Typical Culture 5 Year Anniversary Photos.

Typical Culture Skate Zine have been killing it for 5 years and celebrated with an epic mash sesh at the Bread Bowl in the Sector 9 warehouse this past Saturday. The wood bowl was being handled by rippers young and old, Bull Taco was grilling while Chango Rey and Space Wax provided the sound track. Typical Culture and San Diego are doing it right, here’s to another 5 years!

2013 Photographic Year in Review.

It seems like every year I am shooting less that the previous year. Maybe I’m skating more, maybe I’m just lazy. Either way, life has gotten in the way of keeping this site updated regularly. Hoping to change that in 2014 and get back to shooting and posting more. Until then, here is some of what went down – the 2013 Photographic Year in Review.

Thank you to everyone that still supports the site and keeps coming back. Here’s to 2014 – Cheers!

The Crazy Kyle
Slappy Slaughter.

The Slappy. A fundamental maneuver that I hope every skateboarder has done in their life. It’s not a hard thing to do, but it seems to have fizzled out with some of the younger generation of skaters. So, in honor of one of the best feelings on a skateboard, we laid down a bunch of parking blocks at Pink Widow Distribution in Fullerton CA and The Crazy Kyle Slappy Slaughter commenced.

The master of ceremonies, Crazy Kyle, takes the slaughter blocks up a level.

Kyle and Ron Yerman do work before doing work.

Matt Gaudio and Hailey Villa at Pink Widow were kind enough to host the event and put in a ton of work to get it going. CW Dunn and Nicole Dodson came in hot and built all of the ramps and banks, and we also built up a few forms and poured some custom parking blocks. A few other obstacles showed up and made one of the best fun zones I have skated in a while.

Then gives Chuck Hults a taste of what happens if you try to barge her spot.

Tristan Rennie can do slappys and does them well, but opts for a frontside flip over the channel instead.

Custom parking block action

In addition to hosting the event, Hailey Villa, screenprinted up some fresh Slappy Slaughter designs for anyone that brought a shirt in.

Jon Tucker approved.

Although this wasn’t meant to be a contest, we thought it appropriate to award some dudes that were killing. There were so many people destroying the place, but the custom, high quality trophies were awarded to the ones that seemed to be having the most fun out there and keeping the slappy alive.

Mark Zamudio came out and manned the grill to raise money for the Fullerton Skatepark Association. Spank grip was also out hooking up stencils and DJ Taylor Forney spun the heaviest jams all day long.

No Radballs event would be complete without this dude. Kevin Burke, wall ride transfer.

We couldn’t have asked for a better day with better people. Thanks to everyone that came out and had a good time. Thanks to Matt, Hailey, Mark, CW, Nicole and everyone else that put in the hours to make this amazing day happen. Specials thanks to those that donated product to give out, Silly Girl Skateboards, Hurt Life Skateboards, Deckcrafters, Original Betty Skateboard Co., spank., olloclip and Anaheim Skateboards. Also want to say thank you to our Colorado friends at Bad Egg for the inspiration and last but not least, Crazy Kyle and his love of slappys.

Parting shot. This is what happens when you say “one more time…”

Austin Poynter Ripping His Local Skateparks

I met Austin Poynter a few times to shoot some photos at some of his local spots. A few weeks ago I wanted to go skate the new Oceanside Alex Road Skatepark. I hit up Austin and he did not have school that day so it worked out great. Watching him skate is always a pleasure. His style is so smooth and effortless. The future is bright.

New Oceanside Alex Road Skatepark.

Checked out the new Oceanside Alex Road Skatepark over the weekend. Built by California Skateparks, it has a little bit for everyone. Small little flow, ledges and rails and even a little vert. It’s crowded as hell so you might want to let it die down for a bit before checking it out.

The Dirty Dollar.

We headed towards LA in search for a few gems. After being shut down a few times we ended up at The Dirty Dollar for what we though was going to be a mellow session. Turned out to be one of the heaviest sessions I’ve seen in a while.
