Boneless 'zine!
November 9, 2009
When a 12-year-old comes up to me at the Johnny Romano Make a Wish event asking if I'll check out his 'zine I say, "Hell yeah!" I certainly wasn't this ambitious at 12. Probably would have jumped started my career way better. 'Lil man even got a Sieben interview! Nice one, Rye!
Quote of the week... from the maestro...
November 9, 2009
"I've spent my entire life in radio. And out of all the guys I've ever met who were in charge of things... and I've worked for hundreds of guys... I'd say maybe two knew anything that I could even respect. Like... guys that kind of had interesting thoughts on radio and how it should go down... two."
-Howard Stern
Make A Wish...

I was lazy this weekend and shot two sequences. Luis Tolentino made it easy for me. I only aimed the camera at him twice and both were makes. Conserving megabytes for sure...
The top of that rail is really high.
Double heel.
Makin' wishes and makin' out!
Let's keep this Fletcher thing going...
November 4, 2009
I didn't know this was happening while doing the Fletcher blitz last week, but coincidentally, he just had this little part come out... and from the looks of some of the etnies he was wearing, I can easily confirm that some of the footage is over three and four years old while other stuff is pretty recent. Fuck yeah, Fletch!
Toy Machine Helloween!

There was a manny pad in Leo's way. So he backside flipped it.
Leo... avoiding the manual pad again.
Guess who the new Toy rider is!
Billy violates the Tempster.
Phelps was there!
Harmony was a penguin.
Austin was an owl.
I think this kid won the costume contest.
This kid didn't.
Ladies.
Captain of the Machine.
Nick Merlino. Frontside flip.
Planet of the Laypes. Johnny ollies the gap and an owl while an old lady in PJs and Phelps gawk.
Austin. Gap to tail.
I love Ed, but there's something really funny about this gap to noseblunt slam while wearing green onesie pajamas, with "Phelps" cheering him on and Leo tailgating. It's the chaos that is Toy Machine.
Strange World...
October 30, 2009
In an attempt to avoid the seemingly popular "I'll snarkily rant about a new skate video ad nauseum on my blog" thing that's been all the rage lately... I'll just say that Marisa ripped and Garrett Hill has come a long way. Can't wait to see his part again. Oh... and here's a warehouse video part worth noting before you see Strange World...
Hug the nearest hipster...

It's a day of mourning for them... And if they actually have lenses in their glasses, maybe you could take those off and wipe the tears dry for them too.
Flat boobs...
October 26, 2009
This was meant to go in the Damn Am "coverage," but I blew it... I hope it doesn't become a trend with the ladies. I, myself, prefer round boobs. Not that you asked.

Oklahomie gap to 5-0.
Lazy costume.
Cute shoes.
Cute girl. In black and white... for art's sake.
Read on for more!
Luan has a large kickflip.
Dylan got bloody.
This guy barged the course... hammered. It was awesome.
But not before he took another drink.
"ALVAAAAAAAA for liiiiiiifffffeeeee!"
Schaefer had to regulate... in full costume.
"Not so fast, buddy!"
"Go back where you came from!"
Dude from Black Label had to get pushy...
"What happened?"
Derek Elmendorf sports the "Man G." Why isn't this dude called "Deathwish" anymore?
