Bullet.

This is why Pocket Pistols rule.

I’m sure most of the younger generation of skaters couldn’t care less about the graphics on their boards. Lucky for old dudes like me that there are a few companies out there still doing it up proper. Pocket Pistols Skateboards happens to be one of them…and one of the very few that are screenprinting their boards instead of putting shitty heat transfers on them. To top it off they bust out with stuff like this…1980’s Cruz Missile Concave Santa Cruz blanks with a Natas spoof graphic by Matt French. These things are limited to 60 so good luck getting one.

Romoeba.

It’s raining and I don’t have a garage QP or a parking block, so I edited some video we shot back in November.

Scott, Brian, Chris, Eddie, Me, Anthony, Dave, Ben, Julie

(Yes, I know I misspelled “romoeba” in the vid. it’s not even a real word anyways.)

Rip the Ripper Art Show.

Sorry for lagging on this post…but better late than never. The main reason I went to ASR was to check out the Rip The Ripper Art Show. I figured it would be pretty sick, but it was more than I expected. Took my little point and shoot camera and fired off some quick shots. I didn’t even take pics of everything and my pictures don’t do them justice. SkateOne will be releasing a book containing every piece in the near future. Sorry I didn’t get every artist’s name…

Palm Springs 1/10/09

Palm Springs is such a sick park…killer flow, nude bowl replica, and street hits. The park is now free and unsupervised, but the fuzz definitely patrols the area.

Headed out with Chris to meet Tige, Ben, Scoops, T&R, KB, John, Steve and some others. Had perfect weather and some ripping was going down!
