Vans Pro Tec Pool Party (PPP)

so unless you live under a rock, or are dead, you’ve probably heard that Vans’ annual Pro Tec pool party has arrived at the one and only combi bowl in Orange, set for this saturday (May 17th) with full web coverage.

THANKFULLY, this year, i sacrificed my scrotum (my personal set of radballs) to attend in person. rather than sitting in my room, smoking copious amounts of herb, glued two inches away from my computer monitor- like i did last year (where i managed to have a one man party).. i’ll be with good friends danimal and murdercity and many others enjoying this years party in person!

again, thanks to my amazing friend danimal over at surf & destroy who somehow (?!) managed a way to find me a ticket, in result- danimal is now the owner of two (2) scrotums and four (4) radballs. next time you see him, ask if he’ll show you… it’s pretty mental.

Baker has a Deathwish

i don’t even know what to type about this video- its fucking insane.. just click here to watch the entire “Baker has a Deathwish” *promo video, including: the boss, lizard king, brayden, theotis beasley, TK, jim greco, dustin dollin, beagle, antwuan dixon, leo romero, sammy baca, neck face, jeff lenoce, hansen, bryan herman + tons more- im just way too stoned to remember right now..

(*& by promo video, they mean 58 minutes of smoking weed, some skating, and other amazingness)

vulgar.

I was never a big Pantera fan…in fact, I didn’t really like metal. Vulgar Display of Power definitely opened my eyes. Pure ass kicking from start to finish. It is an album that if listened to in your car, you will uncontrollably drive faster for some strange reason…

Dimebag RIP.

blowin’ it at Chicken’s.

I few weeks ago I got the invite to Chicken’s bowl. Much like Bellmar’s, this backyard playground is of legendary status. Needless to say I was beyond stoked. As i’m down in the bottom sweeping, I notice that this thing is way gnarlier than any picture would lead you to believe.

We finish cleaning up and I drop in to my first run, which abruptly ends with me sprawled out on the bottom of the deep end. Session over. Awesome.

Oh well, you’ve got to pay to play sometimes and I’ve got my camera, so the night is not a total wash. Took a bunch of cool shots for the rest of the night and when I get home I find out that all of them look like complete ass…dark, out of focus and noisy as all hell. Awesome.

So there you have it, my first and quite possibly my only session at Chicken’s. Life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, right? Well with a lot of tweaking here’s some lemonade. It is super sour, so drink at your own risk.

Off The Wall

my good friend danimal over at surf & destroy gave me a call the other day inquiring of my personal measurements- gee what could this lead to..  so today i cruise over to vans in cypress to try on some clothes.  of course, ‘slowmar’ hassan was in the parking lot on his sled and also on his cell (i fucking see you everywhere dude, what the fuck?!)  anyway, danimal showed me around- and damn dude, vans has their shit together.. makes other action sport companies look like huffy.  good friend, jerry badders was mia- so i snuck in this shot of an old ad of his..

danimal then showed me around- touring the vans ramp & friends, showing showrooms (?), and explaining the simpsons vans and showing me all the displays they had up in the break room.  i guess only 100 pairs of each shoe were released (DAMN! helloooo ebay!) by each artist…can’t really recall how many artists there were in total, but i did remember this douche bag.. love to hate him, or vice versa.. you pick..

(forgive the flair/glare- i didn’t have an assistant handy…)

this is the board in the display- they screen printed each artists simpson face on random shaped decks along with the shoes, and a drawing of the simpsons family… pretty hot shit.

thanks danimal for sharing your area of work, with us here at radballs.

OK USA.

Found some rare footage of a band Chad and I used to be in. I believe this was captured during a tour supporting our debut album entitled, Brick Don’t Hit Back. It’s large file, so please be patient.

MURDER E V E R Y T H I N G

is exactly what slayer motivates me to do each and everytime i put on their ’86 release “Reign in Blood”. Im sure most of you feel thee exact same way… especially while grinding some burly pool coping..
(JESUS LOVES SLAYER!)

THIS is dedication… (and insane)

Angel of Death live in 86..
