Where?

Alternate Angles.

These are all a bunch of skate photos from the last couple weekends. For whatever reason I kept being able to get a bunch of different shots of the same trick. Rather than choosing my favorites and cutting out the rest I decided to just post all the multiples.


I think Michigonians Jim and Duke left town already, but it was fun seshing with them while they were here. Here is Duke riding on a wall at UCLA.


Another angle showing Jim filming and Campos lurking. Check out Jim's site: Shred Til Yer Dead for some good stuff.


This rail is at a Walgreen's nearby my house, but I'd never noticed it before. It looks sick, but it's pretty hard to skate because of the cross bars on the inside. They didn't stop Alec Beck from coming through with a smith grind though, he just popped out before getting stuck.


Austin Squire was also there killing it with a back tail.


More Squire back tail. I can't decide if the pole is really annoying or kinda interesting.


Alec's smith grinds look good.


Fucking around with some overhead fish action haha.


From down under.


I've always been a fan of Austin's steeze.


Arrows.


I like Beck's shadow in this one.


Coming through with the steezy hand drag haha.


After hitting that Walgreen's rail we came across this parked truck with a flap at the back that would of been epic for a wallie. Unfortunately a cop drove by while people were standing on top of the truck with boards, he was sketched out and made us leave.


So instead of giving up on wallies we went to this nearby sketchy spot. Alec wallied off the fence to the sidewalk no problem.





He actually filmed another trick here that is better than just a wallie, but you'll have to wait until the footage comes out.


Natural light.


Yesterday I showed up at this spot in Santa Monica and Austin was already getting up on this ridiculous 50-50.


This is the same rail that Reynold's back fiftied a while back.


I was pretty bummed this Jag was in the way, so I tried incorporating it into my shot.


It didn't seem like Austin was gonna be able to pull it because he was getting so tired from putting all his effort into pushing to get enough speed. Thankfully Alec borrowed my car and towed Austin up to it.


This shot is of the make, and damn was it good. The footage looks amazing. Austin is coming up.


Today we skated Century City for a bit. We were only at this bank spot for a few minutes but that didn't stop Campos from getting a quick Fitz clips.

Little Men Getting Up.

Some skate photos from the last couple sessions.


This just a snap shot I took from a session last, last weekend. It's coverted into b/w to pretend like its artsy. Anyway, eventhough its a shitty photo, look at Justin Cefai's epicly steezy back smith on the tall end of UCLA's public policy ledge.


This past weekend we ended up at UCLA again and people were skating the top of one of these tables in North Campus. Just like JC, Alec Beck was getting into some proper back smiths.


I don't really think of Alec as the type of skater with monster pop, but I should probably rethink that. I wish someone was there to film this.


This crook was no problem for Max Schwartz. He's practically kneeing himself in the face.


Another back smith from Beck.


Suraj Bharj, not discouraged by his short stature, got up with this front nose.


Ooo getting all experimental on you guys. Check Max claiming it in the background. Suraj - front nose.


Cefai is mean. Here he takes out Suraj with a steezed out and not at all posed 90s style front crook. He's even pointing at him with a face that says "You got nothing short man!"


Did I mention that Suraj is short?


The next day I got started super late (as usual) and ended up on 20th street in Santa Monica. Justin Cefai was quite the gentleman and popped over this fire hydrant per my request.


Another view.


There were some intense light beams boucing off the building across the street and landing on Colin.


Just down the street is this beastly ledge. Josh Campos is pretty short (although not as short as the Indian man obviously), but he had no problems with this huge front nose over the planter gap.


He stuck it a bunch of times. Campos kills.
