REPO: 2HIP MEET THE STREET

Photos / write up by Kyle Emery Peck

I recently had the great pleasure of attending the infamous 2-Hip Meet the Street jam put on by none other than 2-Hip’s Ron Wilkerson. This year, the jam was held on Treasure Island. The setting was a bit different compared to where the last jam was held four years ago. The atmosphere was much more laid back, and the layout allowed for a bigger ramp setup. Everyone could also get way more loose without worrying about noise complaints, police, etc. The weekend of the jam also happened to be the two days in the year that the Blue Angles do their air show over the bay in San Francisco. So that meant that while the jam was going on, the Blue Angels would fly in formation directly overhead. But instead of boring you with a play by play rundown, I’m just going to give you some of the highlights that I observed. Can’t wait for the next one! 

Dig Photo Issue flipper Joel Hulsey announced the pro finals because, according to himself, “I was too drunk to qualify.”

Baygame homie Nick Black was injured, but taking rebel runs during pro finals, so Mike ‘Bubba’ Krnaich took it upon himself to regulate by hurling 90mph bottles of water at him. Nick was also a little drunk and fell into the baby pool double next to the van setup.

Everyone that tried to backflip the step-up fell trying.  

Kurtis Elwell won.

There was no box jump.

And finally, although people were falling left and right, no one was seriously injured.  

Congratulations on 25 years 2-Hip!
