The day kicked off early at 10AM inside No-Comply with free Idlewild coffee before we pulled back the throttle on a full day skate day. Park sessions, art shows and live music sets, what more could you want from a big ol' birthday bash? Get a look at all the action as we ring in our 19th year. —Elias Bingham

Startin' off STRONG. Packed house off the bat. Let's see who we got in here

First 25 in the door get a free mug. Early birds and worms, ya know

Two out of 25, lookin' good

Idlewild crew, Wade and Jared get a break from the crowd

David Langston is a free agent, y’all! Someone, make this right!

Lil homie got some pizza with and egg on top. Let's get over to the park

Already poppin' off, Garrett Young flicks the nip with a kicky

Torchy’s Tacos keeping everyone fueled up

Lensman and underground star Joel Meinholz brings the goods

Random ripper with a random hard flip, good start to the session

Joaquin skips the table and goes straight for the drop

In this town, Joaquin is number one!

While the kids rip, Mike Laybold dreams about his next round of golf

Rocco Marsh with a rico flop

After the bump comes the real table test. Lexito backside flips from flat

And he runs it back with a nollie shove. Speaking of back ... beanies with bills?

They call him Trevor "Twin Turbo T-Bag" Theriault. Pop shove nosegrind, first try!

What's a schoolyard table without some boogers? Dylan leaves one on the top

The spring season comes early with Alder's switch O

What kinda board is that, Brett?!

Aiden might be the youngest hippie in Austin

Ry-Gonx flickers the stickers. What, you thought all these moves were just for the love?

Scotty adds another booger

Last hit for the LA portion of the day, Brandon's frontside flip ends the session

Let's check the scene. Starting here with stoke, unlimited

Unlimited stoke!

Cherries Squad Kayla and Cori stop to smell the flowers

Hell yeah, squad. Alright, back to the action

Okay, Scotty! 

Fire tricks = free gear

Trubba at the hubba, Alder brings it with a 180 nosegrind

And finally, Garrett closes the day out with a pinch-perfect overcrook. Speakin' of over, let's get to the shop

No-Comply is for the whole fam

Manny throwing up the middle. Is that blood or paint?

The birds are popular today! Ashley (aka DJ Metal as Fuck) brings the beats and the attitude

The crowd's into it

Well into the night, we got Kat and Adri with Best Days 

Rob cracking brews for the bros. Remember to tip your bro-tender! 

James gets jacked on Jets pizza 

Finger board session so heavy you gotta bring that WWI helmet

Sup, Sonny?

The bench was blazin'. More specifically, the guys sitting on the bench were, but that doesn't sound as snappy, does it?

Daniel and Luke stayin’ lit in the shadows

WIP twins Cole and Bubby. Back to work, you two

Homies as far as the eye can see
