At FATBMX we're not afraid to bring something different, even if it involves skateboarding. During the Snickers Bowl at the Download festival in Donington last week, some true skateboard legends were flown in to do some skating in the wooden bowl. Most of you might not remember names like
Kevin Staab, Mike McGill, Duane Peters, Steve Olson, Tony Alva, Sean Goff and
Nicky Guerrero but those are some legendary skateboarders who have paved the way for loads of skateboarders that started after them.
Being a judge we were on the same schedule as the true pool skaters. We stayed in the same hotel, drank at the same bar, sat in the same bus and listened to the same bands at the festival (Slayer, Megadeth,
Ozzy, Billy Idol, Flogging Molly). It was amazing to be at the same places as the DogTown originals and Bones Brigade members. Enjoy the photos and if you happen to come across one of those SoulBowl events, go check it out.
