Go home my little friend, go home.


Put it back where you got it...

Warm up spot...


Warmed up the old legs at this spot made by skaters.
DeWitt took a good slam, and made up for it by sticking his trick.
Stay tuned for the footage.

You used tires?


All the tree huggin hippies should be happy to know that this quarter pipe foundation was made from old tires.

True...

No Comply Skate Shop...


We went over to Elias Bingham's shopNO-COMPLY to wait out the rain. If you're ever in Austin stop by his shop.

2 swell dudes...


DeWitt and No Comply Skate Shop Owner Elias Bingham

Capital Skatepark...


Wind+Rain= skatepark webclips, coming soon.

Rainbows, Coors, and a Dolphin.


After skating the park for a few hours the rain cleared. So we went skating with a few local dudes.

Economy bad, skate spots good...


The one good thing about this recession is all the businesses that are closing down. More skate spots for us.
This was 1 of 4 spots we found that were closed.

Locals


So we're staying in a business area of Austin and the only bar that's in walking distance is Applebee's
DeWitts buyin'

First spot of the day...

RIP...


Someone should of did a mural for Billy Mays, Farrah Fawcett, Dom DeLuise, Lou Albano, and Patrick Swayze

Spot #2


If you ever come to Austin and want to skate this spot don't come at 5 o'clock.

Spot #3


We got to skate this for about 5 min until some BOB came out and told us we were trespassing and needed to leave.

We're from California, we can't read...

Say Cheese.


"The sign says NO SKATEBOARDING and the police asked us to call them anytime we see skateboarders"
"Well lady I got news for you, you're using your phone the wrong way"
I love it when people come at you with their cell phones to take pictures of you, and your license plate. I usually put a big smile on my face and ask them if they got a good photo and if they can email it to me.
Criminals.

Here comes the rain...


So after getting photographed by two old hags we headed to this spot. Darrell and Ben put down some hard ass tricks.
Then right as we were packing up the rain came. Looks like somebody gets a day off.

Element Tour to Austin TX...


Sorry for lagging on the updates, had to have some time off.
Left yesterday for Austin TX for a week to film for SOLE and many other things.

I don't need no GPS...


DeWitt hates GPS systems, iPhones, and anything that doesn't involve a pen and paper.
Maps all the way.

Van life...


For the past 2 days we've been in the Element van for at least 13 hours a day.
Anybody that's in a tour van for that long goes a little nuts, or sleeps. Well Andy decided
to sleep, and I went a little nuts with my camera and laptop.

Sleep tight...

Then he woke up...


I would of kept going but he woke up.

Tour Food...


End of the night we stopped in some 2 horse town to find this sketchy spot and Sonic as our only options.
We decided to roll with Sonic. Tater Tots covered with American Cheese, count me in.

Epic Spots as seen in Thrasher Magazine December Issue

Batter Up... from Ricki Bedenbaugh on Vimeo.


Ben Karpinski hooked this spot up. He went in one day and asked the owners if we could skate, surprisingly they said yes. Here's a little edit I did with the footage. Thanks to Home Run Park for letting us skate.

SLO Classic Motorcycle Rally and Swap Meet...

Lopez Lake...


Camped out at Lopez Lake after the show. Lots of hot dogs, laughs, and beers.

Tad...


Was hell bent on getting all the wood for the camp fire.

Kevin...


Builds websites for a living, not tents. I think it took him a solid hour to figure how to set up his tent.

Peace out tent...


Joe on the other hand was so fed up with his shitty tent he tossed it.
Peace out tent.

Connett and Jamie...


Bummed I didn't get a photo of the beer cans, whiskey bottles, chip bags, burnt hot dogs and vintage porn, just a few things surrounding Connett and Jamie the next morning. The birds were picking up the scraps.
