Bust or Bail: Santa Monica Slamma Photos
2/16/2026
The original-and-baddest real street contest in the streets took over the fabled Santa Monica Triple Set for an ungodly afternoon of four-wheeled annihilation! Fun fact: Julien Stranger was the first to ollie it. But can you guess who was the first to get a cheesesteak named after them at Big Dean’s? Guess you don’t know everything. Start scrolling …

Fuck, is this it?
Plenty of run up
And they even plied over the forsaken splintered boardwalk
And THAT should do it
Check-in area. Guess which one is the bad cop
No wristband … no Bust
Brought to you by your friends at Nike Skateboarding. Wait, is that what the SB stands for?
Check the list … Nobody’s doing Shane’s Shocker, jus’ sayin’
A flood of familiar faces
‘Nah, I don’t think nollie double frontside heel has been done …’
Tha boys
You should see Lance’s face light up when Frank’s around
Our old friends from éS!
Meza jokes metal with Gregson
If she can survive a Bust or Bail … hold onto her, Bobby
OG sammich
Meanwhile, the Kingswell crew gets a First Look in the restaurant
Fuck it, give us the Punch!
Speak of the devil!
Frank made it
Nak came ready to jump
And then NBA fans got their minds blown with a surprise pull up from the Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker
Dashawn knows everybody!
Speaking of legends … J Wray and Geoff made it! Gus, too
And Bam!
Alright, now it’s getting ridiculous
Are we ready???
Someone is
Kader tests the water
What’s up, Shane!
Local media …
We good?
Heavy line up
And today’s announcers: Geoff and Gus
Early flex from Dylan Jaeb—first-rip frontside flip!!!
And then his sidekick Tobes followed it with the nollie bs flip! Is that NBD? Better check the board
Gas money, at least!
GT and Antonio share the airspace
Jake Anderson, heelflip blast from the roof angle
ATL shove
Grant battled for this extended fakie ollie floater
Frankie spanked the V-heel and luckily Burndog kept his shirt on
Quick switch flip and dip from the amazing Shane O
Switch backside flip? What was it again?
Decenzo paid homage to the great Jeremy Wray with a perfect front three
And Antonio floated switch frontside flips all afternoon
Going for the fandangle too!
Fakie flip, precision from LA Jaeb
Wonder who he’s gonna ride for?
The laser heel and the triple stack were a match made in heaven for Dashawn
Pew-pew!!!
Tommy Sandoval tossed carcass all day. Thanks for jumping, Guns
Shiloh was going hard for the big ollie …
But in the end, Mariah won the battle. So sick
Our friends from the Olde Country
Kader brought it … nollie fs heelflip
Squeeze in close for Yuri’s hardlflip
Jace made it! Switch front heel
The look on Dylan’s face sums up his approach to this shit
Too easy …
The OGs were feeling it!
”Hawaii!!!” Hosoi cried out
Definitely an Aloha moment
Smiles for miles
That just means they like it
Ryan Carrell tossed the inward heel for a couple hours, popping it high enough to clear a Volkswagen
Finally made it!
BIG response. Thought that was maybe the end ….
But, nah, Jaeb wanted more …
BOOM! Fakie heel. Ok, NOW he’s done
Late arrival Kento juiced a varial flip
And Bootes kept tossing the diabolical front heel
John Bradford, not the OG photo legend, nailed the fakie tré, straight off the NBD board
So sick!
Okay, so we must be done now …
Nope, that’s when Kento’s big flip went down
The boss is calling it! Helluva finish!
Party time
One GOOD thumb up!
JITs and OG’s … everyone had a great day
From Dirty Jersey to the sparkling Pacific
From Florida and beyond
Lil’ Rose Street reunion in the bar
Goddamn it, Jake deserves a sensible beer!
Dilo, as seen in the new one
KOTR survivors
Thought we didn’t get a shoe from this shit??
Jolly, Jordan and Spielman
Bring a baby .. if you got some
Kader and the 'Dog
Bust or Bail is definitely a family affair. Can’t wait to see Gunner Sandoval in one of these things
For lovers, too
Or bros
Or anyone who loves a little skate excitement … AND a good burger
And nothing but blood stains left behind. Thanks, everyone! Where are we doing it next???
