Dahhhh
So last week was pretty boring, didn't do that much. Pretty much just did the same thing every day. School, go home, do nothing, work or what ever and maybe skate. I didn't really do anything this weekend. Shot the football game on Friday night, skated the warehouse, chilled at my friends place and then went home. Saturday I skated Pecos in the morning, then went to the Dbacks game, then went to the warehouse. Sunday I went to El Mirage with Stephen and Sergio, and Eric and Lucky ended up meeting up with us there, shot a photo of Eric, after that Stephen, Sergio and I went to downtown PHX and mobbed around then I went home for a little then went to Church and that's really it.

Damn Good Fun
Last week was pretty eventful, not. I didn't do much last week, I think I slept half the time because I was catching up with sleep I lost in Cali from the week before, I went to bed at 8:30 one night. Anyways I didn't really do anything until Friday night, went to the KKSM bible study like usual and skated there till like midnight. Then on Saturday I went skating with Derrick, Andrew, Eric, Marcus, and like 8 other people, went all met up at this ledge spot in Gilbert, then we went to the Highland gap and almost everyone threw down, here are some photos...

Gustavo is really good, he landed this tre flip like 4th try.

Derrick doing a switch flip.
After highland we went to Tumbleweed gap but it got dark fast so we didn't have time to do anything. And I stepped on a nail so it sucked more. Everyone was over skating after tumbleweed so I went to the warehouse for the Saturday night bible study then skated till like 11 then went home and edited photos then crashed.
Sunday was pretty fun. Derrick, Dustin and I went to downtown Phoenix and skated for a little bit.

Dustin did backlip on this rail like 5th try, he's a beast.
So thats really it. Umm, I have 3 more weeks of school left and then first quarter is done and Me and Eric Dutton are going to Cali for like 3 days to skate and we are going to Knott's Berry Farm, soo stoked for it!

ASR
So last week I went to San Diego with UBF for ASR then went to Newport with Britt for two days after, it was pretty dope.
Britt, Tommy, Derrick and I left for San Diego around 6am Wednesday morning. We took the i-10 to the 85 to the i-8 and it felt like it took forever! I really don't like the 8, to many hills and border stops, oh well. We got in to San Diego around 11:30 but we had to drive up to Carlsbad for Crossroads, kinda wish we took the 10 to the i-15, it might of been faster. Anyways, we got to Crossroads around 12, perfect timing. Crossroads is like ASR, its a trade show that Jamie Thomas started at the Black Box Distribution warehouse but its just skateboarding companies. It was pretty cool, met a lot of cool people, talked to some guys I haven't seen in awhile and got some free stuff. After Crossroads we got some food then took off for our hotel, but we made a stop in Del Mar to skate that bank to ledge next to the train tracks on the beach, its a rad spot. I shot a couple photos there, but I'm going to hang on to one of them. He's a photo of Britt's front smith..

After that we went to our hotel. It was in the heart of Downtown San Diego. We pretty much just settled in and hung out for rest of the night.
On Thursday, we woke up around 8:30, got ready, went to breakfast then headed down to ASR at the San Diego Convention Center. The convention center was a couple blocks away from our hotel so we just skated to it, pretty rad. For those who don't know what ASR is, its a trade sport for pretty much any action sports related company or shop, its pretty rad. We spend about a hour there, then Derrick, Britt and I decided to drive up to Costa Mesa to go RVCA to hang out with Carney, we went to Costa Mesa to and skated with Zac and Dillon for a little. After Costa Mesa we went to the beach and watched an amazing sunset, stopped at Dough Boys then headed back to San Diego. Once we got back to the hotel, Britt, Adam, Bailey, Cody, Allie and I went to TGI Fridays and got some food, then went back to the hotel and crashed.
Friday was a rad day. We went to ASR in the morning then went skating. We hit up some rad skatepark in San Diego. They had this huge bowl in the back and Dustin and Cody were shreding it. Here are some photos.

Dustin Front smith.
This bowl was huge, you have to be there in person to know how big it is.
After we got done there we went to this ledge spot under the Coronado bridge then headed back to the hotel, went to dinner then went back to the hotel and chilled. I went over to Coronado just to check out the view of downtown San Diego, driving on that bridge is gnarly!!!
Saturday was the last day of ASR, everyone expect Mine and Adam's car left in the morning. So Britt, Adam, Bailey, Allie, Cody and I went to ASR for a little then Britt and I left for Newport. We ended up driving striahgt to LA to meet up with Zac, Carney, Austin, Sean and Daniel. After LA we went to Chino park then we went back to Costa Mesa, hung out for a little, then went to Tyler's house and crashed.
We went to church Sunday morning, chilled for a little then went to Costa Mesa with Zac, Sean, Daniel and Lance. Then Britt and I took off for AZ.
So that was pretty much my trip. Super fun. Can't wait for next year. I'm going back to Cali in a month for Knotts with Dutton so it'll be sick!

Cali cali cali
So here's my weekly update for the week...Well this week went by pretty fast. My mom's sister and mom came to town so it was awesome getting to hang out with them. My grandma gave me $150 for clothes and stuff, so I bought a pair of shoes and then using the rest of money for stuff from RVCA so I'm pumped for that. Labor day Police force is insane, not only we're they trying to nail you for DUI's but for speeding to, I almost got caught in a speed trap but lucky I saw the cops so I watched my speed because I tend to not pay attention to my speed when i'm on the freeway haha. I didn't really shoot any photos this week or this weekend because I'm trying to chill out with the driving and stuff before I go to Cali on Wednesday for Crossroads and ASR. I'm really looking forward to this trip, I'm going with UBF and my friend Britt is coming along to so I know i'll finally be getting a lot of skate photos out there instead coming back with lifestyles and park photos haha. Here's a look at the weather I'll enjoying in SD... http://weather.msn.com/tenday.aspx?wealocations=wc:USCA0982&q=San+Diego%2c+CA+forecast:tenday ....
Oh yeah, on Saturday after ASR, Britt and I are going to go up to Newport to shred with Carney, Zac and them so that'll be fun.
Welp that's it.
Look for some daily updates from my Cali trip

some photos
So this week is the start of the mid term already. I'm going to be growing white hair before I know it. Anyways this week was okay, it had its big ups and downs, skated Monday after school then did night school, got a lot of work done, drank 3 1/2 Red Bulls one night, didn't stop talking for an hour, mom got sick and was in the hospital for 3 days, she's all good now tho and I skated all day Saturday and shot some photos!

This is David Chambers, never heard of him until I went skating in Phx with Derrick and Marcus and we met up with Eric, Dan, and some other guys and he was with. He did a nice frontside flip over this rail.

Josh, back 50-50. Met this guy a couple weeks ago when I was skating in Phx with Derrick, Marcus, Dan and Eric. He shreds.

Gustavo, ollie. If any of you've been to ice house ledge in downtown phx then you've probably seen this before. Kia was having some show thing to display the Kia "soul" so the building called ice house was open. Ice House is rave venue by the way. Anyways Gustavo talked the security guard working the thing into letting him skate it so he ollied over the rail. I got to test drive the Kia Soul to, dope car.

Sweep is gay
So there's this thing they do at my school called "sweep" and if your late to first hour, like if your not in your class the second the bell rings a security guard will send you to the cafeteria for you to sit and do nothing for the whole period, its one of the worst things ever because all you want to do is sleep but you can't. I went once last year and decided its much better just to go back home until 2nd hour, because sweep is an unexcused absent anyways. So today my sister wakes me up at like 7:15 and there's no way I could of picked Matt up then got to school in ten minutes, so now I'm home and I guess I'll give you a little update.
I got my new car last Sunday, its dope, I <3 it. Haha. Last week was pretty boring, I really didn't do jack, but I started night school, and it wasn't even that bad, and I have friends in my class so its cool I guess. Pretty much the highlight of the week was there was a KKSM demo in Payson, and Carney and Chris came to town for it. We shreded the KKSM warehouse Friday night, shot photos and stuff, real fun. Then Saturday was the demo, we spent pretty much the whole day in Payson. Caleb, Barbie, Tyler and I drove up there for it, it was pretty sick. Sunday I went skating with Marcus, Matt, Tommy, Tony and Simon. We went to the bump over hydrant gap thing and a hand rail, shot photos and got footy, it was a pretty good day.
Anyways that's all really that went down, sucky update, my brain isn't really working yet so most of this is blah type haha.
PHOTOZZZZ

Shot this last Sunday. Derrick, Switch backside nosegrind.

Matty B, 50-50. This hubba is so hard to skate, I don't understand how people do it.

Carney is a beast, this is just a regular stalfish but he did so many gnarly tricks on this quarter pipe, Carney will shred your face off.

Marcus Carr, frontside flip.

Tony Christopher, yes the kid from the woodward show. He's lived in AZ for almost two years now I think, he's a beast.

Tony, back smith.
It was so hard to start skating this, it wasn't because the ground or anything but it was these little turds who kept on running around, so annoying!
Welp, that's all for now.
