Geoff Rowley's "Free Dome to Skate" Part Premiere Photos
5/10/2023
Geoff Rowley premiered his new part and the audience also got hit with a free Black Flag show. A night this packed typically only happens in your dreams. Lucky for you, it’s on your screens. Get to scrollin’. —Ben Karpinski
Cruising up, I was wondering why I already had a pin to the venue saved in my phone
Turns out, Corey Glick frontside wallrode the shit out of this place in Splendor
First star sighting, I caught Sheckler eyeing a different spot
Wait, was this the pin? That looks familiar, too
Dan Lu got there post Propeller
Speaking of Dan Lu’s clip, Tim filmed it. But enough about old tricks, these guys are here for a new Geoff Rowley part!
Video master Jack Mansfield greeted us at the door
Always scheming, Wee Man and Ewan were up to somethin'. Jackass really is forever
The Reuters weren’t gonna miss a Black Flag show in Costa Mesa
Just like the Lopez fam wouldn’t miss a Rowley premiere—anywhere
All smiles from Paul and Jared
More of Costa Mesa's elite locals: Andrew Nguyen, Ethan Loy and Welcome skateboards newest spellcaster Ryan Reyes
Matt Fookes and Dave Hoang should be on the premiere-night BINGO card
Finally, the man of the hour and the SOTY of Y2K showed up surrounded by most of my childhood heroes and Shecks—who was a child when I was
Switch heel front nose a handrail? Still fucked!
Love me a Brian Sumner sighting. Seen here with Geoff, Omar and Lance
Fun fact: I still have a notebook signed by both Lance and Geoff from the Vans Triple Crown contest in 1999
Oblow and Laura back on the same continent again
Free Dome artist Falu pulled up and painted this one on the spot
Nothin’ but the gnarliest tonight, Dane Burman and Jamie Thomas were on site
Sorry, I’m not really sorry to grab a photo with Geoff and Apples
A shot with Klein, Skippy and Chicken? Sure!
Did I mention there were free donuts?
And sliders from Grinders, too!
What’s the opposite of the Am Scramble? Probably a trip with Lucero, Mike V and Lance
Lawrence and his girlfriend got the balcony locked down
LB Skate in the house!
Along with Borden, Dressen and company
Bublitz got to bring home a heavy HB artifact for an absent Tom K
Speaking of artifacts, here’s every board Geoff skated for this part
The boards were off limits, but there was still a stack of proddy to raffle off
Jamie helped pick the winner
Alright, it’s time! Geoff kept it short and sweet
Always epic
Jaws were dropped. Exploding head emojis were posted
Now for a little-known musical act
Think the local punks would miss this?!
"Hot Wire My Heart"
“Hey! Take our photo!”
Black Flag 2023
It may look like I’m just blogging away, but in my head I’m Glen E. Friedman and I’m making Fuck You Heroes
As a longtime fan of both Black Flag and Mike V, it really does work
Oh shit, the pit’s starting
Baca and Sticky Dickies are down
You know Matt Ward was loving it
Circle Jerks? Nah, we got a circle pit
GTWYC
"TV Party Tonight!"
The secret to the pit is knowing when to bounce. This is when I knew
Midwest rocker Ariana Spencer’s no stranger to a hardcore show
Wait, how is this the first time I am noticing Wee Man has his own Motörhead shirt? Does Geoff even have that?
From "Nervous Breakdown" to "Six Pack" and all the way to "Black Coffee," they played the hits
Wait a sec….
Is that Ray Barbee onstage closing out the set with "Louie Louie"?!
Sure is! Take us out, Ray
Congrats again to Geoff and Jack! The video was amazing and I can’t wait for you all to see it
Yup
