Jason Wakuzawa / Remembering the Turf Video

Jason Wakuzawa! YES!! I have been waiting for this part to go online! Thanks Turf.

This video brings back memories of our huge 10 country trip to Europe for 7 weeks with Ezekiel. It was called the Deported Tour with Derek Fukuhara, Jason Wakuzawa, Mark Stewart, plus met up with Oli Telisch, Jeremy Reinhard, Marty Murawski for 2 days and Louie Barletta and Gaston Francisco, who came for the last two weeks. One of the best times of my life.

Thanks to all who helped us on that trip. Ezekiel Clothing, Our mighty leader: Oli Telish, Esa from Control, our Russian Distributors: Denis and Natalia, Aldo from Amsterdam, Dave and Jack from London and Love from Sweden.

Damn that was some good times! Le Sigh.

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!

SEAN CONOVER in CONCRETE PHOTO ANNUAL

Concrete's Photo Annual featured two of my more favorite photos that I had been saving for a good photo feature such as this. Oli Teilsch is like my brother from another mother in Germany. He is the editor of Monster Mag, TM at Ezekiel Europe and rips at skating too, I love that kid!! So when Ezekiel was out there on our Deported Tour, he took the crew to Belgium and the entire team shot photos within a block of this central plaza. Afterwards everyone showered and proceeded to get drunk and walked around the city. Fucking rad.

Sean Conover's photo was shot in Texas, during our Southern Hotspotality Tour. This tour is when Sean took all the rocks out of his pockets. He destroyed everywhere we skated, it was the most impressive thing I have ever seen! Fully backing that kid! He was super patient with me as I was fiddling with the flashes inside the caves, running in then shooting a tester, then running back in again.. Thanks everyone for getting this to happen!

SLACK | DEPORTED TOUR

I finally got around to getting all our articles from our Ezekiel "Deported Tour" last year. This is my first tour article, especially one from Europe. It was in Slack, a CCS style magazine from Germany. Thanks Oli for setting this up. If you look carefully or follow our Ezekiel coverage, alot of the photos are double angles from other European articles we had during our time in Europe.
Go ahead and click above to view the article, and book your next flight to Europe already, duh!

BRAD and OLI

Here was two more couch guests a while back.

Brad Sheppard, the canadian who randomly comes into town quite often. If you know Brad then you know he rips!

Oli T, my brother from a different german mother, he also came into town for some business.

Welcome to Los Angeles! (doesnt it look like their wearing the same shirt?)
