obviously

so some shit's been going down, for most of us, recently, and some shit's about to go down tonight. I've got loads to post. So check it. soon.

here was my kitcken at one of it's finer moments. it got pretty fucking bad at times.

ice cream man

this was like 8 pm.

how they do it culver.

one week of shredding(largest post ever)

So as few of you know, I got hurt about a month ago playing around with favorite toy in the world. So a couple days after being extremely bummed, I met up with brandon and cano.

They were with their homie from Jarold Hawaii.

It was at rite-aid where I met them, which is where I got broke off over a month ago now. I was with them from that night 'til Jarold left for home a week and a half later. Well Except for this pre-thanksgiving dinner I had with my family. I picked up my camera after the first night I met up, so I missed a couple good shots, but still enjoyed my time spent. Anyway, let's get to the good stuff.

Here's Cano at a chill yet really sketchy spot. He's doing a fakie frontal flip, on a hip, going straight into PCH. The hip was chill, PCH isn't.

Brandon skated it as well, but with me being on crutches, it was hard to get around for different angles and shit, so I never snapped a good one. This was the only spot I didn't see Jarold skate. He filmed.

We went to the sole-tech bowl, which would've been way fun because the pool was empty. I've never seen it empty before that day.

here's jarold doing a gnarly rock 'n roll.



We went to Rocket bowl just long enough to light it up, and for me to snap this next one of Jarold. Ryan Friday and Regis were there, pretty drunk, a cop drove by and they dipped the fuck out. so we were over it.

5-0
here's Brandon at every spot. I was doing the same thing, but instead of having a board, I had a camera, and crutches.

Here's cano warming up.

and here's Jarold getting down.

switch heel
I think I tried to get him to do it again, or he started trying another trick, but this was the result.

I forgot. before Jarold came up, we went to this poll jam.



but back to the week with jarold

we went to this spot. Jarold warmed up.


Then he started throwing on these kickflip back lips. it was crazy, especially watching from a crutching perspective.

We just tried to take Jarold to all the spots we knew of, or at least could think of.

I remembered this rail spot.
smith pop out.

He was way psyched on that clip. But not as psyched as the clip he got at the next spot, when he surprised even himself. It was rad.
kickflip.

told you.

The whole time he was out here we always talked about going to this spot in irvine. When we finally decided to go, there was way to much traffic on PCH, even going into santa monica. So we went later that night, after much contemplation.

though we stoped for gas, and ended up having a parking lot jam.
Brando has got really good switch flips.

and J-rold's got real good 3flips.

then at last, the short drive down south to orange. brando and I sat in the back that whole week 'n a half or whatever. the whole time there was this pile of "shit" between us. it was pretty funny.


Brando had to handle some business prior to any decent skateboarding.

But, man did he come through.

lots of good times, lots of good laughs, mostly at cano(I love you). definitely a short time period to be remembered.

keep 'em comin'

I'm coming to realize that I've got a lot of miscellaneous photos the world needs to see. ok, I know there's just those few of you who are reading this. enjoy.

while you wait

we were all at the hospital waiting for sam's kid to be born. Grae that is. So we played monopoly.


Then I got bored.

Grae was not born before we all had to leave that night after 1am.

more

I just want to put some more shit up since I'm too lazy to put an article together.

A while ago, my good friend Wade, and his lady Nikki came up for a weekend and we got drunk at a photographers house.



I was in SD for a weekend a while ago and made the mistake of not seeing my friend Sarah, so I met up with the homies.



I went to culver city park with Regis and Cano which it one of the sickest parks, in the morning anyway.

random

Well I know it has been quite some time. This was due to my lack of shooting. Now that I can't skate, I've been shooting much more. There's a real good post coming shortly. But for know, wrap your mind around this.


I went to the movies with a friend.



Saw a bunch of people on bicycles.



Had a fire.



Peeped a Caddy.



Drank some water.

yeah?

September 9th eh? Is that how long it's been since I've gave a fuck about this web log? I suppose that is a good thing. I have been busy with a lot more important shit lately. Working, composing, skateboarding. Mostly skateboarding. Living the dream 'n shit. But in the very recent past, I've shot some good shit. Only there's been no time for the post production. Soon though, I will indulge you with eye candy. Including a story to follow.

Stay tuned...

oh yeah

I forgot about the time when dime and l'erik were up, dimetrus spotted this rail that looked sick. it was way too steep to skate, but zack decided to kickflip over it at mach.

santa monica

I went down to santa monica with zack, johnny, and nate, to skate the high school. I didn't really even skate. but they sure did. johnny and I played a game of skate, while zack and nate did the same. after our game, johnny went off by himself and ollied his first 11. came back to tell us, so I had him do it two more times to get this shot. which could be better, but at least it's better than the first.



they all proceeded to skate the blue pond gap. which I personally dislike, due to the quality of the ride up and landing. I shot some photos there with my film camera. should come out pretty good. I'll scan 'em when I develop the film.

wow

I thought I lagged before. shit I suck at this. Erik and Dimetrus came up for a weekend. Went to our show, did some skateboarding. but not much. While we were going to do a sound check at the whisky, Derm and Erik skated down to west hollywood 12. Erik broke his board, and Dime rolled his ankle, bad, the outside way.

anyway, by a spur of the moment decision, I drove down to sd behind dimetrus when they left to stay a couple days. I shot this time laps of Erik at Mt. Helix while I was on the phone for about 20 minutes.

Back in Business

After a long awaited settlement in my situation, I've settled. For the time being of course. Got a couple new characters in my story currently, one in particular. But most importantly, for you anyway, the reader, I got my computer set-up with internet and all. I've been able to post this whole time, just not from my work station. Therefor no photos. Until now.

Here are a few that are definitely old, but definitely good.








^This is definitely my new favorite photo.
