Got word that our dear friend, pool pal, and all around good dude, Ozzie Ausband, took a mean digger today at Venice and broke his collar bone. Please send some positive vibes his way.
A rare shot of Ozzie skating something other than a pool.
Box at Bruce Brown
Mancave
Heal up quick, buddy!
Russ sent over a few shots from Burger’s…from a different angle.
Jake Reuter, back smith over the box
Brian Brannon, deathboxing
Mr. Brannon and the rest of boys in JFA will be destroying Slidebar tonight.
KB checked out this Sunset a while back and we sat on it for a bit. It was pretty small and the loveseat was a big one. The day we decided to give it a roll the neighbors were out back doing yard work, so we knew it was going to be a quick hit. Burke noticed some ghosted letters on the side wall that read “Thank You Jesus”. Not sure if it was tile that had been removed or just a sign from the heavens. Whatever it was, we came in quick, laid down some grinds, and got the HELL out.
