I'm chillin in B-more right now yo. Made me think of Ridge. Have a great weekend.

Get out there and see the world.

You really should do it. There's a lot of stuff to see and people to meet. We do it on the regs. This trip took us thru the Bible Belt. Jima dun broke his tooth in half in Alabama!

Skatepark in Fort Smith

Fort Smith is about to have a sick indoor park and Nick is going to be managing the place. This is about the best thing to happen to skateboarding in this area. Everyone will be skating there in any weather. It is going to be live. Hope to see you there and have a great week.

Sunday Soul ~ Coltrane Quartet

Coltrane quartet with Afro Blue sometime in the early 1960's. Have a great day.

Alex Olson kills it. If you live in L.A. go take a look at the bump over the fence he kickflips at the end of his part. It is off La Cienega and it is huge. Props to him. Amazing stuff.

Ryan Farley at Skate Camp

Skate Camp at Sequoia Lake is one of the greatest places in all of the realm of skate! If you get up there you're one lucky camper. Ryan Farley is a veteran instructor of the camp and you can tell by how he gets down.

Have a great week.

Can I take you, baby, to the show! Have a great week. Do it for those who can't. You better do your best or you're soft!

Sunday Soul ~ Aaron Neville

Aaron Neville's Tell It Like It Is was released in 1966 charted to Number Two on the Bilboard Hot 100 in early 1967. Enjoy and have a great day.

Gabriel teachs you...

Gabriel took a little time to put this back tail video together. Maybe you have these down or you're just starting to learn them. This is a tough trick and this video can help. Have a great weekend and be well.

Make it work

I'm sure you're heard people complain about how their board "sucks" or is "totally done". No use in crying in Cuba. This is how you may have to get down. Want to learn more or help skaters in Cuba? Check out Amigo Skate Cuba here. Thanks and be well. photo by Rene Lecour.

Learn to do slappies or lose in life

You should know how to do slappy grinds. Quim can show you what's up. Don't miss out. Thanks to Scott and Charlie for sharing. Enjoy the sound of your grind and have a great day.

Plans for the week...

What's on for the week? Whatever you got, make it nice. Nick with an ollie backside grab in Poteau, Oklahoma.

Sunday Soul ~ Ray Charles

Ten years ago today horrible tragedy happened and it changed how we see the world. Let us be strong enough to move forward from that day with the tolerance and love that will make the world a better place. Have a great day and a great week and be well.

Wow. Not sure what to say about...

Sickness! So raw and injury free. Have a great weekend.

Road Trip ~ 10 Year Anniversary

It was 10 years ago that we went on this epic journey! The world has changed so much since then. The 9-11 events hadn't happened. People didn't have smartphones, skype or youtube. None of that stuff was going on. We wanted to skate Vegas and go to the Grand Canyon so that's what we did. It was myself, Abijah, Alfonso, Bennett, Chon, Charlie, Frankie, Fernando, Jima, Raul and Randy. What a trip! I don't think you can throw rocks at the Hoover Dam or shoot video in casinos or clubs now but back then you could just go for it. For better or worse this is how we were.

Sinkless Session

You don't need a sink in the gargage. Not when it gets in the way of the mini. Todd removes the sink and moments later Chris and the Crusher schralp. Have a great week.

Sunday Soul ~ Tribe Called Quest

This was the joint before everyone started rapping about money, buying stuff and other b.s. Everyone liked this record. If it is your first time hearing this or it is your millionth this album is one of the best rap records ever. Have a great day.

Ditch Day

This ditch day in El Paso was a great one. Rudy was our tour guide and he hooked it up. We shredded lots of great stuff but this ditch is something special. Tricks by Randy, Gabe, Todd and Ryan. Later that day we triumphantly escaped the clutches of the federal authorities who detained us and searched the van. It was a memorable day for sure.
