B-ham Bowlrider Contest
The Alabama oldschoolers have cooked up a major bowl event for 2007. The new pool & park in Alabaster was featured in Bacon's recent Southern Slaughter video.
SkateAlabama.com insiders say Bacon's Benji Galloway is confirmed for the event, and numerous other pros will attend. Given that it's the weekend following the Florida Pool Party, they are probably correct. This could be a huge event.
