Saturday in San Francisco was the fourth Annual IcerAir Event. Under sunny skies both Skiers and Snowboarder’s would do battle on the Giant hip jump that was constructed in the Parking lot of AT&T Park where the San Francisco Giants play.

The venue was much different then in years before. This year in place of the scaffolding and giant kicker would be a Catapult launch. The athletes would grab onto a rope that at the end of an old three two one would accelerate them towards the hip jump where they would let go and bust there trick.

It was obvious the skiers were having an easier go of it then the boarders. They decided in the long run to make the day an exhibition and split the prize money with everyone. They still awarded a first second and third. Skullcandy’s own Tanner Rainville just missed the win taking second overall.

Also the Skullcandy booth was cranking as usual with plenty of schwag being given out to all the kids. Want to send a special thank you to the crew that came out from PC Ben, Charlie and Lucas for being on point throughout the whole day. 

I personally feel they need to bring back the formula that worked in the past in order for this event to be a success. Scaffolding, Good inrun and landing make for a good fair event. Changing the format literally days before the event will probably wasn’t the best thing to have had happened. Regardless our riders took up the challenge and represented. 

To finish up the day 3oh!3 and the Kool Kids played a crazy show.  See exclusive interview footage with 3oh!3 on Skullcandy TV.

Our athletes held it down…PLG ended up with another Vert win and ended up as the Overall DEW CUP CHAMP!  Greg Lutzka had another solid finish on the podium and ended up in 3rd in Street!  Check the highlight videos and stay tuned for more!

SKULLCANDY FMX Rider ADAM JONES rode away with the win in Orlando and ended up the season as the overall Dew Cup Champion and will be taking home some serious loot!  Joining Adam on the podium was JEREMY LUSK with another 3rd and MIKE MASON had another solid finish in 6th, after continually getting hosed all season from the judges and did not get a fair shake all year…whatever!  Well done kids!

The Final stop on the AST DEW TOUR wrapped up this past weekend and SKULLCANDY threw a party with our friends from Monster and Liquid Force at the Dragon Room in Downtown Orlando.  The party went off and was the spot to be on Saturday Night.  Thanks to Ketel One, Jose Cuervo and Ricky for providing the endless spirits all night.  

We love Bithlo…one of the best cities around!  Thanks for the support Bithlo!

Skullcandy headed to a very honorable event to support DJ AM and Travis Barker. ALL the proceeds from the night went to the surviving family members of the victims that were on the plane crash that DJ AM and Travis Barker miraculously survived.

10th Annual Tim Brauch Memorial Contest Wrap Up

A big shout out to our Skullcandy Legends riders for killin it!  

Scotts Valley, CA, September 30, 2008- This year’s 10th Annual Tim Brauch Memorial Contest took place this past weekend and was definitely the most memorable event to date. Friends, family, and local skaters all came out this past Saturday and Sunday in memory of Tim Brauch, who was and is one of the most respected skaters of all time. Tim’s great talent and willingness to help local youth in skateboarding is what has kept this contest going for 10 years and that is why the leaders of skateboarding came to compete in this great contest. 

Saturday, September 27 street contest that was held at the Scotts Valley Skate Park built in memory of Tim Brauch through the Tim Brauch Memorial Fund was a huge success with 35 groms and 82 ams entries all of which skated to the music of DJ D’Funkt. Sessions held 2 raffle drawings each day of the contest that included prizes from Skullcandy, Vans, Zune, Dakine, Dragon, Consolidated, Dwindle, Thrasher, Bones, Foundation, Nixon, Crucible and many more. Press including Fuel TV were on sight to catch all the action at this years contest including Best Trick made Blake Svendsen which got him hooked up with a $250.00 Wahoo’s Fish Tacos Gift Certificate.
