Go Skateboarding

Yesterday was the first day of summer, better known as Go Skateboarding day. Aila Galleri held a small demo at the park, a lot of tricks went down, it was a really good time. Lots of free stuff was given out, and games of skate were played.

I took on my usual role as photographer, and spent most of my time snapping at hammers down the 8 set.

















Corey's frontside flip was a huge crowd pleaser, super smooth and done really quickly too.



















Rob has been claiming a backtail on this hubba since day one, and he picked a good day to pull it out.

Work on the previously mentioned magazine is really getting under way. It's looking promising.

It's being titled Kink and we're aiming for an early August release. We're going to cover a lot of skateboarding, as well as art and music that relates to skateboarding.

Anyway, went skating with Potter today, shot a whole bunch of photos.

Frontside rock on the ex-ghetto banks. Fun spot, gnarly as fuck bank.

Park Shark

I spend too much time at the park, just skating and taking photos. I'm also saving a lot of photos for the previously mentioned magazine project, so it's slow.

Some people were skating the set, so I took some pictures. Here's Corey with a switch heel.

Cancer

I went to see Rammer tonight, an intense show. That band fucking rips.

It was hard to shoot because of dim lighting and I ended up sifting through photos for sharp ones when I got home. This one isn't sharp, but it caught my attention the most because it really gives a feel of their energy.




















Wolven Ancestry opened, and I went into the show not expecting much since I'm not a huge fan of black metal, but they were a lot of fun to watch.

I'm mostly posting this because I haven't posted anything in well over a month.

Took some pictures with Westley today at the park, that kid's got style.



















Smith up the down rail at the park. Nuts.

Also, it looks like some people will be starting up a small local skate magazine of sorts. Lots of details are foggy right now, and things will definitely clear up soon enough. It should be a lot of fun.

Mini madness.

Pierre came up for a day and we went to Shred Central because the forecast called for rain. We left into sunny skies, but that's okay.

Everyone knows Pierre has got insane pop, and he keeps it on minis.














This kickflip was like head high and perfect.

I can't think of snappy titles

I'm really shitty with Illustrator, so I'm surprized I came out with something decent from this project.

I know how cheesy the background looks, but I like it and it was the best way to keep contract around the edges.
