Nah its all the camera because as most people know the camera takes the photo lol.

Very little editing done to them.  The clouds are actually that red.  We had a storm just pass us and the sun was setting.  I really could not have asked for better lighting.

PEDRO BARROS WINS VANS BOWL-A-RAMA 2011!

Saturday 19th of February: After a big day of battle 15 year-old Pedro Barros skates away as back-to-back Pro winner of VANS BOWL-A-RAMA 2011, whilst Steve Caballero took out the Masters title for the forth year in a row.

Rotating crowds of over 5000 people were witness to some of the biggest names in skateboarding battling it out for a prize purse which gave each skater a huge incentive to get amongst the competition in the biggest BOWL-A-RAMA yet!

Jenn Kong, Vans Senior Marketing Manager Asia Pacific Said: “Vans BOWL-A-RAMA is our key skateboarding event in Asia Pacific and we’re excited the event has been elevated to a new level this year with the significantly increased prize purse to AUD 60K to keep attracting the world’s best riders, and by our decision to webcast it live on vans.com and on Fuel TV Australia to grow the global exposure.”

The event series, including the sister event Oakley BOWL-A-RAMA held at Waitangi Park in Wellington, has recently gone through some exciting developments including the World Cup of Skate signing a five year deal, major growth in prize purses and major sponsor alignments “We are stoked to be able to work with the best in the industry to deliver a strong event every year” Comments Chad Ford, Vans BOWL-A-RAMA Director. “The event keeps growing every year and brings with it the biggest skaters in the world. With the support of sponsors, media partners and World Cup of Skate, we are definitely on our way to becoming one of the most iconic skate events in history” He adds.

I went to watch the masters and finals on saturday. I was really impressed! i scored a VIP pass from oakley and had a great view. Pedro killed it, he had some real solid tricks. I’ve never watched a skate comp before and was really interested in the kinds of stuff the skaters were throwing down.
