Cenntenial Park

The Santa Ana skatepark is the shit. No bowls, no tranny, just perfect street spots to skate and have fun. Kids are skating there for fun,  with shitty set-ups and jacked shoes. No bullshit, no contest training, just kids and adults shredding together and having a good time.

Pelada Official Trailer

Check out this trailer for a movie called Pelada. Its a documentary about soccer players traveling across the globe showing the side of soccer that is not on TV, the street games. Check out their website as well and see if there is a showing going on soon where you live! http://pelada-movie.com/

Mano Do Braza!

A new camera means there will be many new photos to come in the near future.

The Open Road

There is something about traveling that makes life worth living. Have you ever met someone who says, "I don't like to travel"?  What is wrong with these people? How do they not appreciate the alertness of being out of your element, the mystique of having no clue of what is around the next corner, the thought that wherever you go, whatever you do in this place, it will all be brand new. New people, new restaurants, new sidewalks. Next time you are in a new place that seems boring, take a minute to notice the small things; the attitude of people walking the streets, the tone of voice of the person working the cash register uses, or the general layout of the land and infrastructure. These things all add up to make every place on earth unique, and despite how boring a small town might seem (and probably is) chances are that if you look hard, you will find something there that exists nowhere else in the world. And if you can do this in every single place you visit in your life, you will truly have an appreciation for the uniqueness and individuality of every city, state, race, culture and country on Earth. You might make a friend or two while you are at it.

This photo was taken in the spring of 2009 somewhere in the desert outside of Phoenix, Arizona.

Austin Black

This dude sucks.

Saint Cross

West side Santa Cruz, CA. One of the dopest places on earth!

Turf Skateboard's new video trailer

This is a trailer for the new Turf video, "Lavandre" coming in January 2011. These guys have been putting in work, filming all the time to make another dope video for the skate world to see. Turf is a sick company that is starting to blow up hard! They have a lot in store for the next few years so stay tuned.

Happy Accidents

All of the following photos share one thing in common; I shot them with the shutter speed too low, in too low of lighting and it resulted in a weird blur effect that I have a lot of trouble creating on purpose. For the most part I shot all these just trying to make a good shot with my point and shoot digital camera. They all came out weird in a different way, but I really like the way some of them look. Who knows, maybe someday I'll figure out how to do it on purpose and you will see more like this!

Laguna Beach

This photo was taken in downtown Laguna Beach in 2009. The sunsets on the California coast are simply amazing, and a place like Laguna is the perfect spot to watch the sun go down and enjoy the great California weather with a nice, scenic view.

Santa Maria 7 stair rail

People say that every spot in California is blown out, and for the most part they are right, especially in southern california. There are so many spots everywhere though that its really impossible for them to all be found, and not only skated but filmed on by someone whose footage will be seen by a lot of people. This rail is in Santa Maria, CA, right off of the Pacific Coast Highway, around three hours from Los Angeles, and is completely unknown. If it were in downtown L.A. it would be annihilated by now. It just goes to show that if you really put in the effort, you can still find good new spots in California.

Barcelona

Barcelona is a wonderful city. Anyone who enjoys traveling owes it to themself to go there at least once in their life. These photos were taken in Barcelona in June of 2009, and feature Fernan "Turtle" Origel, Bryan Callaghan, Viktor Ekberg, and friends.
