Palm Springs is such a sick park…killer flow, nude bowl replica, and street hits. The park is now free and unsupervised, but the fuzz definitely patrols the area.
Headed out with Chris to meet Tige, Ben, Scoops, T&R, KB, John, Steve and some others. Had perfect weather and some ripping was going down!
Was heading out to Fontana this morning when I got the word that it was closed due to high winds. So we all detoured it to Chino for an awesome session.
A few things I want to try and accomplish this year is to skate some new places and shoot some different shots. Well, I skated Channel Street for the first time today with Chris. Got there early and the crowd was thin. Place is not easy to skate by any means, but is super fun. Although a majority of my shots look like ass, at least I hit a new park. Here are a few I managed to salvage.
Over the past year I have met some cool people, skated with those same people at some amazing spots, and was able to attend and photograph some sick events. I was looking at some pics that were shot over the last 12 months and thought I’d post some of them up. So, here’s my (photographic) year in review…

Santa brought me a bunch of new camera gear. most of which will not help me take a better photo. Here are some shots with my new Nikon 50mm, f/1.8 lens.
Went down to Oceanside to check out the grand opening Saturday and to shoot some pics for SoCalSkateparks.com. Park is pretty fun, small flow section with a squarish horseshoe with tile and pool coping at the end connected to a street/bank area. Saying this park is crowded is an understatement. Not really somewhere I would recommend going out of your way to skate, but worth rolling around in if you are in the area.
I was looking thru some old photos and founds these from April 2005. Shawn was redoing his pool, so we got few days to destroy it. Brant, Shannon and I think Kannon (it’s been a while) came over to help.
