Ryan Decenzo / Red Dragons Ad

A couple months ago, Ryan Decenzo spotted this roof gap when we were up in LA to shoot this trick. To think about it, I believe somebody already skated it, cause there was wood up there.

Anyways, a couple weeks later, Ryan was still in town and we were around the area and happened to snap a few. Thanks to Ryan and RDS for running this photo!


Here is another angle that didnt make the cut.

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!

Double the Decenzo Fun in Thrasher

The new knarly ass Thrasher came out today, with a totally gangster cover of Chris Cole and his Wallenburg fantasim. Also I was lucky enough to have some Decenzo love in this issue, starting with his Nollie of El Toro. I can't really say enough about this nollie.. cause it was insane. I will say, he ollied it first try to "warm up" for the nollie, which I thought was amazing enough. Also, I just remember him rolling away, it was just that fast. Boom. Done.

Congrats to Ryan for an amazing feat, but.. wait, theres more.


Also during this span of last minute tricks for his United By Fate , he completely went nuts on this old school spot, Willoughby 10 Rail. Switch 180 to crooks in the middle. Amir hooked it up with the filming to make it look soooo ripping. RDS used my photo, thanks guys - Watch Ryan's video part here.

Cooper Wilt in Thrasher Spread

Cooper Wilt was kind enough to call me to shoot a trick one day. When I finally go on the road, it took me a while to drive up to this spot in the valley, and I was pretty harshly late. When I showed up he was already way involved in the trick and stomping it nicely.

Chris Haslam was shooting the sequence with a digicam that he owns, and as soon as I set up he puts his down and within about 10 tries Cooper stomps one and rolls away. Haslam looks right at me with open eyes and says very sarcastically, "Damn dude, you just roll up all easy and just snap the shot, eh? 5 mins and its done, what a rough day at work!"

I shrug my shoulders, give a little aloof smile and proof/save the sequence. Cooper gives a couple more to try and land a crispier one but our session is cut short due to the police which end up doing the whole "Everyone sitdown and listen to us talk for about 2 hours" speech.


He scrolls around the crowd and asks each kid how old they are. He then proceeds and pauses on Haslam (with the full on entire face beard) and says, "Who's your kid?" Or maybe it was "Why you here?" naturally assuming he doesn't skate. The look on Haslam's face is super funny, and his reply is "Uhh, dude I'm from Canada, and I skate.. But I just didn't bring my board."

I think the cop gives him a look like, "Suuuurrrreeeee" and moved on to the next kid. Hahah, long but randomly entertaining day.
