SIA Day Two: Slanging Gear, Rodents, and the Rider’s Poll
Posted January 29th, 2009 by Lance Michael HakkerBig Mountain Mike and Stever (former bassist of Guttermouth) from Burton.
Justin Meyer jazzed Bob up.
JP Tomich, back in the day I saw JP do so many perfect switch backside nines that I wasn’t even impressed anymore. Yeah, I know, pretty cool.
Cool story. Think Thank’s new movie.
Jesse Burtner and Zac Marben holding down our booth.
Bigs and a gangsterous Matt Davis.
Gus Engle had to walk away from the cuteness of the Skeleton Crew.
Peter Benchetler, Big Mountain Mike, and Ricky Tucker. Ricky is filming with People this year, he’s completely amazing at snowboarding. So yeah, look out for that.
Fools checking out the new Videograss teaser.
Nima and Stephen Duke catching up.
Eric Fernandez and Comune’s Chris Thomas.
Ragdoll and Corey Smith.
Mikey Leblanc, Nima Jalali, and Justin Meyer.
I know. It’s blurry. But look at all the youth in the photo. Tyler Verigan, Ben Rice, Harrison Gordon, Desiree Melancon, Nick Dirks, and Nick Lipton upon their arrival.
Party at the Ashbury booth, woohoo!
Videograss’ Jan Snarski and Desiree Melancon.
Nick showing Louie Paradise some text messages from LNP, apparently Laurent got a new tattoo.
I know what you’re thinking.. and trust me, I was thinking the same thing. One of those Rabbit’s feet would look real nice on my key chain.
Desiree all done up for the Transworld Rider’s Poll Awards. She was up for Reader’s Choice and Louie Paradise was up for Rookie of the year.
Transworld art department, Dustin and John. They’ll kill you!
Dustin, John, Ben, and Tom (T-Boarder).
I’m much much taller than Jonas Michilot and Louie Paradise.

Big Mountain Mike, his son Jonas, and his step-son Tyler Verigan.
Mac Spedale and I blogging each other.
Eric and his friend.
Tyler, Desiree, and Nick.
Joe Carlino and Bigs.
Gabbi and Scott Stevens.
Jon Kooley and a fresh looking K2 team manager, Kevin Winkel. Be sure to hit him up. He’ll sponsor you 100% for sure. No doubt about it. (I’m actually tempted to post his email here. That would be funny).
Robbie Sell and Will Tuddenham.
Chris Beresford had an accident.
But then he got a photo with Jamie Lynn.
Liam Gallagher from afar at the bar.
Dang son.
Dinosaurs Will Die’s Sean Genovese and Elm’s Alex Karayan.
Austin Smith, Pat Bridges, Matt Sickels, Evan LeFebvre, and John Cavan. John Cavan is Rome’s TM, he’ll definitely sponsor you too. Make sure you send him your sponsor me tape within the week.
Austin Smith and Chicken entertaining.
