Head on over to The Mag for a sneak peak of the September issue with Indy Team Pro Leo Romero on the cover + 20 page interview + Debut Indy ad.

Rune takes the cover with a back tail slide over a death box out in Salba’s neighborhood. You need some 3D glasses to really check it out. Seems like alot of 3D hype going on. Its hard to look at the rest of the mag with the glasses on?

Made it up to LA to check out the X Games skatepark. No crowds and no contest. Just a practice session with Mountain, Hosoi, Hassan, Barros, Grosso, Rune, Bucky, Josh Borden and some others. The park was made for the contest out of concrete and skatelite. It even had some sort of visor/ wave design that was kind of limited but I’m sure it will look cool on t.v. Drinking beers skating the course, who would have imagined? Things will heat up more next week and along with the Xtreme crowds.

A big slam on this thing will do great for the ratings….
