King of the Groms 2009/2010
It came and it went, and it was amazing. The level of skating gets better and better every year. I cannot figure out where these kids come from.
The groms came from as close as down the road to as far away as Hawaii. The judges saw everything from beginner boardslides to BS 540s on transition. Steezy grabs and tweaked
ollies were the name of the game. Eamon, Zion, and Ethan had the grabs I can only dream of. Austin owned kickflips better than any 12 year old on the planet. Clint did tre flips far beyond his time. And Tyler T. is surely going to be a tech guru before too much longer.
Big congrats to the Progressive Skatepark Advanced Number 1 Qualifier: WILLIAM PENNIMAN.
After taking a crazy slam in his first run of the finals, he returned for an incredible third run. He packed in about a dozen different tricks in a one minute span including a handful of big bangers like an ollie over the Johns rail and a smith down the euro. The crowd went crazy. The judges went crazy. And, most importantly, William went crazy when he was announced the winner.

1031 Demo - Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Finally, after what seems like forever, it is time for a demo. As always, the best bet will be to get here early as you can in case the floor sells out. I say this because you should be able to skate with all the guys just about the whole time! It will be FREE to watch, and session prices will be the same as usual:
2:30 - 6:00 - $6
6:00 - 9:00 - $8
ALL DAY - $13
Expected in attendance are Donovan Rice, Dan Nepscha, Brian Kennedy, Greg Harbour, Ben Raybourn, Chad Knight, Bill Danforth, and Kristian Svitak. There should also be a handful of their flow riders, too.
Check out their site HERE.

RVCA DEMO - MARCH 24
That's right. Leo Romero, Cairo Foster, Austin Stephens, Keegan Sauder, Julian Davidson, Cory Kennedy, Donovon Piscopo and maybe some stragglers. This is a short, exclusive tour, and from what I can tell, this is not a demo you want to miss.
For the names you don't recognize, start YOUTUBEing, and you'll understand why you need to be here.
As always, it will be free to watch, and normal prices to skate. Immediately following the demo will be an autograph signing. Put this on your calendar now!

PROGRESSIVE DEMO - MARCH 27
This is something we have never officially done, but it is definitely time to make it happen. We will have EVERY team member here. A lot of people will argue that the team guys can skate the park better than most pros, and we are ready to show you that. Considering the victory at Bangers for Bucks deemed Progressive the top team on the east coast, you can rest assured that this will be a good show. Also, we will need filmers and photographers for the event, so be sure to bring your equipment. More details to come.
Demo Starts at 7:00
