So here’s a new feature that will probably be neglected after a decent run for a few weeks:  the Sunday Sequence.  I’ve got a ton of these things that have been sitting on my hard drive for months (years in some cases), so what better way to use them than to give them as gifts?  If everything works out like I have it planned, when you wake up on Sunday mornings, you’ll have a new sequence to come and look at.  Fingers crossed and away we go!

 First up is one Paul Zitzer with a very nimble little combo.  Yeah Paul, killing it!

Talk about being on a roll!  Butter me up because I just posted on Good Problem for the second time this month!  Man, what am I, full of free time?  Anyway, enjoy a little new-new from Mr. Dane Warner. 

And yes, the Thunder contest photos and video are coming.

Wow, theP representing…ummm…hard…over at the ‘Tap.  Ballard comes through with a Mini Top 5 entry.

A few days ago, we posted an email from an art teacher at Eastern High School here in Louisville in which she was asking for votes for her students’ designs in a Vans Custom Culture shoe customization contest.  Well, apparently people got busy voting because Eastern came through with the regional victory!  I have no clue what this means, so maybe someone can fill us all in down there in the comments section.  Congrats to everyone involved!

theProgram’s filmer extraordinaire, Matt Ballard recently shot a clip with Cole Wilson that made it onto Crailtap. If you wanna check it go to crailtap.com

Just got an email from a teacher at Eastern High School here in Louisville about a contest she and her art classes have entered.  The shoes look dope, so read below and vote for Eastern!

From Trisha Hamilton-Cooper: 

“Kentucky School is in the top 20 for the Vans Customize Your Shoes Contest.
Voting ends tonight, April 18, at 3:00 in the morning.  Please support a Kentucky school and show that we aren’t just a bunch of hicks. 
Go to the southeast region and vote for Eastern High School
We were one of the first schools with a skate board team and where just told we can no longer have one, because it is not a sport.  We hope getting a National Award might help us get ours back. 
Vote at http://vans.com/customculture/vote.html
every vote makes a difference and this has been a very grassroots project.”

So as most of you know, the rains came and washed out the Thunder Trucks Over Louisville manual contest yesterday.  From all reports there was already some good stuff going down when people were warming up, so let’s hope you all can bring that same fire tomorrow.  I’ve also heard that there were some out-of-towners who were bummin’ because they couldn’t make it on a Friday, but are now coming in because it’s rescheduled.  So get your game ready fellas, there might be some new dogs in the fight.

 Anyway, the contest has been reschedule for tomorrow, SUNDAY, APRIL 18th, at 6PM.  See you then.

The Thunder Trucks Over Louisville contest is this Friday!  That’s in three days.  Wanna know what you’re skating for? Well, Jim and Damon at Deluxe came through with these amazing sets of trophy trucks for the top 3 places, as well as a grip of other product to give out.  You know you want these things, so I hope you’ve got your manual game locked up!

A few days ago I remembered that I had a posting spot over at Kevin Wilkins’ “Good Problem” blog, so I threw up a post about Radley’s ramp. Why?  Because all I’ve been doing lately is going to his ramp.

Sometimes we come up with good ideas at the last minute.  This is one such case.  We here at theProgram have teamed up with Thunder Trucks to bring you the “Thunder Over Louisville” manual contest.  Details are on the flyer, but we hope to see all of you at the contest whether it be skating or cheering on your friends.
