Three Stair Ledge

Been to this sort of downhill three stair ledge in Silverlake three times recently. I already posted the photos I shot of Justin doing noseblunts from my first time there, here's what I got the other two days.


Josh Campos getting started with a back lip.


More backside skidding from Campos.


Then Josh stepped up to a back noseblunt.


I got a lot of shots of this trick.




Even more angles of this trick on my flickr.


Justin Cefai was there again, working on a steezy switch back lip.


I love the font of the GIANT SAVINGS.


Some of the Sugar/Goldstar guys randomly showed up. Billy Roper was doing some steezy blunts to fakie.


More blunt fakie.


Popping out out to fakie. There is another angle on flickr.


Matty Lemond was doing some proper back lips.


Another angle on flickr.


Boss man, Marko Jazbinzek working on his noseblunts. Another one on flickr.


Suraj and Josh perched as the session winds down.




"Un-American Scum"






A few other random Suraj and Josh shots on flickr.


Hit up the same spot again a couple days later and Ray Maldonado was also sliding some back noseblunts.


And thats it. I still have a lot of photos to post, so check back soon.

Spots, spots, spots.


Graham showed us this stair ledge spot in the Silverlake area that's pretty awesome. Justin Cefai was shredding it, filming a line with Jesus.


Another angle of Cefai's noseblunt.


And another.


Catching one last noseblunt on the way back to the car. Believe it or not I have even more noseblunt angles over on my flickr.


After the stair ledge we went to a gnarly spot where Graham got a banger for the ZJ video. It doesn't seem like it, but this was taken just a few moments after he stuck it.


Reviewing the footy.


Messing around on some nice flat afterwards.


Josh and Clover Park go way back. All the nostalgia in the air got us thinking about curb skating and how much easier it was to skate them back in the day. Josh can handle front crooks on ledges every try, but this front crook on a wee red curb was a battle. Look out for a fitz clip of it in a future post.


Suraj is from Switzerland.


His up this sketchy ledge quarter pipe another day, and Justin had some fun pivoting. Look out for a couple tricks on this thing in the ZJ video.


Got to skate this awesome ledge for all of 30 seconds before getting the boot. Justin cruising a warm up nosegrind first try.


Moved on to an up ledge across the street. Josh sliding a front tail. Tilt?


Cefai crooksing.


Cefai's got a steezy back tail.


More back tail.



Alright, that's enough for one post. I've got a lot more stuff. So look for another post in the next couple days.

Tagsters Magazine!

Tagsters Magazine out of Holland just featured a gallery of my photos! Check that out here. They also used my photo of a proper Josh Campos nollie flip as their mag "cover." Check that here. You should probably bookmark their site and add them as friends on facebook. Look forward to more stuff from me on Tagsters in the future.

Keeping It Local

No real cohesion to the mix mash of photos and videos in this post, except that they all come from spots fairly close to home.


I think we can all agree that this is the funnest manny pad in the world. No being able to skate it with my friends because of my shoulder was super frustrating, so I had to mess around with the camera to keep myself occupied. Jesus doing a trippy manual.


A photo of the manny.


Same idea different trick. Graham nollie nose manny.


Graham touching down from a nollie into nose manny.


Got my fitz clip on. Graham nollie nose manny shuv.


Nollie nose manny 180.


Another fitz clip angle. Jesus getting a manny front shuv out.


Jesus coming through with a flip out.


Another day we hit up this pretty high and sketchy flatbar near my residence. Justin Cefai crooked grinding the sidewalk side of it.


My photos don't really do the spot justice for how hard it is to skate. Alec Beck cruising a 50-50.


This dude biked by with a parrot on his back. I'm not sure if anyone besides me noticed.


Alec Beck again grinding a smith.


Another smith grind. I like the car and the guy watching in this one.


Justin Cefai doing a feeble pop over. I got a ton of shots of this trick, but I'm not gonna post them all. Check my flickr if you wanna see them for some reason.


I was sitting in a tree.


Graham watching the action.


Cefai got a line.


Hit up the awesome homemade Old Star spot again with Josh and Justin. Here Cefai gets steezy with a front rock.


This was hard to shoot without setting up flashes. Campos doing a blunt fakie on the rugged homemade tranny. Look out for some new blog footy coming from this spot soon.


Justin has a beautiful shin.


Ended a day at the beach and shot some random photos of Jesus doing kickflips on flat.




Look at that steeeeze!

Get hyped for the ZJ video! I just heard the deadline for filming is April 1st. I've been stacking up a ton of photos that I can't show you until after the video premieres.

Edit: Forgot to add Blog Footy #4

While lurking around at the beach the other day I got Alec Beck to do a blog footy.
