Girl/Antihero Beauty and the Beast Demo Photos!!

In case you missed the mayhem at the Girl/Antihero demo on May 20th, here’s the next best thing to being there.

carroll_early_grab.jpg
It takes a real OG to make an early grab method look this stylish. Carroll definitely fits the description.

Alex Olson is going to be a fantastic pro. Front Feebs.

ba_180_switch_crooks.jpg
Brian Anderson was there. Not like you could miss him. No one blurred the line between Girl and Antihero more than Brian. 180 switch crooks.

Matt Beach was there too. He actually skates for Skate Mental but it’s all family on this tour. Switch Tre.

Matt came through with one of the biggest bangers of the demo. Frontside flip Tailslide stuck real solid.

Frank Gerwer, evidently, has a large nose. That’s just what we hear. Noseblunt slide.

Ship captain Rick Howard crook to fakie.

koston_wallie_frontside_360.jpg
Eric Koston has managed to miss demo appearances 2 times in the past. People were more than ready to see the man in person, and he definitely delivered. What more can you say? That’s why he’s Koston. Wallie FS 360. Next time you’re standing at the top of the 7, think about how hard this really is.

malto_switch_backlip.jpg
If Sean Malto isn’t the future, he’s definitely a big part of it. Switch backlip.

mccrank_switch_five_o.jpg
Sorry Goldman, but McCrank kills. Legend status for sure.

tnt_kickflip_frontboard.jpg
TNT was all over the course. KF Front board prior to giving Tommy the evil eye.

After the demo, the madness really started. Nothing stirs up a crowd like a good product toss.

Colin, we thought you had this…

All of the dudes were great about signing. A few guys walked out with legendary autographs all together on a single tee. You know who you are.

Don’t you hate it when you’re standing inches from a skateboard legend and you just have to get a few last text messages in?

Better get used to this, buddy.

All in all, this may have been the best demo so far at The Dept. Rarely does a tour come through that features 6 former SOTYs and such a diverse crew of shredders. We hope everyone had fun and we’ll see you next time.
