Scummer 08
All the assholes are out in full effect. Beware.
T-Bird convertible with a pop-out bungee corded to the top.
Her license plate says "Love to be Sassy" in license plate speak. Blond and awful, welcome to California.
Bro-dozer. These bro-sephs were blasting Daft Punk, had huge motocross decals covering their rig, and were douche-bags.
All of these pictures were taken over the weekend in extremely close proximity to the Huntington Beach Pier

Pro Tec Pool Party 2008
So, we went to the 2008 Pro Tec Pool Party yesterday. MENTAL!
The list of people we saw was endless: Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain, Jeff Grosso, Duane Peters, Steve Steadham, Christian Hosoi, etc. The list goes on.
The only way that I could describe how hard these guys skate this pool is that it's fucked up. Transfers, 540 McTwists, 18' lipslides, Smithgrinds around corners, a broken wrist, dislocated shoulders, 6' indy grabs, etc.
The best was when an 11 year old girl collided with another chick in the bowl and was basically knocked out, to which Dave Duncan commented over the microphone, "That's what happens when you skate with the big girls." FUCKED UP!
It was rad. Some video will be posted up soon.

vol. 1 harbour noserider
A few days ago I posted vol. 2 of TJ Ridings and Cyrus sutton on the new harbour noserider. Here's vol 1 featuring cyrus solo. Around the 53' mark, it starts to get silly steezy. Enjoy
Pro-Tec Pool Party
Tightner, Murdercity, and myself will be going to the Pro-Tec Pool Party on Saturday. It's going to be mental.
Baxter
Baxter came into the office today to shred the mini ramp. Things didn't work out too well. At least he has a cute red cast.

Cool Beastie Boys Photo
This was taken in 1985 by Glenn E. Friedman at Loyola Marymount University. The Boys were in town to do an interview with KXLU, a local radio station.
I went to school there. This is probably the coolest thing to ever happen at LMU.

Words of Wisdom from Aussie WCT'er Kai Otten
Contraception? Do you ask?
I’m all about that. It’s pretty fucken wild out there. I’m always connied up. Even when I’m liquored. It can be fucked, though: you’re all geed up, then you stop, say, hey, I’m going to get this thing, …it’s rank in that regard. Afterwards, it’s an amazing feeling, particularly if you were parro the night before and yet you still tarped up. It speaks volumes for your character.

Masa Tom (T.J. Ridings) & Cyrus the Virus (so sick he's got a virus)
One of my best buddies from the golden years of youth, TJ, just posted this video of himself and fellow harbour team rider Cyrus Sutton testing the new Harbour Noserider. Needless to say from watching this demo, it works...really well. I was back at home in good old North Orange County recently and was kinda shocked at how hard the jerky, mega hand jive thing has gotten a hold over the younger loggin kids. Nothing wrong with that trip at all, it's tits, very enjoyable to watch but It's nice to see shredders keepin it smooth, making it look easy, and pulling off way lengthier noserides.

Rollins in Top Form
I am reading Broken Summers by Henry Rollins right now. I just wanted to share a little excerpt to see what fuels his fire...
"Whenever I see a Hummer on the street now, it just makes me mad. There's always some asshole driving it. He's on the phone and he doesn't give a fuck what you think. Why drive one? To show everyone you can. There's no practical need for one of these things, it's just a resource destroying bravado."
Amen brother.

Destroyed by Skate
I went with Tightner from Radballs to skate the Combi bowl at Vans today. Very mental. Shameful as well.
First off, I was not aware that Wednesday's are fucking pro nights. So, Omar Hassan, Josh Borden, Bennett Harada, Christian Hosoi, and a gang load of other shredders were in attendance. Shameful, I know.
Anyways, I padded up and took a warm up sesh on the 6' mini ramp, just to get the blood flowing. Did that for awhile, buttery coping, very nice.
Ok, back to business. I go back to the bowl and most of those dudes are still there and before I know it, Tightner goes for it. Effortlessly flowing in and out of the corners doing slashes on some very unforgiving pool coping. He gives me some pointers and before I know it, I am dropping in, trying not to totally kook it.
Holy shit. I haven't had that much fun in a long time. I worked myself into the rotation taking turns with some mental dudes. All of the guys were really rad, some kiwi dude from New Zealand was giving me some pointers on how to improve my bowl shredding ability. Much thanks.
I have only really skated a 5' mini ramp before, so a 11'6" deep pool was quite an adjustment, Tightner said it was definitely a very difficult bowl to skate, hopefully I will be making my way to some more user-friendly bowls and pools in the area in the upcoming weeks. So fun.
Anyways, here is a picture and some video of the beast, last year's Pro Tec Pool Party video...
