2008 GVR Bowl Jam.

I ditched work last Friday and made my way down to the 2008 Goofy vs. Regular contest at Etnies in Lake Forest. Some of the most insane riding I have ever witnessed, everyone was killing it! Here are a few photos.

So, I was trying to frame Tim Johnson between Rion and Ben and coincidentally got someone else between Tim’s legs. The best part of the photo is what Raybourn has written on his grip tape.

All-in-all a super fun day. Time to skate!

burger bowl 9/25/08.

Awesome little session with Russ, Scott and Chris at Burger’s. This bowl is crazy! tight and fast! 2 lights, 2 deathboxes, stairs and a love seat…obstacles in every pocket. Only got a few pics because I was having a blast! Thanks Russ for hooking it up and thanks to Lyle and Becky for having us over.

solvang 9/20/08.

Chris, Dale and I headed north yesterday for a shredfest/b-day bbq at Solvang. Stopped in Santa Barbara to pick up Mr. Lightner and when we arrived we were greeted by Colin, Jeff, Steve, Matty, Toby, John and others. This was the first time for a few of us at this park and it took a while to get used to, but was super fun. Skated for a while then sat down for some BBQ and “Barley Pops” as Colin calls them.

Heavily medicated, Dale decides we should take one more victory lap before we hit the road. This final roll thru ended with Dale’s frontside air bail to padless knees and the local Sheriff kicking us out for no pads.

All in all an amazing day of skate, food, brews and friends. Fucking Lamb of God, Dude!

Santa Cruz 35th Anniversary Signing

Santa Cruz Skateboards held a 35th year signing down at ASR this past Friday. Mike, Chris and I stood in line for what seemed like an eternity to shake hands and get signatures from a few of these Santa Cruz legends. Not all of the names listed were there, but definitely some heavy hitters. I just had a little point and shoot camera, so I apologize for the quality.
