It has been some time since i have updated on here. i apologize. i havent been doing too much with myself besides speculating on going to SF for job interviews. that, and skating alone.
The other day, i went skating with justin. it had been some time since ive skated with him, so it was nice. i went to his house and we were on our way to skating over to the Post Office. he told me they have this flat rail there, so i was excited. on our way there, i attempted to do a quick little nollie into a drive way. i landed primo perfectly. it was completly unexpected so i wasnt really ready when i hit the ground. and i git the ground fucking hard. to add insult to injury, a truck honked at me as it drove by. my palms were bleeding, it was a great start to things. when we got to the Post Office, we had to move some dumpsters out of the way. but the thing about the rail was, it had welding marks on it, as in they tried to skate stop the rail. luckily, the welding marks werent big enough that it would fuck up your deck. but there was one more bummer, they had also put a rail on the ground around the initial rail. so you had to do a small ollie before actually getting to the rail. i skated the rail a bit and noticed there was some red curbs waxed nearby. i skated them for a short minute until the back tail i attempted stuck and i couldnt catch myself from falling. so i slightly hyperextended my left arm. going great so far. then i noticed this gas meter thing that i wanted to ollie over. it looked like this: I--I. but the middle part was higher. the top of it was a bit higher than my knee. so i thought, fuck it. i get about 15 yards away and start to haul ass. oh, a rock. i hit the rock as im leaning a bit too forward so of course i fall. fuck up my palms more and a rock get embedded into it as well. awesome. so far, a terrible, yet good day of skating. only good because i was skating.
left palm. doesnt look that bad, but it stung.
right palm. the rock was in this hand. doesnt look like much as well, but still hurt.
later that night, justin and i were eating pizza and vlad called to skate. we decided to skate LB park. it was surprisingly a good park. although, some of the things were a bit unrealistic to skate. AND i fell a lot more there. hurting my palms and legs more so. long story short, i need to shred more.
that means with you chase.

oh @#%^ Double post!
XweekendX isn't that exciting to everyone else. So I dug through the archives for some goodies:
(Circa 2005?) It's almost winter so I found some awesome sledding videos we did when the streets in Big Bear were covered in ice. You went so fast, the video doesn't do it justice.
NOTE: Rory on the first vid launches into the air into a tree. The second one he hits a rock pile.
(Circa 2004-ish)Brandons sweet flick?
(Circia 2006) sickie gnar slides

im probably going to stop using hardlurkin. got over it kinda.
Oh yeah, I rode from SF to SAC.
Stopped to take pictures because Elliot blew a hole in his piston. I guess crusing at 60mph isn't really ideal. That's why the turtle always wins the race.
It was hot as balls. 9 of us set out and only 3 made it, me including.
custo seat.
Total journey took around 9 hours just because we had to wait for everyone breaking down, lame.
