2011-02-17T18:51:00.001-08:00

I haven't skated thoroughly since California because of the 24˚ degree weather, makes sense. So things that I've been doing the last months:

- Walked home in a Blizzard from Manhattan home.
- Started my moped right up after it was buried under snow for the past months.
- Went to the dentist, used my heath care.
- Skated the Brooklyn Vans exclusive park and got free beer, pizza, and a beanie.
- Tried going to the gym, weird.
- Moving in with Erin in March to our own place.
- Spent super bowl eating $116 dollars worth of Taco Bell.

Here are some highlights (with my new phone that takes real pictures...easier bloggin')

2010-11-29T15:06:00.000-08:00

I've been skating by myself a lot. Since the box is no longer around, I've been skating the manual pads across the street, not too eventful, but it's better than not skating at all. I haven't seen Chase in a few months, skating with Vlad is always the same, just skateparks.

I bought a Zero from my friend a bit ago. It's an 8". I'm kinda used to that size now.

I'm starting production on a few short films in a week or so. That should be good too.

I forgot I linked Oh Dear and my blog together. I was trying for a good 15 minutes to remember Oh Dears password.

anyhow, I found some old miniDV tapes some weeks ago. I got bored in my film editing class, so I uploaded some shit. I just bought a apply G5 today, it came preset with FC pro and some other lovely little things. so, heres a small clip of me skating some shit. I believe Chase is filming. Justin was there too, but I dont think he landed anything.

and about school, Im doing really well. Acing both my classes. Its really nothing though, only two classes. But, school is good and Im thoroughly enjoying it.

sorry I didnt see you while you were here, Love. I had the tapes for ya.

2010-10-17T17:09:00.000-07:00

So I've been on a pretty rigorous skate ritual. Every Saturday for most of the day. Brooklyn is so un tapped it's amazing. I've also been trying to get into the habit of working that 9–5, harsh but fun.

Anyways, lets start out with with me waking up:

No crackheads shitting outside my window is a-okay for me.

Building a table is fun.

So, skating. My friend Peter had the idea of going to this skatepark in Hoboken (like the thing that that dude in streetfighter does).

Oh yeah Hoboken is in Jersey right across the Hudson. It's cute.

When we got to the park there was a fleet of Jersey dads on old BMX bikes just looking, remembering the good ole days of bunny hops and flock of seagulls haircuts.

This fucker blinded me as soon as I walked into the park.

see it's pretty. What your not seeing in this is all of the fucking shitty skatepark kids. It reminded me of socal when you go to a new park and there as just little turds everywhere. Also, Jersey is waaay behind on the skateboarding curve. Myspace girls, fat kids with earings, roller bladers, shitty skateboard backpacks, and plenty of moms.

The best part about this place was the miniramp. It was perfect and was able to skate it without feeling like a total dbag. I met some of peters friends there. We all have the same feeling about skating which is good, all past our prime but is fun. I think this guys name was Justin. NOTE: Myspace girl.

We went skating in Manhattan after that. I've never skitched on so many cars in my life, it was so much fun just riding around on a saturday skating little dumb things. In Chinatown someone cemented a part of this cobble stone quarter so you could skate it. It was raw as shit.

Here are some of the bro's I went skating with. My camera is pretty much in a coma blue-line wise.

The next day my wrist was jello.

Dude Fjord

2010-10-03T18:01:00.000-07:00

OK so I finally charged my camera...aaand forgot to take it skating, sique. Went skating with Peter all yesterday and am sore as shit But I had to show you this fucking ledge we found so I got a sweet aerial photo.

You see that thingie in the middle of the bridge? Oh thats just a full metal ledge that goes across forever and is super amazing and perfect height, no big deal (psych)

Also I fianlly got settled in my room. It's rad.

Don't mind that blue tape this was pre-paintroomin'...I'm building a bike that I got for $30 as well. It's shitty as eff but that's good for me ( and no I'm not turning into a bike dude, the moped is outside)

Okay that's it. I'll bring my camera next time I schralp because I've be excavating really neat spots.

Blast from the past...E-mail that I got

2010-09-27T20:47:00.000-07:00

Me and Chaz went skating, it was fun.

Chase and Jerod Rivera

2010-08-30T17:39:00.000-07:00

Chase and Jerod Rivera are lovely young lads i met some years ago. I can recall the night i met Chase perfectly. I went out to skate with our pal Mark Bartling and some other dude. Chase knew Mark through either Noah or from school. None the less, he was present. Chase at first, was very shy and a bit awkward. Understandable since I, am an immature dipshit and at the time, skated non stop. We all skated some spots in Westminster and under my guidance had decided to skate this long flat rail. I asked Chase to film because Mark, myself and other guy were going to skate. Mark and dude got over it pretty quick, but Chase continued to film, it took me a good 20 tries to land a measly boardslide. Upon landing I nearly shot out into the street, but Chase grabbed me before I did, and basically saved my life. Friends forever.

Jerod on the other hand, I can not pinpoint the exact day or thing i was doing when I met him. Its odd because I generally have a very vivid and good memory about this shit. So, sorry Jerod. But basically, Jerod is a good friend to me as well. I enjoy his company.

The good thing about both of these fine specimens of men is, we have a very good amount of shit in common. Not only do we all constantly quote Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, but The Simpsons and a bunch of other random garbage as well.

Happy Birthday Boy-o's. Even though it was 2? days ago.

2010-06-21T17:01:00.000-07:00

FINALLY, I have some time in between going to NYC and finishing school to do a goodie
post. First off I went to NYC for a month for design work which in turn means I get to
skate in NYC for a month!

Skating in New York was rad. It's real street skating like hanging on cars, bombing small hills, and skating spots that just catch your eye with no dummies kicking you out. If I had to put it into urban terms...it's not a fat loose slut giving handy's on the corner for $5....like California is about skateboarding. Much more of an untouched virign, right Brandon?

Typical.

I've deemed this place Huntington No.2. It's flat with no gnar dumb things, really open, pretty dead, nice gnar bar exercise objects, and perf location. I went here as much as I could.

Shred sled operators and the objects in question.

other stuff I saw that is rad

Coney Island is fun. You can drink beer ANYWHERE.

I thought this was justin when I first saw it.

That's it kids. More skateboard adventures surly to come once the others remember the
to post on this deal.

We're blowin' it.

2010-06-17T16:49:00.000-07:00

yep we are. I'm in NYC and the others are running around. I have sik pix that when I get back I'll do a nice post, promise.

Noah just turned 24 years old on April 3rd, 2010. He is just slightly older than myself. I met Noah when I was in 6th grade at Vista View middle school. We basically became good friends pretty quick, we both had such an odd sense of humor. When combined with our other friend Matt, it was shenanigans all the time. Thats actually here nor there. But basically, I've known Noah for 13 years of my life. The past 4, he has been in San Fransisco, so I do not see him as often as I would like. What I really want to say is, I miss you buddy and happy belated birthday.

School is back up and raring to go. So hopefully there will be some presence of Brandon
and Chase on OH DEAR besides me. I've been skating by myself at night....all of my skate
friends have dropped off pretty much. The last person I went skating with broke his
pinkie so hes out for a while. Other than that I have an ex BMXer that I can skate with,
sick right?

I have really been into the way construction looks. I wrote out this whole thing but it didn't work and now you will just get the brief and boring " I like it" version because well the moment has passed. It'll be back, I haven't finished my construction obsession/talk by a long shot.

I do however want to collect enough construction pieces from various sources and borrow a few lanes in the middle of the night to make the city ( or any city ) come pick up their borrowed objects. Not out of revenge or spite or anything like that, but because I just want to see what small park of a street I could take up after I change their colors and put them back into circulation? Maybe they wouldn't.

2009-11-04T11:41:00.000-08:00

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.

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.

This bike is going to be for sale soon.

This bike is solid as shiiiiit. Rode it from San Francisco to Sacramento cruising, no problems. 60mph +

The internet is a harsh world of farries and puppy dog tails.

I went to a moped rally in New York. It was super rad. I got to hang out with all of my East Coast
friends and shed new light on the advantages of New York.

Ryan giving the cold shoulder to a fixie bro dude. fyi Ryan rode from NY to CHI on this moped this summer.

Rode around Manhattan, Bronx, Harlem, Brooklyn, and everywhere in between.

It was super nice outside the whole time too.

Someone loves sticky letters.

We also rode into space? / this was the flight home in first class bitches.

But long lens. We'll see how it turns out. Chase and I are probably skating tomorrow or Tuesday. Also, happy birthday Chase and Jerod.

Rubios has some good tunes.

Started off the day at the slater slums taco truck. If you didn't know Slater st. in OC has a huge Mexican population and also supplies one of the cheapest taco trucks, two delish tacos for one dollar and free pineapple water? Oh and Nick Tiffer eats meat again, welcome back.

The night before I was dared to get buche, pig entestine on a taco because no one could stomach it. But they didn't know I was experience meat eater. It was rather tasty but maybe because I didn't have poo chunks in mine (bottom left is the pig poop holder taco.)

After that we went to golden view, got the buche revenge and Chase got the shakes so we were there for like 15 minutes.

I had the great idea of getting baskin robins thinking I was purchasing an ice cream shake I just got pure chocolate syrup and brownie cup, 31 flavors blew it.

Then real skating finally happened.

Satellite and stealth wings. Bro.

Talented and intelligent with Rubios incentive.

posh.

Then I no comply wallied back home.

The mailman

2009-08-13T09:42:00.000-07:00

"The Mailman" is a good nickname because "he always delivers." It sets up the greatest bit of trash-talking in NBA history, when Scottie Pippen quipped that "the mailman don't deliver on Sunday." and Karl Malone lost the game due to a free throw.

Day of Doom

2009-08-11T13:28:00.001-07:00

Yesterday consisted of chase calling me and deciding we should skate. This is how it went down;

Chase and i talked around 215pm and decided to meet at his house at 3. Fine by me, I had some things I had to take care of anyway. I got to his house at 305pm and he texted me and said he was on his way. He got home at probably like 330ish and got ready.

Thats his mom's cat. or, one of them.

We went over to Jared's house because Jared was using Chase's skateboard. But, Jared had taken the board with him to school so Chase and I hungout and shot baskets and played with Fiona.

Jared.

Chase bought some wheels from me. 10$ a set. Not a bad deal.

After some time skating, Chase and I went over to the closest Subway where we sorta made plans for the rest of the day.

We decided to go to the library because I wanted to check out a book.

I went with Jurassic Park.

We went to Coffee Bean afterwards since it was on the way back to Chase's house. Anf was working as well. Cynthia happened to be there as we pulled up. She hungout for a bit.

Anf

then Phil showed up..

..with Brett!

My Mourning No.2

2009-08-08T22:11:00.000-07:00

Finally I'm out of school and can do normal things like eat healthy and have normal body functions. Here's something to blow some time in your day:

These assholes wake Erin and I up all of the time.

mmm.

This is where I make fun of Brandon in the morning.

Oh yeah I moved a while back around just around the corner. Now I have a sweet wall.

Good ole nasty shoes are coming along nicely. Some salmon blood on that right one.

Made lunch. Two different leftovers, apple, chocolate, smoked salmon, crackers, and an anchor
steam....because that's all I have to drink.

The only skateboarding that gets done for the most part: to and from my garage.

hey guys.

I took one of the shop bikes yesterday because it hasn't been ridden in awhile. We do that just so
we know that the bike is solid. Also this one is sex.

Yep.

Then I sit at work, work on bikes after we close, go home, and repeat.

Hard Lurkin

2009-08-05T23:21:00.000-07:00

so, i started my own seperate blog from this one. Hard Lurkin is just going to be things i do on my spare time. i will still post on this just as much, there will more then likely be some of the same posts on each blog. but on this, i will focus more on skating. on Hard Lurkin, it will be skating and bullshit shit.

also, Chase if you read this, give me a call tomorrow. i need to kill the box with my almost perfect ankle now. so holla at me. Noah, i regret to say, i will not be in the general area when you're down here. sorry nigga. i think now, in September, i will be renting a car and going up there. end.
