Random: Keegan watching Family Guy

How did I spend my Saturday you wonder?

I rode my bicycle down to the beach with Deanna and we checked out some paintball tournament that was going on. The people there were a menagerie of weirdness. The paintball kids wear these outrageous outfits like these. There were signs everywhere signifying epic dorkdom. I found myself at the forefront of the weed train somehow, legalize that shit, I still won't touch it. Could it be Logan has passed the torch to 'Kevin Kincade'? Three things to scope out and plan ahead for: #1, the Fallen Trailer featuring Josh Harmony, Billy Marks, and Matt Bennett, among others. #2, plan ahead for the Lurk-Fest premiere at Active in Rancho Cucamonga. And #3, The Burnout Blog has some Josh Harmony coverage.

Anatomy of a skate demo...

>>>Photo Key<<< The Butcher flies through the air, punctuating a scene filled with irony and delight. It's Sunday. So many things to see and do. ----And to do in the Future as well...

Diego the Butcher, Always on an Adventure

When he is not schralping the 'crete he is out shooting photos of beautiful subjects like the Lledia River, or his wife Mabel, and wishing he was here.

More Than A House, A Home

Nick got a new place with homies Monte and the ever hyphy JJ. Matt B. rolled by and got excited but eventually calmed down to take in an epic yarn spun by Pasqual. Hijinx. --------------Don't forget to attend the Lurk-fest Premiere and signing...

Black Tide Rockin' Dekline

Black Tide played on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night and they were rockin' their Dekline kicks.  Nice!!

On the Up and Up

Matt B. got out and back-tailed his way to the store yesterday. Grif sparked the sesh with 50-50's to kick-flips Here's another angle (of the dangle). Our little friend Andrew looked like a monster. --------------Scope this out Jacky--O...

Ed gets choked-out by hairless Grif...

Photo Key: Some time a while back. Sucks my bros didn't help me out. Johnny says, 'This lady would have helped you, man.'

Kevin calls out, HARK!!!! Who goes there?

It's a life of video taping young rippled adonis's like Harmony, just back from Vietnam of all places. Josh taps an ollie over the hip in the LBC with an array of fans in the background. Josh has lots of fans in Long Beach.

Chase at my door...

This is Chase, a skater neighbor of mine. He comes by no less than 5 times a day asking me to go skate with him. Usually I am too busy working on Toy Machine to go shred his quarter-pipe.

Dyet takes best trick in Tampa

Watch the video, I dont know what you would even call this

Nice job Dyet!

Watch video:

another weekend in the sun

First spot on the list was the 3 benches in a row. Looking pretty good... Home of the kittens. Next spot was this pole jam/bump to rail. Pig Wheels flow rider Drew Dezort got down on it... Foundation flow rider Elijah Berle was there. Checked the 50-50 off the list. School art. School art. School art. Moving on... Nice next spot. We were rolling 6 cars deep at this spot. Next spot was this rail in the ghetto where our camera gear almost got stolen. Good thing we were rolling 10 people deep. For a second I thought the Emerica team was rolling up... We found a football and got creative. While people skated the rail the others tried to throw touchdowns into the can. I was going to say 9 times out of 10 we missed. But its safe to say 10 times out of 10 we missed. So we moved on... Throw it at the filmer and skater skating the rail... Or throw it at the skater as soon as he lands the trick. Heres Foundation flow rider Sean Conover with a lipslide to touchdown catch. Heres the bigger version. Oh yea theres that famous double set at the same school. But I was a little sketched on getting out of my car at that point so I shot it through my rear view mirror. So you can just call it art.

Brian and Griffin made an 'art film'?

Starring Grif himself, lots of Toy riders, and Kevin Barnett shreds in it too...

There Will Be Blood

Matt B. knows today is the day to shred the bust spots, because these ball bags are off duty. Josh Harmony goes to Vietnam!

Jason Adams on The Berrics

Check out Jason Adams and the Black Label Crew on The Berrics.

Locals Only!

Just another day walking down cliffs to get to spots... Spots that are next to the ocean for ultra artsy pics non stop. These birds got chased by a very energetic dog... Here was the suspect. A bird eating dog that didn't eat any birds that day. I just named him the bird eating dog because I'm not sure what he would have done if he would've ever actually caught up to the birds. My guess - eat them. Apparently the dog didn't get the memo that he wasn't supposed to be there. Maybe he was confused though because that looks like a dog unicorn. And he forsure just looked like a dog. Mooooooooving on. This was the spot that we were after. Bank to ledge thingamajig. Apparently Grahm likes something inappropriate to say on a website. Shit is no joke. That's why I was just shooting photos... Don't skate this side... say what? Oh yeah...Every like mmm 15 minutes or so the coaster runs by... Welcome to the danger zone. Art. Art. I found a new hubba. Looks allright. All you need is like a parachute and some wood for the roll up and landing. And you are good to go. I made sure to let the locals know who was there. And found a wiffle golf ball. With this kind of luck I figured I should probably go straight here. Art. Local...

Mark Lake Nightmare Board

Something from the mid-80's before you were born most likely. Any older dudes remember these?

Relaxing on the beach instead of ripping...

Photo Key: I see how it is. Luckily my spy Grif and his pesky camera are always keeping tabs on the team to see what they are really doing... Go to the RVCA Blog to see what Josh is up to in China with the RVCA team!

Heres a before and after when Nuge challenged a local at Skatetopia in arm wrestling.

Green with Envy

That we don't have an ice-skating rink in our downtown. That we have nice warm sunny days all through winter. You choose.

Laughing WITH you, not AT you...

Leo, Jimmy, and Josh take a look at Leo's newest photo.

Finally, there is a website.

Now I can get saved at home on my own time.

Do it yourself project...

Rolled up to the very bland spot... And I was thinking...since everyone now a days seems to making they're own spots why not give it a whirl. Here's what I came up with. Good idea huh. The employees inside the business were so stoked on my idea that they actually gave us 8 Monster energy drinks. No Joke. Little to say this night was killing it...

The ARC Filming Contest

Travis from ARC skateshop in Eden, NC sent over a couple videos to check out. Heres what he had to say about it: It was an amateur filming contest giving local filmers a time to stand out and show that they are a part of videos as much as the skaters. Judging was based on editing originality and of course skating we had many entries with only 2 winners. The top video on the page was first place.

Nick T has been dating Natalie Portman...

But hates getting schlubbed around to various events and getting paparazi-gang-raped at every sidewalk they walk on. Hey, at least Toy riders don't pay for sex like other rich and powerful men.

Look what came in the mail...

Austin and Team get Celebrity Tail...

Austin has many girlfriends, Mischa Barton being one of them. Flow rider Grant (Photo Key) goes out with Laura San Giacomo from TV's Just Shoot Me. Even Griffin Collins (who called me the other day saying he was gonna be at the HB park at 4:30, but then never showed up and I waited for him cause I thought it would be fun to have a sesh with him...) gets some epic tail. Scarlett wasn't Johnny's first choice in a chill girl. (BTW, you can meet Johnny's girl through eBay right now) But she was Tom Cruise's second choice. (See that blinking banner below?

Ever since J-Lay started dating Scarlett

Things have gotten crazy for him and for Toy Machine. His starring role in Lurk-Fest has really turned her on. Kevin isn't as jealous as the rest of the team when filming Johnny, because he stopped liking her after Ghost World.

Josh getting man-handled in Russia

See it in Lurk-Fest or the Fallen video, I forget which one, maybe neither!

Lot Lizards

Lot Lizards are different than Lounge Lizards, but not that much different than the Lizard King, or Spitzer.

Keanu reacts to Pat's bad news.

The paparazzi can't get enough of him for their tabloid papers. Scandals about him throwing a bat into a crowd, or getting a bat tattooed on his face. At least he skates more that Bush shows up to work.
