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.

skateparks galore

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!

erik also got a sequence himself, shot by jarrod, of this little wooshdy doo da little trick. check it out, he does all kinds of little spinny things. he also reemed my shin while trying this trick. that jerk!

front 5-0 to switch k, 270 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 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....
