Legends skate

This weekend was one for the books! We hung out with OG skaters Brad Bowman, Doug 'Pineapple' Saladino, Olson, and Wally Inouye at the North Houston/Spring skatepark. I got to hear so many stories about the origins of skateboarding that will most likely be lost in time. These guys made the 'sport' into what it is and the energy was stellar! Thank you to everyone that made this event happen.

Frontside grinds are difficult.

I had such a great skate today! 4 hours solo skate + pizza later and I was fried. 

Mami got new bearings! My old ones came out gooey and shredded, a condition for which I had no justification. Anyway, baby rips now!

Vicarious skate sesh

I've been painting some skaters from the latest mags because we've all been locked indoors too much this winter. Gouache on watercolor paper

Southern CA inspiration

Here are some handmade typography samples from a recent trip to the San Diego area. I've also included some photos I took to give you somewhat of an idea how insane the plant life is in the area! 

Also I skated Hawk's pool, bye!

Evil Beemer Board

Gonz dropped his fully custom hand-crafted and limited edition skate deck today, the Beemer board from Krooked, and it sold out instantly. 😩 10.75 x 34
