Ezekiel Northwest Tour, Slashed

Found a random film scan on my computer from our Ezekiel Northwest Tour we did last year. One of best times ever.

I think this was from one of our last days in Seattle, WA. Lou wanted to get home after this and drove 18 hours straight back to Yreaka. I do remember, this was shot on my Yashica T4, one of my sharpest camera's ever.


More Slashed?

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.

Nothing special, but here they are in more of a higher rez. Vince's Backside tail, was already slashed here. Check out the post at: Trip Me, in SF - Secret Photos Uncovered.

The Derek Fukuhara Interview

We did an Ezekiel Interview with Derek Fukuhara for the website, not to long ago. Then one random boring day, I laid it out in one of those magazine pdf styles thinggy. I dunno why, I think I just was bored, but either-way here they are.


The words are the same in both, but click the top for the Ezekiel link, and the image below to download the PDF. (right click = download linked file)

Decenzo's Road to San Jose Trip Video

This is from the same Ryan and Scoot + Derek and Cooper trip to San Jose I took a couple months back! The video was a bit light on footage, cause some of the tricks was on Ryan's VX, and he is traveling the world so nobody could get it. But, this is what we got, and my good friend Megan Fox wanted to be in it, so after her begging for a couple days.. I let her. It's no biggie, just watch and have a blast. Some of the clips were filmed by: Massimo Legittimo, thanks Mass. Thanks for SBC for posting this, and Red Bull for helping us on the trip.

TRIPPED AGAIN, IN SF (DAY2)

Part 2 of the Ezekiel Trip is posted -


"We packed all our things into one bag, and almost forget it all in SF. Plus due to contrary belief, it's not THAT hard surviving for a weekend on only 2 bottles of water and a Red Bull. I guess most people are just weaklings in comparison."

Check out part 1 of our tour while your at it.

Trip me, in SF.

Ezekiel Clothing posted a photo blogging tour about our recent trip to SF.

"Randy told me he just watched Forrest Gump, and is re-thinking his skate career. Almost there Randy."

Jason Wakuzawa and Derek Fukuhara 411VM ReDux

I found this re-edit online of Derek Fukuhara and Jason Wakuzawa's 411VM part. This is the text along with the video: "I made this because I hated the song that they used in the actual video but I really liked the skating in it. So I remixed it to a song given to me by a friend (Malkovich Music) and added my own animation at the beginning. You can probably find the original version on YouTube and tell me which one you think is better! Honesty is welcomed and appreciated." - Miles Wilkerson - http://vimeo.com/turbovision

Poloroid's from the BBQ, Build and Beers

Derek Fukuhara took some "roids" of our backyard BBQ, BUILD and BEERS party last sunday. Thanks everyone, it was a blast!

Derek Fukuhara in the Digital Trailer

Derek Fukuhara Slashed

Lurking through the files and found a crooks photo of Derek Fukuhara when we were on our Portugal trip earlier this year. It was obviously the same session as this photo, and Derek was just slashing around. That was a great trip, and we just enjoy'd life. Skatetrip was what it was.. but, it was quite the vacation! Thanks Oli, Louie, Derek and the Ezekiel Euro team!

Derek Fukuhara in Thrasher Magazine

About 10 of us headed over to this new spot which Amir told us about. Bank to wall to manny!? Crazy. Well as you might have seen in Derek's "Get Off Me" Part (coming soon on Thrasher Magazine) the day went on with him trying a wallride to manny.

This took him while to just time and balance correctly. After landed, everyone was skating around doing wallrides and other various random wall stuff, and he was progressively landing fakie on the pad. A shout out from the crowd, "Hey, do a wallride to fakiemanny?" Hmmm, this could work, and about 8 tries later, you see the result below.


After I asked Derek, did he know he was gonna 180 out, his response was "Anyway my board was gonna go, I was gonna follow." Thanks to Thrasher and Derek!

Mark Frolich in Skateboarder

On the last international trip I went on to Portual with Louie and Derek, we also had our Ezekiel International team with us, starting with Jart Pro Mark Frolich. Whoa, this dude rips!
So we head to this chest high out bar, which if you flip over to one side, you obviously crash into the stairs, so Mark hauls ass and rips a backside 180 nosegrind probably in like 10 tries. Soo cool! It was a super bright day so we pretty much had our flashes on top of him. Thinking back.. that was a good trip. Thanks to Mark, Oli and Skateboarder!

Derek Fukuhara's Ezekiel Ad

Derek and I spent a day at Venice beach a while back with Ryan Spencer, Darien and Vince. We went to a whoopty ledge and If you have been to this spot before you know how sandy it gets. So after a couple custom made leaf brooms we made a little pathway to his backside crailtail. Conveniently, Ezekiel needed an photo for an ad in the next couple days, so it got laid out almost instantly. If digital photography wasn't instant gratification enough, seeing it in print a month later makes it all that much sweeter. Thanks to Derek and all the broom makers.

Louie Barletta graces The Photo Issue of Skateboarder

I don't remember if I blogged this (blogging seems to be my pathetic way of scheduling my life) but Louie Barletta, Derek Fukuhara and I went to Portugal a month or so back. It was a rad 10 day trip, with not very much drinking, or partying, just more skating, chilling and hanging out with friends.. It was rather nice change. We were taken to this awesome huge metal sculpture which was the town center for this little port for sailors or something. Had a beautiful view of the refinery with millions and millions of boats floating on the water.

How this photo came around, was we were shown the spot on night before, where it was too dark to skate, but I was able to shoot some cool sunset photos of the spot. Then the next day, we just came back about an hour earlier, about dusk, and the guys just messed around a bit, and we shot some cool silhouette/sunset photos. This photo I really enjoyed shooting, maybe it's even... artsy? Haha.

Hendrik shot one from the other side of the structure, that ended up to become a cover for a German Magazine called Monster.

Thanks Louie and Skateboarder for the hookup! I will end this post on his quote that is in the magazine:

"This spot was in Portugal and the run was was right in front of this really old blue collar bar. After every attempt, I would have the entire bar heckling me. I tried to explain that their jeers were falling on deaf ears because I couldn't understand Portuguese. Well as luck would have it, I landed my trick and one of the guys from the bar, with concrete all over his well-worn overalls, came over to me and said in perfect English, "That was nice but I'd much rather have seen a hardflip." - Louie Barletta, No Comply.

Here was the original file which was much more saturated and digitally well.. digital.
