Archival Pics

Mario Rubalcaba (Alva), Matt Hensley (H-Street, Plan B), Sal Barbier (H-Street), and last but not least Ned Hadden (Assault). I was lucky enough to see some really good demos and meet some super nice pro skaters back in the day. And I am lucky to still be rolling today.

These pics were snapped at various demos at the Huntington Civic Center in West Virginia with the exception of Sal Barbier kindly giving the thumbs up from atop the vert ramp at SunSports indoor skate park in Columbus, Ohio. There are two kids with wicked mullets in the first pic. I think this was around 1989.

Shelter In Place At Sam's This Weekend

No it isn't due to the mysterious blue clouds and odorous lingerings around the Institute, WV area. The Chemical Valley gets a taste of some good picking and playing this weekend as Shelter In Place takes the stage at Sam's in downtown Charleston. Here's a teaser of band member Mike Pushkin invoking the spirit of Bob Marley while sheltering in place in our living room yesterday. Thanks Mike.

Warmth

Just days after shooting Grom snowboarding I managed to squeeze in a skate session during some unseasonably warm weather. ("Unseasonably" is a "word" I borrowed from the weather folks on the TV). The panels of today's boneless sequence contain subtle differences (probably because I ripped 3 pics from 4 different sequences). Spot the differences and win two dogs! Kidding. Dogs not intended for giveaway. Void where prohibited. By Law.

Floatin' On The Freshies...

Sequence of Grom's 3rd run thru the side yard on a day off from school. Urban snowboarding at its finest.

And Don't Forget These Two

Ollie and Indy got some new jackets. They don't really give a crap about them. Tearing up some paper however provided them with some good times.

New Stuff

Grom and I received some new skate supplies for Christmas. Can't wait to ride these new green wheels on these new Indys. Stoked. Thanks Emily!

Holidaze

Scenesters, Hipsters, Gangsters, Punkers, and Tree Huggers... Happy Holidaze. ONE LOVE.
