Our Sales Rep, Dagwood invited us out-He let us skate all night, hooked up pizza and beverages, super insanely fun night-
From the whole ZJ Crew--Dagwood.. Thanks for having us out!

Some sequences of the new pole jam...

Ryan B. and Victor handled business.

Another new addition to the park is the banked wallie grinder...

Baby Pitbull and Broah went for it.

Back at the beach...

Been pretty busy since we got back from Arizona...working full time now at the "Z"-
Anyways, here are some shots that I was able to get on my days off...

Let's start off last Saturday in Hermosa Beach...Spyder Surfshop was celebrating their 25th year in business and invited the entire industry out to celebrate. Red Bull set up the Manny Mania obstacles...I would have more photos but I was busy shredding it.


Steve Hernandez- Back 360

Here are some photos from our local ledges... Jason, Joey B.,Gavin from Boston and J. Cefai were there


Joey B.- Half Cab Crooks Back 180 out


Gavin- Nollie Flip Crook

Now we get to today...A mission to Frost in the valley started off the day...


DTM- Ollie the rail into the bank


Broah- Hippy Jump

My memory card started acting funny so I stopped shooting for the day- but this was one of the last photos of the day in this gnarly ditch thing...


AJ- Christ Air

ThunderZona- Day 4

The park that we visited today is called Thunderbird. This is where they held the Phoenix Am this year.
Everyone was a little slow moving at first from being so sore and tired, but the session turned out being super fun.



There were definitely a some kids getting in our way, but we also kind of took over one bowl section of the park for photo and filming session... oh yeah...some people still rollerblade in Arizona too..


Here's our friend Alec again...



Ian was filming...




After the Thurderlord park we decided to get some grub and try to find this ditch we heard about...Found it!



Tomorrow we travel back to LA.. I will probably take some photos on the drive home..Thanks for tuning in!

In the ZONE- Arizona- DAY 3

So today was interesting....."very interesting" I think was the Tall Zack quote.
We started the day off proper with a visit to the Pecos Skate Park- Evan decided that he would 50-50 every rail there, but not just once. He did each about 25 times in a row... then something or someone must have told him it was time for a feeble...



On the way back from Pecos we stopped at our favorite local spot..."The Holy Pyramid"


Ian, Evan, and I decided to trip out on the pyramid and all got clips.--This was before the VX came out...



Had a little BBQ back at the pad- no photos to show because, well...we were all just little out of our minds.

Decided that we would go back out for more slash dogging... Back to the Tempe park...

I wasn't planning on taking out my camera...but then Alec started trying this...


Let the step-up annihilation begin....

Dogtown To Cowtown- DAY 2

What a day- Just got done eating dinner...my legs feel like noodles and I still have a layer of dirt on my skin from the parks we skated today. Let's just start off the day at 8:30am- I woke up, got crispy...and layed out by he pool for about an hour.
Eventually everyone woke up and decided they would lounge as well...


Little "E" was keeping it mellow






Breakfast of Champions


Picked this off a tree in our front yard...it tastes like a grapefruit, but was more like an orange

The Chandler Skate Park was the first stop of the day...

Alec- Steezy tuck-knee


Pitbull and A. Beck doubles on the volcano


First sequence of the trip...


Little "E"- Gap to Smith

After the Chandler Park we went to Cowtown Skate Shop in Tempe near ASU. We asked about some street spots but didn't get much help...so we just skated around for a bit...got kicked out...checked out a Hippy shop with tons of Tie-dye and incense.

The next park on the map was the Tempe Skate Park, which so far, is the group favorite...
Rob Welsh was there trying to switch front bigspin this euro gap to manual...Ian had to take him out though...


Ian Edwards- Tre flip Manual

It started getting dark, but Alec was starting to get gnar on the clamshell...
