When times are tough it is nice when there’s a cool event that can be taken in for free. The Levi’s 3rd Annual Powersliding Competition will be held Wednesday April 15th from 3-5pm at the Santa Monica Pier. If you are close to the area you should check it out, it’s sure to be a good time. There will be lots of crazy sliding and music by Matt and Kim.
"The event includes a sizable street course that will test the competitors’ freestyle skills with 40-foot, four-story rails and boxes, and a cool ocean breeze with a good experience for your audience/event goers. Other highlights include a performance from Brooklyn rockers Matt & Kim, complimentary treats from Mountain Dew and Kogi Korean BBQ taco trucks, and free custom screen-printed apparel, all surrounding the massive Powersliding course. A way for spectators to cut loose and take a break from tax day, KROQ’s Psycho Mike, Catfish, and our celebrity judges will keep the crowd entertained and help encourage carnage on the rails."
Thanks for the tip Andy.

Some of those shots look like downtown Portland, Oregon. World Trade Center – Portland, to be precise.
