Boy, I was ready. I had my cameras, my broom, my shred sled. And just when I was about to get an photo with Bradford, and damn cop came to kick us out. What buttfaced losery prick would call the cops on a few skaters enjoying a ditch on the side of the freeway, completely away from everything? The cop said we were doing graffiti. Austin Stephens brought his camera too and shot these very nice portraits of Josh Harmony and crusty old me, along with all these other photos.

Corey came down for the Foundation premiere with some friends from Northern, CA. Cairo, Nestor, Kyle, mixed in with Angel's Colorado friends. I snapped a blurry picture of them for proof!
Johnny Layton back D's the shit out of the extension at the Banana Farm in Texas.
If you live in So-Cal, go to the video premiere of flow rider Brian Hanson, called GPH...
And congratulations to Nick Trapasso for getting 37th place at Tampa Am!

Josh steps up and asks what the hell you're looking at. It's best to avert your eyes from his pretty lady and go on about your business. You don't want to tangle with the likes of Harmony.

Matt might have missed the Foundation premiere last friday because he was in Vegas but that didnt stop him from knocking out this interview.

Bennett left a message fortelling the epic sesh that will be. At every spot he finds a way to climb up on something like the Predator or a ninja or something.
Like a giant glass dil-do crushing the sun, welcome to the Cul-De-Sac of Lameness.

Video Premiere is Tonight! Along with a Tum Yeto open house all weekend, built to shred course being built in the warehouse and Dekline is doing tradeshow. We have a couple things going on right now. Pick you're destiny.
Harmony attended a Black Box Open House on behalf of his shoe sponsor yesterday. Business was handled in the form of ample rippage from Josh and Matt B, the latter of which escaped undocumented.
Check for more Ed whining over at the cul-de-sac.
There was some Josh Harmony gnarliness up here earlier, but we had to shut that down due to some complaints from parent's groups saying we were scarring their children by showing such brutal skate attacks. Don't blame us.
Loyal Pawns who are waiting for their DAILY injection, enjoy Ed's Blog or the Random Blog.
It seems like Kevin refuses to update. ENJOY the stagnation! I'm going hands off!

We ran into some odd people in Ebor City. So we did the smart thing and hung out with them. Maybe this is video hype or something. kinda fits huh? A tampa am 2007 slideshow just got added. Check it out. Or just watch this.
And you find yourself at Chuck-E-Cheese's playing games with a bunch of little kids. The spot was blown out, and you just say fuck it, lets go there... Lets have some weird times.

As they rest in between skating at a spot, Matt gives Nick some important pointers about holding down the Toy am team. It's a rough job, but somebody's got to do it...
Suffer The Joy
Although he is not really crying, just caught by the camera at a strange moment of conversation and /or laughter, Brendan, aka BARR has a new record coming out and you need to buy it.
Posted January 20th, 2007 by A person who knows...
Billy came by Johnny's the other day to go the the Aquarium. He's chipped a bone in his shin so he needed to occupy some time. He and J-Lay gimped around on an underwater adventure with matching Jimi Hendrix shirts. Very cute...
Don't forget to Suffer.
But here is Geoff Rowley surfing his car down a Huntington Beach street at 55mph, What a nutter!
And here is a photo of a Tarantula that he sent me. He shot it out in Arizona...
Posted January 19th, 2007 by Grizzly Adams has nothing on this guy...
Until then, and by then I mean when Kevin decides to do his job, and take into consideration the multitude of Loyal Pawns who are waiting for their DAILY injection, enjoy Ed's Blog or the Random Blog.

This time he got the chief, Jamie Thomas. Here is an old photo of Jamie from 1995 or so, when we were in SF filming for Welcome to Hell. D. Barley is messing with him...

Even though this link is old as shit maybe you will find out something about Cataclysmic Abyss that you didnt know...Or if your over that just click here to watch some footy of Sierra and David during some circa demos. But make sure to close your eyes when the other dudes skate because they dont ride for us. And if those links dont do it for you then i guess just click this. Respect

Matt came in to walk through the warehouse and grab some shoes and wheels. He's been working hard on his Birdhouse part. So keep a eye out for that due out this summer or so.
This time he comes back home with some Steve Berra Memorabilia... Check out Steve's new film, The Good Life, starring one of Austin's favorites, Zooey Deschanel.
Posted January 9th, 2007 by Franny AND Zooey Deschanel, actually...
While Ed unravels stories of world championship domination Matt B wonders how the aliens took control of humanity in the first place. Afterwards Ed gave Matt a ride home and they talked about how much Billy Marks looks like Steve Berra.
Check out the Car Wash Montage from Suffer the Joy dot com.

Austin had a good time skating this weekend. Clockin' footy for the Emerica vid. He didn't get mad.

This really weird guy came up to the car acting like a complete dick when Corey was driving. I remember Corey having to explain what dunny ment to the guy...made me laugh. Maybe you had to be there...
The Carwash Banks saw a bunch of sessions over the past couple years. It's one of Austin's favorite spots. Check Suffer The Joy and see what didn't make the cut.
Flat bar spot in Duffel land. Not exactly the smallest rail in the world. Didnt stop Tommy from jumping on it that day though. Sierra and Angel lurk in the background...
Since Louie was in town he decided to pay us a visit. Skated the dick board, bong board, and shark board we have in the warehouse. Pretty epic shapes if you ask me. Then raided the warehouse for some product and left. See you next time Louie. You're personal limited edition bong board is in the works ok...
Destroyed by the sequence of actions you choose to make, -that define who you are.
Make good choices.
in 2008 you will look back on 2007 in ashes, smoldering, wrecked in your wake. It was your year.
Posted January 2nd, 2007 by And of course purchase ONLY Toy Machine.
Sierra is back home spending time with his family for the holidays. But don't worry he'll be back soon finishing up final touches on his Foundation part and skating in Tampa Am.
Heres the best entry we got for the contest. Even though it came a bit after the deadline, i think its worthy of the grand prize. Board, wheels, tees, and stickers. Thanks for everyone that entered.
