It's been so darn long since I last blogged, I can't remember whether I posted these pics or not....
Either way, enjoy the hype!

Single fin.
Adding extra cheese and pepperoni is a must.
More work views.
The 'ol Calrsbad Safety Center...
Had a good time with the bub @lotharthelibarian. He and his pooch hooked me up with some broke skateboards and a good time! Thanks bub.
Been giving random brands of $10 whiskey a go. This one wasn't too bad.
Food Bowl.
Lemon Grove area. Across the street from Home Depot. Somebody go git it!
Picture me rollin'.
Wish I had the pop to grind this. Oh well, it's knobbed anyway.
Follow @knobworthit on Instagram for some absurdity.
Lefty and Larue.
Two beautiful humans balls deep in some ice cream cones.
Big kids in heat.
Rolled up on the session and people were getting down.
And I mean that in the literal way of that people were fucking hucking.
First time meeting Adam Arunski. Hungry am filming for the upcoming Zero Skaeboards film "Damn It All". This wasn't the make.
He slammed a few down. I was only taking photo's 'cuz I didn't wanna poach the clip.
Then I'll be getting e-mails from the Chief's lawyer...
Rueben Barrack hucking a big spin over the rail. This trick, for me, is crazy to watch. Mainly 'cuz I can't do regular stance big spins.
As the bubs were getting closer to landing their tricks, we all started getting quiet.
Like waiting for lightning to strike. You know it's gonna happen. Just gotta be looking in the right direction.
I jokingly said to Q-Perez that he should basckside flip it. I know the bub can. He's got it like that. He walks to the top of the set. Rolls up twp times, and on the third attempt he cracks such a beautiful ollie. Rolls past me and say's "Nah, I'm good!"
Then the bub Nick Suarez starts hucking a backside flip over this behemoth. This was his first attempt.
Rueben was in the middle of the field, shield in hand battling his big spin...
Love is pain, pain is skateboarding.
Adam was getting closer and closer......
Then...
Y'know that lightning I was talking about?....
It's bottled up in hungry am's like Adam.
Plus, I'm in awe...
....Of people that can...
.....Pop a frontside flip this fucking beautiful!
Eyeing the landing...
...Bracing for impact...
....Absorbing the impact...
...Sticking the landing...
....And riding away in victory!
The bub has that young T-Gunz style.
Skateboarding is a helluva drug!
I'm just happy to hang out and witness the stoke!
Pure stoke!
Eye of the fucking tiger!
Vibes were high! I brought Vinny a beach chair from my car so he didn't have to sit on the hot asphalt.
Rueben was getting worked but not giving up.
Skateboarding's "Rudy".
Pretty sick to watch lightning strike twice.
And the bub Nick Suarez was more than happy to make my backside flip request come true.
It was so fucking quiet when he popped his board...
...With a flap of his arms...
....And a flick of the foot....
I suppose this is the moment where you black out and let total muscle memory take over.
....That catch!
The landing!
Absorbing and balancing...
That fucking steezy roll away!
Reminded me of Erik Ellington in his 'Misled Youth' era.
Big swingin' duck stance!
You know the bub rolled a fatty after this one!
Eye of the fucking TIGER!!!!
Hugs and rejoicing.
Skateboarding is the shit.
I was chilling in a beach chair too.
Jesse Silvey on that filming duty.
Rueben's battle continued.
Feet were feeling sweaty.
It's not how you falll...
...But how you choose to get back up.
Bubs!
Words of encouragement.
The bub's legs were aching.
Huck some more.
Encouragement from Q.
This was his last attempt.
Popped, spun and caught perfectly.
To a broken board and a snapped spirit.
You'll get it next time bub, if you haven't already...
Akexis!
I dragged this lamp post up the stairs for the bubs to goof off on.
The view with Q before I boogy-boarded down it.
Another spot check right by the school.
Bump to bar spot check.
This is the spot that Larue had a Lurkville ad doing a fastplant.
The session was getting down.
I'd love to come back and give it an ollie one day...
Popped...
And grabbed!
I really enjoy skate photography.
Flight of the boarders.
Guess that trick...
Dusted.
The light looks cool in these pics!
Footplant.
Squad was dusted but successful! A true motivator!
I love everyone in this photo.
Two dollar corn bread. Had to give it a go....
Golden brown 'cuz I glazed that bad boy in butter.
Victory meal.
