Drag can be stylish

During a session at London's Central 3 set, AJ decided to warm up with a kickflip. Normally AJ has his kickflips dialed and would land it first try. This wasn't the case. He fell somewhat badly 3 times in a row. So as either punishment, comedy, or sheer desperation, he decided to tuck the bottom of his shirt through the neck, to give it that "look". Anyways, he landed the kickflip 1st try once his shirt was in it's "special" way. Maybe he should consider keeping his shirts that way when skating...hell, it may even become the next skinny jeans, or potato sack pants phase.

Dave can Backside Flip

Yeah, Dave has solid backside flips. They are popped excessively high, and have excessive amounts of style. Anyways, here's a recent shot from when we skated The Red Brick 8 set. Personally, I hate it, but these kids can rip it to shit!

With the fall weather coming in, and the lovely colours that are starting to form around the city, London has a lot to offer in terms of "artistic" shots. I won't be shooting those until my new battery comes in. Gotta love paying $320 for a battery. These photos were shot a few weeks ago when my heel was wrecked. I'm back to skating though after 2 and half weeks of not standing on a board and barely walking. 

 

Dave Hn...something er other with a Backside Flip (sorry Dave, your last name is impossible to remember)
 Jay Chesterman with a Nollie Shuv

I don't know if I ever posted this photo. I know I meant to at one point only because it is a trick over a person. That's always a fresh idea. But of course, nothing will compare to Mike-Mo's Switch Flip over Malto. Nate's kickflip over Juan in this photo took 2 tries. Hearing stories of Mike-Mo, I'm sure his was first try.

My New Home

 These are the homies
 Dave Ayres doin 360 Flips every try in the mini ramp
 Jay Chesterman - Pop Shuv down the Bell 12
 This is the worst skatepark ever made (Although the mini is there)
Here is Dave doin a large ollie over Ian
 Dave also has a lot of pop in his Back 180s

I know I haven't updated this in a while, but the internet at my place is weird when it comes to uploading pics onto this. Anyways, the deal is that since I'm living in London, I have had some time to shoot some pics, as well as have a blast skating. 

College is going well, although it seems that I already know the majority of the work that has been handed out. 

I recently had a dumbass injury where I bruised my heel while being "somewhat" intoxicated at a friends house. I'm not going to say how it happened since it was rather stupid. You will have to ask my neighbours. Anyways, long story short, I have a very seriously bruised heel, and I'll be off my board for a minimum a week. Which isn't too bad, but it could have been avoided.

Anyways, hopefuly I'll be able to update this with new pics as often as possible. Stop by from time to time.

sorry about that

yeah, for a little while I didn't know my Google account to sign in to this thing, so I haven't been able to update for a loooooong time. Okay, here is the summary of my ware-abouts.

I was skating with the homies all summer, and working 55 hours a week infront of a computer screen for Apple. I have since quit that job and gone to college. I'm not living in London, and taking the photography course at Fanshawe College. It's awesome, I have great roommates that are definitely chill. My classes right now aren't too hard, but I'm sure that will become very different with time. 

Where I'm living, there is a bunch of skaters that are super cool. I'm with a tight krew of skate homies. Jay, AJ, and others. Vic Park every other day is awesome. I'll see if I can get my footy from Jay to post on here soon. I haven't really had time to search the city for any skate spots, but the guys that basically live here wanna show me around to see what could be thrown down. 

My actual roommates, Sam, Andrea, Isabelle, and Jeron are a great bunch of people with very different personalities (especially when they are drunk) but it makes it for a great environment to live in.

I have been shooting a fair amount of pics recently, and I will try to post them as often as possible. I haven't shot anything yet here in London, but I have big plans very soon.

Sorry again for the length without an update...I'll try my best to get about 3 or 4 posts a week.

Temporarily Back..

I have the internet back! Well, this is due to the skateshop has an internet connection that can be stolen from one of the stores. Anyways, there hasn't been much going on lately, but the other night we went to the states and hit up the Sunday Ledge spot. Here are some photos from the night.
