Last Friday night was Omar Salazar’s Nike SB release party for his new Shoe. The event was held at PLA in Folsom CA. In conjunction with this release, Spitfire was unavailing Omar’s new “Strike Anywhere” wheel and new video. Ben Lutes (owner of PLA) invited the HA crew out to partake in the festivities.

The event went great and no surprise, since Ben and Omar are class acts. We had some good laughs and talked some business. There was a small after party that followed and I’ll just say it was definitely memorable.

Big thanks to Omar Salazar, Ben Lutes (PLA), DLX, Joe Brook (Thrasher), Jeff Landi (The Skateboard Mag), Greg Hunt and Mike Richins (Nike). Please enjoy the visuals from that night. Also, keep a look out for some upcoming projects coming out of the HA and PLA camps.

This is classic Omar. Always up to something sketchy.

Omar is always so great with the kids. Our boy Ped was there with his son and Omar hooked up a new Spitfire poster for him.

A lot of amazing photographs of Omar were on display that night. Thanks to Joe Brook, Greg Hunt and Jeff Landi pictures. Their work is so inspiring.

Blake and Billy talking about upcoming Project Grey game plans.

Just as we got there, Calvin was heading out.

Omar’s new Spitfire promo was playing all night.

Billy, Russ and Mike Richins from Nike where holding it down in the back of PLA. Not sure if Bill was trying to pose as if he was making deals.

Matt Mullin was there and was putting his camera in everyones face that night.

Richard was demanding I take a picture with this Justin Beiber look a like.

Russ got this shot off of me. Not too often that I’m on this end of the lens.
