Bum Rushing Austin’s Lizard DIY
11/02/2023
Bum Rush The Spot teamed up with No-Comply skate shop in Austin, Texas, for an unforgettable event at Lizard DIY. This wasn’t your typical best-trick skate jam. The goal here was simply to reward those who were having the most fun—and with 2K in cash being handed out and tons of product getting thrown, there was no shortage of huge smiles at the ditch. Check the pics and stay stoked!

Lizard peanut gallery in full effect. And forget about Waldo—see if you can find Guru Khalsa in the mix
Gavin Austin gets things started with a big ol’ stalefish. Trust us—he slapped that plank
You know Cat from Cherries Wheels is gonna pull up to support the DIY culture
Alder Wilson parallel parks to kick off the curb bash. That’s gotta be worth a few bucks
Curb fans. Now see if you can find Elias Bingham
Justin, Kevin and Cosmo—party line. You can’t fake this type of enthusiasm
Lil’ homie was juicing up the slappy curb
Lord of the yung heads—Igna
When Ben Raybourn says, “It’s jump ramp time,” you damn sure better listen
Kicking out some Metal jams
Ryan Thompson stinkbugs over Ben. These two go way back
Scotty Alexander broke his board on this gap to D, but Igna agrees it was worth it
Stevie and Dylan, coolin’ in the shade. That koozie is older than some of the kids skating the event
Nate Soliz supports his local. Hope you do too
Caught Sieben hiding in the Roger van
Lance was ripping so he came up on a free pair of Cons. That’s how it works
Reese Barton, back lip off the new obstacle onto the Jersey-ish barrier
Stevie and Ben ready to bless the rippers with shoes and stickers
Grab that ca$h
Tony Gomez pulled up—back noseblunt
Not quite a death match, but pretty hectic nonetheless. Elijah and Bobby double down
Whatchoo talkin’ about hamburger? David Langston’s backside flip
Guess we know who’s buying lunch
Dylan Jones gets laid back on a blunt
Reese doesn’t roll blunts, but he’ll slide one if you ask him nicely
An unknown ripper back Smiths the rainbow curb. It’s good to have a little mystery in life
Free hats and free smiles? Stevie delivers
Guru, cash slash in the pocket rocket
Jojo, long-distance channel hopping
Nick Beaudet, nasal grind
Classic guy in the sky—Ryan Thompson, melon to fakie
Always remember to thank your DJ. Thanks for coming through with the jams, Shae!
