R.I.P.

Rest. In. Pierce.

for those of you who havn't heard, the pierce house is going to be dead about a month from now. the landlord finally got tired of putting up with all the crap and decided to remodel and sell the house. this post is focused on the time i spent there, which was about five months. i've put together a photo montage that includes the good times we had at the house and around san jose. enjoy.








and to all the san josians, i will be seeing you again soon.

finale

the final post on this blog (at least for a few months) is on it's way....

keep on watching.

internet down

i am sitting here at bellano coffee shop drinking ethiopia yergacheffe coffee....but uh we don't have internet as of the past week or so and don't know when we'll be getting it back. but i've been shooting a ton of photos so when i get internet back expect a huge update. keep checking back to see what happens.

p.s. jarrod has gotten into some heavy drug usage and is in the hospital because of an overdose. eveyone pray for him......he needs it now more than ever.

tile trannies

there was a car parked right beside the ledge across the street so we ended skating the tranny in the tunnel. it was a pretty dinky day. no ones skated in a while so we all were goofing around. goldschlager did learn blunt fakies though. that was sick. jonathan did a little spinny thingy at the tile spot, and maurice got a cool frontside ollie. ol' chase did the heisman pose...

rain

we've been waiting for the rain to pass and today looks like the day we will get to head back outside. so expect some stuff later on today, if everything goes over well. for now i have some film i've been shooting to show. here are just a few frames from multiple rolls i've shot over the past few weeks. enjoy.


maurice - back tail over at wallenburg


erik - peace bro


goldschlager - lay back board guadalupe

so yeah...

...not much has been going on around here. rain is back so we've been trapped inside once again. i've been on the hunt for a job which is going to suck because i'm not going to have that much time to shoot photos anymore. but we'll see what happens.



goldschlager - wallie boardslide up to fakie

eriks been working on a trick for a while now (definitely something my camera is not wanted for)...an unknown trick....here's a preview.


but he's been having back troubles so he bought one of these and has been using it thoroughly.



peace. more to come....

long beach what!!!

the last couple days have been some crazy ones. five radical people from southern california came up to skate and chill so we've been going non-stop. things are going down, footage has been captured, photos have been made, and in-and-out has been eaten. here are a few dinky things that were captured.


erik - 5-0 fakie


goldschlager - tailslide



this is ben posing a dope backnoseblunt. SICK!


also the filmer that came up with them (andrew hunter) has a really good video that he filmed up on youtube. check it out!

more stuff to look at

triples wallride


erik - nollie flip


jonathan - ss back 180


cool huh?

excuse me, where's delaware?

sorry for the lack of updates, been kinda busy doing things around the house and whatnot.

maurice had a flat tire when we were leaving rengstorff the other day.

across the street...

...street spots. that real stuff.




i chilled outside with Tom for a little while today. Tom is our cat, he's cool. he tried to swipe my lens off with his huge cat paws when i was playing with him.

chase came through!!

chase just moved here from texas (thats not him by the way) and has been living with maurice in his 8 square foot apartment. the plan was for them to move in to our house but the whole san jose code inspection thing screwed that whole plan up a bit. we'll see what happens.....anyways chase is sick. cool dude, loves his orange soda, but yeah some dude has been leaving comments wondering where chases sequence was...well wait no longer! today chase got his very first sequence through the lens of my camera. pretty sick one too if i say so myself. peeps it


lipslide around pop out

congrats chase on that trick.
i guess everyone really got some kind of trick at that spot. jonathan did a noseslide down the curve. so sick! goldschlager did a front board down and around with a little stylish land and in and out of focus sequence. oooh yeah!



ol' erik did a couple tricks as well...we wouldn't have expected any less of him though.


back 50 across then down through the whooosh...thanks to chase and jonathan for the stylish bgp's


tailslide up to switch mani

goldschlager

....no not the drink. i'm talking about sean goldschlager dummy. he likes to ollie.

went to lawrence park today to show it a thing or two, and boy did we ever. ha! not really. but seriously this dude patton met us up there and he rips on a skateboard. boy, i tell you what! check it out!

goldschlager hates little kids and makes them mad while he skates by doing crazy hi tech maneuvers. this kid yelled at him while he was doing his stunt. goldschlager brought along young jeff, so he was there hanging out checking out all the action.

front pivot


i was pretty psyched on the day because i learned a new trick. erik shot a sequence of myself doing it so yeah....peeps it.

noseblunt


all photos shot by jarrod except the sequence of me and the one of jeff. hope you enjoy it all.

jonathan

'found' a new spot that he likes a lot. hopefully we can go back with some other dudes to get some more tricks, but heres what jonathan got today.


front board pop out manual with the great crowds reactions.......or something like that...?


front board pop out fakie

if i use my fisheye for sequences anymore someone punch me please. ;)

codes? what codes?

yesterday was kind of a weird day, nothing seemed to be going the right way. to start off the san jose code enforcement showed up at our house telling us all these things we need to do to clean up the house and taking photos of every little thing thats wrong with out house, all because of people complaining about parking on the lawn. so who knows if our landlord is going to be pissed about it? also me and erik's room is "uninhabitable" so apparently we have to move out of the room we are in. and when they left this is what they said, "you guys need to mop and bleach the floor and do the dishes." what a great way to start the day huh? then jonathan and i decide to head over to the king and mckee park to try and get a sequence jonathans been thinking about. after about two hours of trying he was fed up and we left that spot. another great addition to the day, right? after that we were both pretty bummed so we just went home and chilled, ate some food. ant called about a quarter till four to say him and josh were going to sunnyvale....yet another opportunity to skate. couldn't pass this up so goldschlager, jonathan, and i went out to sunnyvale for yet another shot at skateboarding. turns out it was a really fun sesh and the day was starting to look better. shot a few sequences at the park for fun.


goldschlager-crazy angled back 50


josh-crook across and down with the weird creepy guy watching ever so closely


ant-noseslide nollie heel?

sunnyvale saved the day and our moods were flipped around.

"your not a car"

went to good ol' rengstorff park yesterday, then hit up costco for a hot dog and drink. apparently the people who shop at costco think they are cars because they walk down the middle of the parking lot, as if they are driving, not allowing cars to pass. ?? chilled there thinking of spots to go to, jonathan wanted to skate this flat gap thing into a bank that was located in a ditch. sounded good to me so we headed over there only to find the ditch full of water. who coulda guessed? so the only photo for the day is this polaroid shot by maurice at rengstorff park. well later that night we had a little soccer ball juggling going on in the kitchen and luckily throughout the whole time we were playing only one drink got spilled and nothing was broken. whew!

when it rains. you get wet.

saw this rad vid and thought i'd share the findings. the video comes from the dudes over at crackforthewack. check out their site, there are a lot of funny photos and videos and things.

heres the VIDEO

falling is fun

erik had a wonderful day yesterday....

frisco....yay!

san francisco was went to today and it got driven across like no other. we drove and drove and drove and skated for a total of maybe 45 minutes...we were there from 1:00 until 4:30.
this little 3 stair grinder spot we pulled up to first had a cool little notice in the window telling us that we were being watched. so we skated there for about 7 or 8 minutes when some dude from across the street came out and told us we should leave. he was nice, so we left. and believe it or not as we were driving off a cop came around the corner and actually stopped at the spot, so we lucked out there.


we went on to golden gate park...skated around, had some fun, got kicked out. next spot was treasure island...i've never been kicked out of any spot on that island so there we went. i walked around the island, snapped some photos and jarrod got a little sequence. so enjoy it!

dinkie little day

so today we lucked out and it was dry, so some skateboard pushing was able to happen. check out the forecast in san jose for the next week...so if were lucky we'll be getting another day to skate. you never know though because there was a 70% chance of rain today and it didn't. but yeah today we jammed brandon, jonathan, jarrod, erik, peter, and i into my little civic coupe and headed to sunnyvale again. erik and peter got a sequence at sunnyvale....

no comply dancie thingie


front shov 50...5 fps crapper


then we headed over to venture gap and the ledges to dink around. peter defined the word dink when he did these couple of tricks. HA!

tail drop 270 switch smith to wallride......?


drop in 50


and while all this dinkin around was going on brandon was over at the ledges pretty much killin it. he was doing all kinds of lines with wallie grinds on them there ledges. heres a little wallie 5-0 i captured out of all the things he did.



and sure enough while all this was going on goldschlager was at home doing his new favorite thing. THIS! some day we might strip him from the console controller and get him back on his skateboard and make him into the blog star he once was! uhyeah...

hopefully i have updates for you all within the next week. lets hope!

sunnyvale blowout!

todays post is a giant one! i seriously shot 20 or so sequences plus some goofy stills. it was the first day in a while it hasn't been raining so we all went out to sunnyvale to shred! things started out kinda crappy because no one has skated in a while due to wet-ness. even with the weary drained minds everyone had from being couped up in their houses the skateboarding had to go on, and boy oh boy it went on for sure! today will be the introduction of anthony (ant), josh 1, josh 2, and peter whom you've seen before playing some call of duty 4 but have not seen riding a skateboard. these dudes all rip so good. goldschlager couldn't shake the weariness from himself and got mad enough to focus his board. YEAH! i even handed erik the camera and had him shoot a couple stills of me. lets see i got a motion blurry feeble on a curb and a nollie over the hip. oh yeah. thats whats up! eriks got those skills, i think i may let him do the photo/blog thing from now on. what do you all think about that idea? oh yeah and after today that offer i made a while ago about the faster camera still stands. anyone who wants to donate money or just give me a canon 1d mark iin would be my favorite friend forever.... :)

ant is going to be the first one up and all i have to say is that this dude rips! oh yeah....he's goofy footed by the way....
