Saturday actually... but my friends and I filmed some dorky group lines while bombing a little hill. It was dark and we used the camera light. Bonelesses, coffins, etc. Honestly, it was probably the most fun I've ever had while a camera was running.
Going into to business with Vallely is the skateboarding equivalent of starting a land war in Asia, just don't.

Saturday: 12 straight hours of skating (minus some drive time) in Petaluma, Novato, San Francisco and Berkeley. Was totally useless on Sunday - barely got off the couch - but had a big smile on my face. Nothing like skating until you can't move.

one of my friends came back from uni for the weekend so it was cool to skate with him

went hard all weekend and feel stiff as fuck now, realy sore all over

learnt bs 180's down stuff, really stoked on that because ive allways been scared of bs rotations down stuff, then proceeded to learn back 3's on flat and will try them down the gap next time

didnt hurt myself

5-0 on the top of the banks at McCarren Park in Brooklyn...They're like practically vertical and require you to just mash your board into it as hard/fast you can more or less...Sucha shit park, but it's a good time.

Sorry - only photo I could find is this terrible rollerblader one...




The beers felt good after that sesh (def. check out Mugs Alehouse if you're in BK - sick beer selection on Tap) and I was sore as fuck the next day - but that's just a sign you got a good one in..!

Exactly how I felt today, but I had to limp around at work all day. Session was so good yesterday though. Got a crew together unexpectedly and skated all day. Fucking love it.

Rolled around an incredibly packed park today with Hate, Upgraydd, and Joshewz in Baton Rouge. Kids were stopping and sitting down just to watch us act like dipshits. Awesome day.

I like those days where you can try a trick over and over and still not make it, but continue getting closer and having fun at the same time.  Been trying frontside bigspins over a hip probably 100+ times since friday

For the past few weeks, I've been waking up thinking that I'm too sore to skate or that I won't have the time to go skate but I've ended up getting a lot of really fun sessions in and learning new tricks.

who made that suicidal tendencies deck?

i learned a trick that just popped into my head. tried it for a half hour, landed on it four times, and almost got hit by a car. i got this feeling that i haven't felt in a long time where i thought "this is the one. i'm one hundred percent sure i'm landing this one" and i rode away all stoked. i left with one of the kids i was skating with and had a fun time on the ramp, and then went back to the first spot just because. i was also doing tricks i haven't tried in a while and felt sketchy trying. i'm gonna be setting up a new deck, wheels, and bearing on thursday too. with the shoes i broke in today i feel like i'm gonna be trying to skate as much as possible before winter time finally hits

just had a trick improving session, where we chose tricks and try to do them better than ever before. so we had to grind further than weve personally done, pop a flatground trick higher than before, same with over a hip, then pop a trick off a loading dock as fast as possable, the last one led to alot of very complicated slams. was a good time

yesterday a friend and I met up at the "park" (I put it in quotations because this park is a shithole) and the gates were closed so we decided to just drive to the next best park which is 20 minutes out of town. we get there and it's all to ourselves. then we filmed a few things, which was the first thing he's filmed in a good 3 or 4 years.

you should get one of my carpet cruisers for that.


They're not really for when you're trying to do stationary switch heels, but when you're just cruising from the couch to the kitchen (and maybe the occasional boneless off the coffee table.)

Holy mother of FUCK those are sick! I saw a guy at the Tallahassee park skating a carpeted cruiser but it was pretty sloppy looking... that shit is like art!

OT: Nice and sore but not injured from a good park session yesterday with DevilOnEnzyte and some locals. I don't think either of us even particularly felt like skating from being tired from earlier skating/work and him having a new kid, but we wound up getting sucked up into the skate vortex and using a up a few hours.

Later today I'm going to be enjoying picking up a couple of crispy decks at the shop. Always feel like a little kid when I get new gear... can't wait for a fresh pop. Been good about wearing out/cracking boards as of late.

Havnt had a propper session in about a week now, but ive been cruising the streets every day, and since i saw that Dylan video of cruising through tokyo ive just been not giving a fuck about traffic, just swerving in and out like a sketchy basterd. But i dont feel bad because when im driving padestrians and bikes are such pricks that i feel i deserve to be a prick every now and then

I've been enjoying the rehabbing the knee aspect of skating. I have about two weeks to go before I can cruise again but with the end of the semester here, I definitely timed the surgery correctly. Get some!
