Well as the title suggests, the BDO was TONS of fun!
Awesome bands, cool sideshows and the Best skate show I’ve ever seen!
I’ll throw a few pics up to get started but I have loads of pics and a few vids that I will put up soon.
HUGE thanks to Boardworld and the BDO skate tour for slinging me the tickets! See you next year guys cool smile


My favourite pic of the day


Mr Hawk showing the new generation what a Mctwist should really look like.


Sandro Diaz - Christ Air (and yes he landed it!) This dude is crazy good.
He’s definitely taking vert to the next level. I wish I got a good vid of him.

It was rad man. They had the vert ramp setup between the seating area and the two main stages so u could always watch the skating and listen to the main acts at the same time.

Some of the awesome bands I saw:


Frenzal Rhomb - Still rocking out fast and loud.


Parkway Drive - Really good drummer


Hilltop Hoods - My favourite act of the day!


My Chemical Romance and the vert ramp at the same time. It couldn’t be any better than this.


The Birdman - Tony Hawk hand planting over the Kasabian stage


Soundgarden - Stoked these guys got back together. I thought I’d missed my chance to see them live.
They didn’t disappoint smile


Kanye West - Love him or hate him, the dude put on one hell of a show!

Videos of the skate tour to come, just as soon as someone tells me how to imbed them from photobucket lol
