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.

I was fortunate or should I say unfortunate to feel the power of one of these waves and let me tell you, this is a wave of consequences period, it's heavy, full of energy and very powerful. They hold you down so you can eat some of the gnarly shallow reef as an appetizer and then just throws you around like a pinball machine.....Isn't that FUN!!!

LR_AYA7016 - Well HaPpY Wall Wednesday, happiness is dancing on a wall surely :)
Long story but basically missed my Hovercraft commute by two minutes, so needed something to do for half an hour until the next one, everything has an upside.
Some early Bestival goers where hanging around waiting for something, but one of them was very keen to get going and got down with some practice dancing why not.
Sunrise 1 and 2 were painted and exihibited in the Peterborough art gallery. While they were up, I finished 3 and 4, all 4 were exhibited in the Oshawa Gallery as a complete set the next year.
Wheels, Totems, and Wishes, was created by artist Willie Cole in 2019 for HYxOffTheWall. By repurposing shoes, plastic containers, and other common materials, Willie Cole creates visceral artworks that communicate potent messages about civilization’s place in space and time aka history. In this site-specific installation a seamless cloudscape and totem pole made from high-heel shoes serve as backdrop for 3 unique mandala-like constructions made from recycled water bottles. Cole invites viewers into the space, asking individuals to write messages and place them in bottles at the center of the mandala, playing off the classic “message in a bottle” concept.
HYxOffTheWall, on exhibit at The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards from March 2019 to January 2020, features large-scale tableaus, interactive displays and murals from 13 artists. The exhibit was curated and produced by CultureCorps.

USA For Africa - We Are The World
Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)
One of the more memorable moment for me was the performance of the Michael Jackson in the "We are the world" song which was performed live on television. The fundraising project for the USA For Africa was an amazing charity production that brought togather on one stage some of the most popular singers at the time to draw attention to a crisis taking place in Africa. "We Are the World" is a 1985 song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, produced and conducted by Quincy Jones and recorded by a supergroup of 45 popular musicians billed as USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa).
USA for Africa
Most of the singers on the record are American, with the exception of Bob Geldof (who is Irish) and Dan Aykroyd (who is Canadian).
Despite all of the threats, the injunctions and the advise from well meaning friends and family, I've decided to publish another issue of Pelican Life Magazine. It may be the ultimate special interest magazine....you know, when you consider pelicans are not avid readers.
