Last Sunday, Active had a Girl/Chocolate signing in Brea and Liberty had an éS signing an hour later right down the street. How convenient!
I couldn't resist asking for this photo.
Devine showed up late and kids went wild.
Erica cleans up.

Flick: Toy Machine’s Lurk Fest
By Rob Brink
The Skateboard Mag June 2008
So I guess Nick Trapasso is the hot shit these days. He can make even the biggest tour video haters actually like a tour video because he’s in it. And we all know tour videos are total throwaway footage, right? That’s why they are free! No, it’s true. I read it on the message boards.
This new Toy Machine tour video, Lurk Fest, is hereby proclaimed officially cool and acceptable in the skateboarding industry. Ed, Turtle Boy and crew can totally rest easy tonight, knowing they got the stamp of approval from some of the most intelligent, all-knowing finger-on-the-pulse and important aliased people in skateboarding.

If you don't mind waiting for a 200 meg 10 minute clip to load and some sporadic sketchy audio, and watching a nervous and flu-ridden version of me trying to be funny, then here ya go. The Tim O'Connor Adidas Roast. These are jokes. You know... fun? Somehow I didn't catch a beating. Hugs 'n handshakes 'n other peaceful bro gestures were exchanged with all when all was said and done... phew. I even saw Reese in the men's room at the TWS awards recently and we totally bonded!

Ever heard of Caligula? My dear friend Cintra has a new book coming. It's been a while. I'm excited.

Sometimes I get really bored and walk to the beach to watch the Alpha Males fester. Their behavior and rituals bewilder me to no end. I'm literally thrown into a whirlwind of confusion and ponderousness, mainly because I'll never be able to comprehend why Alpha Males engage in the behavior in which they do. Or maybe it's just so goddamn hilarious I can't figure out how anyone could possibly lack such self-awareness. Chalk it up to genetics, I suppose.
One of the things...

Caswell recommended this one yesterday. Even if it's fake, I'm still laughin'.

Emerica's Wild Ride ended in NJ a week and a half ago. I showed you this little teaser already, so here's a few more flicks.
Sometimes signings wear Jerry out. He also has really good hair.

First Indy, now Black Label & Leeper! What a week! Not sure what I did, but it's nice to be loved. Even if it's on accident or by coincidence.

An Andrew Reynolds frontside flip will always make your day. Here Andrew closes the curtains on the Wild Ride in Sayreville, NJ.
And just for shits 'n giggles, check out this photo of another Reynolds frontside flip I shot four years ago, in April of 2004 on the same exact quarterpipe.
More to come from Go Skateboarding Day, Wild Ride, Flip Couch Tour demo and on and on...
