In dog we trust

Urban surfing at its finest. Connor was having so much fun doing this but, not as much as bruce. Man that dog loved to run around. We did this like 20 times before bruce needed rest. he was one happy pup that night.

That was a fully man!!!

Pat full cabbin' the hip

shot this the other day when james rode the monster... I have been kinda busy since and didnt really play with it until just now. Anyway I really like how it came out and am glad to be shooting something besides the fisheye.

When they designed the skatepark in Riverhead NY, I always questioned what the hell this thing was for. It is like waist height, maybe 100 feet long, and on a mellow downhill. Seemed to me like it was more of a design flaw than an obstacle. Well good ol' Jamie Arroyo had to go and prove me wrong and 50-50 that whole jawn.

p.s. He decided that he needed to ditch the helmet for this one too!!!

Riverhead Skatepark

Mr. Basso

First post back on the island. It has been a little while since my last post, and well today is the day that, that I change all of that. Went to riverhead today with the boyz and met up with our friend Pat. Pat lives like 4 minutes from the park and pretty much kills it. Shot a few bs melons today and well here are the results......

Pops Park

Nick has been crashing at my place for a little bit now and he has been paying his keep with all of the blunts he keeps bringing to POPS.

To sum up Pops Skatepark, the new skatepark in kensington, all I need is four words. Not bad....Not Good. Let me first start out by saying I am not one to bitch about a free skatepark. Thats how they should be, I feel we should start a movement to free them everywhere, but that is another rant entirely. But there are some issues in pops park that I feel make it a difficult place to skate. Nothing is particularly wrong with anything in the park, all of the pieces work, given the proper room. But at Pops sometimes I feel that things are a little too close. All this can simply be solved by just skating the park more. It is tight but you can do tricks there and well....ITS A FREE SKATEPARK. Leave it at that.

The Offbeats

Nice dance moves ehh?

Every time I go out shooting, I always end up with a bunch of shots that have something special about them but are not the shots that I would use. Either a weird fall shot that looks kooky, or maybe something when I was checking focus and light. These are the offbeats. The Offbeats is a project I have been working on for quite some time now, for a while without even knowing I was. I have always been fond of these images and have just recently started to put them together into one body of work. I got some cool ones the other day and was happy to add them to the body.

Bryson

Thread the Needle

Holy crap is this image a horizontal???? I bet you thought my camera was unable to do that.

This spot is at 1700 Market street, read the sign, and it is super tight. I can not explain how sick this shit is so you need to go and see it for yourself. You need to carve around the corner and avoid the corner of the building, quick set up, pop an ollie, and contort your body into a weird way to fit through the signs. This shit was a squeeze seriously, it is like 2 feet wide and 2.5 feet long. Bryson had to kick one of the first couple away and wound up hitting his knee real hard and sat down for like 20 minutes. But, like the trooper that he is he got up and came through. The new roomate, Nick came through with it too. The angle I got it from above looks real sick, but only got to take that one frame because security came out and gave us shit. But the money maker is below.....enjoy!!
