My 4day trip to California that took 3 and a half weeks
|
|
So Dave Reul and I made a stop by one of his Mentors houses to hang out and review some plans. Dave Hackett, he's the genuine article! |
 |
| Santa Ana California, 3rd annual Hosoi Skate Contest, check it out. |
Damn HBV's been getting me down but I'm over it |
It was tough getting Dave Reul out of Orange curtain |
| Check out Mark Partain, evidently he picked up a skateboard magazine after being in the jungle in Hawaii for 3 years and saw all kinds of concrete, so He's Back and looking forward to going to Skatopia. Evidently he's already spent time in Arizona. So I'm still very leary of skateboarding in small fullpipe's, I guess my problem is that the smaller they are the quicker you have to react. Just like water flowing faster through a smaller pipe, more pressure! | I don't know who the skater was but he was in on the Bowl side safety meeting. I was told this was a sick pool and I was not disappointed. I've been seeing a lot of right handed kidney's out here in California and I like it. Oops, no pictures of me at either of these spots. Want to see more pictures? More pictures and a cool story of Team Goon's late night visit that I came across on www.teamgoon.com . So where is this pool? I don't know, Reul blind folded me. |
 Basic Contest. Here's the co-winner, Dave Reul, taking a break from his alternate personality of Hank Reulr. Every Skater owe's it to him/herself to check out the Skatanic Redneks, it's more fun than you should be allowed to have in a bar. |
 Another co-winner of the Basic Bowl, Mark Partain Smith Grinding the Deathbox, yes, he grinds them really far. Look for more of Mark, he's back from the Jungle with his style Junglefied. |
Jake Piasecki came up with 3rd place. Jake was laying it back like which
matched the layed back attitude and layed back day at the Basic Bowl.
|
Jimmy The Greek took 4th, skating padless, he's been busy skating all of the pool
events that have been going on, recently taking 2nd at the Tim Brauch
Memorial www.timbrauch.com
|
 One of the many ladies I met on my trip to California, thing is, she's from Germany. I hope Sandra and Ivana had a nice flight back. |
 Heck, what can I say, I had a really good time in California. Sitting on Dave Reuls couch in his backyard waiting for him to wake was a good time at times. |
 |
| Chris Cook fully participating in the N-MEN Pool Party at the Strawberry Lodge. A lot of fun went on! |
|
|
| So I was there in San Diego, little Italy to be exact, got
here at 6am in the morning. the last day of the tradeshow. We saw TSOL and the Adolesents, skated Skateboard
Heaven, lost the keys to the mini van, went to the tradeshow in afternoon.
Around these parts they stop the mosh pits to mop up the beer. Beer
stopped flowing at the Etnies party to mop the floor, they keep the floor clean
is what I'm saying. After 36 hours of being is a mini van with Brewce it
was time to rage with Dave Reul, we missed the Skatanic Rednecks show the
previous evening while we were driving. Oh yeah, check it out, the "Skatanic
Redneks" are getting there starter packages ready, check out the
contents, they should be available soon. For
a picture of the Texas Rednek
Oh the excitement, today 9-18 I had Rednek Stew and learned the words to the Skatanic Redneks song "John Wayne", its a crowd favorite at the local watering whole in Huntington Beach. The HBV (Huntington Beach Virus) was flaring up today keeping me on the computer. HBV can be very taxing on the body and is the first stage that can develop into full blow HBD (Huntington Beach Disease). But anyway, check it out, the Rednek Stew Recipe as well as the song words to "John Wayne". |
| Pictures from Brewce's throwaway cameras. Here's a tip, break them open and take the film out yourself and you get a free battery! | |
 Brewce, double axle frontside, over vertical. |
 Grinding a back yard pool, very enjoyable! This pool was so fun, we want to make a replica of it. |
 It was a rough couple of days. Laying in the bottom of burnquists fullpipe. |
 Brewce gringing the hip at Gonzo's. Mellow hip of the right handed kidney. |
 Yet another picture from Gonzo's, a great Pool. Dave Reul pulling hard to clear the stair rails. |
