Caswell recommended this one yesterday. Even if it's fake, I'm still laughin'.
Wild Ride finale...
June 30, 2008
Emerica's Wild Ride ended in NJ a week and a half ago. I showed you this little teaser already, so here's a few more flicks.
Sometimes signings wear Jerry out. He also has really good hair.
Sooooo hot right now!

First Indy, now Black Label & Leeper! What a week! Not sure what I did, but it's nice to be loved. Even if it's on accident or by coincidence.
Timeless...

An Andrew Reynolds frontside flip will always make your day. Here Andrew closes the curtains on the Wild Ride in Sayreville, NJ.
And just for shits 'n giggles, check out this photo of another Reynolds frontside flip I shot four years ago, in April of 2004 on the same exact quarterpipe.
More to come from Go Skateboarding Day, Wild Ride, Flip Couch Tour demo and on and on...
Malto breaks some wood!
June 20, 2008
This is what happens when you are drinking and bored in a hotel room on an etnies tour in Tennessee. Not sure how we even got to this point, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Malto has good form... my head barely hurt the next day!
'Labbo!

Wow, check out what Indy did for me! The "Brink" belt. Complete with a bottle opener and everything! Maybe they're trying to get me back since they saw I'm a die hard Thunder guy.
Sky Ferreira!

Spent the day with Sky Ferreira for an upcoming Missbehave interview. You probably don't know her now, but perhaps you will one day soon...
Quote of the week!
June 15, 2008
"'Skateboard media' is a funny term. For one, it’s a joke. If there was a skateboard media they’d be reporting on shit in skateboarding that really matters, instead they just do fluff pieces every month. No one calls bullshit when bullshit needs to be called and everyone is so nice to everybody else because you don’t want to offend the wrong person and lose their advertising dollars. I think that’s why we just focused on ourselves and our little world. There really isn’t any news in skateboarding, so we created our own. “Skateboard media” is funny also because a skateboard is a toy. It’s like saying, 'hopscotch media.'"
Waxing the ground!

Flannels!
The TransWorld Awards were last night. Flannels are still hot. Evidently everyone is too "important" and "VIP" to wait on a line or not get into the "hot party" these days and SoCal floozies who could care less about skateboarding still dress their Sunday best in attempts to have pro skaters and industry dudes give them a little attention.
Ritchie Jackson's part in And Now was full of shock and awe. Expect droves of impressionable young skateboarders across the globe to be waxing the flatground at all your local spots soon. You might not know 'till it's too late though, when your ass is on the ground. Malto got curtains. 'Nuff said.

"Hey Rob, thats The Chief on the other line so I gotta call you back. Sorry, you know I gotta take The Chief's call."
-Jim Thiebaud to me just 15 seconds after calling for reasons still unknown.
