Julian at AST Dew Tour skate competition


Julian went to Baltimore, MD this past weekend for the AST Dew Tour skate competition. After the usual grip-and-grin festivities, Julian hooked up with fellow pro skater, Rodney Jones, and hit up some sweet street spots around Baltimore. With Fuel TV filmer, Brian, in tow, these two shredded State of Confusion Skate Park then ripped up a foundation spot legend known as The Ridge. With barely enough time to shower/sh*t/shave, it was time for Julian to head to Club Sonar for the Red Bull Mania Mini Ramp contest. Thank goodness L.E. (owner of Twisted Trees Skateboards for which Julian skates *check out his pro model!!*) was there, Julian was racking in the prizes and L.E. made many trips to the car to stash them all. Other weekend festivities included a party at Mosaic hosted by pro skater/self-generated hype guru Will Powers, partying with Pro Rider Chris Gentry, and a quick run to Dulles to get Chris Cudlipp to his plane on time. After watching the final skate park competition (yes, Sheckler won), Ju-tang grabbed L.E. and his girl, Lea, to meet fellow Shmack Skate Team member Matt "Gumbie" Therres and his girl, Carleigh who also skates for Mobtown, at Little Havana's for lunch. Then back to Virginia Beach for a small break until the upcoming WRV contest at Trashmore followed by the AST Dew Tour in Cleveland July 15-19 where Ju-Tang will compete in the open qualifiers for a spot in the finals to finish out the five-stop tour.
