2011-08-13T01:09:00.000-07:00

i dont know what to do. i kinda feel like everything is falling apart. its 130am and im sitting in my underwear searching the internet trying to find out if what im hearing is true. es is no more? not possible. the company that i have loved for soo long is done. i feel like ive been walking along this path with a guide and now that guide has abandoned me. where will we go and what will we use to protect our feet. im not sure what tomorrow is going to be like. but i pray it will be a new day a bright day and day where we can go out and skate in peace but i fear that it will be sad and gloomy.

rip es. one of my favorite company's since i first stepped on a skateboard is supposedly done. i hope in the next few days ill find outs its not true but my heart tells me that it is. its a sad day for skateboarding.

business

2011-08-06T13:40:00.000-07:00

2011-06-07T12:55:00.000-07:00

went out skating with jam, lui, and nicky yesterday. jam was hurt so he ended up shooting photos with my camera all day and i filmed.
we went to foothill and i was feeling a line and started trying it so jam took the camera and started filming me. in the heat of the moment i broke my first skateboard from actually doing a trick haha, not just snapping it with my foot. it was a glorious day. lui loaned me his board and i got the line.
here are some flicks from the rest of the day. all these photos shot by jameel douglas.

except this one i shot this one of jam crying.

me getting served on a bluntslide.

me backside bluntslide.

jam getting really artsy

and last but not least luis got this awesome nosegrind where he grabs the board like a stailfish mid nosegrind a yanks out.
anyways there wasnt a good angle where you could really see the grab so i just used this one of an awesome nosegrind.

hope you enjoy.

Ipath sold to Klone lab "licensing agent for New Balance sandals"

2011-01-12T10:42:00.000-08:00

Timberland shoes sold Ipath to Klone lab. A licensing agent for new balance. I think this was a positive thing. They may not be skater owned and operated but they are closer then when on timberland. Skateboarding has such a weird feel to it now. Everything is about i like this company and that company is wack for this reason or that reason but it shouldnt be like that. I have mad love for ipath they have been around for days and have had a good team a good product and a positive outlook on skateboarding. I hope they do good this new year and stay alive. Keep your eyes out for some killer stuff by their riders ryan lay, jaws, goeman and sabback
