He filmed the "Skateboarder Magazine" RedBull Challenge last year.

This is Adam Conway he shoots for "The Skateboard Mag."
He loves no comply's.

After the skate session I went to the driving range. I suck at golf but it's fun.

Brian Lotti...

The handful of times that I got to skate with Brian when
I was little dude was priceless. He was so amazing & precise on a skateboard.
He got me into eating buritto's with beans, cheese, rice &
guacamole. It's a great combo. Try it. You will not be disappointed.
This photo was taken 2005 at Seu Trinhs' apartment in Los Dangerous.

I just thought it would make us look more serious

This is how Jr looks like when he's hungry...

Willys Vs Ollie...

I got 2 perfects on him. The second one he couldn't handle it. We played best out of 5. He lost. Beware... he will sweat perfously while playing especially his back & yell at the top of his lungs. Win or lose it gets loud.

Game of SKATE...

Brian Gille another new generation of Mira Mesa
skaters doing a s/w hardflip.

We played 3 games of SKATE. I won 3-1. It was really funny
playing him because he would always try to jinx me when it was my turn.
He said he was recovering from a knee injury.
I'll keep you posted on the next game.

Ollies' daily diet...

Powerade, Sweet Maui Onion,
tv dinner Marie Calenders & secret drink
(Weight Lost Shake.)

Tony Hawk is sponsored by Bagel Bits because
Ollie ate 34 dozen in 2hrs with spoiled cream cheese.

So, he always removes the wrapper.

This is one of John Maddens' favorite Mexican restaurants to eat at while on the road. I forget the name of the place & it's somewhere in Texas or New Mexico. I forget... but I got to pose in his chair while he went to the bathroom.

LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN...

I just watched this movie. It keeps you on your toes guessing what's going to happen next. I grade it a B+.

In a case of mistaken identity, Slevin (Hartnett) finds himself in the middle of a crime war between the Rabbi (Kingsley) and the Boss (Freeman). He's trailed by detective Brikowski (Tucci) and an assassin, Goodkat (Willis). Slevin must clear his name, and quick, if he wants to keep living.

Doublesided red curbs where???

This curb was slippery. I miss having rails on my board.
Those were the days.

This is Kyong Kim doing a feeble grind to 5.0 He used to be pro for
Toxic Skateboards in the early 90's. He still throws down on the skateboard & loves it.

We walked into each other in this photo.

I didn't see him when I was walking up.

It looks like I'm posing. I'm really grinding. I promise.
This spot was really fun.

A fresh Birdhouse deck. I love...

Ollie sprayed this griptape. It turned out awesome!
Voltus 5 I love that cartoon...

It was about time I changed my board.

I think I rode the buttom deck for only 5 days.
I get gnarly!

You can see that I'm so happy riding a new birdhouse deck.

Maybe I should get haircut?

I love these drinks...

If you drink any of these delicious drinks you will be strong.

I need to workout...

It's go time! On the set it looked like it would have been fun to skate.

April Fools...

Over the weekend Cameron, Nate, Karl & I skated some school yards. Karl is from the UK 1/2 German & English dude & loves to skate. It's his 1st in the USA & he's stoked.
We ate some pho & of course he's never had that before. He was bold enough to order the same dish I ordered the #6. It's pretty gnarly but I love it. It consist of tendons, tripe, stripe, raw thinly slices of beef, & rice noodle with some type of beef broth.
Karl & Nate decide to skate the world famous Mira Mesa Lucky Seafood gap. This gap was in a lot of skate video & photo's back in the day. Karl k/f it before that he actually almost got hit by a car.
After that we checked out some new & old spots in ........... Karl & I booth did a f/s lipslide to f/s 50/50 bank to curb. That was loads of fun. Cameron got in the mix & did a nose manual shove it out. Nate was cruising around busting b/s big spin pressure flips. He was just getting over the flu & didn't eat for like 48 hrs. Cameron had to got to work & count the money so then we end the session on my mini ramp. Mini ramp sessions are always blast learning new tricks & relearning old ones. Karl loved the ramp. I think he learned like 5 tricks that evening.
Finally we ended the night eating big fat burgers at Fuddruckers. Ollie, Alvin, Tony (http://www.wbz4life.com/) came along for the feast. Karl is normally a vegetarian but he couldn't resist. He's just hoping the mad cow didn't hit SD.

Nate looking for gloves in his fannypack.

April 2, 2006

This morning Cameron(filmer dude from PQ) & I went to Washington skate-park & it was locked. There was a bunch of empty beer cans all over the flat bottom near the big vert wall. So, it must have been a rager. With the time change going forward 1 hour. That certainly doesn't help with the gate keeper of the park. So, we decide to look for some spot in downtown. We found a spot but there was way to many cars in the parking lot. We pushed our luck again back to Wash. & it was still locked. We snapped our fingers & magically we were in the park. The session was great but I got a charlie horse on my thigh. On they way back to the shop we got some grub at Tiki Hut & ate like pigs. Now it sprinkling. I'm going to lay in the tub & take a bath with epson salt like a big fat baby.
