After a weeks worth of rain, everyone was ready to skate. It’s Aaron’s birthday today, so went stopped by and got some grinds in. Only a few shots…

Ben is the gnarliest dude ever to watch skate. He was killing it all day (and prob still is as I type this) but this bail shot sums up how insane he really is.
This rain is seriously destroying my bank account; I have nothing to do- so I buy records. Yay. The upside, is that I found this limited picture disc of Slayers Live Undead album. It’s ridiculous. I almost jumped out my window while listening to it. I decided not to though. I then proceeded to break every single object in my household- my roommates will not be happy…
I think in an attempt to make them happy- and forget about the destroyed house, I’m going to get this printed and framed to put above our fireplace. I don’t think either of them appreciate Saved By the Bell- nor do they Slayer…But I’m pretty sure even my dad would laugh at this- and he doesn’t even know who Slater is. Rain rain go away I can’t listen to Slayer anymore today (or I will take over my entire neighborhood wearing WWII gear and will equip myself with a bayonet just for added fun).
Found an old Thrasher from ’89 in a box and pretty stoked to see a handful of these guys are still skating today. I’ve also been fortunate to get a session with a few of them, like this dude.
Mark is a ripper and truly an inspiration. By the way, he is not riding Trackers anymore, but still doing these sick one footed tail blocks well into his 40s.
Some of the Flip team will be down at SoCal Skateshop doing a signing this Saturday, Jan 23. Geoff Rowley, Lance Mountain, Rune Glifberg, Louie Lopez, Curren Caples and others are expected to be there.

Went out to Channel Street with Jake and Russ on Saturday. A bunch of rippers down there as always. Here a quick vid of Mark, Ronnie, (name?), Jake and Yamo.
Huge thanks to everyone down there for letting me film.
