Yesterday Mark, Emily, and I checked out the Agenda tradeshow in Huntington Beach and the US Open of Surf. I’ll let them show the good stuff off, but I would rather showcase the bad side.

Let’s start with what not to wear in OC (or anywhere for that matter)…unless you’re a sponsored athlete then you pretty much have to.

After a nice dinner at Habana in Costa Mesa. Mark and I hit up Waterfront for the LIRA clothing x Agenda party as we wanted to keep it mellow for the evening and save our energy and our livers for tonight’s Fatlace party at iLounge (if you plan on attending please arrive “hella” early).

How not to dance…

Here is the first video of Lebron James getting dunked by Xavier College’s 20 year old Jordan Crawford. This happened 2 weeks ago during the Lebron James Skills Academy camp during an after camp pick-up game. This is the first video to be leaked. Nike tried to confiscate all the videos that were taken during the game, but of course someone with a camera got smart and was able to sell to the highest bidder. Later tonight TMZ.com will be releasing another version from a better angle and I will be sure to follow-up to this post with that as well.

Damn how do you get dunked on at your own camp by a college dude that’s only 20?

After a long Formula DRIFT weekend I headed back to Las Vegas for the 2nd weekend in a row. This time it was for some relaxation (somewhat) and a wedding. Luckily, my friend let me stay at his condo on the strip, which made it easier to escape the madness of all the tourists and casino section.

One night was spent at club PURE at Caesar’s Palace as I had a few friends spinning there. This definitely had it’s perks as we were able to stay away from the crowds and also have free bottle service in the DJ booth. Good hanging out with all the DJ’s from DJ Reflex, DJ Hollywood, DJ Ikon, and even Eric D-Lux.

it was a little packed

Reflex after…and more of Reflex at the Fatlace / Agenda party this Friday stay tuned

The wedding was short and sweet and it was off to the reception. Good times and great meeting new people. Vegas can be amazing, but I need to stop gambling so much especially at New York New York and Monte Carlo…I’m gonna stick to the Wynn / Encore and Hard Rock from now on. Lesson learned.

With all the buzz surrounding the X-Games coming up at the end of the month here is a short video that highlights the NOS Energy Drink / Team ACP driver, Andrew “ACP” Comrie-Picard and co-driver Jen Horsey. You may remember them as the car that flipped on it’s roof during last year’s X-Games rally.

During the Formula DRIFT Round 4: All In event in Las Vegas the ID Agency helped coordinate the first annual Formula DRIFT Charity Blackjack Tournament. The tournament was held at the Aliante Hotel and Casino, the official hotel of Formula DRIFT Round 4, and called for drivers, sponsors, friends, and media members to make donations for entry that would go towards a good cause. 36 players joined the tournament including Formula DRIFT drivers champion Tanner Foust, Vaughn Gittin Jr., Chris Forsberg, and Ross Petty, Miss FD Miki Taka, judge Tony Angelo, the voice of Formula D, Jarod DeAnda, and of course a couple staff members and friends.

Generous sponsors donated prizes that would were awarded to the winners including XBOX 360, copies of Forza 2 video game, Puma gift cards, a Meister watch, Oakley sunglasses, Rogue Status Apparel, Attic apparel, and a 2-night stay at the Aliante.

After 3 rounds of competition the final table consisted of 6 players. Steve Choi, staff member of Formula DRIFT, walked away with the 1st place spot and his choice from the prize pool and elected to take the XBOX 360 and Forza 2 video game. 2nd place went to Formula DRIFT driver of the NOS Energy / Maxxis Tire Nissan 350Z and current points leader, Chris Forsberg who chose the PUMA giftcards and also received a Rogue Status apparel package. 3rd place went to ID Agency’s John Pangilinan, who received a Meister watch and Forza 2 game. Overall it was a very successful event for everyone including Formula DRIFT, Aliante, and of course the charity.

Check this video out from IMV Films, spoofing the Ken Block video…it’s pretty funny, but I wouldn’t suggest trying this at home.
