Way To Be, Son!
Went skating the other day with my son and his friend Miles. I took them to a ditch I had seen a while back—basically I wanted to see if it was good or not. Had to clean it as the water was still flowing but it definitely has potential. Anyway, I let the boys try there hand at skate photography with my G9 and this is what my son came up with. Not bad.
The Stagoo Invitational
On Saturday June 7, 2008 a legit pro/am event went down at the Encinitas YMCA (first pro event at the Y in over 15 years) thanks to the hard work of skateboarding legend Steve Steadham. For a non-publicized event the skating was sick and the attendance was decent.
I'm Back
Been a long time since I made with blogging. Do you love me more now? Probably not. Anyway, went to the Encinitas YMCA the other day for a skate and this scene was going off in the "Rotten Bowl." Kids using the waterfall to ollie boards. Insane. Oh, shot this bitch with my I Phone.
When Pros Fan Out On Legendary Pros
Was skating the Encinitas kidney a while back with Chris Miller (one of the best, most stylish skaters of all time) when Jake Brown (a phenom and possible legend himself) cruised up with an old Schmitt Stix Chris Miller deck and a sharpy asking for a "Miller Time" signature. Pretty hot if you ask me—pro's respecting the legends? Damn, right.
New Lost Episodes Starting Next Week
When I was in Hawaii for the Cholo's Quiksilver bowl jam I ran into Locke from lost at the local Starbucks. He was right behind me in line wearing a RVCA shirt. I didn't have my camera on hand so I ran back out to the car snatched it, and ran back to ask him if it would be alright to shoot a pic. "Sure thing." If you didn't know, they film all the episodes in Hawaii.
Deck Of The Week: Jason Jessee
I've been lagging still. Nothing new to report so I had to dig up a few gems. Jason Jessee ripped the Fallbrook ramp harder than anyone back in 1988-89. I don't remember it, but I shot this photo of him there in '89. Jason also had the top selling skateboard in those years and I have one. Sweet!
GnarGnar
Okay, I got this weird thing from Deluxe today and although I really want to check it out I'm not sure if the VHS machine is still working. So yeah, GnarGnar with Gonz, Van Wastell, Hosoi, Alex Olson, and Dan Drehobl. Sounds pretty sweet but I can't just pop it into my computer. Maybe you still have VHS, if so, give GnarGnar a look.
Ahh, Ol' Dirty Crooks Way Back
It's tough being cool. Or at least getting there.
Childress at the Charleston Hangar back in 1991. Looking like one of them Vert Jocks he so often pokes fun at these days.
Phelper!!!!
Found this photo of the Illustrious Jake Phelps from a contest at the Visalia YMCA in 1991. I was a spaz photog back than.
Oh, I guess I still am.
