Skateboarder's Sunset Rampage

Back in Illinois I had a mini-ramp in my folks' backyard that was host to some pretty epicly good times. Something about mini-ramps just brings out all kinds; street skaters, tranny skaters, lurkers; all just there for a mellow good time. So when Skateboarder Magazine decided to put a mini-ramp on a Hollywood hotel's pool deck it's no surprise that the event was such a success. Everyone from Louie Lopez to Andrew Reynolds to Lance Mountain was there, and my friends at Skateboarder had me out to man the party-cam for the evening. Check out the recap with photos from Jaime Owens, Jonathan Mehring, and myself online here, and next month's Mag.

Pat Binkley in Frisco

Slowly but surely I am going through all my street photos from tour this summer. Here is one more for you from early June. Patrick Binkley reps his Couch-Tour-VIP-orange while blasting a big ollie on a little hip in San Francisco, CA.

Starting in on the Summer's Photos - Mike Davis, Drop In

This ditch spot in California was the first real street skating we did this summer on the Hometown Heroes tour, and while most people wouldn't see a nearly vertical wall with a drainage hole in it as a spot, Mike Davis from Portland had no trouble dropping in on it. In fact he had so little trouble that he didn't mind doing it multiple times so the filmer and I could both get multiple angles. I could pick which one I like better, but it's the internet, so why not put up both.

So, everyone waiting to see their photos from this summer, you can see I am working on them and I promise they are coming. This is the first of 3-months' worth of rad skating. Lots more to come...

Two Street Photos from CA

Before I get around to working on all the photos I shot this summer I wanted to catch up on some older stuff gathering some metaphorical dust on my harddrive. Here are two photos from my trip out to California last January



Skating around downtown LA this brick volcano spot is a pretty safe bet for a good time. Tucker boosted a little ollie before Paul road a Segway.



I have known Tylor for a pretty long time, so he is used to waiting for photos from me. Between my last post and this, he should be pretty stoked. He didn't come with Tucker, Paul and me on our trip out, but Tylor happened to be southern California at the same time, so we did some skateboarding and he got a Front Blunt across this Huntington Beach ledge.

Tylor O's Ramp Destruction Party

After the Hometown Heroes finals at the X-Games in LA and shooting photos at Maloof in Orange County another summer on the road has come to an end. I have a few free weeks before my big trip West so I'm doing my best to catch up on editing some photos, and some of those should make it here to the blog. Here's the first of those



Back in April I got a message from Tylor O'Connor that he was moving out of his apartment and the affectionately titled Slum Dog Mini-ramp needed to get torn down. Tylor's not one to do anything quietly (ask his neighbors), so he threw a little Sunday night party to let everyone get their last tricks in on the mini-mini-ramp. The session ended with Tylor getting a Blunt-Fakie on a TV, and then smashing it.



Sorry for the wait for the photos, Tylor! Keep your eyes here for more catch-up photos coming soon...
