We Have a Winner...


After a week of comments I've decided on a WINNER.
And the winning caption is from

Malcolm:

"Bro, I gotta have some Boar's Head before I'm able to man up to this one."

The fact that he knew we ate Boar's Head on tour shows to me that he's a true fan of the blog.
Malcolm I need your info so hit me up with your email and I will get started on your Element Package.
Thanks to everyone that submitted a caption. More to come in the future.
Keep on Pushin'

Special Guest...


We had a special guest join us on our Vegas trip...

Mike V. joined us on our last day...


MIKE V.. flew into Vegas on the last day. Really good to have him along. He's got some great stories.

Omelet House...


Home of the 12 egg Omelet and the 3lb Burger.
Sounds like a perfect canidate for this
SITE

3lb Monster Burger....



WHERE'S the BEEF

Best T.M. Ever...


If you visit my blog on a regular then you probably already know how rad DeWitt is. He holds it down, and he's a damn good sweeper.

24 hours...



Mike showed up and only had 24 hours to get photos and footage. He handled it!!!

Beating the sun...


We were trying to beat the sun at this spot, and in the end we just lit it up. Which made Mike's footage look even better.

Bondo...


After a quick bondo job we made the unskateable, skateable.

Post a comment, win a Element Tim Tim board...


Best caption for this photo wins a CHAD TIM TIM deck along with some other goodies from ELEMENT SKATEBOARDS. So make up a clever caption.
(Element Employee's and riders exempt)

Driving through town we found this.


Julian took care of it.

Vangles...


Sometimes you just gotta get on top of the van to get the right angle.

Spracked out...


Nick drinks one of these everyday.

Nick Garcia.

Similar wheeled devices?

Shakers. AKA Old Folks...


The old folks home across the street called the cops on us, but they never showed up. Ha Take that shakers.

Once again...


GARRETT came through with a grip of spots.
Thanks dude.

Security Rolled up...


As soon as I saw this guy I thought of THIS

Lemme get a sticker...


You never know what you'll get with Security Guards, and this dude was no exception. Coolest security guard ever.

Front man...


"I'm the front man and you're the guitarist with mystique"

Truck VS Truck...



Julian's board had a run in with a Ford F150

Dock #5...


Everyone knows about Dock #7 and why no one skates Dock # 5 is beyond me.

Well Deserved...


Everyone got something today. Funny thing is, it started off looking like it was going to be a chill day. After a great day of skating we decided to end the night early and grab some beers and dinner.

Element Las Vegas Filming Mission Day #4


The quote of the tour.
"I'm just stating the obvious"

No Trespassing means, You should skate here Part II

Fat Little Monkey...


We swept it out and skated for a solid 2 hours, oh and got accused of calling so woman's kid a "Fat Little Monkey"

Modern day Hieroglyphics..


The Egyptians had hieroglyphics, so I wonder in 5,000 years what people will think of the human race when they see this.

I don't love dem hoes...

The Good, The Bad, and The Hella Ugly...

You might recognize this spot...


LEO ROMERO handled it.

Last Spot of the night...


You know when you were a kid and how much you hated going to school everyday, because all you wanted to do was skate? Well it's the opposite here, everyday I look forward to getting out of this God forsaken hotel and hitting the streets. Casino's suck balls. This was our last spot of the night, then we headed back to Hotel Hell.

Element Filming Mission Day #3


Finally the rain has passed and the sun is out.
Julian sets up a new board to celebrate the 1st day of sunlight.

Garrett's got spots...


So we've decided to stay in Vegas because of how many damn spots this city has. If you ever go to Vegas Garrett will
go above and beyond to show you spots, oh and did I mention he's got skills behind the lens too.

Venti and Tall...


I've discovered on this trip that when Gaberman and I get coffee it's very similar to our height. I'm a Venti and he orders a "Tall", which is pretty funny because he's the short one. Here he gets a higher angle with the help from the team van.

Don't Fear the Sweeper Part II...


DeWitt getting to sweep out the spots is crucial to his sanity on these trips.

Don't Fear the Sweeper Part III...

No Trespassing means, You should skate here...


The only bad thing about this spot is for every time you don't pull your trick, you have to crawl under the gate.

Opportunity...


To the normal human this just looks like a fence around a slab of concrete, but to Julian it's an opportunity to put down a banger.

Fatty to Flatty...


Stumbled across this spot while looking at another spot. It's a great spot, but shitty run up.

Peanut Gallery...


Being on tour means there's always 1 person that wants to skate, which means everyone else talks shit. This was one of those situations.

Naughty By Nature...


Just in time for Valentines Day...

Element Filming Mission Day #2


Early morning mission.
Well not really, actually it was around 11, but at least we were out of the hotel and ready to roll.

2 Peas in a Pod...


Nick and Julian are cousins, and they both kill it.

Twinkies.

Warm it up...


This spot is pretty rad. There are rocks on the ground that not even filming wheels can roll over though.
I nearly dropped the HVX and windshield.

Set it up...


Photo Incentive

Do the math...
