Bogan city.... population: me.

Sorry for the lack of updates, been in southeast Asia for the past month or so. No stuntwood action round those parts. Just cool mud flaps everywhere..

Now i'm living in Perth, Australia.


Stumbled across this spot whilst walking around town here at the beach.

Easily the best ledge spot i've ever skated. Perfect ground, it's partly covered and it's not a bust.

I was straight up killing it of course..

but for real, five-o's for days. ledges like butter

Even learned a new trick, BS 180 nose grind

Been skating with some local rippers, so the motivation is up for shred sled action.

Found a store that my buddy Dmitri would love.

wandered around an abandoned powerhouse on the south part of town.







Riding bikes home along the Indian Ocean. Life is good.

The state of skateboarding (en Scotland et France)

Stayed in Edinburgh Scotland and Aberdeen for almost two weeks.

They have a proper shop called focus. Strictly skateboarding. They come correct with a nice shop and good gear.

They moved the shop to what used to be the oldest fish monger store in edinburgh.
In keeping with the roots of the old shop they kept the nautical theme going. Looks nice..



American shred sledder in Scotland.

Rock fakie in Aberdeen whilst warming up. Almost got the pivot to fakie but got booted out before it went down. This spot is @ a heroin rehap clinic. Pretty sketch outside. The tranny is tight. Peeped some local footy of dudes ripping this spot. Smoke em if you got em..


new favorite show in the UK. It's up there with curb your enthusiasm. You tube that shit..


Now I am in southern France. Mes amis cooked me dinner. Paella epicness.

I gobbled it down with the quickness.

Staying now near the beach for a bit. Skated with a rad fellow by the name of Berto in Narbonne. But sadly I left the camera at home that day. Berto holds it down in the small but radical town of Narbonne.. I'll hit you up on my way back up to Marseille Berto!

The state of french fashion. 2009.


Walking home last night from place de republique with my lady i stumbled upon a free outdoor 1920s silent film being narrated by some guy on the french accordian.


some actual skate flicks coming soon. there are some rippers here in south france.

Fast women and slow horses..

Digging thru the archives I found some old scanned pics from the late 90's out in L.A.

My buddy Berdet would go out there to skate and just come back to Florida with random pictures of him and some pros.
Here he's @ lockwood with Mike York, Aaron Meza and the Frostman. I think he said they were filming a line York did in the chocolate tour video that day.


Berdet would just randomly show up at people's cribs. Like when I asked him about his photo with him and Keenan Milton he said that he just heard about where he lived and showed up to say "what's up". Random. Keenan was stoked about it obviously... I mean, check that expression on his mug.

We lost one of the great ones when Keenan left the party. damn. RIP

Hobo board meeting

Been riding my bike after work to skate the ramp up @ find-n-grind. Sheet metal is so smooth..

Dudes were shredding..


My ramp buddy..

I rented this horrible 70's biker film called "J.C." the other day only because it had Slim Pickens in it as the local bad ass sheriff.


Moi? Mais non!

Be here to love me




Townes van Zandt...

Well, won't you lend your lungs to me?
Mine are collapsing
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe
Up the time that's passing.
Breath I'll take and breath I'll give
Pray the day ain't poison
Stand among the ones that live
In lonely indecision

Lyrics from the song "lungs"

*69

Photobucket

So here's one for y'all skateboard video soundtrack nerds....
Can you think of every Lou Reed song that's been in a skate video?
(hint: see posting below titled as "crosseyed and painless" for a freebie)

Name em all and win a prize direct from Austin Texas. From me to vous...

*Bo-Nuss*
Try and list all the Bowie songs used in skate videos thus far...
Gotta dig deep for this one.

Nothing but steers and queers...

So Joe Locke and co. are coming out to Texas today...


Time to ride the stuntwood, drink some suds and hit up a few swimming holes.

The forecast predicts nothing but good times and noodle salad for the next few days

and not a speck of cereal...
