Vans team rider Daniel Sandoval took the win today at the 2014 Vans Off the Wall BMX Invitational as part of the 52nd Annual Coastal Edge East Coast Surfing Championships (CE-ECSC) in Virginia Beach, Virginia. CE-ECSC is the largest and most anticipated action sports festival on the East Coast and the action and energy on the BMX park course did not disappoint.
The course was expanded this year to allow for plenty of lines and variety to go with the huge tricks thrown down in previous years. The crowd and riders gave it their seal of approval by “cranking it to 11″ from start to finish.
Gary Young was the top rider in Prelims on Friday, yet all 18 riders in the event rode great, reflected by the fact that less than 10 points separated Gary from 18th place.
Jason Watts from Brisbane, Australia made the most of his summer in the states by following up his third place finish at the Van Doren Invitational with a solid fifth place finish here. Boomerang airs and brakeless nosemanuals flowed together with huge tricks over the box. Fellow Aussie Ryan Guettler landed in fourth place with a one-handed table flip, huge flair, and the transfer of the weekend – an alleyoop 720 from spine to box.
Despite tweaking his knee during his top scoring prelim run, Gary Young followed up his big win at the Van Doren Invitational with a third place finish in Virginia Beach. He blasted the quarter pipe higher than anyone while riding in typical Gary fashion – fast and flowing with unique lines the other riders were blown away by.
Scotty Cranmer’s runs were unreal. He finished .20 behind the winner, despite a fall at the end of his second run which was full of highlights – a massive double tailwhip flip over the box, a clean 720 over the spine straight into a fufanu to icepick to turndown on the wallride.
Last year’s second place rider, Daniel Sandoval, moved to the top of the podium this year. In addition to his big tricks over the box, Daniel did huge double whips on the quarter pipe, a double whip over the channel, a 900 and a vader scuff nosemanual to add some lip trick variety.
“I am so excited to take home the win,” said Daniel Sandoval. “After placing second last year, I was super fired up to come back to Virginia Beach this year. Thanks to Vans for supporting this event, it’s always great to come out and compete in such a fun city.”
The vibe throughout the week at the Vans Off the Wall BMX Invitational was reminiscent of the Vans Triple Crown of BMX series that ran from 2001-2004. The insane level of riding was surpassed only by the amount of fun had by all.

The little boy in the sunglasses above is my brother, Bob. Although there was eight years difference in our ages, Bob and I were always close. One of my favorite memories about him has to do with the Saturday afternoon comics. When we were kids, Greensboro had an afternoon newspaper, the Greensboro Record. I remember sitting on the front porch waiting for the paperboy to deliver the paper. Like Sunday's, Saturday's comics were in color. I was too young to read so Bob read the comics to me. His favorite was Alley Oop. The main character was a caveman with a dinosaur and a girlfriend. Bob has been gone for several years and sitting on the front porch waiting for the comics was over sixty years ago. Yet, even now I can see the old neighborhood, feel the boards of the porch under me and experience the excitement of waiting with my brother for Alley Oop to arrive.

Alley Oop Park in Iraan, Texas - 1976. The painting is Alley Oop.
The Park is in Iraan (a small town in Pecos County) because the creator of the comic strip - V. T. Hamlin - lived in the town while working in the oil business in the late 1920's. This was before he created the comic strip.
In the 2020 census, Iraan had a population of 1,037.

During WWII this Medium Bombing Squadron flew the PV-1 Ventura on ASW (anti-submarine warfare) patrols, convoy escort and barrier sweeps along the South Atlantic Coast of South America ... 30 Jul 1943: Lieutenant Commander Thomas D. Davies and crew sighted a fully surfaced submarine - a German U-Boat - during a coastal barrier sweep northeast of Bahia, Brazil. The U-Boat crew attempted to fight it out with their 20-mm AA fire, but the bow guns of the Ventura quickly cleared the decks of the submarine, allowing Davies to make a perfect drop with four Mark 47 depth charges athwart the still surfaced U-Boat. The submarine U-604, Kapitänleutnant Horst Höltring commanding, submerged after the attack then surfaced again at a 60- degree angle with the screws out of the water. The U-Boat again submerged. Later, German prisoners of war indicated that damage to the U-Boat was so severe that it had to be scuttled on 11 August. A second U-Boat was transporting U-604's crew back to France, when, 2 weeks later, 14 of the survivors were killed when that U-Boat was attacked. sixtant.net/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=vi... ... the son of the aviator who flew in this squadron has shared this with me, along with www.vpnavy.org

Boomerang airs and brakeless nosemanuals flowed together with huge tricks over the box. Fellow Aussie Ryan Guettler landed in fourth place with a one-handed table flip, huge flair, and the transfer of the weekend – an alleyoop 720 from spine to box.
Despite tweaking his knee during his top scoring prelim run, Gary Young followed up his big win at the Van Doren Invitational with a third place finish in Virginia Beach. He blasted the quarter pipe higher than anyone while riding in typical Gary fashion – fast and flowing with unique lines the other riders were blown away by.
Scotty Cranmer’s runs were unreal. He finished .20 behind the winner, despite a fall at the end of his second run which was full of highlights – a massive double tailwhip flip over the box, a clean 720 over the spine straight into a fufanu to icepick to turndown on the wallride.
Last year’s second place rider, Daniel Sandoval, moved to the top of the podium this year. In addition to his big tricks over the box, Daniel did huge double whips on the quarter pipe, a double whip over the channel, a 900 and a vader scuff nosemanual to add some lip trick variety.
“I am so excited to take home the win,” said Daniel Sandoval. “After placing second last year, I was super fired up to come back to Virginia Beach this year. Thanks to Vans for supporting this event, it’s always great to come out and compete in such a fun city.”
The vibe throughout the week at the Vans Off the Wall BMX Invitational was reminiscent of the Vans Triple Crown of BMX series that ran from 2001-2004. The insane level of riding was surpassed only by the amount of fun had by all.
Vans team rider Daniel Sandoval took the win today at the 2014 Vans Off the Wall BMX Invitational as part of the 52nd Annual Coastal Edge East Coast Surfing Championships (CE-ECSC) in Virginia Beach, Virginia. CE-ECSC is the largest and most anticipated action sports festival on the East Coast and the action and energy on the BMX park course did not disappoint.
The course was expanded this year to allow for plenty of lines and variety to go with the huge tricks thrown down in previous years. The crowd and riders gave it their seal of approval by “cranking it to 11″ from start to finish.
Gary Young was the top rider in Prelims on Friday, yet all 18 riders in the event rode great, reflected by the fact that less than 10 points separated Gary from 18th place.
Jason Watts from Brisbane, Australia made the most of his summer in the states by following up his third place finish at the Van Doren Invitational with a solid fifth place finish here.

Iraan, Texas. Giant cigar-toting Alley Oop head! At the Alley Oop Fantasy Land, in memory of where the cartoon character was created. Picture taken September 13, 2008. Photo #35 of 65.
Alley Oop Fantasyland is a small municipal park in the tiny oil-soaked west Texas town of Iraan. To be frank, it's not really that impressive of a tourist attraction. There's the giant Alley Oop head, a giant Dinny the Dinosaur you can climb upon, and a couple other odds and ends. There is also the local museum (only rarely open) that details the history of the region and how V.T. Hamlin created Alley Oop, plus some various oil production museum relics and a giant blade from one of the local wind power turbines. But if you're whizzing past on the I-10 heading west into the godforsaken desert, why not make a pit-stop and give your respects to Alley Oop?
