Skateboarding needs more of these...


Met Mark while I was in Philly. One of the nicest kids out. His skills on a skateboard are unbelievable!
Thank you for skateboarding Mark, we need more kids like you.

Love and Guts Orange County 2011


Short piece I did for Oakley's Love and Guts/Thrasher Magazine 30th Anniversary Art show

Have some Chocolate after Thanksgiving...


I remember when new skate videos would come out on VHS/DVD's, before the internet. The only way you heard about them was through advertising in magazines or 411VM , and I would get so hyped, like a kid on Christmas Eve.
This is one of the few companies along with Ty, Spike and the rest of the crew that can make me feel like a kid again. Really looking forward to seeing this, along with the video of course.
THIS FRIDAY

Grammin' the Grammer.


Nick is a Professional grammer. Gettin' those angles.

We are in Boston...


I really do hate this place. Seems like everytime I eat there I get immediately get the shits. Screw you Boston Market, even if we are in Boston.

Guess who?

Brophy getting silly...


Guess Brophy thought it would be funny to hose down my camera and myself with silly string.

Orchard Skateshop...


Signing at Orchard went off, tons of kids and a great session on the mini ramp.
If you're ever in the Boston area go check out ORCHARD SKATESHOP

Goodbye Philly...


Loading up the vans and headed to Baltimore!

Haunted Hotel...


Apparently the hotel in Baltimore is haunted. Just ask Tyler and Brophey!

Pitcrew...


Last signing of the trip was at PITCREW . Thanks for the pizza and beer. You guys are awesome.

What are you looking at...


Just down the street from Pitcrew is a painting on the wall that we all thought was actually an old man leaning out the window.
Turns out he's not real, I think the fact that he has wings might of given it away

Back to Mars...


Etnies goes East is a wrap! Thanks to all the shops and kids that came out.
"This is the plan. Get your ass to Mars"

Etnies Goes East B/W Film...


Went to the East Coast with the entire Etnies team a few weeks ago. Here's a few photos I shot with the ole AE-1
Enjoy

Brophy was hyped...


Manzoori rips at filming and skating, just ask Brophy.

Can I take your picture...


Just 10ft away from Nick, RP, and Devine was 15 girls asking to have their picture taken with Sheckler.

Hand outs...


Kids these days don't give a shit, all they want is product. Not all kids, but a lot of kids.
Willmington, DE. 2011

This kid...


Kids will ask you for just about anything, "Can I have your board?" "Can I have your hat?" "Can I have your underwear?"
Not this kid though, he was tight as hell, all he wanted was to meet the guys and get their autographs.
Willmington, DE. 2011

The Berrics are gonna be "pissed"...


Looks like someone doesn't like The Berrics...

How much is that Cairo in the window...


We had a shop signing at Exit in Philly. Turns out, only 1 kid showed up.

Story time with Jose...


Not really sure what Jose was talking about, but he had everyone's attention.
Philadelphia, PA 2011

Manzoori...


On this particular day I was a pile of shit hung over. Opened my eyes for a second to shoot this photo of Manzoori driving.

Good Morning hang over...


Hotel curtains are the best, they block out any amount of sunlight. It could be 6am or 4pm and it still just as dark, until you open them and its straight Vampire.
Cairo Foster, Philadelphia, PA. 2011

Bledsoe turns 21...


Hair of the dog. Bloody Mary's in the morning are always a good start.

Streets of Philly...


Why I love film. You can't get shit like this with a digital camera.

New Filming board...


Put together a new filming board for the trip.
They usually last about a year. So on August 20, 2012 I'll show you guys what this board looks like.

12 hours...


Took 12 hours to get to Copenhagen. Won't be home for another 17 days.
Here's a small look at those 17 days.

I did until...


I woke up at 5am because of jetlag. Lets get some food.

Breakfast with these guys...

Breakfast...


Good with the bad.

Not as perfect as you may think...


Good from far, but far from good. This place pissed everyone off at some point. Still got their shit done though.

Some new type of planking...


Nick's sister made up a new way to plank. I think it's called koalaing. Like the bear.
Crazy kids.

Rollin deep...


In Helsinki.

Willow gets an early start...


We headed out on a early morning mission to get a trick that gave Willow some trouble.
He got the trick and got the beer.

Sun down...


Beers up...

You in me...


That's where this beer belongs. My belly.

Hell of a Restaurant...

Last supper in Helsinki...


This place was so good that I took a business card so that the next time I'm there I'll know where to eat.
