Outta Control

I need to catch up on blog posts. I've just been so busy lately. On Thursday night and all day Friday the Anti Hero and Girl skate teams were at the Yakima Skatepark filming while on the Beauty and the Beast 2 tour. So mindblowing and awesome to be there.
Pictures I took can be found on my Flickr of course. Peep them all there.

Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday were spent in Seattle hanging out with Sophie before she left, skating with friends, and just relaxing. We skated Greenlake, Ballard Bowl, Marginal Way, the new Seattle Center skatepark, and bombed plenty of hills downtown. Big shouts to Clay and David for the places to stay and the awesome hangouts. I came back to Yakima and found an early birthday present waiting for me in the form of an 8.25 Bacon deck.
And here's a few mobile phone photos.

Confederation and Canada, who needs American pride?

Money Mafia

Weekend trip up to Omak/Okanogan/Conconully. Our family and extended family have three cabins in a row on Lake Conconully and hella people were up this weekend for the Omak Stampede, Rodeo, and world-famous Suicide Race. My most favorite cousin Sophie and her also awesome brothers Riley and Sebastian were up too. There was a lot of swimming, rope swings, jumping off water spillways, and having no cell reception. It was an amazing weekend.

Carnival during the rodeo as well. Sebastian, Lily, Riley

There would be pictures of us doing fun water activities but Lily dropped her camera in the water and that plan went shitty.
I want to visit Colorado very soon.

work art

and artwork. Heres some doodles from work. I'm obviously very productive. Today was rainy, I didn't get to skate. I worked and baked a cake.

HUB

If you live in Oregon, or are in Oregon this weekend, you should probably go to this.


And if you're familiar with the 4bi9 ski crew, this is like the Steve Stepp of BMX right here.

creature comforts

Lily and Greg are pretty awesome and got Jack a late birthday present and me an early one. Mine was a set of 56mm Bones skatepark formula wheels with fortys on them, awesome. Jack's was an 8.6 Darren Navarette Creature deck, totally B.A. Thanx again Lily and Greg, LUV U MUCHO

rest

Best hopes and wishes to Rodney's family, condolences to David's family as well, and to my grandma, whom my family is going to see today due to her not so good medical conditions. Bad week for grandmas to say the least, I hope everything gets better. Well besides this depressing shit, heres some nice art from Fudge Factory Comics.

good to be back

I should blog more often. I've been working two jobs. Electronics at KMart, and at a river inner tubing place called Lets Go Tubing, come by and visit sometime. Going to our cabins in ye old woods this weekend, will update about that. Skated with Ricky today, some kid broke his arm at the skatepark and a firefighter ollied and kickflipped in his boots.
