World premiere is Jan. 21st. Check out official trailer below and wish these boys luck to get this flick International: Lasek And Caballero Shine In The KombiFor the sixth year the Pro-Tec Pool Party has come and gone at the Kombi bowl in the Vans Skatepark at the Block at Orange, and for the second time Bucky Lasek brought home first place in the Pro division. In what is possibly bigger news, for the first time in the history of the contest Chris Miller did not win the Masters division. His five year streak came to an end when skate legend, Steve Caballero, bowled his way to victory. ![]() For the few years of this contest Rune Glifberg and Chris Miller had been dominant with Glifberg winning three, and Chris Miller winning five, but that all changed on a sunny Saturday at a mall in Southern California. Caballero was able to tap into what made him one of the best skateboarders of the 80s, and in the process ended Miller's streak. In the Pro division everyone knew the winner was going to be one of three guys: Bucky Laksek, Rune Glifberg or Omar Hassan. The later two being your quintessential pool skater, relying on "the way your supposed to skate a pool," and that's where Lasek steps in. He is the reigning Dew Tour Vert Champion, and has brought a new twist to the world of bowls. He links all the inverted spins that have become a necessity in the world of vert into flawless pool runs. He throws down the tech stuff that gets the old guys pumped, then goes huge to get the crowd pumped. That's what he did on Saturday, which climaxed when he did a gay twist from pool to pool, which sounds weird but believe me, it was heavy. Here's list of the full results: Full Results: Masters 1. Steve Caballero (San Jose, CA) $13,000 2. Chris Miller (Del Mar, CA) $7,000 3. Lance Mountain (Alhambra, CA) $4,000 Pros 1. Bucky Lasek (Baltimore, MD)$30,000 2. Rune Glifberg (Copenhagen, DEN)$18,000 3. Omar Hassan (Costa Mesa, CA) $10,000 Here's some photos from the day: ![]() ![]() Rune gets his Madonna on. ![]() Channels: Skate The 6th Annual Pro-Tec Pool PartyThe most prestigious pool contest in skateboarding, the Pro-Tec Pool Party, is back again this Saturday at the Kombi bowl at the Vans skatepark in Orange, CA. When it comes to skating concrete transition anyone who is, or who ever has been someone, will be there this weekend. From the legends who compete in the Masters division, to the current big names who will skate in the Pro division, and even to the ladies who compete in the Girls division. ![]() In the Masters the big question is, can Chris Miller win again? The guy has won it all five years the contest has gone down. He has just such a smooth style that is about as good as it gets when it comes to the skaters who have been in it for the long haul. Don't think just because he wins every year he has no competition, pool legends like: Christian Hosoi, Steve Caballero and Lance Mountain have given him a run for his money, and certainly will again this year. The question in the Pro division is, can Rune Glifberg get back to his winning ways in this contest? When it comes to skating a pool, many call Glifberg the best, and he's walked away with first place at this contest three times. The only two who have been able to best him are Bucky Lasek and Omar Hassan. Lasek who had skated amazingly at The Pool Party for years, but just always seemed one step behind Glifberg was finally able to take first last year. Although, that does bring up another question. Rune Glifberg had suffered a concussion a few days before the contest in 09', and didn't seem to be all there during his heats. That said, will Lasek be able to finish ahead of a healthy Glifberg? Also, Bob Burnquist will be looming, and new transition sensation and 2009 Maloof Money Cup Vert champion, Alex Perelson. We'll see what happens on Saturday, to watch live click here. Here's a list of the heats and a video to hold you over: MASTERS HEAT #1: Chris Miller (2009 Champion) Steve Steadham Christian Hosoi Tony Mag Mike Smith Mike Barnes Mark Partain MASTERS HEAT #2: Lance Mountain Mike McGill Jeff Grosso Lester Kasai Dave Reul Lonnie Hiramoto lerroMASTERS HEAT #3: Steve Alba Josh Nelson Nicky Guerrero Ken Fillion Mike Rogers Eric Nash Dave Duncan MASTERS HEAT #4: Pat Ngoho Duane Peters Ben Schroeder Mark Red Scott Brian Pennington Eddie Reategui PRO HEAT #1: Bruno Passos Tim Johnson Lincoln Ueda Josh Rodriguez Pedro Barros Zack Miller Bob Burnquist PRO HEAT #2: Jimmy the Greek Rob Lorifice Matt Boyster Evandro Menezes Ben Raybourne Nolan Munroe Grant Taylor PRO HEAT #3: Nathan Beck Tyler Mumma Bucky Lasek (2009 Champion) Rune Glifberg Jackson Pilz Bennett Harada Omar Hassan PRO HEAT #4: Darren Navarette Darin Jenkins Alex Perelson Sky Siljeg Josh Borden Sergie Ventura Michael Brookman Channels: Skate X Games 15: "Love and Guts" Art ShowIts that time of year again.....
