The
Second annual CALISKATZ Hella Hella Nor-Cal
Show went down on October 14,2006 once again at the Ripon Skatepark.
This year we had a bigger turn out and some really great skating
that went down. Tyler Bingaman, Sean Barclay and Moose all
returned this year with a idea of how this thing went down. The
Hella Hella Norcal Show is not just a all day skate jam but a
endurance check. Can you last all the heats? Will you burn out
on the last final heat? The contest is judged by 40% all day
skating and 60% comes down to the final jam. That is what pretty
much determined this years winner. Throughout the day Josh
Mattson "The Boulder Creek Freak" was absolutely killing it!.
This guy was a machine and passed through preliminary heats and
semi-finals with a breeze. Josh also took Best Trick in two
separate best trick events we had. Thanks Josh for bringing your
unique style and crazy energy to the contest. I wish I had
another $1000.00 to hand you for being the all day MVP!

And that was it. No injuries this year it turned out sick! I
filmed a ton of stuff and will be posting clips up in the next
couple days. To all my friends who came out and helped with the
event, I couldn't pull it off without all of you. Next year will
be the Third Annual Hella Hella Norcal show and once again will
be held at the Ripon Skatepark. Look forward to seeing you all
out there again.

The Winner
Taylor Bingaman
Taylor was killing it with this sick 5.0 all the way across the
quarter and down the chunky curb.
James Casale hates to skate contest's but he managed to land a
photo this year.
