Bay66 Skatepark, London, UK

Last week I vacationed over to London, England with my mom and my cousin. One of the days we went, my cousin and I went over to the skatepark in West London called Bay66. Its a super sick park under the railroad overpass, and is giant. I met some awesome people and even got to ride a little bit. More pics of the rest of my trip coming up, enjoy!

Joe busting a huge air

They even had a hammock there!

I asked Joe if he could clear the box...He flipped it and landed backwards.

West Oakland Skatepark Sesh

The other day me and Zeph went over to Berkeley skatepark to meet up with Sergio, Trevor, Kameron, and Boz. An hour and a trip to Happy Donuts later, we headed over to West Oakland to ride their skatepark that is pretty much falling apart. Its actually a super fun park with a lot of god stunts, they are just rotting away and some of the coping is hanging on by a screw or so. The entrance is also a hole in the fence. The kids at the park were super funny, and were getting stoked on Serg and Kam's BMX's. We hooked them up with some Brazen stuff and got them even more stoked. Enjoy!

Trevor doing a crazy wallride gap. The wall is about 6 feet away from the bank where he took off.

Boz gettin it flat on the halfpipe that is beginning to fall apart

Sergio with a nice turndown air

Trevor never stops. Fat no hander air on the halfpipe. I like this angle because you can see the rest of the park and how ghetto it is.

Trevor's ankle after trying barspins. This trick is not nice to your body when trying to learn them.

P-Town Shredding

The past few days I have been going up to Petaluma, and shooting a bit, but more focusing on riding. I have been riding a lot, which is sick, but then shooting the last half hour or so, and I am stoked on these. All are shot with my 50 1.8 lens, which is for those of you who don't know, a fixed lens with a great depth of field. Enjoy!

Kody Seaton with a huge tire slide. He actually slid down the side of the volcano too, because the whole park is graffiti'd and its slippery.

I dont know who this is, but I like this a lot.

Kody with a tuck out of the BS, which is a hip.

Kody tabling out of a sketch hip. Look that that transition!

Zephyr whipping it out on the BS. Zeph hasn't been riding lately because of college, but as soon as he gets on the bike, you know that he still has it.

Summmertime and the Livin is Easy

The past few days I've been in Mill Valley and Corte Madera, shooting with friends and riding a bunch. We have been building stuff, finding free stuff, wandering around town, and riding till dark, and shooting photos. Here are the results, enjoy!

Our free scooter. Only in Marin would somebody leave a working electric scooter on the side of the road with a free sign.

Andrew, Sergio, Reese, and Sam shredding the skatepark at dusk

Next to the skatepark was a construction project and they had torn up a lot of concrete. Sergio goes over and starts looking at it, and within minutes has a ghetto hip set up. Andrew pinch flatted because the concrete was sharp, but Serg had it down and was even tricking it.

Late night sesh at Proof Lab, with two cars as lighting. The following two pictures were taken with no flash, so I had to ramp up the ISO, meaning graininess.

This is from today, Simon Foucher 180ing over a rail. Simon can 180 higher than I can bunnyhop, which is around 3 feet.

Some Newbies

The other day me Serg and Zeph headed over to Hamilton to meet up with Kam Simon and Nick for a sesh with the sun coming down. It was super fun, no skaters and great light. These are some of my favorites from the sesh, but unfortunately since I have a new computer, I am photoshopless right now so I cant really watermark my photos. I added the frames on flickr. Anyways, these are all of Simon and Kam. Enjoy...

We were bored and Kai looked like a hipster today.
