The Zumiez Couch Tour 2008 have had some pretty insane demos so far, but none like the one that the Volcom team killed in Utah. Mark Appleyard landed a giant bs flip to bs disaster, nollie big spin back tail stall as well as a smooth nollie bs flip a tre flips that he caught perfectly. Jake Duncombe went bs nose blunt crazy over the gap to rail and the hubba ledge. Darrell Stanton had kick flip to front board and to back lip, and also a front blunt to fakie. Caswell Berry had a fs hurricane and a tre flip lip. Young Filipe Ortiz had a huge fs flip, a kick flip krook, and a kick flip board slide to fakie. Aaron Suski did the smoothest tail slide to bs revert. Danny Cerezini had a nollie nose blunt on the rail and a nollie front foot flip. Then the Volcom crew signed for the fans.
The BFF contest had some insane talent that killed the new Zumiez Couch Tour street course. They were rushed a little due to the impending rains coming in, but were digging the cooling winds. Christian Sereika took 1st, Ryan Coleman 2nd and Tyson Bowerbank 3rd respectively. Christian also took home the New Era Originator of the day with his combination of flip, rail/ledge and tranny skills. The storm clouds didn’t stop everyone from hanging out for Kandi Coded and Year Long Disaster as the intimidated the rains into passing through real quickly.

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.

About two weeks ago our newest Volcom am, 12-year-old Louie Lopez showed up at the private indoor Volcom skatepark with Collin Provost and Volcom pros Darrell Stanton and Ryan Sheckler. The four of them spent the evening shooting some photos and having fun in the park. Here’s a couple clips from their session. Music by Single Frame.
