Desert Gems.

KB and I meet up with Blue Tile Ozzie and Sean at Ridiculous then headed out towards the desert for a little pool mission. We met Doug and Jake and they were kind enough to take us to a few of their gems. I only got a few shots, but handed the camera off to Ozzie and he killed it.

It’s a good day when I get my first ladder and shallow light in one day

Pretty much one of the best days of skating I have had in a long while. Everyone was on point, ripping and smiles all around. Huge thanks to everybody for an epic day and thanks Ozzie for sharing the camera duties. Find ’em and grind ’em!

Vangina recap.

Serna brought back a bunch of photos of the AZ trip that I did not get to experience, but now we get to live through with some of these images. Here is just a taste of some things that went down. I can only imagine that stuff that happened when the cameras were put away…

Clash at Clairemont 3/27/10.

Went down to check out the Clash at Clairemont on Saturday. Grind for Life, once again, puts on this awesome event to raise money for those who can’t afford cancer treatment. Many big names showed up along with the local rippers and it seemed like everyone was happy to throw it down to show their support. I got there a little late, but just in time for the vert show. There was a highest 540 contest and Lincoln Ueda took it, hands down.

Lyn-Z spun a handful of 540s, but wasn’t able to stick one. She was tossing up some sizable backside airs though.

The Master of Disaster even got in the mix

I headed over to the bowl after to try to find some shade and there was already some heavy shredding going down.

Saosin wrapped up the day with some live music.

There were plenty of memorable moments that I didn’t catch, like Lester’s, Cab’s and Andy Mac’s triples run, Cab’s huge boardslide thru the shallow and the longest stalled invert contest, which Owen Nieder rightfully won. I’m sure video will surface soon.
