Shredtastic Saturday.

The good people at Vans and World Cup Skateboarding held the first Am-Tec Pool Party at the Combi this past Saturday. Danimal and DeWit hooked me up with a media pass to shoot some pics of the groms. These little bastards were ripping the place to pieces. The future is looking pretty bright…that is until they find girls and they quit skating.

I couldn’t hang any longer, so I ditched the finals and headed down south to check out the Bones Video premiere at SoCal Skateshop. Over 100 people showed up, Mumma was out back grilling dogs and a heated session was going down on the shop ramp.

Tristan didn’t get enough skating the Combi contest all day, so he finds the most ridiculous board and lays one down.

My night ended with a board straight into my camera. Lens looks pretty jacked, but I guess it comes with the territory…

2010 Photographic Year in Review.

As the year comes to a close, I like to look back at some of the photos I shot over the past 12 months. I do it mostly for myself but also in hopes that this will hype some people up to go skate, shoot photos or just get outside and live. I have skated more backyard pools this year than most people will get to skate in their lifetime…Ozzie Ausband and the Badlands crew are 100% responsible for that. Getting to skate and shoot with some of the greatest dudes around is truly an honor. Each year my board and camera take me to amazing places and introduces me to people that I know I can call friends for life. Here is just a small sample of the things that went down this year.
