The banger...

I'm sure you'll see all sorts of Manny Mania clips until you're numb in the skull in the coming days, but this is really the only one that matters...

This is the only non-etnies stuff I filmed in Tampa. I wish I skated half as fast as Dennis...
Drop in, push twice, powerslide, kickflip wallride!

It doesn't make sense to me... but hey... I'm sure I bewilder people regularly too.
I went to the Mindfield premiere and all I got was...
January 31, 2009
... this lame clip of a chick being totally zany at a skateboarding event.
Freddy hits the TF!

Freddy is my friend Dustin's dog. He's little and rips the etnies TF daily.
The best things I saw at ASR...
January 25, 2009
... Were all during the Grind for Life Jump Ramp Jam. That's right: tits, a wheelchair backflip, an axe murderer by Kris Markovich and the most cutting edge photojournalism ever witnessed by man (ie: using a MacBook Air/PhotoBooth** program to shoot photos of skateboarding.)
**Please note that this takes extreme skill, precision and timing, as PhotoBooth has a three-second delay from when you push the trackpad button and the built in iSight camera above the LCD actually takes the photo. But this three-second window allows this fledgling photographer just enough time to spin the laptop around in his hands, aim it blindly at the skater who is about 30 feet away and then steady things up before the shot fires. For all you PC users, also know that there is no zoom or focus and the "flash" is nothing more than the MacBook LCD going all white for a brief second in time.
And for the record, seeing Aaron "Wheels" Fotheringham attempt the backflip was better than the tits, or any of the aforementioned, for that matter.
Best quotes of '08: Bryan Herman
January 6, 2009
I decided to switch this up, since I'm just beyond halfway through, and give you some audio of one of my favorite stories of the year. I laughed more during my interview with Bryan Herman than I've ever laughed in an interview before. Mostly just because of the demeanor in which he says things. So here Bryan is, talking about Antwuan Dixon stealing his car and a time when he shaved off his own eyebrows.
Darrell got robbed...

... but sometimes a miss is just as impressive as the make. I like Darrell.
Remember that other weekend?

The one where I raved about Sheck and Darrell? Well here's Darrell warming up switch and regs. This is what some people call "throwaway."
