Vote for the GVK Kontest Winner

Vote for GVK Kontest winner

All right, lets get this taken care of. I’ve got some poll software installed and now it’s time to vote for the winner of the GVK Photo Kontest. The prize package includes a skateboard of our choice and a bunch of random stuff. I thought we’d see more entries than we got, maybe we should have made a bigger deal about the prize. I’ve learned a few things from this contest, and I’ve already got an idea for the next one. Voting ends at Midnight, Pacific time, on June 22nd.

GVK# 30: Gabriel Park is/is not open

So I get a call and some on tells me Gabriel is still not open, yet the footage you are about to witness would lead you to believe the opposite but as you can plainly read Gabriel is closed? “Kooks go home,” is what I was told.

GVK Photo Kontest tease

GVK photo kontest still wide open

Come on people. We still need your GVK Photo Kontest entries. This shot above is not an entry, just a composite to get you stoked. Mummified Grover is an out take from an old print issue cover shoot. There will be one deck from an undecided manufacturer in the prize package. I’ve compiled some of the entries so far after the jump. It ends June 8th, so lets get going!

GVK#29: Cannon Beach

GVK#29: Grass Carp In A Minnow Pool

So I went to the beach on Friday. It was hot as balls there too. Canon Beach was the destination, low and behold the new park was finished the guy was putting in the rules sign as we arrived. I asked when is the park open (three times) and he finally said “When this sign is up.” What you witness is what happened after the sign was posted. Peace Off!

GVK Stickers

Grover’s ego is out of control. He practically knocked over my executive assistant Trixie when he barged into my office and demanded more promotions for Grover’s Video Korner, or he was going to take the whole production elsewhere. He said his people were having talks, and his agent told me unless I start taking Grover seriously, the deal was FUBAR. I sat down with my lawyers and we came up with a one point promotion plan that will knock your socks off. The official GVK on SNA sticker. That’s right, this is the official one, not those cheap knock offs you’ve seen on the bottom of Chinese skateboards. You can see an enlargement and find out how to get yours after the jump.

GVK#26: Skate Race 3000

So here is a little game I like to call Skate Race. I am the best. Here are the three reasons. 1) Because I thought of it. 2) I am undefeated. 3) You are afraid to challenge me. “So go sell your ice cream on the other side of the street”. Out Grover.
