this was so long ago. you have to admit some of these captions are a little more creative than the one that won
The fourth one (Elliott C) and the Terry Kennedy one made me laugh. Most of the others were dumb as hell. Personally I didn't think the winner's was too great either.
congrats!!!
Don't waste the shoes or board, put them to good use, congrads man
emericaskate.com is officially blowing it
yeah, i didnt think my caption was all too great either. i think all the captions sucked. but shit, i won and they sent me a lot more than just shoes and a skateboard, emerica hooked it up with product, EMERICA 4 LIFE FOOLS!
