i think a lot of kids these days don't realize people like jon and mike manzoori, now known as filmers were once up and coming pros. manzoori was always one of my favorite skaters in the later 90's.

i can't really call this........

the carlsbad gap of house gapz. why because it's not big enough. And of all the skateboard videos i have watched and the countless amounts of 'famous' gapz i've seen, nothing can quite compare. I guess i miss leon and thats why this picture and post are gracing the interweb. Maybe 6 years ago now though, after a mellow couple beers, we were on the roof. thats when i suggested he attempt the gap. When i say 'mellow' it was far from and after a little cohersing, mr. fire went for it. Boom! stomped it like pat channita in the 'revolution' all over carlzbad.

[click for real time]

After i shot the photo, i barely talked him into trying it again for video, upon which he barely made it and cased the landing. One foot before the awning, leg between the fence and the porch. One leg on top. total splitter. Ima try and find the video tonight...........

i listen to so much.........

music and i always have. it's probably one of the most important things to me in life, as every song links to a memory good and bad. Makes the werld go round for sure. I could however, never claim a all time favorite band. Devo however is defenintly top three in my book. I'm not sure if there is anything better to skate to. In fact there isn't. Anyways, this songs been stuck in my head all day. best thing ohio ever gave us. except for maybe neil johnson.

i love taking pictures......

of anything. Well almost anything. In fact i was approached the other day about shooting photos for MMA fights. Ughhhhhhh........ Documenting over testozteroned males pounding eachothers lights around and about? no thanks. Anyways, here are sum photos I shot the other day of the food from the restaurant at which i wait tables, The Fork at Agate Bay. Do yerself a favor and jump right into the hodgepodge of delicious bites the place has to over. It's honestly top notch with a chillen vibe dressed to the nine or rollin carhartts. Good good stuffz. Have a peak for yerself then come join me and the rest of the fam.

Its always fun and challenging shooting new things. Messin with depth o field and such, atempting to create a photo like you always seen in Wine Spectator and dem other food mags. Can't say these compare, but it's nice to come out with a finished product yer pleased with and feel represents a couple(john and Gina Russell) doin a dang good thing for the town of Bellingham.

hell yes!!.........

the weather has finally turned. 3 sunny daze in a row? should be the norm but not this year. We were out skatin the last few so after i log there will be sum footage of my own. Phee is visiting. Sorcery Sam was up yesterday. Can't say we have been stackin any clips really but sum fun has been had for sure. On that note and sunny weather, i think it's time to add Puerto Rico to my list of to-do's. If this clip don't make ya wanna travel and skate, i don't know what will.
