so heres breaking news, Rick Thorne, cancelled his tour and contest so that wont be going down tomorrow at 3rd lair.

big contest in chicago area, timmy the destroyer emailed me wondering if i was coming, but im not. i think many 3rd lair groms are going thou, photos to come of that hopefully.

check out the slide show for new photos of the convention center demo, during the ski and snowboard expo, that we did two weeks ago, these photos are all taken by pro bmx ripper, AJ "ironman" haines. that guy shreds on the steel chariot, check him out.

thats it for now, waiting for spring time. set sail with the trog army.

AND IT STARTS!!!

2009-11-18T21:15:00.000-08:00

this is going to be short im flippin tired. just a day from Ramville, cut 100 templates, thats 400 passes with the saw, just building a super structure. anyway, did that during the light hours, then brought some ram with the army, training for greatness, remember kids, land or slam, you all should be learning one new trick or steping up your tricks every session, no excuses. you dont know how easy a trick is until you try that is why its called "hard". cause you havent tried yet, once you take that one slam, its on, land or slam. then after all that, the most epic otc bowl session went down, new tricks by all, and just full on BONEYARD session. great times, today was the start of something amazing. BRING THE RAM in 2010. thats it, love it, you all have a good night.

KoTGs STOP #3 MPLS

2009-10-27T09:21:00.000-07:00

yeah soldiers, the groms have come and gone by now. what a wild weekend. starting wensday night with max jensen smashing his face in the shallow corner, rammin it all the way thru to the epic expert street course finals. this was the raddest KoTGs i have witnessed. the quality of riding gets better every year. so as we all know Jon JR. walked away with another win in mpls, he is the local grom street assassin, he did what he had to do and made all his tricks stick, the whole pack was riding top notch, but only one could come out on top, congradulations, and at ease soldier.

ok, so the pool party was fun, um i just checked my jeans, they are still soaking wet, thx aardvark for making me take a premature bath. so you won that battle boys, round 2 will be mine. we will have to start the video, WHEN GROMS ATTACK!!! should be fun.

trog army recuited a couple new soldiers this weekend all from illinois i believe, youngest to oldest, 7 year old riley vaughn, 9 year old tiny tim the destroyer, kiennan garrity, 10 year old ethan seaholm and i think hes 10 or 11, his riding looks like hes 16, none other than joe "juice" millazzo. welcome aboard soldiers.

new trog army stickers will be in tommorrow heres what they look like. ill be back soon with more updates, of course check out your king of the groms website, KoTGs

GENERAL LEECH!!!!!!!!!!

2009-10-05T18:19:00.000-07:00

thats right, so after LOCKGNAR played, we had best trick jam over the pool ladder, and shlitz got pretty EPIC, first you have to carve full speed around the bowl and ollie the ladder in the deep. im talking to at the time lt. leech, hes staring it down, and he goes for it. no more than five trys later hes riding away, i have the pictures to prove it, and i told him. "Leech if you land this, you a going to be a general" so show some respect to the new general in the army.

i have to say yesterday was tons of fun, perfect amount of riders, live music and if you missed the night skating session, well i wont make you feel bad...

theres a couple people out there that made this contest what it was, i have to show some major love to Troy Mozey, my partner in crime on the trophy making, general Kris Markovich of Given Skateboards, soldiers Kris is doing it for the right reasons, support the good companies out there, buy GIVEN...its a given. next Jozef Evers from Vox Footwear for hooking up some rad VOX prizes. and showing up at 845 just to hang out for a night. we RAM"D IT DOWN big time. mild Bil Heart, for kickin down a rippin heart skateboard prototype deck and custom trog army grip tape. UM, big thanks to Wild Bill Welk for bringing out the pool ladder, your the man. Also, the best damn bowl jam band in the world LOCKGNAR, for bringing the ram during the best trick and night session, if you missed the show under the full moon, you kicking your self today. Another shout out goes to Mulla, MROD and Matt for letting me throw the event at the best park ive rode, we are all fortunate that there is a place like 3rd Lair for us to hang out and shred any time of year. and you guys,the soldiers, thank you for showing your support in the Trog Army, i hope we can ride this wave forever, keeping it DO IT YOURSELF , NO MERCY, NO LIMIT SKATEBOARDING, BRING THE RAM!!, and stay tuned for part 2 and 3 of the BACK TO THE BOWL BASH series....TBA

HEY EVERYONE, WELL AFTER THE MELEE IT WAS OFF TO THE STATE FAIR TO BUILD THE STREET COURSE OUT THERE. CHECK THE SLIDESHOW ON THE LEFT THERE. ALSO AT THE SAME TIME THE BOYS AND I HAVE BEEN TAKING DOWN RENEGADE SKATEPARK IN FARIBAULT. THAT IS JUST ABOUT DONE AND THAT WILL BE THE NEW VERT RAMP AT HEADQUARTERS.

SO IVE BEEN THINKING OF PUSHING BACK THE BOWL CONTEST. FROM 999 TO SOME DATE IN OCTOBER. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT IS 2 DAYS AFTER THE FAIR. AND I WANT TO DO SOME SERIOUS PIMPIN OF THE BOWL BEFORE THE CONTEST. STAY TUNED FOR FLIERS AND THE OFFICAL DATE.

999 I THINK SHOULD BE A SESSION TO PROMOTE THE CONTEST. 999 JAM STILL ON FOR SEPTEMBER 09 2009 6-9PM. ILL BUST OUT THE LIGHTS. 3RD LAIR BACKYARD BOWL. THE BOOMERANG.

MELEE FINISHED!

2009-08-09T18:07:00.000-07:00

So the melee is all over said and done, since i have been working long and hard all summer long it doesnt feel like all the events are over. the melee marks the end of summer series and most of the demos and events that we do. all ready i have been working on the state fair, and thats next on my schedule. i spend a month of my life every year at the great Minnesota get together, still i rarely get to the midway or the animal exhibits or the new international bizzare. maybe this year will be diffrent. doubt it though. so Trog Army events to come... sound off if you would like to go see Lynard Skynard, or like i said at summer series in Shakopee, checking out Valley Scare at Valley Fair. so send a comment if you would be interested in these get toghethers, if so i will work out the tickets and organizing. As of right now the "Back to the Bowl" skate jam is still on for 999. thats September Ninth Two-Thousand Nine. 999. so far Vox footwear and Given Skateboards are sponsering the event should be good. oh yeah here is the ramsey quarterpipe, i want to do a session here this fall. what do you think. ram it down, great shredding this weekend everyone, check out the slideshow on the right.

the General.
