SANTA CRUZ SKATEBOARDS 50th Anniversary Celebration (2023)

I guess I was excited, because I couldn’t sleep the night before. Managed to get a couple of hours in, then got out of bed at 6am. Drove to Santa Cruz and got there right when the first jam (Seacliff) was starting at 11am. Next was Mike Fox park, then the rail down by the rollercoaster. Finally capping off the day with Dinosaur Jr. at the boardwalk. I saw a ton of old friends, filled both the cards on the Nikon, grabbed a corndog and then drove 4 hours back home. It was a whirlwind trip, but also one of the best days I’ve had in long time. Why can’t everyday be like this? Here’s the pics. Enjoy. And when you’re done, get out there and SKATE! – E. Hatch

Jereme Knibbs overcrook up the extension
Gravette 5050 flip-flop
This bs noseblunt was Devin Flynn’s set-up trick for a Barley Grind over the rainbow rail. He probably did this about 40 times in a row and never missed one! Incredible stuff.
Chris Colburn, Monty Grind
Jhancarlos Gonzalez makes shit like this look easy
Devin Flynn blasting a… uh… Crossbone? Grasser? I don’t even know what they call this anymore.

LARGE posse
I thought these walls didn’t look all that skateable, but these dudes proved me wrong. Eric Dressen, Devin Flynn, and Jhancarlos Gonzalez.
Gravette drop-in
Ollie, ollie tail-bash, ollie to smith… whatever you wanted over the gap, Devin Flynn had it with ease

Break time. Time to move onto the third and final spot for the day. Smoke ’em if you got ’em

After a long day of skating, the boys over at NHS closed it out with Dinosaur Jr. on the beach.
Epic times
If I make to the 100th, I’ll probably be the oldest person there. Great times. One Love.
