Sorry I’ve been laggin’ a bit, but here are a few from Bill’s 2 weekends ago. It was pouring rain in Orange County, but we got the call that it was clear and dry down south. We had an awesome, dry session and to top it off, got to skate with Matt Hensley.

I have been a fan of Far ever since Water and Solutions came out, but I have never posted anything up because nothing on youtube really captured what I liked about them. I saw them live one time and they broke up shortly after. I followed Jonah as he did the whole Onelinedrawing/NewEndOriginal/Gratitude thing and have always liked what he had done.
They are back together and have covered some cheesy R&B song that is getting a ton of radio play. Whatever, I am stoked they are playing again and if it’s a cover song that gets them the popularity they always deserved, so be it.
Here’s one of my favorites…
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.

(Yes, I know I misspelled “romoeba” in the vid. it’s not even a real word anyways.)
A few from Dave’s last week. 70 degrees, 8pm, the end of January…gotta love California.

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…
