlorine" party, everyone stumbled down the street to Dano's for the Pro-Tec, Juice Magazine, Billabong Soul Bowl after party. Everyone was celebrating properly including the masters of partying Daggers, Scum, FCR, Oregon posse, the HB cartel, and the Hermosa posse. Pictured below: Lady Daggers, Dave Duncan and Ed Reategui, E.R. and Ben Schroeder, Z-boys.com's Brad Ellman and the one and only John O'Shei, Weeman, Nicole Zuck and Brian Patch, Jeremiah Risk and Jimmy The Greek, Dan Levy and Shafreeka, and our host for the evening's festivities, Jeff Patch. Thanks for a great party.

We're in the Juice office working on the website before leaving for the Soul Bowl on Saturday and we hear this roar of screams coming in the window from the boardwalk... Dan took off with the camera to investigate and this is what he found. LA's Sexiest Erotica Contest was set up right in our front yard. Heidi Fleiss and Ron Jeremy among others played host and the Venice locals got a good look... Pictured below: Heidi Fleiss judges... backside and frontside... And yes, that's Bulldog Skate's Jereme "Stoney" Schadler with Ron Jeremy... and the sexy ladies... Ya gotta love LA...

On the flipside - Chris Mearkle just keeps building and building, ramp after ramp, city after city, beer after beer. You can always count on a 5.9%er to keep skateboarding alive and high.

If you don't like your local skatepark then build your own terrain. Maybe something that's around 11.5 deep with marble pool coping and the death rollover like 37's skate-oasis. Go to www.negativeion.com for more.

The Marseille Quiksilver Bowlriders contest went on as usual, with of course Omar Hassan 1st, Tony Trujillo 2nd and some rad Spaniard 3rd. I thought Brian Patch got ripped off in the worst possible way. He gave everything he had and so did Benji Galloway of South Carolina who even managed to cut his eyebrow open. Lots of blood this year. I was happy cuz I met a bunch of legends like Bryce Kanights who was really cool, Alva who was really drunk and Natas who was really nice as well as a lot of pros. They even had a legends session. Highlights: T.A. punching out some guy and being his usual rock star self. Lots of women and drunkenness with Duncan, who looks like Elvis on a board. Trujillo hell bent, got the crowd and the girls on their knees. They put up a 6' vert wall to make things harder and we saw some hard stuff (airs, frontside rocks etc.) It started to rain during the finals but stopped, and as soon as the contest was finished it poured down again, talk about good timing. Free Fosters beer again, and this time refrigerated. Alex Chalmers took the price for the ugliest hairdo. He looked like a 70's tennis player. My favourites were Chris Senn who is a cat on wheels, Patch rock solid everywhere, few bails, Trujillo just crazy but I think the partying took its toll on him. Chalmers did his mega-transfer from the teardrop across the whole thing. I thought the riders looked a bit tired during the finals, lots of bails. I think the contest is less crazy year after year. Lots of guys were missing, and there was a big level difference between the top 8 guys and the rest of the pack. Still, it was the best skating I've seen in a while. Alan Petersen tore a muscle so he was on crutches. Anyway, this thing must be hell to judge. Ok, that's it. Too bad Brewce Martin was missing, lots of people were waiting for his gold balls. Later, Jean Terrisse. [Juice Magazine - France]
