glendale 10/12/08.

A bunch of us drove up to Glendale Skatepark today and Matt did a pretty good job of killing it. Invert in the shallow of the pool.

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!

testing vimeo.

Wanted to test out Vimeo and see if it would work in WordPress. I guess it does. Quality is definitely better than youtube.

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.

pocket pistols.

I was checking out Pocket Pistols Podomatic site and came across this really cool vid about the lost art of screenprinting skateboards and the screenprinting process. Keeping it alive!

Then I scrolled down and noticed they used one of the photos I took of Aaron Court. I guess I should’ve put my name on it…

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!
