Derek Fukuhara in the Hippy Coffin

The hippy coffin, hahah!
This trick/photo was the brainchild of Derek and I.. We actually attempted to create it best we could. But what really made even sweeter, we actually notified that Skatebook was interested in a Filmbot Grip Ad, so this picture was not only fun, but served a purpose and went for a Filmbot Grip Ad in the Book #6.

Click here to watch the video and enjoy the grip. Thanks.

Evan Smith and DC Team, Berric'd

I don't normally blog about the Berrics, I mean, why do I have to. Didn't you know it's like "The biggest site in skateboarding, bro."

But all seriousness, I am just hyped that the homies: Matt Miller (watch his DC part, whaaa) and Evan Smith is killing the the Berrics and doing it for DC Shoes. Nuff Said.

Red Bull Manny Mania Slashed

Going through some old photos for a project I am working on with Red Bull, I discovered I had lots of random portraits and shots that were taken during Manny Mania 2009 and Manny Mania Amateur Los Angeles, that I never thought to layout.

Shoulda Woulda Coulda...Ezekiel Ad

John Lupfer and I shot this photo on a nice weekend day trek in San Diego with the homies Derek and Vince joining also. Always good times with Lupfer.


Recently, I got hit up about Johns new ad and kinda got heckled about the Ezekiel campaign of a reversal mirror imagery being added to Johns photo. Yeah, yeah I get it.. "Was it switch, was it regular?" Due to contrary and wishful belief, I don't do everything at Ezekiel (like layout the ads), and much like the rest of the industry, not every company is staffed entirely with die-hard skateboarders.


So agreed, if I were to choose, the layout below (which I created after the fact) would have been chosen. But, hey those are the advertising deadline ups and downs.

Speaking to John about the ad, his response was "I don't care, people who skate know, so it doesn't really matter. It makes em get a second glance." Hmmm.. Thats a good take on it.

Thanks to John and Ezekiel!

RYAN DECENZO goes PRO!

Sean Conover Slashed

One of those spots where a member in the van spots it, someone screams "Pullover!!" and everyone jumps out, with the excitement that they struck gold and found something that no one else has discovered.

Sean Conover Backside Flips a spot we find while driving through Texas on our Ezekiel Southern HOTSPOTatility Tour. Conover, we miss you, lets go skate, dooood!
