Sunday, August 21st..............

there is a skate jam/coal pad benefit at the bellingham skatepark.  Come on out, show support for our scene, donate sum duckets towards a more than werthy cause and skate with all the homies.  If you live in town i'm sure i'll see you there and to all the homies from down south or wherever, make the trip up.  it'll be a great time and i got a backyard/house for sum peeps to crash at.  we'll do a bbq at my house that night and keep the fun times a rollin.  See you then........


look at the fun to be had.  Ditch session, bowl jam, kickflip challenge, best trick, free food and prizes! 


the first Happy Medium........

video was amazing.  I just watched most of Happy Medium 2 on youtube in it falls to short.  John Motta is one of my favorite skaters.  Dude goes out and creates.  Here's his part and i suggest browsing the tube for the rest of the parts all werth a viewing.  Motta!!!

sumone.........

whos name i won't mention (although many of you could probably guess who it is) was saying how i'm a digital photo hoarder.  Not quite sure what that's suppose to mean.  I can't imagine what i would be 'considered' if i didn't have a blog and wasn't posting up the amount of photos i do on here.  Anyways, if i'm a 'digital photo hoarder', i guess i'm a film photo hoarder as well. 

heres a couple film scans of the tortillas pal, mathew french taken maybe 8 or so years ago.


taken with a mamiya RB-67.  never shoulda sold that camera.

a afternoon skateboarding with ???????................

you may remember about a month ago i put up a poll asking you, the reader who should get the next 'a afternoon at the park'  edit with the options of the gingerturd, alex sandlin, seamus o'connor or a random visiting dirtbag.  Well the you, people spoke and the results came in with readers wanting one of my visiting, piled out, hungover friends to be the star of the edit.  Well you spoke and thats what you get.  Only bonus is, its not at the park, its all filmed one afternoon at Western Washington Universitys campus (with the exception of a couple warm up tricks at the crapditch).  that being said, a edit is in the werks.  could be tonight, could be a week from tonight.

ladied and gentleman;  the dirt.


dudes obviously down.

jihad.  another now defunct bellingham spot.



Cam Barrett.  i go check this spot from time to time hoping for sumptin to skate.  its a steel factory and they always have large sheets laying around in different configurations.  sumtimes skateable, usually not.  this day we never imagined we woulda found this crazy setup just like this.  no way yer movin 1000 lb. sheets of metal.  it took a special person to be able to skate this setup and cam was that guy.  i got sum nice video and photo this day, still sittin doin nothin.
 

same spot.  the mr. does what he does, while we do what we do.

usurper skateboards..........

a friend of mine, jaime weller has a skateboard company goin and it's called USURPER.  Jaime seems to no whats up and those are the type of people best suited for creating skateboarding endevours.  the homie peter, from a post or two ago is aboard as well as Cam and sum other underground-ish types (always the best).  Keep and eye out for these dirts and if you come across any of these fellas, buy em a beer-o.  usurper has a blog.

along those lines check out this thrasher edit of sum skating up the westcoast with a couple clips of jaime and peter.  did i mention those two are responsible for the building of that concrete wunderland called Windells?.............. can't believe i haven't been there still.
