The wall ride is!

In my 80's glory days I loved to rock the wall ride. Look at those pads! lol! Why am I wearing knee pads in this pic? I think we had just finished skating vert at Mr. J's ramp nearby. Or maybe I just wanted to look even MORE dorkish. Who knows. I have been threatening to ride walls again but wall rides leave dirty marks. These days I can't bring myself to deface someone's property even if it will wash away. Wanted: Brick wall that will not show dirt. What is your favorite 80's trick? When are you going to relearn it? ;) I love the shadow in this pic. Photographer: ??? One of my friends took this shot maybe Kolby W, Jeremy P. Bob J or Gary D.?

What? The Hail!

Hail the sound is a three piece (for the moment) band from Western Colorado. Rocking in the style of "polka-country-gangsta rap". Hail the sound is every musical genre you despise. Boowhahahahaha! My wife thinks the lead singer is hot so she snapped this picture. HAIL THE SOUND!

Fall pictures at Grandma's

The feel of perfect. The place where tempeture and humidity join together with ambiance to make weather that is unimaginably nice. Ah yes another woderful weekend has come and gone. Work, play and pictures! I wanted to do a photo shoot at Grandma's house but due to the busy schedule I forgot all about it. In fact, I was deep into another project when P reminded me about the pictures. I really wanted to get some shots. The fall surroundings will likely disappear by next week. With that in mind, we drove all the way back across town to get the Camera gear. By the time we returned to G-ma's and got set up It was getting late in the afternoon. The perfect weather was changing quickly. Foreboding clouds approached from the west. My light blew over, my kids wouldn't cooperate and my wife was tired. Challenges were plentiful but we persevered and got a few cool pics. Some of the pictures are not exactly what I had in mind but ya know... I like 'em anyway!

Thanks to P for taking the shots of me and my crew.

Up for grabs?

Calling all skaters! Your opinion counts! "NAME THAT GRAB!"
Lets make this a formal introduction to the whole thumb abusing gang and their positions on board. ( Do you like my handy chart?) Slap me with skateboard grabbing terminology, add to my list of bad puns and dimwitted humor or share a related story. Note: Grand Mothers read my blog, so keep it PG13.

GOOFY UPDATE!
Seems I left out half of the skate race by only posting a "Regular" stance chart. Shame on me! BAD KVON! Heres a chart for all the goof balls out there! ;)

Fall

Fall is here and almost gone. I lament few too many photo opportunities. The leaves started to turn, we had a big freeze, the leaves all fell. I am still skating as much as possible, playing shows with Hail The Sound and loving life. I got a new lens and did a few timed shots, cleaning and winterizing the ramp, enjoying the perfect weather.

kairos shoot

I shot some pics for a cool kids clothing store last Thursday. Kairos ROCKS! I dragged my kidos down there to play dress up. As you can see they had a blast. I want a to shout a big thanks out to Carla B. Great job with the store. Thanks for the awesome hats. The boys love them! Here are a few fun, random shots.

HAWK

I shot these pics of my old hawk a few weeks ago, (before the camera was bomb dropped) I want to keep my posts up to date so here are a few pics of my only (for the moment) vintage deck!
