Southshore Soldiers: Grenade Signature Session Night 2

One of the biggest traditions of Southshore Soldiers has always been bowling night down at Tahoe Bowl. If I could sum ii up into one word, it would be “Hammered”. Every year it always seems to be one of the most fun parties of the year and a definite highlight for all of us. Some of the Grenade crew came down to huck some balls down the lanes with the campers, as others decided to toss 'em back in the bar. Either way, the evening was a blast. With Grenade Soldiers Lane Knaack, Ahmon Stamps, Jimi Tomer, Wyatt Caldwell, Nate Farell and all the Southshore Soldiers crew, this night was setting off right.

And in another South Lake Tahoe Tradition. We had a good ole fashioned fist fight in the parking lot after bowling. Simply priceless. The fight started out good but quickly moved to the dirt.

It was a clean fight that was not a surprise so everyone was chill, except dudes wife that almost got caught in the line of fire. Smart move lady.

Both dudes got rocked but got their licks in and handled their beef. Southshore Style.

Another great bowling night and another legendary party at Tahoe Bowl. Too much fun once again and almost too much beer...almost. I got to get up early tomorrow and shred before my hangover hits, so I'll see you guys in the morning...
