Your wedding day is the most special day of your life. So be sure to document the occasion with professional photographs taken next to the dumpsters and pallets of corrugated recyclables in the Laguna Beach Whole Foods parking lot.

This photo... and her notable nipples.

... And I got lots of hugs, hospitality and had a great time. Tilt Mode Bonus Round is amazing. Jose got drunk pretty early and the line waiting to get into the second showing was pretty damn long.

The photos...

I knew it was gonna be a great trip when I hadn't even left Laguna and already saw a tricked out SUV segway on the road.

Oh cool. High risk of terrorist attack. They sealed off the airport for a half hour while I was on line for security. No one could get in, or out, or move from where they were. According to one of the airport employees, "someone either snuck out or snuck in." Great.

So I get to baggage and look who I see toting his TWS award with him! Fuck yeah, Omar!

Sick ledges at San Jose airport.

Hunter took us to the house he grew up in.

Clyde Singleton board!

Omar being totally sensitive.

Hunter is pro now.

Hunter's dog!

Then we went for hot dogs!

Omar mayos up a weiner.

Jose was on fire while the sun was still shining.

"Yo, let's get a photo together!"

"It's not for fashion, it's my lady's jacket, dude."

Jose danced through the streets.

Jose and Caswell were happy to see one another.

"Hey Jerry, I need a photo of you for the Emerica site so GSD doesn't get bummed at me."

23 military rifles at the airport checking in before me. Goodbye San Jose! And thanks.

Tampa Pro '09
Photos by Rob Brink
Kingpin, June 2009

Normally I don't really post any published photo work as part of my portfolio, 'cuz I'd never dare call myself a "photographer," but Kingpin asked me for some photos from Tampa Pro this year and ended up making it a full-pager, plus I've never really been featured in Kingpin before, so I figured it was worth it.

In no particular order:

1. Joey Brezinski skates Wallenberg.
2. It seems shorts are still okay to film in.
3. Arriving at 9:30 is the smartest thing you can do.
4. Corey Duffel hugs a black guy.
5. The Pope showed up and gave a really long speech.
6. Bare tits and married men motorboating on stage.
7. Siouxsie is definitely still better than Morrissey.
8. Coffins are the new combos.
9. Porn stars handing out trophies: The best move since Feedback and Modus.
10. Great video. Great night.

Nice title...

Call Rich. He's in Hoboken, NJ...

...and one wallride:

Collin Provost

Stefan: Tre flip manny... so what if there's a tail drag or two?

Mike Mo did these three tricks back to back:

Hang ten 360 shuv manny.

Switch flip manny.

Frontside flip fakie nose manny.

Including Tim and Stefan...

More than once, actually. First, by vacuuming up broken glass in front of his dogs in a rather domesticated fashion... then when I read his new Venture interview.

"How come there's no suction?"

"What? No dustbuster?"
