SKATE AND CREATE

if you are livin downtown close to a liquor store. or maybe just a regular store. you are gonna need a cruiser at some point. so i had some parts layin around and mexi-matt needed a smooth roller. this shit is easy to do you don't need any money. unless you wanna get fancy. shit you can bum old parts off your friends.
1-get an old board
2-get a jigsaw and cut a sweet ass pattern
3-find some soft wheels
4-paint it up to your pleasure.
5-roll to the beer store to celebrate.
it's just as fun as a good session with the homies. now you can roll anywhere in style. and skating home from the bar just got a little easier.

THE DIRTY 30

so one eye willie turned 30 on sunday and we had a little session at dan's mini ramp. this is what went down. beer drinking and body slams. and yes i know we all suck.that's life. i had originally put music to it. but it didn't have that back yard feel. so i left it as it was filmed to tape. oh yeah "happy b-day" to willie. so now that he is 30 it's o.k. to grab your board when you are doin some blunt variation.

GET INTO THE GOLD AND OUT OF THE OLD.

so friday rolls around and i get home. i turn on the tv and there is my buddy jeff gettin pulled over by the highway patrol. seems that the emerica wild ride was made into a tv short. so i call him up to tell him. i leave a voice mail and the next thing i know is him and jon miner are on a filming trip in the rose town. we end up meetin at the 440 havin some beers and talking about life. but anyways they are workin on the new emerica video called "stay gold". when it comes out it should be sick. i just saw some footy of the ams. and they are killing it. at least now i can rely on the excuse of i am too old to jump down a stack.

B.G.P.'S

today's lesson is on the bgp. if many of you are unfamiliar with this term i am now gonna give you it's meaning. i sometimes find myself around other people that don't skate and some of the terminology they don't understand. B.G.P. is for "BACK GROUND PROPS". in simple terms it means your are in a photo in the background for some reason. sometimes intentional and other times you have no clue. so i gave you 2 examples. class dismissed.

BEER SHOWER

i have been pretty busy lately. so when i need time to relax i have been grabbin a coldie and headin straight to the shower. my ol' lady has been tellin me to get my empty beers out of the shower. but i am always to tired to remember. well anyways i think i was talkin to mexi-matt about it and he had never heard of the beer shower. i was flabbergasted. so to those of you that don't have a hot tub and wanna relax the scumbag style here is the instructions.
1. GET BEER
2. TURN ON SHOWER--GET THAT SHIT REAL HOT
3. GET IN SHOWER
4. OPEN BEER OR BEERS AND MARINADE THE FUKK OUTTA THAT SHIT.
now you can stay in as long as it takes and or until you run outta beers or hot water. this can also be taken up a notch by havin a chick in the shower with you. know what i mean. so there it is in a nut shell. i personally recomend this shit to anyone. but don't copy my styles by puttin a cupholder in the shower.

DON'T DO THE TRICK IF YOU CAN'T DO THE TIME

sometimes i wish skateboarding would die. it's times like this. all though if you go to oregon and washington, this shit wouldn't happen. and when i watched this i tried to find the violation. homie had all his gear on. i just wanted to give a ticket for booty -style on the long board. but this is what happens when you follow the rules at a skatepark. welcome to another round of stupid ass shit.

GET YOUR KICKS ON THE PHILLIPS 66

many of you probably never heard of him. if you skated the 80's someone in your crew had on of his boards. if style won contests he would have won many. there are not to many vert riders that are even in the same style category. if you like niel blender, jason jesse, or even lance mountain. then you should watch this. jeff even invented one of the sickest inverts ever. the phillips 66. you gotta come in fakie and so a layback invert the opposite way. see if you can spot it. and then go try it. also raise a tall for a fallen soldier. he passed away back in 1993. so get a tall of lone star and raise it to one of the styliest riders out there.

HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT.

i don't remember who i was talking to this about, but i couldn't find the full reel but here is a snippet to give you the idea. the 80's kicked ass.

THE AMERICAN DREAM.

the story should go, that i was a poor immigrant from italy only to live my dreams of owning a home in america. but it really goes that i am a trashy italian from ukiah. and now the chalker clan owns a small piece of santa rosa. don't worry i will drink talls for the both of us in celebration. and don't be afriad to come help me move some shit.

R.I.P. LUX INTERIOR

i will never forget the first time i heard of the cramps. i was in 8th grade. i am 35 now so do the math. me and my buddy "scarb" were english and he came into class with this bright ass yellow shirt with the cramps logo and on it was "bad music for bad people". so i asked scarb about it and he explained to me who they were, and i got to listen to them over at "tams" house. they were like elvis on acid. i had no idea that years down the road that i would become a fan. cuz you gotta realize i was at the peak of my hesher-ness in 8th grade. i also remember seeing a subscribe ad in thrasher with lux and rodney mullen backstage at on of their shows. i knew that if rodney was hangin with this guy their music must be good. well i just heard that he passed away yesterday. so raise a tall for Lux. and give up for one of the o.g.'s of psychobilly.

TO PUNK FOR METAL-TO METAL FOR PUNK.

the loudest band on the planet.

I DON'T HAVE PHOTOSHOP.

i don't have photoshop so this is my take on what hendo made.

MY CREW.

you know these fools.

WHEN ROCCO WAS IN TOWN.

i remember living in ukiah in the early nineties when the skater owned companies started taking over. the local board shop closed and i had nowhere to get a board. i had no car to get to santa rosa, which was the closest town to buy a board. so i had to buy shit from catalogs. i tried different brands to find what i liked. after a while it was a toss up between real and think products. then i saw this ad with james kelch and saw his footy in the first thrasher video. i was sold i only road real stuff from then on out. that was until julien stranger started up anti-hero. and i was on board. this was the ad that did it.

HURRY BEFORE IT STARTS RAINING

so it has been raining here for a few days and there was a brief moment of dryness on the ground. so mexi matt called up and we took the box over to the school by my house. sorry these arent hammers but some homies havin a good time.

BEER GUT? SAY WHAT.

if you don't know anything about john lucero, in the 80's he had a crazy bag of tricks. not only could he skate vert, he also had crazy street styles. anyways, it is always nice to see no matter how many years and beers pass. he is still holdin it down. even if it is on a curb.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME

i only leave the house to skate. and now you know why.

REIGN IN BLOOD.

holy shit! vans is gonna make some more slayer shoes. i can already see all the heshers at the skatepark doin tailblocks in them. so the next time you see fogie skating in them you better look out. cuz that is a big man and he only skates fast.

YOUR A DOUCHE

the word douche is so rad. i don't know what it is about it. but my town is full of them. holy fuck. is there some sort of quota that needs to be met. these guys think that they are just being individuals, when all along they are just a carbon copy of everything that meets the douche bag standard. all i see on t.v. are reality shows dedicated to these db's. go watch an episode of bromance. and you will get what i mean.
so then i came across a website called hotchicks with douchebags. fukkin epic. go click the link in the surf up brah. so bottom line i guess is dont be a douche. oh yeah click the photo so youi can read all the stuff on the photo.
