James Craig: Tailslide
1. The OG homie.
2. One of my favorite people to shoot.
3. Style for days.
Not much else to say… Actually there is..I can’t believe this is my first pic of James up here, sorry James! Most stuff I think is just way sick and end up using it for something else, but I finally let go of my chokehold on his pics and posted this gem from a while back. Just a warm-up tailslide, but James makes it look too damn good. RSCJSC4EVER
Unconventional
Ben Paulsrud: Backside Tailslide Shuv-it
Ben has more spots than anyone I know, and they’re usually pretty random; making them the best. This upledge was rather unconventional and I think very few people could/would actually skate it. Steep, short, and overall pretty shitty. Ben handled it like a champ (as did James, but I’m saving his photos for something else…wink). I decided to shoot a still of it which was my attempt of keeping up with Ben’s abstract approach to skating, lame I know, anyway the more I look at this photo the more I’m psyched on it. Ben you’re definitely one of my all time favorite people to shoot, let’s skate soon. RSC4L

This was a good time night sesh, Elijah was killing it and he gave me a lot of really good shots. I liked this one the best because of the shadow going across him, and check the way he’s flippin the board, no illusion flips here. Stomped within 10 minutes. Bangin!

It’s somewhat last minute but for those of you that don’t know yet, the guys at Upful are putting on a fundraiser tonight for the earthquake victims over in Haiti.

Night sesh
Ian Drummond: 360 Flip
A few nights ago myself, Aaron Brown, Ian Drummond, Sammy Montano, Muckles, Abdeezy F. Baby, and Skindoja went on a night mission. A couple tricks went down, not to mention an 18 pack and a few six packs…enjoy… (More …)
International Local Flare
Sammy Montano: 50-50
Apparently everyone from other countries is required to kill it on a skateboard.* Sammy’s another local kid that destroys everything in front of him, he’s got a mean bag of tricks and looks good on a skateboard. I’m stacking up mad photos of him and am gonna put something together up here soon, until then here’s just a little teaser. He started trying to 50-50 this when nobody was really paying attention, and i had to rush to set up to get the photo. Thanks for making me stress and keeping this old man on his toes Sammy.
*Editor’s note: So apparently Sammy’s not from another country, he’s from here but just visited and stayed abroad for a bit..I jumped to conclusions..so what he still rips!
Burgs and Dogs
On Saturday Liberty had themselves a little barbecue at the Brea Skatepark. Although I showed up a little late, and basically was only able to be there for an hour and a half or so, it was a damn good time. Thanks to all the homies at Liberty for providing the food and the fun, here’s a couple pics that I scrambled to get before breaking out. Enjoy… (More …)
Cruisin’
Austyn Gillette: Backside Tailslide
A curb cut, a hill, a bench, a bank, flat ground, a rusty old flat rail, the stairs leading to your local high school, the hand rail at the senior citizens’ center, a fire hydrant, a dirty old ditch. (More …)
