GWC The Memories

Conversation I had today made me think about how rad all those world cups actually were. So many highlights. I thought a thread might be good so people could share theirs. Some for me that come to mind are..

Tony Horkz 900
Koston/Biebel/Janoski manny session
Schecklers Mums jeans
Darren Kirby
Sprouters & Ali Bougetrad
Russell Grundy Melons
Paper Planes
& so many others

please share

chicks beating the shit out of each other of shecklers wristbands and sneaking in to vip

Kettles

fuck yeh i remember when i went and got to be on the dvd by staring in awe at the rodney mullen uber light set up ahahah

carpet boarding around the outside of the rod laver on those 4 ply thick signature boards...
intense product tosses at the end

watching blind - what if? for the first time was pretty sick too...
god i miss the GWC

I remember ellissa steamer got in a gnarly fight with the security guards there... & they premiered Blind-what if after the comp & jakes part!
I remember being waterboy and handing out bottles of water to all the pros on the course. heaps of memories!

Why'd they stop doing things like that? I think slaughter at the opera was the last comp like that wasnt it?

meeting drew in the flesh.

That and or general AAA pass.

But overall melbourne trip. fucking amazing times with homiesssss <3 aww :'(

ps. that era was when the forumheads as a whole were the tightest its ever been, we even discussed a sk8parx vip area hahaha!

omg tnt's wife!

GREEN TANK TOP FROM MEMORY

the course with the pool
Austen Seaholm
a loaf of bread

My skate comp spectator highlight?

When Jeff Williams trucked the asshole security guard on the head with his board at the X-games. I was about 15. Then there was a mini-riot.

THE CAR CRASH
where that chick crashed into woodsys beast. and he could not have been more pissed.

sydney vs melbourne

and when tnt 90 degree ollied up the big euro, and then slid into lipslide on the edge of the bowl.

fuck some of the funnest trips of my life. highlights would be naked benny getting punched out by brandon biebel and pushed through a window by a homeless man.
acid bender on the goldy. losing my mind while watching people jump down the double flight. giving blake harris acid for the first time and watching him freak out. camping in peewees backyard while the vox team camped out the front.
giving an indian secci at the vic hotel my i.d., a bit later he realises i'm 17 and chases me around the hotel for the next three days.
getting rolled by abos, sucked but a fond memory nonetheless.
azar punching out old mate ferguson.
brian anderson coming out.
getting head in hyde park during the mardigrass and hooking up with these girls i told i was andrew reynolds.
happy saying he was callum paul to get into the after party.
jake phelps continually pointing at my scar and screaming double rusted barbed wire
watching random kids skate flinders at 4am
watching pros shred the streets everyday highlight probably cale nuske nollie heely crooks that rail near lincoln square
best fucking memories i wished it would come back some other major gathering of skaters needs to happen

ellissa steamer getting into a fight with secis at the comp, and then with a bouncer at the after party haha. she kept going at this massive dude and ellington had to drag her off.

burdett fighting omar
sammy winter vs TNT
burnett vs the hookbo

fixing my broken arm with ecstasy
the ox's secretary
convic sambuca drinking challenge

thousands of annoying kids from disadvantaged homes.

"and then with a bouncer at the after party haha."

I must have been only a few metres away from you there. That shit was embarrassing.

seaholme

wasnt really down with the forum collective but i remember buggin out drunk watching that hello jojo premiere, and saw tuaki and there was a fight or something crazy happened out the front i just remember blood and glass

I reckon just all the pros filming at night. You would go to a skatepark or hit the city and see all these skaters that have inspired you for years shredding.

I was on my way home from drinking and Ed templeton and Eric Ellington were skating flinders with a bunch of other pros. There were wack preachers yelling and paying out the skaters and the skaters yelling right back heaps of funny shit. There was a big crowd and Eric Ellington kicky fs boarded into a fat lady. He is tall and landed with his knees into her shoulders. It was gnarly!

TNT and Keagan saunders and senn linking the raddest speed lines

when woodsy had his ute backed into by the girl winner and then bucky filling the whole stadium by driving a new f150 up the quarter.

Good times

joshua.
