PHAT AIR SUCCESS!!
Wow, what a weekend...Friday night was rockin at Chico's as everyone was getting pumped for the big day. Then, Saturday the skies cleared giving us one of the best days ever. The always dependable jump-building team of Kaname, Yoshi,Yuya, and Red had been working on the jump park for 2 weeks and after a bit of a clean-up, we were ready to go. A group of 25-30 showed up and displayed some huge airs, crashes, even a couple of backflips were thrown out there. The event was held in dedication to Chico aka Jess Ripper as he had to tough it out at home for this year's event. Everyone threw it a bit harder knowing Chico would've been cranking out some nasty tricks, or crashes at least! The B-B-Q, tunes, and cave kept everyone rockin throughout the day and the 2007 Phat Air was a huge success, thanks to all who showed up, helped out, then partied until the early mornin'!! Also, thanks to DJ JJ and krew for the sweet tunes and to Shoji from Dohoku Shinkou for the 9000yen donation for the jan-ken comp. Here are a few of the results of the comp, along with some photos.
