The official shoe launch demo at Sacramento’s B street skatepark and the “Welcome to Outerspace” party in SF for Omar Salazar was indeed a memorable two-day affair for the history books. One of Sacto’s best brought together lots of great skating, skaters and friends from several eras, plenty of bro hugs, lots of free adult beverages, free grub served by martians and live heavy metal sets powered by Shrinebuilder and Earthless. Be sure to check the coverage from Thrasher, The Skateboard Mag, TWS, and SJ’s Tiltmode Army for visual recaps.

As part of the celebration with this revered release of Omar’s first signature shoe, Nike SB has created a mini-site featuring photos and video clips with Mr. Outerspace himself  which was directed by Jon Humphries and Jason Hernandez. Tune in and trip out.

And don’t forget, with the release of Omar Salazar’s new shoe, Nike SB and SKATEDAILY.net are offering up five free separate pairs of the Zoom Omar Salazar SB to those of you out there who have absolutely busted up your shoes all for the sake of skating.

In case you missed it, head over to the DC7zine site where they’ve posted a solid gallery of images from day 4 of the team’s Tonic Tour with the heads and the action from FTC’s truly one-of-a kind “in store” skate contest.  Appropriately named “For The Cash”, last week’s event brought together many of skateboarding’s legends, top pros and up-and-comers for a wild time within the tight floorspace of the renowned skateshop. With video screens set up out front on the sidewalk and out back (with free PBR), there was plenty of good viewing area to keep the crowd hyped. Peter Ramondetta took home the win with red hot ams Ishod Wair landing in second and Evan Smith in third. Rightfully so, all three of these guys skated home with briefcases full of cash.
