The Skate & Create II party went off smoothly last night at Hensley's Flying Elephant Pub. After the packed house feasted its eyes on DVS, C1RCA, etnies, and DC's videos, the MVPs for each team were announced. Then Skin and Neil Heddings pulled out the oversized cover of Sean Malto and confirmed that etnies was the winner. Congrats to every team involved for making amazing videos, which you'll be able to see on skateboarding.transworld.net starting Monday. The issue with the photos is in the mail to subscribers now and will hit newsstands in early September. For now, enjoy the party photos.
Free PBR tall cans, delicious buffet, and the Sk8mafia—can't start a night better.
