Goofy Figgy meets Mr. Hubba.

Bad Religion played at a giant party in the parking lot on Saturday night.

The crowd was swollen.

Yo! David Loy my boy. Fast frontside 180 to switch 50-50 on the couch.

Braydon was in the mix.

The local high school marching band played some AC/DC and Metallica songs.

Mr. Popular signs a few autographs.

Congratulations to team Regular, who took home bragging rights, and a 3-2 lead with their win in fifth annual Goofy vs. Regular contest. Looks like the Goofy team will have to wait for another chance to redeem their stance. At the close of the Finals, the scores of the Regular and Goofy teams were within 25 points, which according to the rules is considered a tie, so the event went into an overtime Game of SKATE.

Regular Team Capitan Mark Whiteley selected Chris Cole and Andrew Langi to represent his team in the tie-breaker. Dave Swift, Goofy Team Capitan, selected Justin Figueroa and Tyler Hendley to represent his stance on the double set and hubbas.

The final debate was incredibly close. After Regulars Chris Cole and Andrew Langi went back and forth in the Game of SKATE with Goofies Justin Figueroa and Tyler Hendley many times, the winner was still undecided. Team Goofy had SKAT and the Regular footers had SKA until Chris Cole led the Regulars to victory with a backside ollie 360 down the double set.
