The 11th Annual Transworld Skateboarding Awards will go down June 12th at the Avalon in Hollywood. The show is a who's who of skateboarding, with your favorite pros, industry people and entertainers presenting each award. It's like the Grammy's of our industry, just a little a dirtier, drunker and rowdier.
It's going to be cool to see Hasoi get the TWS Legend award, to have been through what he has, and be back slaying pools again, it's just such a remarkable story. Some other areas of interest are going to be: whether or not Silas Baxter-Neal will be able to back up his Thrasher Skater of the Year honors with a TWS Best Street award, the Readers' Choice award because "the people" that make up skateboarding decide it, and the Best Video award because with no Fully Flared hype-machine this year, it's not as obvious.
There will be a live video and photo blog kicking off at 6 pm PST click here to find out more. Also, stay tuned for GrindTV exclusives, because this the event is bound to go off! And the nominees are:
