Volcom GPS Tranny Check
August 4, 2008 – 9:44 pm PT by MikeTags: Louie Lopez, Mark Appleyard, Volcom —
Just last week we informed you on how you can get your voyeur on and keep an eye on the Volcom team as they travel the vast lands of Southern California scouring all the hot trannies just waiting to be skated. Their first stops took place at Sunken City, Skate Lab, and the Culver City skate park. And if you paid attention, you would have been able to track them down by logging on to the Volcom Blog. With that kind of tracking power over people, you may now know what George Bush feels like. That’s terrific. Check out the Volcom update below to see what you’ve missed so far.
SUNDAY 8/3/08 UPDATE
The first day of the GPS tour was a great start. We started at Sunken City Skates in San Pedro. Brandon and Ricky just opened this store yesterday so we rolled by with our riders to check out the store, say wassup to the kids, skate the mini ramp in their store and give out promo to the kids.
After Sunken City we drove to Simi Valley to visit our friends at Skatelab. We had a good skate session and Mark Appleyard, Louie Lopez, Alain, Brandon Westgade, Nick Trapasso and Colin Provost skated hard for more than an hour.
The Volcom team headed over to skated the Culver City Skatepark until it was too dark to land any tricks. The park is pretty new and it has a bunch of steep quarterpipes and banks. A lot of local kids showed up to see this stop of the GPS So-Cal tour. Mark, Louie and Brandon were shredding the steep transitions with fs and bs noseblunts while Colin was working on his quarterpipe to 5 foot high axle stall.
