Mandatory Bloggery- 2016 Rumble In Ramona Madness

Holy smokes it took me a while to get to this blog and to go through all of the photos.

Some serious shredding went down on this day.

I remember in the mid-2000's in The Skateboard Mag, they covered the first Rumble in Ramona and it looked so rad. I was really hyped to get invited to the 6th annual rumble! 

I had work in the morning and picked up the bub Piech and we hit interstate 8 east for our adventure.

Lots of people.

Mini ramp for the not-so-gnar.

Ed Dominick's band. Can't recall their name.

Lineup for the day.

Skeleton Key headquarters.

The bub Lefty was there to kick ass, chug beers and shred the ramp!
This guy is one hundred percent stoke!

Cab, legend.

Ban This, 1989

The days challenges.

Germ and Jason Carney.

Old dudes were getting in on the action too!

Chris Russell about to get hesh.

Jimmy Wilkins eyeing the prize.

Found some shade. It was hot and dry out in Ramona.

Grindline skateparks crew. These guys know how to get it done when it comes to masonry.

I seriously can't get enough of their sound. I fucking love it.
Skate Rock to the core.

This thing is a camping war wagon!

Thanks Jason for the invite. It was a blast.
Cheers bub!

Seven Steps To Heaven, Maple Skateboards

Beautiful cars everywhere.

I had to fan out on Steve Caballero. Straight up legend.
Never left the board. Stuck with his sponsors through thick and thin.
And he was nice enough to take a picture with me! Respect.

Skateboarding Floridian legend, Lance Conklin!

SOTY and the cool kids.

Competition stance. No denying this mans skills/talent. Straight up annihilator.

Back in '97/'98 Andy MacDonald taught me how to lipslide down the square pyramid rail at the old Mission Valley skatepark. Dan Byars was there (he drove), it was sick.

Junkyard.

See the grom floating? So sick.

Lefty, waiting for his turn to drop in.

Fuck yea, Lefty.

Post slam. He got worked.

Lord Salba!

Beer run.

Piech representing.

Insert caption here.

Piech was feeling sexy.

Andy MacDonald

Doing what he does best.

High flying rippers everywhere.

Mctwist.

The sun setting was an awesome sight. The silhouette of the skater is a added bonus!

Invert.

Low lighting equals blurry photo.

High stamina these vert skaters. A different breed.

Skateboarding brought us all together.

Lefty was dusted. MVP of the day I say.

Piech was getting weird. You know he's hammered when the shirt comes off.
The dude with the make-up was a singer in one of the bands. He was stoked on Piech.

Then some dude took a heavy slam. It bummed me out so I decided to go enjoy the music.

Pretty psyched I got to see Grindline the Band. Skate rock legends.

Turn out the lights, the part is over.
'Til next year...

The next morning, egg in a basket. Love this when its cooked in butter.

Video recap coming soon!

Video- Epic Rap Battles- Tony Hawk VS. Wayne Gretzky

This had me laughing my ass off.

Two sports legends.

Who won? Obviously I'm with the Bird man on this one.

Enjoy!

Mandatory Bloggery- Another Quicky of Random Pics

Another day, another blog...

More blogs in the works. Rumble in Ramona 2016 blog is coming!.....

Thanks Google for randomly bringing up this photo of my mom!
Love you mom! Super Bowl party 2011. Giants vs. Patriots

Bath time.

Island resident Ryan Boney always shows up to the park the moment we open and gets his solo shred on. Early grab backside air.

Eggs in a basket with hash browns. The ketchup looks like a garden snake!

Love this little man.

Flash back to this sweet gem. Took two days to drain it, couple of hours to shovel up the mud and another hour to let it dry. It was a very rewarding experience.

Oh yea, the majority of the coping is stacked up in my back yard.

Poods park. No filter on this photo, but I did increase the saturation level to 100 percent. I love the clouds and shadows.

Not all graffiti is bad. If any place should be a legal graffiti zone, it should be skateparks.
I'd rather see it there than on my property or my neighbors fence.

The kids are alright.

Experiencing night shots. I really like my roommates car.

Halloween was upon us!
Yea, I'm that far behind on stuff. Don't judge me, I was born this way.

I'll get there when I get there.
