Just got back from NYC doing this overly extensive writeup coverage for the Red Bull Site of Manny Mania 2008. It was some of the best techincal skateboarding I've seen in a damn long time. Congrats to Joey Brezinski for winning the contest! Read up for more details.

Wow, Evan Smith is blowing up isn't he? Well congrats to the little dunny, he deserves it of course. This bs5.0 fsrevert in was supposed to be in his 411VM Am issue part, shame that doesn't ever get to be viewed. I remember this night in TX from our Ezekiel US tour, we were just cranking out tricks and this one was the easy go for him for how tight the ramp is. Thanks to Color Magazine for throwing in little dunny in this issue and of course, using my photo!

Back when Nate was staying at my house, we were skating sporadically. When possible was super cool to go skate with him and shoot some of the idea's he had. Nate is a free thinker with his skating and doesn't seem to let the typical setback's effect him. Tree wallie back180.

This was a shot that I kinda lucked out on. Kenny happened to be skating with Lim, Pensyl, Vern and I forgot.. J.Wak probably.. Anyways, Kenny was kinda just twiddling around with this backsmith. Seemed easy for him, and the photo came out amazing considering its next to a huge semi.. Man against Machine? Isn't it crazy how even in the photo, the style just oozes out. Thanks to Monster Mag from Germany for running my photo.

JOEY PEPPERS NEW AD! Soo hyped on this photo! Out in NY, things can get confusing, out at night, too hot during the day, no car to solidify crews, we're just skating through the streets. On one day, Pepps said he wanted to do this trick and had already landed it, so obviously I was keen on the idea. Upon arriving he was already cranker out and needless to say, the ad above was incredible. Thank you Joey Pepper for your time and effort, see you in NY!

While shooting for Magnus Hanson's SBC interview, we were able to shoot this amazing sequence. This was actually the second one he did because after he did the first one, he tried again to booshie it out, but he ended up just landing a faster, cleaner one.

For any of you who has been to this spot, you know how hard it is to backsmith through this ledge, much less KICKFLIP BACKSMITH through it. Thanks to Momentum for using this sequence, and thanks to Julio who had to break into my house and upload it from my computer while I was on tour.

I had the great pleasure of shooting a couple photos of Magnus Hanson for his new SBC interview. He is an amazing person to work with and of course a good friend. Thanks SBC for using my photos for this, cause having any photos in the same interview as Scott Pommier I am definitely hyped. (ok, i admit, I am a fan...I guess I like scott's photos...)

LEE YANKOU!! I love this kid, he's super awesome, or as Magnus calls him "Yank the Tank" hahha.. We shot this a couple months ago, actually from this day. He had just gotten on Osiris a while back and it worked out well! Thanks soo much Osiris Canada for hooking this up.

I shot some photos and did some video at Am Getting Paid, this weekend. Of course some afterparty photos too! Good to be up in Canada again.

Pretty rad, I shot these photos of Stu Graham a while back with him and his two little wee ones. Pretty epic photo, especially since he's holding his two little children and such.

Well, what was sick is they put up a feature on Stu and posted him up on the main EXPN.COM page plus an nice interview.
Check it out folks!

So the problem is, when promo-time come around, I send the riders the stuff I like. And of course I wear it too.. So one night in NY, I show up at some shit bar, and see Derek twinning me out! We spent the entire night standing next to each other, like we planned on dressing up like that. But throughout the night I kept giggling to myself, "Imagine if we met two girls wearing the same top", Now wouldn't that be convenient, ha!?

This is really nothing special, but a while back while in NY, I was just shooting the crew skating/chilling and happened to shoot this one of Gabe. Listen liked it, I forgot about it, and at tradeshow or two ago, I saw it at the booth.. It looks like it found its way into the catalog. Hyped.

Since Magnus stays with me while in LA, we get the opportunity to shred when we are both available. This hurricane is one of the first photos we shot while in LA at a now defunk spot. Hurricane up the ledge and into tranny (original shown below)
Nice that Momentum used it for a catalog/website pic.

So after missing my own photo show, Steve R was kind enough to send out a bunch of photos from that night! Thanks Steve.
