As warnings of the approaching Hurricane rose to catastrophic proportions, so did the contagious anticipation of the Titans of Skate signing at CCS Garden State in Paramus, New Jersey.

It seemed a fitting juxtaposition of two seemingly unrelated events. Diehard fans had begun to line-up for the signing as early as 7AM just as fear-stricken hurricane watchers had started scrambling for batteries, canned foods and any other item that happened to be in stock.

Back at the hotel in Newark where all the Street League skaters were staying, the vibe was slightly different. Not only had the news of the hurricane left skaters with the realization that they could be stranded in Newark for days to come, the Street League Championship was bumped from Sunday to Saturday. Suddenly, the day before practice became the day of practice, and the day of practice became the day of the signing.

We picked up Ryan Sheckler, Shane O’Neill, Chaz Ortiz, Nyjah Huston and Mike Mo who stepped up and stepped in for P. Rod at the last minute, and made our way to the Garden State Mall in a glossy, white stretch limo. Despite the gnarly circumstances and high anxieties, everyone remained psyched and happy as hell.

The crew made a cinematic entrance to screaming fans and proceeded to power through a burly 3 hour signing. Have a watch and see how it all happened.
