Running the Numbers.
I went to the New Balance demo at Food Court Skatepark in Buffalo, New York on Saturday. It was a lot of really great skateboarding in a mellow atmosphere. Most of the team was there, including Andrew Reynolds, Jamie Foy, Franky Villani, Brian Reid, Patrick Praman, Tiago Lemos, Jake Hayes, Tom Karangelov, Justin Henry, and a couple others. There was a good sized crowd and people were stoked. They skated for about two hours, did a product toss, and then signed autographs. I'm not an autograph collector so I split after the skating was done. I didn't talk to anybody and stuck to watching the skateboarding.
I brought my camera. The lighting at the park is equal to a hockey rink so without flashes and/or studio lights, it's rough sledding. I eked out a few pics that are decent enough for the internet. Thrasher is covering the tour so there will be better documentation at some point down the road. If you need an instant fix, I imagine all the highlights are on the Instagram by now.
Tyler closed out the demo with this nollie to backside 180 nosegrind type of move. I was a little surprised to see him there since he lives in Spain.
