Many skaters stay away from the desert areas because of the heat. However, I have– more than– a few friends that go wherever the pools are. Their thinking is quite the opposite of those that sit by the ‘beach cities’ & complain. I have pool pals back East that drive several hours & shovel snow in order to ride pools. I guess its simply a matter of being spoiled. Lets face it…California skaters have a ‘golden ticket’. Its all here & always has been. Sometimes though, you must earn it! Recently, a great crew from Orange County & the surrounding areas, got together & drove out into the heat of Coachella Valley. They cleaned, swept & prepared the pools, then tore it up. The heat was a secondary consideration & the bullnose coping took a brutal pounding that day. I saw more smiles & progression than I had seen in quite some time. That is really what its all about…isn’t it? Skate-Ozzie

Synchronicity IV

I’m 26 years old and I haven’t had a real job for almost two years. My days have been spent lugging around a bag of extremely old and very abused camera equipment; Allowing me to document a vast movement of eclectic individuals and the inspiration they’re bringing to the table right now. I feel very blessed to do what I’m doing, and in turn- having this progress into my ‘job’ as a natural flow. Here’s a handful of recent moments in time I’ve been fortunate enough to capture and share with you..

I’ll be posting more of these moments on here in the next day or two..

Jodie Foster’s Army.

Going at it for close to 30 years and still ripping.
