Rowan premiered his new pro part next to his favorite ledge spot in Newcastle. From local pros, famous filmers, friends, family and his crew at the Crail camp, the Lad rung in the promotion with plenty of back up. Australian ripper and photographer Bryce Golder caught it all.

Walkin' up, we got a classic premiere view of friends and fans lurking outside. This time it's at Rowan's favorite spot—Civic

Starting the night off, we got Tai, Digby and Ben on the welcoming committee

What's that old adage about skating together and staying together? Corey and Ruby could tell ya

Even before the vid dropped, everyone was all smiles

A crowd assembles

 Someone's nervous...

"Remember your pro party?! Me neither"

Got a homie reppin' the mag—always a good sign. Now, let's start this thing!

Get him up! Now where's the board?!

Looks like Sean and Niels got the goods

Let's see that graphic, Sam!

Give everyone a chance to get their pics

Now we get to the part where everyone tell Rowan congrats. Starting with Newcastle's finest

Broken hand, but still crushin' cans. Dad built this one different

Thanks, Mum!

 The Davis family, everybody

All love, all night

POV: "I was there when Rowan Davis went PRO for Girl Skateboards"

 Black hat mandatory: dress code was strictly enforced

Who better to wear the hat?!

How about some more hugs?

How long is he gonna hang onto that can? Who cares, Raph and Ben need a pic with the new pro 

When did you get here?

"For the story"

"Have you seen that new Girl joint?!"

Manchild wonders what happens when it gets to the middle 

Guess we'll find out

First pro signing really makes it official

Now you gotta sign the rest!

Nogs walkin' away a happy customer

If it ain't in print, did it ever really happen? Sam Frost brought the Polaroid

Girl, Girl, Girl, Adelaide and Breezy rolled through

Come sundown!

This is also a wrap party for John and Rowan

 "We did it!"

Everyone's walkin' outta there with a wall hanger as we move to the afterparty

"Blog this!"

I owe you one, Sam!

Down for life

"Last name Rowley"

Cheers, Geoff!

Cheers to that tab, too

 Chips up!

HELP!

Clog the feed

Tight trucks, loose nights. Eli's fine with both

Don't snitch when Rowan's lookin' for his last am setup

Looks like it's time to make moves

Our last venue's a little more DIY

Rowan's got a flair for empty buildings

"I'm sittin' this one out"

And that's it, everyone's had enough of my flash. Congrats again, Lad! Everyone, go watch that part!
