I have been skating and hanging out with ryan for a good 9 or ten years now? When we first met, Bellingham had finally gotten a park. I had been living here at that point for 4 years or so, so it was a big fuckin deal. Anyways, when the park opened there were fun, heated sessions non-stop for pretty much a couple years. Maybe the first or second day the park was open i ended up breaking my wrist. I was livin in my van at the time. I had just met ryan a couple hours? earlier, but he ended up takin me to the hospital and givin me a place to stay. I ended up sleepin in there parking lot for quite sum time.. Anyways if you know ryan you know how natural he is.
Another note. i have shot more photos and have more photos of my friend than anyone. i owe him a lot for lettin me point my camera at him for the last ten years, in which iv'e learned so much. Sumtimes i go back and look at old stuff i printed back then and it's still the best ever and i have so much of it. thanks buddy. yer a inspiration.


the board he is riding in this photo, i got at a garage sale on the side of the hwy. on the way to stevens pass in Washington. It had handlebars that mounted on the front truck and the graphic was 'barbie and the rockers'. It was 2 bucks, bought it, took the handlebars off, put sum spitfire classics and sum new bearings and it was a rad grocery getter. ryan, on the other hand, would just air big hips instead.
