Its that time of year again..... ESPN X Games 15 will be held in Los Angeles at the Staples Center and the Home Dept Center, Thursday July 30th to Sunday Aug. 2nd. All the Usual Supects will be there: P-Rod, Sheckler, Bob Burnquist, Danny Way, Dave Mirra, Daniel Dhers, Garrett Reynolds, Mat Rebeaud, Travis Pastrana, Nate Adams and Robbie Maddison, just to name a few. This one is sure to be packed and explosive. Personally I can't wait to see Chaz Ortiz blow them away in street. At only 15 this kid RIPS but be sure the "old timers" aren't gonna give it all up without a fight and show that lil whippersnapper whats up. Besides all the action that will be happening over the course of the event, there is also X Fest which features Live Music, interactive parks, athlete appearances and Demos autograph signing sessions, and TONS of giveaways. Industry booths will also be there for a place to spend your dolla on surf, skate, BMX and MOTO gear.
But for me I am stoked to check out "Love and Guts" which is a skateboarder influenced Art Show, First Originating in '05 at the ASR trade Show in San Diego, with artists and athletes Steve Olson, Lance Mountain and Pat Ngoho . This movement features everything from graffiti to digital art, from paint to sculpture. Their purpose is to focus on what's current and to promote work that Is "too edgy" and "unconventional". SO not only can these guys Shred they have an artistic side too. SEXY! Be Sure and check that out Sat AUG.1st, you just might see any one of these guys.....Featuring work from
