This year Embassy was STOKED to be a part of the festivities. First Big props goes to Brent Humphreys and Project Loop for bringing in the Skate/BMX to the FFFFest. The place was rad, Speerco Skateparks put the playground together, with a nice Mini-ramp with a few extentions, a killer Wave vert hollowed out extention caught everyones attention. The art was total Tim Kerr style (Thanks Tim, for suggesting our presence). The challenge was getting everyone together. Most of the Texas crew came out to represent, GIBSON, JOHNSON as in CRAIG, JOHNSON as in Ben ( as in Eggs to Fakie), PRINCE as in TODD, FILLION, CHASON showed up when PETERSON refused to hitch hike to Austin. ANGRY ANDY stumbled in on who knows who’s pass on the guest list and a Motley Crew of others, but I was mostly STOKED on how COLLIN GRAHAM handled himself. The kid from Windsor Woods in Virginia Beach took no prisoners. He killed it EVERY session!!!A couple Rock Star Energy’s and some 99 cent taco’s, there’s no jet lag here!! The Vert Demo was insane with Sergie Ventura, PLG, Elliot Sloan, the Entropy crew, Matt Hoffman’s crew ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! Those dudes are WHACKED!! It was a killer time, 3 days of FUN FUN FUN!! Todd almost got in the ring during the ANARCHY WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS, but security stopped him!! You had to be there. the Music had an insane line-up from Snoop Dogg to Cro-mags, to FLAG, DESCENDENTS, MISFITS, SUB HUMANS, ICE-T, BODY COUNT, the list goes for days…THREE DAYS!!!All topped off with SLAYER on a brisky Sunday night at Auditorium Shores in Austin.. Alot of cool Shit went down on the mini ramp, Raney, Reeves, Cody, Ben, Collin, Will, Mike Kelly, Hollywood, and a slew of others invaded the playground, as they served up “Eggs to Fakie”, “One footed Sad Plants” Everybody had to do a “Tex Plant” during one of the sessions, at one point it looked like the TEXAS DEATH MATCH. Next year promises to be Bigger and Better!!! Below are a few pics. Remember the code, WHAT HAPPENS IN AUSTIN, STAYS IN AUSTIN!!! Thats all I can really say about it!!! Save the date next year!!Remember the Alamo!!!

Big TEXAS high 5’s go out to Brent Humphreys and Project Loop for putting on the whole Skate Demo. None of the events would have happened without them!!! TEXAS IS THE REASON!!!
