I'm still out in Sequim.........land of wapiti.

The elk, or wapiti (Cervus canadensis), is one of the largest species of deer in the world and one of the largest mammals in North America and eastern Asia. In the deer family (Cervidae), only the moose, Alces alces (called an "elk" in Europe), is larger, and Cervus unicolor (the "Sambar" deer) can rival the elk in size. Wapiti are almost identical to red deer found in Europe, of which they were long believed to be a subspecies; however, mitochondrial DNA evidence from 2004 strongly suggests they are a distinct species.

Elk range in forest and forest-edge habitat, feeding on grasses, plants, leaves, and bark. Although native to North America and eastern Asia, they have adapted well to countries where they have been introduced, including New Zealand and Argentina. Their high level of adaptability poses a threat to endemic species and ecosystems where they have been introduced.

Male elk have large antlers which are shed each year. Males engage in ritualized mating behaviors during the rut, including posturing, antler wrestling, and bugling, a loud series of screams which establishes dominance over other males and attracts females. The bugle call is one of the most distinctive calls in nature.

Modern subspecies are descended from elk that once inhabited Beringia, a steppe region between Asia and North America that connected the two continents during the Pleistocene. Beringia provided a migratory route for numerous mammal species, including brown bear, caribou, and moose, as well as humans.[20] As the Pleistocene came to an end, ocean levels began to rise; elk migrated southwards into Asia and North America. In North America they adapted to almost all ecosystems except for tundra, true deserts, and the gulf coast of the U.S. The elk of southern Siberia and central Asia were once more widespread but today are restricted to the mountain ranges west of Lake Baikal including the Sayan and Altai Mountains of Mongolia and the Tianshan region that borders Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and China's Xinjiang Province.[21] The habitat of Siberian elk in Asia is similar to that of the Rocky Mountain subspecies in North America.

Throughout their range, they live in forest and in forest edge habitat, similar to other deer species. In mountainous regions, they often dwell at higher elevations in summer, migrating down slope for winter. The highly adaptable elk also inhabit semi-deserts in North America, such as the Great Basin. Manchurian and Alashan wapiti are primarily forest dwellers and their smaller antler sizes is a likely adaptation to a forest environment.

Anyways, these buggers were basically in my parents backyard yesterday.

Well the fellows at girlfourstarchocolat always put out the clean fun edits and this one is one of my favorites so far. Heres the youtube version but you can c a nice quality one over at crailtap



-agentasian

Some of you may know.........

that i have a thing for corndogs. Not actually eating them but the image of one. Some of you may also now that at 30 years old, I have no tatoos. I just never got one, not really sure why, but sometimes talk about getting a corndog pricked onto my forearm, if/when I decide to. I don't know, maybe something like this??

when a bunch of dudes that aren't from Bellingham go skating up here. Everything is new and everything is worth sessioning. This weekend i met up with basically the same crew as the weekend before to do more of the same. It was me, alex, sam, issac, seamus, nick, luke, riley, clam, macenzie, kevin and another guy whos name is slipping my memory. He was wearing a weed leaf costume for a bit. classic cabbage love. we hit up a bunch of spots, enduring cold, warm, then cold again. riley was busy filmin for his video, (psychoskate.blogspot.com) check it. At one point we were shooting some photos, out comes a dude from the adjacent building. shit, busted. but nope, we
were invited into the warmth, were a circus act was at practice. whatever, heres some pics i took.

crusty bellingham weekend......

Last weekend i linked up with alex who had a couple friends in town sam and issac. They had been ripping up all the local crust havens in town. I tagged along with them filmed some shit and shot a couple photos of sam. Today sam sent me a link to the stuff they done shot and it rules. duh, dudes rip.



In this pic Sam pops a cracker schmacker switch heel flick while issac catches the action. Issac was nice enough to let me take another photo minus filmtown and sam also obliged with another make. yep.

-agentasian

not sure what it........

is about the fall, but people sure get pushy. blah..........

-agentasian

when we where.....

on orcas, Matt Splatt did this gnarly ollie. It kinda started as a joke, with me asking if he'd ever skated down his hill. I brought out my filmer board with big soft kryptos and he started bombing it. All the sudden I thought it would be a good idea to assemble a ghetto sketch ball gap. I didn't really think he would try it but he did. he landed it after a handful of tries and this is the make!! Keep in mind this board is anything but easy to navigate. Loosest truck action ever. Yeah Splatt!
