park n ride....

when i broke my collarbone quite some moons ago i was bored.  so bored.  One night after many beers i did what so many do these days, make something to skate.  It started by grabbing a bucket or two of discarded piles of asphalt along the roadside, eventually turning into acquiring bags of mud and learning to work the concrete.  I'm not going to go into some rant about the D.I.Y. ethos, like so many do.  You already know.  As far as i know the spots still there.  Hope people are skating it.  If you live in the Vancouver area, stop by on your way south.  Its right of one of the fairhaven/chuckanut exits in bellingham.  You can see the spot from Interstate 5.

the gingerturd to fakie.

always fun watching barrier clips.  anyone know the origination of the "Jersey"?

sausage party......

the homies at sausage skateboards put out this little promo "broadcasting from Tokyo".  All VX footage from around seattle with handrawn titles by the dood and co-creator Jessee Brown.

Justin Hagers play on famous folks with word association are incredible.  The simplicity is refreshing in a day of overcooked works.  Here are just a few i'd like to hang on my wall......

archivalwaish....

a few photos ive snapped thoughout the years......

this is bellinghams only dry spot really.  smooth ground and a double sided yellow slappy curb.

the gingerturd

i miss both these dudes.  Cam and Mr. P, the greatest dog to ever pee on a tree.

This is Mike.  He showed up vagabond style in Bellingham one summer.  I gave him a couch naturally, but when it was time for him to leave....  The coalpad, Glacier Washington, channel ollie from deck.

we all know this drill.

and this feeling.

Shooting photos at skateparks is dull, but every now and again a new angle or new dude makes it alright.  Jihad, Bellingham Washington.

Best Dude.  Leon sporting a hand drawn Meat shurt by yers truly.  Miss this guy as well.

Most people in the northwest know Matt French.  He's an eclectic fellow who likes to make his presence know.  Matt thoughout the years,  was always trying to get me to go shoot or film him.  Thing is, bonelesses are his thing and that's always what he had to document.   When I agreed to go out with him again, I brought him to this spot i had scoped and he did his thing.  I was hyped we got a "new" boneless photo.

this day was fun.  Warm summery sun.  I had brought this mask i had picked up at a garage sale and the homies were filmin lines with it on.

Sam Cole is one the most gifted dudes on a board.  Lipslide, Bellingham Washington.

This is a Cross Processed shot of Ryan Williams shot on ten year old film, thus the pink hue.  Ryan just has them like this.  Arlington Washington.

Another shot of Ryan.  I did the solarizing in the darkroom (no photoshop), although there is probably a button you can push to make it look like this these daze.  Bellingham Washington.

stencil time

Mr. P was the best dog a dude could ever wish for.  He don't like it when you step to his kibbles.
