QUOTE OF THE MONTH: "Just wanted to say thanks for making these movies. Growing up I skated and was always watching skate videos like the 411's, old bones brigade, shortys videos and stuff to get me pumped before or when I couldn't go skate. That's what these videos feel like to me. So thanks, and Peace." -Dan W. 2011

M.E. is officially the first Pipe Classic competitor to win both First Place AND the honor of glassblowers� choice. But this was not the only first � There were naked women in the gallery, an actual functioning guitar as a competitor�s entry and the most amout of work ever completed by one competitor in the 12 hours allotted.The Bern Gallery would like to thank Willy & Wally from Glass Torch Technologies. They have far surpassed any previous level of sponsorship. This year�s donation exceeded $10,000 in prizes and without them there would be no Pipe Classic.

Borosyndicate, a Pipe Classic 5 sponsor, also bought this competitor an airplane ticket at the last miniute. It was great to see the love in our industry when it�s needed most. Bern Gallery would also like to thank all of this year�s competitors, Kurt B., Eron Ziel, Aaron Sokol, Project Exposure Magazine, The Pipe Classic committee and all of this year�s judges.As always, NOTSOX productions is producing a movie of Pipe Classic 5.
