Pink Ribbon Pool Cue.

Down and out… we’ve all been there, most of the time it’s trivial, but there are quite a few of us that are on the receiving end of shit. Misfortune, disease and death does not discriminate and it puts a smile on my face knowing that most skateboarders step up to the occasion when one of our own is in need. Chuck Hults is not a stranger to misfortune and when he makes a product that will benefit someone in need, I am on board. Mr. Hults is a master skateboard maker and crafted a limited edition Deckcrafters Pink Ribbon Pool Cue to donate the profits to the Grind For Life organization. If you are unfamiliar with Grind For Life, they provide financial assistance to cancer patients that need to travel in order to receive treatment. When I purchased the benefit deck, I had every intention to just hang it on my wall, but once I had it in hand, I knew it needed to be brought to life. I put it together and had a few friends take it for a spin…

2012 Photographic Year in Review.

Radballs 2012 Photographic Year in Review

As I’m going thru all these photos from 2012, I’m really wishing I would have done a better job of keeping them organized… oh well. Here’s a recap of some of the things that went down this year. Don’t think I shot as much as previous years, but hopefully that will change for 2013. Thank you to everyone that has wasted their life looking at the site and also, thanks to Lightner, KB, Sam, Russ, Brant, Hippie Steve, Cam, Ozzie and everyone else that has pitched in, no matter how big or small.
