Medford Mayhem 4! Bowl Results!

This last Saturday went off. The word must have spread about the cash money awards because there were crowds for days. The bowl party started first and the slaughter began. There were about fifteen competitors who made it. Over forties, Girl rippers, 7 year olds and everything in between were in presence for the bowl shralping. Tricks went down. Way to many to mention.
There were people dodging each other left and right and it was just insane. Posted are some pictures of the bowl contest...

And here are the results!
1. Tyler Albright $300.00
2. Jason Garza $200.00
3. Noah Phillips $100.00

The day went on and all the results from the park contest will be posted next. Also our in house filmer Carlos Craig will be making a sick flick of the contest soon so watch out for that as well! So be sure to check the blog because all the other results and pics will be posted real soon!

Johnny Turgesen Interview.

From Day one Johnny has been killing it on a skateboard. Growing up in Southern Oregon probably has to do with it a lot. We've been lucky to have Johnny on the team for awhile, 9 years to be exact. (ask Rita she has the original Jacks Board House team member sign ups from '01 which also includes Steven Reeves.) I caught up with him for interview with him before he left on the road for Bacon Skateboards new movie, "Unheard." They are traveling threw the good ol' mid-west premiering there video and doing demos for the month. Check out all that info on Bacon Skateboards website. To the INTERVIEW:

J.B.H: Hey whats up Johnny!, Still driking them Camo Cans?

JT:I think those days are over. It's all about STACK now. Go check it out at your local penny saver market.

J.B.H.:Worst skate spot you've been to?

JT:The parking lot next to the 5823 house.

J.B.H.: Whats in your MP3 device right now?

JT: Wilson Pickett

J.B.H: I want to know know exactly how many boards you've skated.

JT:I couldn't even tell you. I feel like I'm throwing them through a wood chipper.

J.B.H. Everyone wants to know how you got your name Mudbutt.

JT:Shit piss out my ass.

J.B.H.:Ever bought anything off ebay?

JT:I'm more of an Amazon.com/Craigslist kind of guy.

J.B.H.: Any big plans this spring?

JT:Raise Hell 3! Learn it...know it....Live it.

J.B.H:Shout Outs?

JT:Everyone knows if it wasn't for Rita and everyone at Jack's board house nobody would be where they are today. And thanks Mom and Pops

Thanks Johnny. Keep killing it.

Check out Johnny's new part in UnHeard. All that can be scoped at Bacon Skateboards.com.

Just a reminder....

This saturday at the Medford Skatepark. $600.00 up for grab. Rumor has it if Grants Pass Matt wins its going into some DIY.....plus possible beanie clan sightings? Also come hungry cause we goot the BBKrew! See ya'll there!

Matts Bowl DIY Project

Whats wrong with a little bit of hard work before a skate session? All it takes is about 6 braces, 12 guys (on-time), and just a little bridge over the shallow end. Though everybody was pretty sketchy about the lifting it went down. A nice crew from, Scum Skateboards(Daryn), Larry Martin and some other GP shralpers, Rita and the Jacks Board House crew, (snax, bean, and friends.), new skateshop owners from GP (thanks for all the beverages!), some random guy from the bar and GPMK himself. It was a stressful 20 minutes moving the shed but it was muscled over. There was a nice crack heard in the middle of walking over the makeshift bridge but it had to be moved.
After the shed move the session and eatin' was on. One trip to the local grocery store for BBQ supplies (Thanks Rita!) and some brews we went back to Matts, fired up the BBQ, and skating started going down. Snax killed it, Bean tried 540's, Noah was going for frontside inverts and miller flips and GPMK grinded hard, real hard. The party rolled on with more trips to the beer store, listening to old records and good times.
Matts plan is to do some more DIY stuff going in where the shed was taken out. An escalator, a bank, gnarly pocket, 6 foot walls and a concrete doorway. He says its a work in progress but hopes to get a few donations to help him out. Matts Bowl has been a destination spot for Southern Oregon and pros rolling threw. Thats why he is wanting to build more to put Southern Oregon on the map. Word on the street is there is going to be a fundraiser to get money to put more crete in. We will posting any events going down at Matts Bowl so keep checking up to see whats going down around here in Southern Oregon! Thanks Matt for the good times and next time we'll try to be on time....

We are going to be following Sals International Gettin it Tour till he gets back. He will be sending us pics of skate spots, partying and back smiths for sure and we'll be posting them up.
