Shut down...
For some reason I like this photo. I think the billboard in the background has a lot to do with it.

L.A. Riverbeds Day 3
The good thing about the L.A. River Beds is you can skate them anytime of the day everyday.
The bad thing is they swallow your boards up quick.

Instant gratification. Remember when you'd have to wait a week before you saw the sequence.

Found this Spot...
These days it's getting harder and harder to find new spots. So when you do, you have to make shit happen.
Sunday we found this little jewell and after a few modification it's now a new spot.
Dug it up...
Dug up all the plants on one side to make it double sided.
Next thing to do is add wax and clear coat.
More Secrets...
This stuff works great on ledges, benches, and just about anything that you want to skate.
Before and After you wax...
If you got a ledge that's old and sticky before and after you wax it throw on a layer of clear coat.
It works great.

How to fix a crack...
Hello world wide web users.
Today I want to show you how to fix a nasty crack that's keeping you from skating that spot you've been eyeing up for months.
Sure people have been using bondo to fix crack for over a decade now, but they're shit is sloppy. I'm gonna show you the right way.
Supplies you need.
1 Can of Bondo
1 Sheet of JESSUP GRIPTAPE.
1 Roll of Duct Tape
Some spatulas
First Step...
First thing you want to do is mask off a small area that you want to fix. I use wide duct tape, it works great and is fairly cheap.
Get your supplies ready...
Keep your masked area as close to the crack as possible, and make sure you have all your fixins ready.
Remember you wanna do this quick, so you don't get caught by the man.
Pour it out...
What you wanna do is find something to pour and mix your bondo on. We went to In-n-Out prior to this, so I just used my bag, which by the way wasn't the best but it worked.
Get it hard...
What's your girl want? She wants it hard. Well the same with your bondo, that's what the little tube of red shit is. It's called "Hardener". You don't want to put too much in, but then again you don't wanna put too little in. So the best thing to do is put a little in at first and keep adding until it turns light pink while you're mixing it up.
Mixin it up...
Next step you wanna mix that shit up. Mix it up good. You want it to be pink, with no signs of grey.
Grey doesn't dry with out the hardener in it. So mix that shit up good.
Puttin it down...
Time to lay it down. Best thing to do is cake it on nice and even, but not too much cause then you'll end up having a lip when you pull the duct tape up. Remember nice and even.
Smooth it out...
I've tried a million ways to smooth out the bondo and the best way to do it, is to take a sheet of JESSUP GRIPTAPE paper (shiny, slick side down) and press down the entire surface to make sure its smooth and even.
Sanding...
Now that you've pulled up the duct tape use the spare JESSUP GRIPTAPE to sand down any lump or edges you might have.

Guess the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree.
