December 4, 2007
Chris Cole won X Games '06. More of him to come in a bit...
We don't need no steenking lights...
December 4, 2007
I find it typical (but certainly not surprising) that every athletic field and facility at Centennial Park in Santa Ana has amazing stadium lighting, except the skatepark, which, by 5 pm or so at this time of year, is pitch black. Didn't stop this local dude from ripping though. That second trick is a double flip and it was really dark in there. I actually tried to brighten the footage when I edited it and it looks like total shit. You'll notice me enviously panning...
Andrew Reynolds: X Games '06

Andrew Reynolds seriously killed it at X Games '06. This and Koston's footy are probably my favorites.
Ryan Sheckler: X Games '06: Pyramid/Euro gap/ledges
December 3, 2007
Lemme Just get all this Ryan Sheckler video out of the way in one shot. Here's him during the hip/Euro gap jam, then some more of him during the ledge-type jammy.
Sheisty deals...
December 2, 2007
Today I was at the Subway in Costa Mesa and they had this new deal that states:
'When it's raining, buy any regular-priced sub and a 32 oz. or larger Coca-Cola product and get a regular 6" sub or soup for FREE!"
I dunno about y'all, but has anyone checked how often it rains in Costa Mesa? Ya, like almost never. Also, then factor in the average operating hours of a Subway and how often they might not even be open while it's raining. Perhaps this would stoke people out...
Amy Poehler is my new crush...
December 2, 2007
I think it's the hair, but I've been digging Amy Poehler lately. Someone give her my number. Okay, thanks.
Snow, Guidos, and Allergies: Thanksgiving in NJ...
December 2, 2007
A pretty rad urinal. As if guys don't think about fellatio enough as it is, right?
Hmmm, why is Tim waving this 20 in front of his lady?
Wow, fake tits! Just like back in Orange County!

Chris Gregson
By Rob Brink
Bliss Magazine December 2007
Intros to interviews are boring and cliché. No one ever writes good ones anymore. Basically, if you suck at interviewing, or the person you interviewed is a turd, a great way to cover that up is to write a clever intro. Like, I'd sit here and tell you some stuff about Chris Gregson and how good he is on a skateboard and what a cool cat he is. Or maybe even get real abstract and write something completely unrelated and pass it off as "cryptic art." But why would you want to hear me say it when I just spent an hour on the phone with him and you can read about it for yourself, right?
So Chris, I found six different Chris Gregson MySpace pages. Why do you have so many?
Are you serious? I have one. But I don't make my own MySpace pages.
Did you do the one with the Regina Spektor music on it?
Uh, no. I have like some sweet like banjo music.
Oh, I see. You're the one named "Fagasaurus."
That's me! What can I say?
Shelf appeal...
December 1, 2007
I was at Starbucks the other day and saw some holiday stuffed bears they were trying to sell. I thought there was far more potential for shelf appeal and increased sales just waiting to be discovered, so I re-merchandised them. If you ask me, this looks way more engaging than them just sitting there next to one another, no?
All up in Rome!
December 1, 2007
My friend Steven brought some Brink stickers to Rome a while back and hit up a local skate shop window. I'm soooooo international.
