Am Scramble 2021 Premiere Photos
3/17/2022
After a Two-year hiatus and much anticipation, Burnett recruited some of the heaviest hitters to date for the 2021 Am Scramble. With lifted COVID restrictions and a few pallets of free beverages from our friends at New Belgium, this year's crew also got the official premiere treatment. The crowd in Venice Beach was a beauty to behold, with teammates, scenemates and even a few babies trippin' on the fresh batch of Scramblers. Scroll through to see who made it out for the big show. —Alex Papke
First visitor of the night, Mr. Rye Beres—early as ever
Pro tip: always allow an extra hour to test audio. You never know how the night is going to end up
Walking into the venue, we get our first look at the evening's photo show

Featuring one of my personal favorites––the couch SOTY himself, photo by Rye
Of course we got free magazines as far as the eye can see, alongside enough stickers to cover your folks' full-body mirror
Ewan made the trek all the way down from Sac-Town, and even brought pizza! Hope he got 'em at the end of the drive...
As preparations were made, the event staff was busy putting their monthly earnings on the line
Did we mention we were able to score Brian Brown as the bartender? Serving up Gen Z’s wet dream, free hard seltzer
As attendees started to pile in, they went straight for the free product, of course. At least kids are still reading these things
And lucky enough, Jhancarlos was able to smuggle in Mike’s favorite Brazilian beans, Juan Valdez, from across the border. While Matt B did an excellent job TMing this trip, he was unfortunately not given any coffee
It’s always amazing to see Taliesin and Ansel at these things. Hambone is definitely very proud looking down
Masterlensman Will McCarthy came all the way from Texas just to jump on the Rams bandwagon
First round Scrambler Tyson Peterson brought the pack while new guy Christian Henry found the only spot in the building to charge your phone
John Gardner came correct with some printed tips on how to step back and relax. When was the last time any of you read a book, after all?
While grabbing a forgotten skateboard on his way out of the Homies premiere, Kevin Shealy accidentally tripped on a cord and focused a brand new projector. It was only appropriate we fuck this one up and take a photo of it. Rye was not happy
Ewan wouldn’t stop getting in my ear the whole night about how Shintaro had the sickest clip in the video. And of course, I totally missed the clip he was talking about during the first showing
At the Bunnyhop premiere, I was able to capture what I thought was all three of the Herrera brothers. To my surprise, there is a fourth and he definitely doesn’t stray far from the mold
Shane Farber, popular target for a sticker slaps...or four
Still riding the high from getting cover of the year, Marco couldn’t say no to a party with free seltzers
If K-White's in the building, you know he's getting bottle service
After you see the new footage Christian is cooking up, you'll be gettin' him a bottle too
Not only do Gage and Thrasher Dan have matching 'staches, but they got the matching outfits going too
Once Burnett has the mic, you can’t slow the man down
Ansel and Taliesin got VIP tickets for this one
Yes, it feels crazy to see this many people inside an indoor venue after two years
Carl and Rickk, very stoked to see what the next generation has in store
And by Rickk's reaction after, I would say the kids are alright
You’re bound to see way more of these three in the years to come
As is tradition at these things, all of the photos get new homes. Burndog is keepin' this Susie sequence for the office
While Steak got his hands on some gold from Ronnie Kessner
Not even five minutes after the video, Krazy Frankie is already signing autographs for fans. Gardner makes sure The Mafia gets some shine this evening too
Kris and Robert bring back something for the ambiance in the Palace store
Once the photos came down, things started getting kind of crazy for Mitch and Mango
At that point, security was pretty fed up with our antics. So naturally, we had to flick up one more time on our way out
And just like that, cover boy Frankie Decker calls shotgun and another year is wrapped up for the biggest event in amateur skateboarding. If you’ve been sleeping under a rock, don’t stress. You can Meet the Scramblers from this year playing on the site now. Keep your eyes peeled for the full vid to follow. Now, who’s on the roster for next year?
