A little recap with SoCal Skateshop from this past Saturday’s Pink Motel Pool Party.
The third annual Sheckler Foundation Skate for a Cause was held this past Saturday at Etnies Skatepark in Lake Forest. This event raised over $57,000 for The A.skate Foundation. A.Skate is a nonprofit organization that helps autistic children through skateboarding. Russ took a break from the festivities and shot a couple photos.

I was fortunate enough to make it down to Bucky Lasek’s on Sunday for the Bowl-B-Q extravaganza. It was pissing down rain the whole drive down south, but somehow the clouds opened up and shredding commenced. I shot a bit in between Primo beers, Rockstars, and Longboard Ice Cream. Huge thanks to the Lasek family for the hospitality.
Quick vid of an epic night at the Pink Motel this past Saturday, October 1, 2011. A round of high fives go out to Ruffo and everyone that made it happen. Thanks to JFA, One Less Zero and all the other bands for providing the soundtrack.
The Pink Motel is one place I never thought I would have the opportunity to skate, but that changed Saturday night. I weaseled my way into Ruffo’s birthday rager with Bill Bill, Seatrell and Tony. Ruffo and family hooked up a pool, tunes, beer and tacos…couldn’t have been a better setting. Smiles from ear to ear on everyone.
Happy birthday, Ruffo

Sorry, I only shot a few, didn’t want to stop skating. Huge thanks to Ruffo, friends and family for an amazing time.
Still ripping harder than ever and one of the raddest dudes to skate with.
A reunion for the infamous Pipeline Skatepark was held last Saturday. Huge turnout of guys that used to localize the park back in the 80’s and a bunch of new groms ripping it. Sam, Ozzie and I hit a few pools before heading to the Upland Skatepark to check out the festivities. I handed off the camera to Ozzie and this is what he got.
