Riding S(HD)tgun

After a lot of saving (a lot) I finally worked up enough dough to go HD. This was just a rushed test i put together to see what my new camera and cpu can do. This was just a stock lens and imovie so don't get too excited. I should have final cut in the next couple days and thats when the real fun starts.... RIDE SHOTGUN IN HD!!!

The RiCk: Riding Shotgun's Hater Enforcement

If you hate. be prepared to get hated on by this man.

Throwback Theatre: Some things are too good to watch only once.

Sorry Jesse, and sorry Getty. These are still some of my favorite clips to ever come out of Stockton. Go ahead and watch the fall at the end of Getty's montage. Rewind. Repeat. It will never get old. Then figure that he was still better than you in 2007.
Eli's art direction in the maneuver talk video is epic. Wish that dude was still around. enjoy.

come skate it may 1st!

the barrier/ quarter is about done. I know what your thinking... yes there will be plenty of other stuff there.

this dude pisses fun

Ivyn always got the fun shit on deck. Here is more evidence of him doing that kind of thing.

See you here...

Tales From The Road: Taylor's B-day

This was by far one of the funnest trips in recent memory. We met fairly early in the morning and met and Kenny's house. From there we set sail for Modesto in search of chill vibes, vices, and a good sesh.
After a 45-minute drive we arrived in Modesto and set-up for our first session. We ended up in a very well covered ledge in the industrial district of the city. Upon arrival we saw Joe Sudduth and some of the Street Science heads from Tracy already filming stuff really gnarly stuff. Those guys are always good for chill session so we stuck around and got ours.
After about an hour or so of skating, the "festivities" began. After a couple brews and blunts the group was loose. The rest of the day included a couple more ledge spots, plenty of soccer circles, a gnarly rail nobody wanted to skate, pizza, and rick going for broke on a drunk firecracker.

you really can't ask for much more on any trip, peep the photos:

Fresno-homo

A couple of months back we thought it would be a good idea to get our asses to Fresno in between downpours and get us some skating in.

Jesse V, Austen T, Bighead, Taylor W, Nick C, and me Kenny O took off! We hit up a plethora of spots, got lots of footage, and made this video for you to love.

Ups to Nick Crisosto for the filming(mostly) and editing(totally)

Ivyn's Spanos Montage

Dayyyumm.

I know Ivyn is really stoked on his Daily Grind Trailer edit, but this by far is one of his best works. Good music, good editing, fun skateboarding. not much else needed.
