Doesn't run but it will soon.

After...

Wet Boards...

Ortiz set up his flashes for Colin to thread the needle. Sounded like a good idea until his board got swallowed by the L.A. River leftovers.

Speechless...


So while I was out filming with Collin Provost the other day this guy showed up on his dirt bike, and I asked him if he would jump the gap. His answer was " I don't know bro, I ain't ever jumped this thing on concrete before" and then he just went for it. Honestly I thought he was gonna eat shit.

And Then...


5 minutes after he jumped the gap, he showed up with his girlfriend in a bikini. I tried to convince him that he should jump it with her on the back, but she wasn't down.

Lost roll of B/W from 08 Road Trip...


I found this roll of film from last years road trip. When I saw what was on it couldn't wait to post some of the pics.
A lot of time on these trips I'll ride with my Canon AE1 around my neck or in my tank bag. Here are a few pics from last years trip.

Stop and smell the roses..


I really love going on these trips, because we take mostly back roads from stop to stop. Sometimes I'll just roll in the back of the pack and pull over without saying anything. This was one of those occasions. I saw this bridge and thought to myself, you gotta turn around and take a photo of that. So here it is. Siked I stopped.

Dell, Montana...


We fueled up just before hitting the snow covered mountains in Dell, Montana.
Dell, Montana Population 35.

Sucking Amazingly...


Yes we rode through those mountains, and yes it sucked, and it was absolutely amazing at the same time. Something I'll never forget.
Dell, Montana Road Trip 08

Nate's pissed...

Man I really need to remember where all these stops are. Nate's a good friend of mine. Funny thing is he actually sold me my Triumph. He thought I was a total douchebag, then we became neighbors, and then friends. Now we have 3 road trips under our belts and lookin forward to #4.

St. Regis Montana...


Last years roadtrip is just one big wet, cold blur. I can't remember if this is before or after all the snow, hail, rain. Either way I'm sure someone bought beer, cigs, and hotdogs. 2 1/2 months and we're heading out again. ROAD TRIP 09 is right around the corner.

Best $14.06 I've spent...


I suggest every skateboarder/filmer break into the beer fund jar, get over to ACE HARDWARE and buy these. For some reason the Ace in Long Beach had them for $12.99, you can order them online from the link above for $14.99. Get Busy sucka.

Got a spot that's been skate stopped?

Tools of the trade...


Get these...

Peace out skate stopper...


Normally I would tell/show you where I pulled this from but I don't want the spot to get blown out just yet.
So get over to a ACE HARDWAREand take back what's yours.

Octomom...


With spots getting blown out faster than OCTOMOM'S... Well you know what I was gettin at.
It's good to know skaters are building they're own spots.
Ortiz and Tyler Hendley took us to a new spot in the O.C.
Mike warms up with a nice sweeper.

Point out the obvious...


Ortiz and Mike discuss what'll go down.

Suns Creepin' gotta come back...


Stay tuned...
