    Description:Omar is considered one of the best bowl skaters in the world because of his steadfast mindset, which also translates well to Big Air. After tearing his left MCL in July 2005, before X Games, Omar competed anyway, but didn't make it beyond the Selection Session. He's healed from the injury and finished 2005 as the #1 bowl skater on the WCS world ranking. A versatile skater, Omar has competed in every X Games discipline, except Street.On the Quiksilver.com team website, he is called, quot;the best thing that happened to pool skating.quot; And of that there is no doubt, especially if you look at his win at the 2004 Marseille Bowlriders contest and his 2nd place ranking on the WCS World Bowl tour. He also crosses the line and excels in vert, street and Big Air. Omar has competed in six previous X Games, in nearly every discipline. At XG 11, he'll be competing in Big Air.Omar is an incredibly versatile and aggressive skater with a very mellow attitude. He feels that it is important to be able to skate all types of terrain, therefore he competes in both Vert and Street at almost every contest. Although only qualified for Vert, his performance will be intense as he brings his street skills to the Vert ramp.
  • Finally! Bucky Wins At The Combi

    Bucky Lasek is the 2009 Pro-Tec Pool Party Champ, he finished ahead of Omar Hasson and Rune Glifberg, who did compete. It was rumored that Glifberg, a three-time event winner, would sit this year out due to a recent concussion. Well, Rune being the viking that he is skated anyway.

    Chris Miller won the Master's division for the fifth time, and Julie Kindstrand won in the Ladies division. Stay tuned for full story and behind-the-scenes coverage. Van Doren gave me a few too many drink tickets at the after-party, I'm still shaking it off.

  • North Shore Infested With Coping Killers

    Because of the bowl jam at the Cholos pool there are pro skaters all over the North Shore. The other day while on a beer run to Foodland, which this time of year is usually full of pro surfers, I ran into skate legends: Omar Hasson, Christian Hasoi and John Cardiel. All in like a five-minute span, and they didn't come together. I took a shot of Omar, who was eating lunch.

  • Cholos North Shore Bowl Jam

    Here's the surprise I promised you, the second Bowl Jam at Steve Cholos house. You may remember the one he had two years ago that was sponsored by Quiksilver and went huge. Well, this one was way more mellow, it was kind of a secret. Steve didn't want it to be such a huge event since it is his house and everything.

    Even though it was on the DL, some serious gnarsters showed up, guys like Omar Hasson, Christian Hasoi and Kalani David all got their slay on. It wasn't a contest, no money, no judges. Just the boys, and some girls, letting loose to the cheers of their crew.

    There was a grom session though, that was scored, but by the crowd. I will get to that in the next post because it deserves some recognition. Check ou the photo below of: Omar and a big air to fakie, who's says skaters don't get chicks, and the backyard.
