Indian_Larry_RIP

I always respected and admired his work. Here are some photos I shot in 2007 at a Bike Show of some of his motorcycles. I just always loved how much time and effort he spent in each and every motor to make sure it was just right. So here are some tight close up shots of that work. ENJOY!!! More new stuff on the way this week just been super busy with work lately.

Puttin_in_the_WORK_to_make_it_Skateable

Jed Shooter worked harder on trying to set this rail up and make it stay just to skate it for fun than he did actually doing this bluntslide. Notice all the big chunks of concrete and rocks stabilizing the rail. Jed and Chad Shooter have always been down to put in the work and effort to make spots skateable that are not. So the next time you see something you want to skate go to Lowe's or the Home Depot and get the tools you need to make it possible have a good weekend. ENJOY!!!

Young_I_MEAN_Young_Justin_Brock_PHOTO

Man I had to dig way back in the archive to find this jewel. Justin might have 14 maybe 15 when I shot this photo I was still in college. Next time you see Justin ask about the hair that's right its permed fools full on. I guess this was Justin's first real legit handrail he skated it was crazy no generator head lights from my car lighting up the stairs and landing pitch black at the top tough it was a crazy night for sure. There will definitely be more old Brock photos to come real soon this is the first of many. Big congrats to Justin on all the things he has done this year the debacle video, interviews, ads, covers baby covers, and girls. Check out all the new stuff going on over at deluxe with Justin and the rest of the team www.dlxsf.com Enjoy!!!

Reuben_Pickle_Has_Lost_His_MIND

In a month's time while I was gone this dude has completely changed his whole life. I come back and no one has talked to Reuben or seen him in days. He turned into Boxcar Willy jumping tracks. For real he was ghost. What's really going on is that he had made some big changes in his life and now he's starting to try to get everything back in order like it was. If you know Reuben you know he is always down for a session on anything. He has a real unqiue style about him he will skate shit no one else will even think about skating. He is not one that cares how rough the pavement is or how chunky the ledge is or how hard the line is to get to the bank, wall, gap, stairs, rail, or manny pad if he sees it in his head he will go for it full throttle. That's what I love about watching this guy skate. In that month's time one thing is clear he didn't stop skating any if anything he has been skating harder and charging shit like I have never seen before. You'll see right below in this sequence he pretty much shut this spot down with this trick in my opinion charging this wallride at mach 10. Here's to you Reuben keep ripping and charging good to see you skating so hard and killing like you have been.

OLD PHOTOS

Here are just a few photos I shot over past three or so years traveling around to different Motorcycle events and RockABilly Events like Heavy Rebel Weekend in Winston-Salem NC. They are definitely more shots to come of stuff like this along with the skating so hit me up and drop a comment if you like it. ENJOY!!!!!!





Sneak Peek

Here's a look at what me and Colby have been working on mostly Colby because I've been out of the country and he is my motorcycle goto and GURU. We've been riding together since day one when we met up on our bikes about four years ago and right now we are both in the stage of building new bikes so heres a look at what's to come real soon. Me and Colby both have the same ideas and views on what bikes are supposed to look like in our minds and thats why he's doing this build for me because I could leave this project totally up to him and know that the finished project would be exactly what I wanted. Thanks Colby for being a great friend and a big help. Also the blog is about to change a little bit from being only skating to being about everything I love like skating, photography, motorcycles, cars, and some other stuff don't really know what the other stuff is yet. Hope you like it. Oh yeah these photos were shot again with the good old iphone damn I would be lost without that thing.

Just The Other Night @ Joey's

The other night at Joey's was a blast good times as always and great session there was some dirt bike riding, burn-outs, grilled food, beer drinking, and always skating here are some photos of that night. I finally got to meet Josh Bowman aka "SWAYZE's" wife and son that night they just got back from Chile. Anyone who knows Swayze knows he's been without his wife and son for some time do to immigration I guess not sure but the good thing is they're here now and all living in Winston-Salem. Enjoy!!!

Switzerland Jumping

I just spent the last month in Leysin, Switzerland shooting a job. While I was there I got the opportunity to go Para Gliding twice. It was an amazing experience to say the least the trip and running off the side of a mountain in the Swiss Alps was not to bad either. This is the third time I had been there but this was definitely the longest so I really got the chance to take advantage of all the Alps had to offer in the summer time from biking, rock climbing, music, Swiss National Day(which is basically their 4th of July on August 1st), beer, cheese lots of cheese, chocolate, film festivals, and beautiful country side it really is one of the most beautiful places to be in the summer and winter. So enough of that I could go on and on about the trip, so I shot a video of the jump with my Canon G10 and edited it down in iMovie. Hope you like it Im not James Tupper.

All the NEW little Photos on the RIGHT

Where taken using my iphone, and processing them out through an app called camera bag it's just something I have been doing every since I had the phone and thought I would post them up. It's just one of those things sometimes you wish you had a camera and the only thing you got is your phone you know. Enjoy!!!! Below are some more photos taken with the phone.
