Zumiez Couch Tour 2008 – Stop #3 Milipitas, CA
Sunday, October 4th, 2009
The Element guys are always down to support Couch Tour.
The Element demo was a mix of well respected veterans to guys like Collin Provost and Nyjah Huston who will help shape skateboarding’s future as well as destroy the present. Darrell Stanton had tech tricks with huge pop like a kickflip back lip and sticking kick flip front blunts. Nyjah had kick flip back tail to fakie, backside nose blunt and other crowd pleasers that further cemented his stature as a man-child prodigy. Collin had too many tricks to name (front feeble frontside 180 out) so check out the video edits for more. Brent Atchley, Chad Tim Tim, Mike Vallely, Vanessa Torres skated to the cheers of the crowd with their own unique styles too. They brought along some of their flow skaters too like Nick Garcia & Sebo Walker. Big thanks to the whole Element crew who also kicked down some prizes for the BFF skaters and signed autographs for the masses.
After Kandi Coded started hyping up the crowd with their fast and hard style, Scary Kids Scaring Kids performed to that same rowdy crowd who were kicking off their summer in memorable fashion. All in all, it was another great event and you were blowing it if you weren’t there.

The old Texas two-step finished up in Houston
We went a little overboard with the invites in NJ and ended up with over 30 entries, but we squeezed in everyone. Chris Mathis had the toughest tricks and the best style of the day. He did a nollie 50, nollie nosegrind, nollie nose slide, and front blunt to end up in 3rd place. 2nd went to Tim Fulton with creative lines and a smith to front feeble on the long flat bar to win the New Era Originator of the Day award. 1st place went to young Chris Anderson who landed crooks, back 5-0, Smith, back Smith, tail slide and tail fakie on the handrail and hubba, as well as a switch biggy on the pyramid and big fs air on the quarter.
