LightnerJust in case you needed another reason as to why Vans is the greatest shoe company around.
if you haven’t already noticed, thrash and cross-over are back and bigger than ever. i saw/heard Neurotoxin for the first time last night when i went to see Municipal Waste and Annihilation Time in Hollywood, and man was i blown away. They skate, they thrash, & they covered Slayer’s “War Ensemble” to the T, even with one guitar out of commission, solo and all.. my cousin Chris & i will be shooting some promo shit for them sometime soon.. be sure to check these dudes out if you like slayer- for real.
:L
then believe the guy who wrote this review on Annihilation Times new album “III”. i was googling AT info for an upcoming show and came across this review and was immediately hooked due to the opening line : “I CANT SKATE AND I DONT SMOKE WEED…”
GO BUY THIS RECORD. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

danimal and the rest of us scummys @ svrf & destroy, threw this logo into the machine and created two dozen (24) torso covers..
hit up the animal danimal to see if you’re righteous enough to rock the heaviest look of the sleazon.

This dude is from Brazil, came out for the Maloof Money Cup Vert Ams and took home second place. I sniped a few shoots of him at Chino the other night. This kid goes HUGE!
This past Thursday morning our friend, Dale Arden, got first crack at the new Fontana park with Bellmar, Salba and Lance Mountain…lucky bastard! Park was built by CA Skateparks with Salba and Mountain having their hands in the design of the pools. Two pools with pool coping and socal’s first cradle, this place is going to be insane. Word is that it won’t open until November.

I’ve been really into this band lately. Vocals remind me a little of John K. Samson of Propagandhi/Weakerthans fame. Maybe a little Death Cab/Bloc Party/Stokes-ish. Whatever it sounds like, the entire Elephant Shell record chalked full of short, super catchy songs, which does quite well for my A.D.D.
Got a call late thursday afternoon for a session at Jokers with Russ, Mark, Jimmy, Jake and a few others. First time there and it was super sick. Thanks to Russ for the call and thanks Corey and family for having me over! I only got a few photos…

As I was trying to find a proper way for you to experience Snapcase, I came across this video. It is pretty much the best thing I’ve seen on youtube in a long time. It is a wedding themed, karaoke party…not just any karaoke, but all hardcore music. How sick is that? Europeans love American music so much more than we do.
Although this post can’t touch the previous 3, here are some skateboarding photos. This is Ron’s pool AKA Punker’s. Another one of the elite Orange County backyarders. I was fortunate to get a session the other night with Chris, Dale, Steve, Jimmy and Ron. This pool is so sick, a little difficult, but fun once you get the hang of it. Many thanks to Ron for having us over.

it’s summer. time to fire up the BBQ, post up by the pool (with or without water, your choice) and grab some beers. this album should be your summer anthem for 2008. you may recognize a few people in this video…
