Last Thursday night, the folks at Skateboarder magazine threw the Sunset Rampage, a mini-ramp bash at the Sunset BLVD. staple, The Standard Hotel (pretend "Standard" is upside down like it is on the hotel sign). If you've never been, The Standard is a creative little "crash spot" right smack in the middle of the Sunset strip in Hollywood, complete with things like "giant hand" chairs and trippy bathrooms. And due to the locale it's also a pricey joint, which makes what Skateboarder successfully pulled so, as Mike Carroll would say "hyphy."

Speaking of Mike Carroll, the Girl skateboards boss was in attendance along with other skate industry bosses like: Lance Mountain, Sal Barbier, Eric Koston and "The Boss," Andrew Reynolds. Others in attendance were Kenny Anderson, Dylan Rieder, Curran Caples and Vincent Alvarez. Translation: Some serious ripping went down on the strip that night, even industry guys like Gravis TM, Mark Oblow, were getting in on the action.

In the end though, the youthful heavyweights of transition skateboarding prevailed:

1. Raven Tershey - $2,500
2. Andrew Langi - $1,500
3. Tom Remilard - $1,000
