VAN LIFE-UKIAH TOWN

-----so last sunday a crew decided to go skate the ukiah park. so we all climbed in the van and headed out. lohne-star shot the pic above. pretty good times i must say. if you are someone you know has a van i suggest you fill it full of your buddies and hit the road. trust me, you will not regret it. oh yeah jakkerz shot some cool pics too. you can see them over at the oulk site.

-----ukiah park.


-----heated discussion about which hemmoroid cream is the best.


-----zappy said he hadn't skated in months. i think he lied.


-----lohne star board slide to fakie into the bank. still shredding that ron allen h-street.


-----billy gabe on the jason jessee re issue


-----mexi matt, keep on truckin'


-----carli is cruxin'


-----came across this harsh bank.


-----austin funk, aka spunk slammed a crap load on this. his feet were always on the board. but the impact was way too much.


-----hendo shot this. stu boneless in the sandpaper.


-----told you that spot was rough


-----just a couple of clips. i was too busy skateboarding.

FORTY OUNCE FRIDAY'S

-----well it seems that i am back to working my behind off. all day i see these spots that need to get skated. mostly big red curbs. you know those ones that need a good slappy. as you can see my buddy forrest aka hector rolled thru witha 40 and a new slappy device. i suggest you go out and pick one up. sure you can still do flip tricks on them. but we all know nothing feels as good as the slappy. now go take it to whole new level.

H & H. JOHN PONTS AND CREDITS

-----john ponts. this dude is also known as pontsarelli or depontez around these parts. his last trick is fucking hairy. i still have seen no one step to this gap. after he bailed the rosa scene for sown south. he got hooked up by dogtown. then black label but got a better gig over at creature. prior to that, dude got the cover of thrasher. so if you are looking for him now, he is probably flying over alaska still being a scumbag. miss you buddy.



-----the credits. this shit is funny. just watch and see. also read what people put in there credits. you will get a chuckle outta that for sure.....lastly there was a bonus part to this. but the d.v. tape i have doesn't have it on it. when powner puts it up in the future, i will chuck it up. until then thanks for watching a piece of santa rosa skateboard history. i hope to chuck up some more for you guys. i think i gotta work late tomorrow. so i will see you on 40 oz fri........chalker.

H & H. AMIGO'S PART TWO, RAMIREZ, LOHNE

-----amigos part two. we got some soon to be pro's, a skater of the year, sick filmers for video of the year, rad dads and rock stars in this next one. see if you can pick em' out. santa rosa was the place to be at this point in skateboarding.


-----danny ramirez. i have been skateboarding with this dude for a long time. dude is mega good at the flipity board thingy. his last trick is so fucking sick. watch it till the end! i havent seen this dude in a minute. danny if you read this, hit me up to shred with old guys!


-----jon lohne. aka lohne star. this dude is always on the chronnies too. what is truly crazy is jon went from riding for the shop to owning it. talk about full circle. coming all the way down here from the portland area. this dude has been killing it way back then and up until this day. dirty 30's trip. fool went bananas with a double set kickflip.

H & H. MIKE.BRIAN AND RYAN.

-----mike carli. i have had the pleasure of watching this dude go from little grom to full on ripper. not only does he shred on the board but on the drums as well. to many stories to tell......maybe one day.


-----brian henderson. this part is one of my favorites of all time. so tech. for some reason the line at 3rd and army will always be embedded in my brain. so proper. i think jeff filmed it. i just like watching the lines in the concrete go by. i am pretty sure i have lost every game of skate we have played together.


-----ryan fulton. this dude kills it. smooth style, good pop and all around chill dude. i get stoked when he pops up in the rosa town. skateboarding and beers are always the best with this guy.

MULTI-SHOT

-----kinda stoked on this feature on my point and shoot. not as fancy as shooting a real sequence. kevin the gypsy on the kick flipper to nose manny. just click the pic.

H & H. DUPRET, CANALES, HURLEY AND DEMO'S

-----jared dupret and mike canales. you all know jared aka j-rad. he is up on the chronicles all the time. his part is nice and flowy. also, mr mike canales. this kid has a really unique ollie. check that snap. just like a rabbit. he is a current resident of utah and a kick ass barber. he is down for life.






-----kurt hurley. the old shop owner. last time i saw him he was doin some stuff with dreggs skateboards.


-----this is the various demos part. i am pretty hyped to see the old ukiah stuff in here. lots of rad faces i aint seen in a minute. i didn't get to go to the one in the school yard or in the mountains, but they loked like a lotta fun.

FORTY OUNCE FRIDAY'S

-----its been a long week and forty ounce friday is upon us. how to make it better you ask? by taking a beer shower, of course. our boy johnny phone numbers, shows us the proper way.

H & H. ROADTRIPPIN'

-----after a few, we are back to puttin up more of the horseshoes and handgrenades vid. this one is the road trip section. many locations from las vegas to arizona and reno. i am pretty sure sam king was the m.v.p. on this one. lets see. he broke his face. got super wasted. shreded some crazy crap. i also wanna say this dude got with some chick in an alleyway while we were in vegas. anyways its 40 oz fri too. so crack it and watch some good friends do some good skateboarding.

-----get in the van.

ZEE OL' ROCK AND ROLL

-----i knew if i put up this pic of one eye willie, you would think it was a bail. so i filmed it too. old guy doin a old trick. no really click the pic. that back foot is crazy!

********on a side note horseshoes and handgrenades willl resume on fri or sat. cuz i know some people prefer vimeo to you tube. i want it to go up at the same time. we blew out all the vimeo mega bytes on powners channel for the week. so you gotta wait just a little bit longer. sorry. maybe it will get done on friday if i don't drink too many 40's.

-----check the back foot.

H & H. ORION, JOSH AND ERIK.

-----after some technical difficulties. powner gave me the mini dv tape. the only drawback is some of the quality is lost, but those are the breaks. also it seems that there is a upload limit to vimeo. we cant put up anymore videos to powners channel till next sat. so i may be switching to my channel for the week then back to powners. until its all loaded. but eventually have it all on powners channel after it is all said and done.the next three parts that are up are orion mussleman, josh powner, and erik sweet. grab a tall can and meet me back here. cuz the year 2000 can be put on pause.

-----orion mussleman aka oru'. you have seen this dude many times on the chronnies. still killing it as one of the founding members of the dirty 30's crew. i still think this should have been the opener but what do i know. apples and oranges right? anyways oru' will break out the fresh freestyle rhymes in the back of the van on long trips and probably drive you to a rap battle. but that is why we love this guy. oru' flowin thru.

-----orion mussleman.


-----josh powner aka uncle josh. this guy was one of the first dudes i met when i moved to rosa. not too ashamed to admit he as well pushed mongo. i seen this dude do a nollie heelflip outta one of those bowls. i dont need to tell you were powner is now. just go pick up a board at brotherhood boardshop ang ask him "when you gunna land that sal flip outta maiden" he will now what you are talkin about. powner could manual the shit outta the park. so sit back and watch the madness.

-----josh powner.


-----erik sweet is one in a million. this guy did the longest grinds and slides. a fun dude to kick it with. skating with this guy was like a bigfoot sighting. you knew if you saw him skate it was gunna be cool. now you can find him on the golf links and if you see him skate, its just like a stated before.

----erik sweet.

FORTY OUNCE FRIDAY'S

i just got off work and man o man is it nice outside. i mean why drink a forty inside when the weather is so good outside. i know some of you may not have the same weather as us here in santa rosa. so, if it is too cold, grab a forty and pretend. my buddy ron getting sunbaked. oh yeah, on a side note. we have had a bit of trouble witht he horseshoe and handgrenades uploads. so started tomorrow the video posts shall resume. thanks everyone and happy 40 oz fri!

H & H ADAM BULGER AND THE HOMIES.

-----the next part up is.... the one, the only. adam bulger aka the bulge. one of the younger guys on the squad. he was he the master of the duck fart and the only guy to beat me and big poppa, back to back at arm wrestling in taco bell. (did i mention he was still in high school.) i miss kickin it with this guy.i am sure the others do too. nowadays you can find him behind the lens shooting photos of famous people down south. hopefully one day he will bless us with more than a 24 hour visit.

-----adam bulger


-----99 percent of skate vids has a homie part. without your buddies skateboarding would not be as fun. right? you should be able to recognize a bunch of these guys from previous chronnie posts. big poppa is up in here gettin all tech. killa hoe, the pizza chief and zappy just to name a few. also some of the seattle heads pop up in here as well.

-----the homies part one

H & H. ISAAC'S PART

-----well, lets start this. i really don't know how i got the opener. i still think musselman or fulton should of had it. i remember feeling really awkward when this was on the screen. i mean the first part sets the tone for the rest of the video. i still remember saying to brian " i hope i don't have the first part." he just kinda looked away. still to this day i don't even know how i got on the team in the first place. i just skated with these guys all the time. then bam i am making a video part. as i look back 12 years into the past, i just think of all the good time we had. so as powner keeps uploading them. i will chuck them up here for everyone to see. feel free to heckle the ex-mongo pusher from ukiah.

-----you can take the boy outta ukiah, but you cant take ukiah outta the boy.

HORSESHOES AND HANDGRENADES

-----everyone keeps askin when this video is gunna be put up on the web. i mean shit, it came out in the year 2000. i guess after 12 years, it is time. as each part goes up i will add some commentary. skateboarding has changed alot since then as well. even though it has, we are still friends and try to skate as much as we can. you may recognize many of these dudes from the chronnies. only a little older. this was also around the time when the santa rosa skatepark was poppin' off. skateboarders from all over the world came to hit this place up. it had its own scene. you never knew what team or pro was gunna roll thru. i really don't know what to add here. this video was filmed and edited by powner, the hendo brothers. i also wanna thank powner for getting this up since my computer wasn't up to the task. enjoy!

-----intro.

FORTY OUNCE FRIDAY'S

-----its official. the rain is finally here. it seems, that forty ounce fridays had a good run this winter with lots of sun. so what else to do? but, to go indoors. oh well i guess we need rain, in order to survive? right. too bad it doesn't rain beer. where the hell am i going with this? i don't know. the rain oh yeah. our buddy stu sent me this. it seems that things are lookin up for 40 ounce fridays this winter. hopefully i will get to shred that that thing soon. crack that cap everyone and enjoy!

****p.s. i fixed the settings on the pics. so you can click directly on them now, so they enlarge without that wierd shadow box.

-----quick. get outta the rain.

THRASH(IN') METAL

-----my buddy drew sent me this link. its about a minute and a half long. so rad. don't get me wrong i love all styles of skateboarding. but for some reason i still associate skateboarding with being a hesher.

-----wish my high school had a skatepark out back

THE 90 PLUS ONE

-----one of my buddies put a vhs to dvd from 1991. i wanted to use this decoding program and i figured i would try it out on this. so this is in my hometown of ukiah. it was on the cusp when street skating took over. right before the whole big pants little wheels days. i know alot of people that wont admit that they pushed mongo. i personally have no problem. i got my first board in 1986 i think. so that is how i learned. go ahead and laugh, i know i did.... needless to say i can see a little bit of what would become my skate style in this. cuz in a few years, all my friends start bands or move to santa cruz, and i decide to make the move to santa rosa. so after that most of you know the rest of the story.......or just wait till i get a hi-8 player and find out.

----straight outta u.k. town

TONIGHT WE RIDE!

-----what is it about skateboarders and motorcycles? it seems like it is just another extension of freedom for us. i mean if you look at it like this. we like to hunt for spots to ride on our boards. and if you are on a bike you are looking for the that sweet ass cruz just to open up your bike on. know what i mean? i mean you go to a skate shop get the products that you would think that would make the sickest board to ride. the same goes for building a motorcycle. just take a look at the loach. he shreds on a skateboard. but he also has a passion for motorcycles. i once heard some one say, "skateboarding is more than just skateboarding." makes sense right. anyways check a couple of pics i shot with my point and shoot that is on it's last leg. oh shit, i wanna give a shout out to powner cuz the pic above of the loach he took. later skater.

-----projects


-----grab some parts and put on some jams.


-----get busy


-----getting closer.


-----daily driver.


-----what are you awaiting for?

FORTY OUNCE FRIDAY THE 13TH

-----not only is it forty ounce friday. it is forty ounce friday the 13th. i couldn't think of a more proper dude to hail it than, mr. jason voorhees. all though i must say i am a fan of slasher films. none of them shall beat my favorite slasher. happy forty ounce friday everyone!
