X-Games Pictures

It's a little risky getting my video camera into the work area with a ton of people around, not that anyone is a thief, but I'm sure there is at least one in the bunch.

So, I've been taking pictures and that last video above, with my cell phone. It works.

This summed up my Monday morning, we got to Home Depot Center at 8am...did nothing until 11am (ate lunch) then went to Staples Center at 12pm, and do nothing until 3pm, to come back to Home Depot Center to set up and connect signs on the skate park from 3pm to 4pm, then we ate lunch at 4pm and went home at 5pm. Most boring day of work ever.

Espn has this giant cylinder that has LEDs and sensors, as the riders fly up the huge "Big Air" ramp at Staples Center, their height is shown on this screen, recording their score, way cool.


The big red thing is a grind rail, for the Big Air Rail Jam. Someone had a great idea to put a grind rail on the landing spot off the ramp to bridge the 40 foot gap. Now I know these dudes are crazy

Better look at that grind rail for the Big Air Rail Jam
TV Triax cable being run in the air.
Of course I would take a picture of the TV Truck. Fuck Off.
Here is first here Gary, "David Beckham is the best footballer in the world" haha, not...

Vert Ramp at Home Depot Center down in the Tennis Court area.


Those X-Gamers will ride down that far ramp in the corner that goes about 150 feet up, for the Big Air stuff.
This is where they jump at Big Air.
This is where they land before that jump.
The Lakers play here too...and the WNBA, but who cares.
Vert Ramp, from the landing spot.

Skate Park logo down on the concrete, hand painted, everything on the ramps is hand painted, sick skills.

"Dunn nu nu Dunn nu nu" That's ESPN, you jackasses.

Aka. a death-trap.



This is not a photoshop.



At the skate park...but it doesn't face the side to the stands...interesting...

The Moto-X and Rally area, first day of the dirt being built up.
