Camtest 2012 Recap.

The 4th Annual Camtest was held at the infamous Pink Motel this past Saturday. Hundreds of people showed up from all over the country to give back to our skateboard brother, Dave Tuck, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer back in September. Over $8,000 was raised and all of it went to Dave to help pay for his treatment to beat cancer.

Gonzales Pool RIP.

The sad day has finally come and Gonzales pool is no more. Luckily, we were able to hit it a few times before it’s demise, I hope some of you did too.

RIP. Stole this from The Shrine. They have some sick photos up on their site as well, http://theshrinefuzz.tumblr.com/ Thanks Freakfighter.

2011 Photographic Year in Review.

2011 is over and I’m sure most of you are over 2011. It’s been a rough year for most, but one thing for sure is that skateboarding made it a lot better. Skated a ton of amazing pools, took road trips to Arizona and Fresno and got to skate and photograph a bunch of awesome people. Here is some of what went down.
