The good dudes down south are turning 3 and having a rager under the bridge at Washington Street this Saturday, January 7. Art/Photo show, BBQ, music and good times are guaranteed. See you down there.
2011 is over and I’m sure most of you are over 2011. It’s been a rough year for most, but one thing for sure is that skateboarding made it a lot better. Skated a ton of amazing pools, took road trips to Arizona and Fresno and got to skate and photograph a bunch of awesome people. Here is some of what went down.

Thank you to everyone that takes time out of their day to visit the site. Here’s to a better 2012!
Ozzie, Shawn and I made a trip up to Fresno earlier this week. Met up with Peacock, Ryan and Adrina for a whirlwind pool mission. 6 pools in 6 hours…epic to say the least.
On the road
Pulled into Fresno around 10am and were in this backyard within minutes.
Shawn at pool #2
Pebble Technicians
Ryan rips a BS ollie over the stairs at #4
Ozzie, FS Box at Ray’s
Peacock over the loveseat at the infamous Hogan’s Pool
I even managed to put down the camera and get a truck on
Sun was setting, so we said our goodbyes, stopped for some food and by 5:30pm we were on the road heading home. Super long day, but totally worth it. Huge thanks to Josh, Ryan and Adrina for taking us around and sharing some epic gems.
Ozzie has his story and more photos here: http://ozzieausband.wordpress.com/2011/12/28/fresno-and-the-adventures-of-handypants/
Went out and looked at a few the day before Christmas. They all sucked.
Stink Hole.
Hesh Hole.
Wet Institute.
This happened.
Rob drained his pool, so we asked if we could come check it out. It was not friendly.
The Skateboard Mag has The Other Ones video on their site, featuring insanity by Ben Raybourn, Ryan Reyes, Jaws and a whole gang of heavy rippers.
