friend of the tortilla, Kevin Zee printed me up a limited run of 50 "the search for hannibal chang" meattotilla stickers.  you know you want one.

there out there........

sumtimes there just nearly impossible to find.  Went to the SLEAZYRYDAHZ t.f yesterday with the fellas.  Pure awesum crust.  Posted up in crowz zone with crowz magical staffs and his other belongings.  Got a lot of confused looks from a lot of confused passerbyers.  Don't bother asking.  this one's on the D.L.........

before this we skated the a few other spots and ended up in the internation district.  CEO came thru with a photo and battled another move at a ledge spot up the street.  A security gaurd ended up giving us the boot before Mike got his move and he had sum funny shit to say about Mikes talents on board.  KOOK........CEO is gnarly.

for 14 years......

i made the bellingham crapditch my home.  Almost any given day you could find myself and Mr. P making the most of the concrete with palz.  In that time i have seen just about anything a skatepark scenario has to offer, until now.  This happened last night.  I'm not sure of the details, but either way the scenario ended with, Joe, a bellingham localz dog being executed by the bellingham P.D.  Really sad shit.  If you are sensitive to graphic photos you may not want to continue on with this post.  Sorry for your loss Joe.  R.I.P.

fun weekend.............

for whatever reason, the sun gods are shining upon us brightly.  Another killer week followed by another killer weekend.  saturday had a rough start.  we headed out to skate at 2 p.m. and by 6 p.m. we were back at the house where we started and still hadn't stepped on boards.  I was starting to think all hope was lost for the day when i suggested going to westlake latenight styles and everyone was down.  Richie, James, Yoshi, Brick and Myself headed down late night.  We ended up getting the boot by the PO at 3 a.m from the piss stenched gap...........  Haven't been out skating that late for awhile.  What used to be the regular, has unfortunately faded with age, or sum bullcrap.  Sunday started off a little slow.  But we gathered the troops and took it to the bridge to nowhere, equiped with bbq, brew, meats, coolerz and all the homies.  Best spot ever for the chill lurk out.  Usual suspects, usual good times.  Next weekend..... gonna be hard to top this one.

after the seshion, while kicking sum beers, i was shooting sum long exposure waish, when i showed and explained the ol tracer effect to the crew.  they hadn't really seen it and were all hyped to write there names.  all we had was a lighter so it was a little iffy, but fun nonetheless.

thats suppose to be a corndog.

not only is the BTN great for skating/quing, there is a decent sized jump there as well.  Ross takes the plunge into the murk.  dang those melons.

i like this picturegraph

i was having a hard time creating a photo here that i liked.  i gave up.  we did get a rad line though, that started with this frunt pivot.  If you been there you know.  Brick.

Usurper Bros visit the emerald city........

a couple weeks back, the fellas from Usurper Skateboards came up to Seattle for a skate date.  Although the whole team didn't make it, including, original corndog and longtime homie, mr Cam Barrett, a good majority was in the van.  Jamie Weller, leader of the usurpian army, along with binger, ian mcmartin, chris mcfarland, ian storm and filmer matt shoebottom rolled up joining seattle chapter usurps, brick strait and jimmy "jihad" denton.  Throughout the weekend we hit up a ton of spots, some you would recognize, sum you wouldn't.  It was hot, but skating ensued all weekend.  Matt got some clips and I was able to snap some photos of the shenanigans that were going down all weekend.  Always rad when the bros come for a visit.  till next time.......

heres a sampling from the weekend.  some other photos from dem daze may pop up here or there.  keep a peeper open for them and check the Usurper video when it comes out for more footage as well.  Photos Jared Smith, Video Matt Shoebottom.

matt shoebottom was holding down the VX all weekend.  Barf Banks was the first spot of the trip, just down the street from my house.  Check out Bingers couch hop to manny line in the edit at the bottom.

Binger cracks one.

Next spot, also a few blocks from my crib.  Binger tests the waters.

he did this feeble in a couple tries and mobbed the hill after.

still the best trick on board.

i hadn't met Chris McFarland before this trip.  rad kid.

although this rail is basically a skatepark rail, its still a rail.  rail, rail, rail.  Dipped smith.

lipslide.

the crew.  first time i had met Ian Storm as well.  Ian was getting over a knee injury.  I just watched some stuff on youtube of him.  fuggin rips.  looking forward to his next visit when that bender is mended.

Ian McMartin is awesum.  He took a couple diggers on this frunt board.

but nailed it in the end.

Our beverage of choice that weekend was the mexi-mixed pack.  3 sol, 3 Dos Equis, and 3 negro modelo.  Coolin off in the shade.

this bump to bar is perfect.  Chris.
