Vegas Vacation
by asmith on Oct.15, 2008, under Trips, Uncategorized
I just got back from a long weekend in Las Vegas. Fortunately/Unfortunately this blog post doesn’t have the kinds of photos you would suspect it to have. You know, photos like throwing dice, tons of drinks, strippers, winning money, losing money, strippers, beers, blunts, strippers. But seeing as your reading this on a skateboard website I’ll show you the photos of us skating. Surprisingly there’s a lot of good stuff to skate out in the city of sin.
The Windy City Excursion
by asmith on Aug.20, 2008, under Trips, Uncategorized
A few months ago, some of my friends from Kansas City and Atlanta took a trip up to Chicago. Non of us drove so our only means of getting around were public transportation and our skateboards. It was definitely a different experience because both Kansas City’ns and Atlanta’ns drive everywhere. It was a hell of a lot of fun pushing through the city but lugging heavy camera gear wasn’t much of a blast. We didn’t get much “photo worthy” stuff done but still had a good time. Most of out nights we spent double fisting Old Styles and ranging different apartments. Definitely tore it up in that aspect. An explanation to almost anything was “Hey, it’s got to be the Old Style”. Check out the photos from our weekend excursion.

Weekend with Sean Conover and Jlo

I spent this past weekend with Sean Conover and my buddy Jlo who flew in from Kansas City. We spent out weekend mostly skating around San Diego. Here’s photos and an epic video from our stay in SD.
We started our weekend by meeting up with Sean at his house.
Which was filled with chick wanting Sean.
Here’s the board Sean got from his buddies at Foundation while he was in the hospital for a month.
This is what happens when you bail 180 a gnarly gap when someone is kicking you out and you don’t have enough speed.
This is what it looked like. Jlo reenacted Sean’s pain.
Jlo gives a thumbs down to this spot.
We went to this rough ditch in the middle of the day in the hot sun with no water.
Jlo cut his finger on some glass and had to do his trick with this “bandage”.
We check out this spot but were beat out by the company picnic.
Sean need to wash his pants for sure!
Sweaty ass dude!
Jlo’s feeling towards this coffee joint.
Kickin it on the beach.
We saw this dude who was feeding the fire on the board lighter fluid in his hand. He lives dangerously for sure!
Sketchy!
We started our day off by getting coffee. Jlo gave his usual name “muska” to the coffee makers and they came out with this….”Oscar”. He was siked. Probably the best way to start off a day!
We went back to this spot but found out there is security waiting at the spot only for skateboarders. Sucked!
These dudes were bummed!
Saw this weird art thing at the city college. Don’t understand!
After the day of skating we had to drop off Sean at his place of work.
Subway!!
Not only is he good at skating but he can make a killer sub!
Fake ass pirates!
Me bummed on my white T after laying on the ground for about 20 minutes trying to get that angle.
We meet this dude Cody Sosebee while skating through the city. He just moved out here from Atlanta. He came out and got some stuff.
Cody skated the stair that most normally don’t. Nollie bigspin.
Cody showed us these fun ledges right by the water. He through down with this kickflip backlip 270 shuv. Killin it.
Jlo getting that warm up Done sequence.
This is how Jlo felt after his whole trip. Like a pile of shit! On the strugs for sure!
