...This went down. Heading to Downtown Showdown now. I'm not sure topping this photo is possible for me personally, but I'll sure as hell try.
Chris Cole won GvR...
October 11, 2008
Like many people, I used to kinda hate on Cole for his infamous fresh-to-hesh, enjoi-to-Zero transition. I gladly ate those words long ago. In typical fashion, Chris Cole destroyed GvR and helped me win 150 bucks. Thanks, Chris! I ended up with a bunch of sequences of him... well... because he lands lots of tricks.
This was the biggest inward heelflip I'd ever seen.

Best of Japan...

Here's a few of my favorite photos from Japan a few weeks ago...
Leeper
Malto
Phot-ode to Caswell
October 9, 2008
Caswell told me he was in SoCal with no plane ticket home for a few weeks, so he decided to come to GvR. He ripped. I shot numerous photos and sequences.
Front 360 to shoe blowout
Bluetooth romance...
October 9, 2008
I always find the fact that people do something really special (like watching a sunset over the ocean in Laguna Beach) with their loved ones with a bluetooth headset jammed in their ear really intriguing... and really douchey.
Jereme's beef...
October 8, 2008
Jereme Rogers was very opinionated about Chris Cole's contest winning trick selection during the GvR finals game of S.K.A.T.E. Here he discussing the "no gay tricks during S.K.A.T.E." etiquette with Malto for the Fuel TV cameras, as well as demonstrating that he too can do a frontside 180 grab up the doubleset.
The Sinner...
October 8, 2008
Pat oozing some sin at GvR.
Brink: Who has your favorite meltdown?
Bryan Herman: The Sinner has a pretty good one.
Brink: Who?
Bryan Herman: Pat Pasquale. He’ll try a trick fucking twice and just freak out. “Fuuuuck! “Fuck!” He will be pissed as fuck. Lizard King had a pretty good meltdown the other day. Freaking out. He really didn’t want to skate.
Brink: Why do you call Pat “The Sinner”?
Bryan Herman: Because he’s fucking full of sin, man. He’s no joke.
GvR bangers!

Many were hailing this doubleset nosegrind pop out by Mr. Caswell Berry one of the gnarliest tricks of the day... I tend to agree.
Figgy's first try kickflip 5-0 wasn't half bad either... Figgy was responsible for the sickest heat of the day being the sickest heat of the day.
Sleeping with the enemy...
October 6, 2008
I'm goofy-footed. However, two-timing strategy won me $150 this weekend... but not in any sort of unlawful office betting pool or anything like that. I swear.
