So I went to Hawaii with the etnies surf team to do some website stuff, catalog stuff, whatever stuff. etnies hosted a party for Jamie O'Brien's signature sandal and Ima Robot played. Then Don Brown and CJ Kanuha hit the umbrella beer bong dude!
I dunno. Lots happened. So many random skaters were in town. Stefan Janoski, Elissa Steamer, Omar Hassan, John Cardiel, Chris Haslam, Paul Machnau, etc., etc. Who cares about details? Photos are better, right? So ya, here's me chilling with pro surfers and shit.
Always dope to have some human shooting photos of you while you're licking your asshole, right?
In the wake of Fully Flared, Eric Fletcher rocked a few tribute tricks last week. For example, the "all-the-rage" smith to kickflip out, and this total kickflip grind super combo to revert.
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...
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.
