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 usually spend some of my time working on something that is very deliberate and planned out, while
also having works in the studio which are filled with accidents and incidentals. And somehow, maybe
just through an imagined osmosis these two different methods or processes play off each other and
inform each other. Lending their assets and I suppose their liabilities to each other."
Michael Dopp was born in Bloomington, Indiana in 1978. He received his BFA from the School of the Art
Institute of Chicago and attended the New York Studio Program in 2005. He received his MFA in
Painting and Drawing from the University of California Los Angeles in 2009. His work was included in
the show In the Making recently on view at Roberts & Tilton in Los Angeles. Dopp lives and works in
Los Angeles, California.

John Baldessari
Nose/ Silhouette:Green, 2012
1 color lithograph, 1 color screenprint
Edition of 50
18 x 14 inches
Courtesy Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles, CA
Value: $2,500
Starting Bid: $1,700
In the series of colorful and dynamic prints, Nose/Silhouette (2010), John Baldessari continues his
investigation of isolated body parts, much as he did in his previous Gemini G.E.L. series Noses & Ears,
Etc. of 2006, and Foot and Stocking (With Big Toe Exposed) of 2010. In Foot and Stocking, the artist
focused on the exposed big toe of his studio assistants' right feet. Now the artist shifts his attention
back up to the face, particularly on the nose, in order to create the Nose/Silhouette series. For each
print, Baldessari appropriates a color or black-and-white photograph as source material for the nose,
which is then printed lithographically over a silk-screened, color-block silhouette of a face. An edition
size of 50, this engaging, small scale print (18 x 14 inches each) is terrifically representative of the type
of imagery that John Baldessari has come to be known for throughout his career.

As an early teen listening to "Enjoy Yourself" while reading "Jet" magazine.
As a high-schooler, amused by the girls swooning over "She's Out of My Life" while the boys cringe at the tearful ending.
As a young adult racing to get home just 5 minutes before the infamous "Moonwalk" first amazed the world.
As a club-goer waiting breathlessly for each new M.J. release.
As a middle aged man saddened by the loss of what was yet to come.

I meant this to be two countries in a nuclear standoff ,Wild west style .A scene that is played over and over, we have almost become accustomed to it. More of my work can be seen at www3.sympatico.ca/jim.rowe2/
suddenly i stopped my way and felt some kind of loneliness in myself and i felt that magnetic attraction to this corner.

Let it be not a day of mourning, more so a day of celebration. The biggest influential pop icon in the history of music lays to rest in the hands up above. For the first time, music has lost its soul, its bloodline, those drummer beats that make our feet glide across the dance floor. And I struggle to hear music...
As a man that lives his everyday life to the beat of music, my heart goes out to the Jackson family...as well as the rest of the world. Michael jackson changed the way we operate, the way we think, and the way we try to recreate those sounds of entertainment. Our musical creativity in which we call original, most likely mirrors the music created by MJ and he redefined a culture into what it is today. The bboy, pop and lock, hip hop, contemporary, jazz, ballet, tap moves we see on television and all around us, have all been influenced in some way by MJ. He connected with his fans and globally inspired the world. it seems so crazy to me but never have I seen more grown adults scream/cry/pass out in media/video clips for another person than for MJ.
When i received the news of his passing on cnn, i was shocked, speechless, and in complete denial. "Cardiac Arrest" the headlines read. And whether that will be the final cause of death, the autopsy will soon discover the truth. Why am I so compelled to start up my 365 day "autophotography" once again, originates with a passion to express feelings against an enemy I most dreadfully loathe. Heart disease runs deep in my family and its a disease that can sneak up on us at any time. 50 seems to be the age I most fear, and today I vow to change my diet and habitual evils. Health should be our number 1 priority. And I struggle to hear music...
But regardless of the issues and battles in his last years, and aside from the allegations, legal disputes, and controversial discrepancies, the music industry celebrates the life of its biggest icon. A pioneer to the art of music and video, Michael Jackson may he rest in peace...

I stumbled upon the custom shoe creator tool on Vans.com... and I spent about a week playing around with hundreds of different designs. Such an awesome idea and tool...
These are what I finally decided on - my own custom pair of Old School Vans. They arrived on Monday, and they came out way better than I had hoped.
