My son patiently waited a whole month for his birthday present. All he wanted this year was to go to the Street League event. He knows that money is tight and it was a big maybe, but he hung in there and we made it happen. We enjoyed all of the different events such as taking pictures in front of the Biggest Skateboard, the free DC bags with DC hand towels, free snow cones served in DC cups, playing beanbags toss for prizes, signing the super suede bull, taking pictures in front of the Rob Dyrdek backdrops, and purchasing some of the many DC and Street League logo items, but....During the break before the finals, we ran into one of the staff members who asked us if we wanted to sit on the floor to watch the skaters a little closer. So she gave us some wrist bands and asked us to follow her to the floor. We sat right in front of the stage. We took lots of pics and were within feet of all the skaters and Rob himself! Well it turns out that the wrist bands were actually VIP wrist bands of some sort. We got into a VIP room where we were able to have free Monster energy drinks and refreshments. My son and I were star struck when Rob walked into the room and was taking a couple of pictures with people. unfortunately he had to leave so we didn't get our chance, but my son did get a picture with Professional Skate boarder Eric Koston, and Big Cat from Fantasy Factory. The icing on the cake was that we got to go back stage and eventually got a picture and an autograph with Rob, and we got to talk to his dad Gene. All in all....Pretty much the best day of my son's 13 yr old life! Thanks Rob....Great Event!!!!
