oldie but goodie.....

here is a photo i shot of sir ryan williams at Dahl park in north seattle when it first opened.  This quarter is perfect.  And the decklessness is rad but creates a most certain element of death and inner shin dismemberment, making tricks on the thing feel that much radder.  fruntside floater like only ryan has.

hey blair habenicht.  if yer out there, what up buddy?  hope yer well and i run into you soon.

if this doesn't make.......

me feel dumb about complaining about my aches and pains at the ripe age of 34, i don't know what will.  total fugging shred.

GMC was always werking on a installation of sorts last night when i stopped by the skateshop.  It involved strolling around downtown round bar closing time and leaving wheat-pasted sandwhich boards around the bar vacinitys.  Maybe one of you caught it?  to late for my blood these daze.

boys at werk getting things ready.

this makes me so happy........

25 minutes from Bellingham.  Population maybe 5,000.  Small towns always produce the best gems.  Way to to guys.  This crete looks amazingly promising.

.

being in transition.......

and without a home has been real good.  It has been forcing me to get out and constantly smell them roses instead of confining myself to the comforts of my home.  Been enjoying sunsets, hanging downtown at the skateshops, spending more time at the park.  Anyways, it's been real.  Heres a couple snaps from yesterday before it went real south.

never gets old.  Bellingham is a beautiful place.  Lummi and Orcas islands.

the fellows from USURPER........

SKATEBOARDS came up to bellingham yesterday.  It was a super fun time and everyone who wasn't hurt was rippin.  The Crew in attendence included; jaime weller, ian, chris, peter, POD, binger, zorro, cam, jihad, and brick, with tortillas seamus, al, the human weed leaf, and the ginger bringing the local heat.  The Usurpians brought a bunch of dogs for the grill and handed out sum shurtz to the minions.  Super fun day and a skate company doin it right.  All up in the mix mash with the durts.  As far as Bellingham goes, you can buy a USURPER deck down at the unknown kids.  Skip a Creature or Baker deck next time and remember who put that free weiner in yer mouth at the park last saturday.

Here are sum photos i snapped from the day.  I'll get around to a video edit soon, but right i'm now homeless, so the edit box is in storage.

Original corndog and Usurpian, Cam Barrett!

Ian Mcmartin was hurt.  It was my first time meeting him.  Radicool human.

Chris Cope must have done 50 of these sad plants.  He was apparently trying to do the re-entry tail bash thing and wasn't satisfied with these outcomes.  Hmmmm.  Must be nice having that one on redial.

Another angle of a messup.

thanks for comin up and hanging fellas.
