Where?

UCLA and VA.

Went skating the other day and got some stuff. Here is that stuff.


Tyler Kindred boardslides in front of John Wooden's pyramid of success. We got kicked out of this spot right away, so Tyler only got to do a couple warm up boardslides.


Tyler and Colin spotted me lurking in the bushes.


So there is this really perfect hubba at UCLA, and Colin Cook front boarded it with ease.


So my camera isn't really fast enough (4.5 fps) to shoot legit sequences, but I tried anyway. Here Austin Squire throws down a full cab. He also stuck a perfect switch big spin, but I totally missed it.


Sean Bloom came through with a nice backside flip. Apparently that was the first time he had done one down anything. Hyped.


Tried to get all experimental with this sequence. Tyler had this nollie back heel and landed on it a bunch of times, but never did roll away.


Here are a couple stills of the nollie back heel.


Check the one foot catch steeze.


Earlier this day people found this really gnarly spot, so we went back there after UCLA and Austin handled it. Ollie from the top of the stairs into the bank.

Here and There.

So in contrast with the last post, this one doesn't have any videos.


We went to this sketchy rail at Walgreen's again and Josh Campos was killing it. He got a lot further out on the rail with this crooks than anyone else I've seen. He also filmed somewhat of a banger on it that day, so look out for that in his next video part.


Me and Whitey were shutting down the spot with our back to back kickflips into the driveway. Here Whitey flicks a steezy one.


Jesus lurking in the convex mirror. He's been putting more parts from Scummish Activity online lately. Be sure to check it out here: GrajedaFilms


After that session we hit up this double set at a church in Mar Vista. Campos stuck this switch frontside flip twice in like five tries or something.


Another day we stopped by the VA in West LA and Campos was feeling poor. Shoot this pretty soon after he ate shit warming up on the famous handrail.


After that Tyler Kindred starting throwing himself over this bump over flattop. It's really fucking hard to skate because you have to sprint across some grass then throw your board down to get enough speed.


After the ollie Tyler kickflipped the thing which is actually really gnarly considering the run up.


Another shot of the kickflip.


Just a few hours ago Austin took me to this sketchy downhill street gap he found in Venice. He was ollieing it no problem.


Check out how narrow the run up is with that pole in the way.


The landing is also pretty sketch with the wall on the left and the fact that it runs downhill and straight into Main Street.

Lotz of Fitz Clipz.

Haven't made a post in a while cause I've been so busy with classes, but I just finished finals, so hopefully I'll be back on it.


Josh Campos does his thing at Culver Park while I try to distract you by putting fences in the way. That's a switch flip nose manny if you can't tell.


We went to this pretty fun ledges behind an Albertson's in Calabasas. Josh was killing it as you can imagine. I told him to do a trick on each ledge and he came through with this first try.


Spying on Josh's tailslide from inside a bush.


Went to the beach. Alec and Josh having some fun.


Alec Beck is good, real good. Popping out of front blunts no problem and shit.


Went skating with the Campos brothers. This spot out in Rosemead is pretty worn down, but still fun.


Josh just cruising.


The Campos brothers killing it again, before I come through with a beautifully executed nollie back 5-0 through the whole damn ledge.


Josh shows you how to properly execute a nollie grind.


Later that day we hit up this abandoned gas station manny pad along PCH. Josh came through with this in just a couple tries.


This was fun. Epic doubles action, Josh and me.


Switch and regular.


And finally, I actually have a couple photos. As you know, Alec kills ramps, and this one at a church in Venice is no exception.


Check the tweak. He almost flew out of the frame on this one. Pretty epic.
