Friends New Polo Bike

So recently pat's swobo got destroyed and stuff.(hit and run)
So he had a spare frame/fork and set it up as a singlespeed with a rear brake for polo
He's photos of it. Pretty rad.
Only if I can get a decent frame to use now...

Tug Of War

Another video kelly sent me of Josh and Myself playing tug of war with a stick on our skateboards. Pretty fun to see how old this is

Krooked Grind

Old video kelly sent me that she filmed.
I wanna say I was a 10th grader in highschool when this was filmed.
Thanks Kelly!

Mmmmm...

A nice evening with Haley, Xavier, and Jessica

Soo legit.

Finally done!!!!

So last night was our B&W photo final at school. I helped all the students mat they're final prints and we all chatted it up, ate food, and had a grand old time. After all the students went home I talked to Jerry (my photo teacher whom I T.A. for) and he told me that I did a great job being his T.A. this semester and wants me back again for next semester. After hearing this I got so pumped! It made my whole evening. Not only that but I had time to make it down to Polo with all the homies.

I went and picked up Haley and the bikes. I had a slow leak in my front wheel so I pumped it up and it held for the rest of the night. We got there about an hour an a half after they started and by far there were so many people there. A lot of station heads who don't ride fixed but ride beefy ass MTB's were playing polo with us. It was legit! We had enough to play 5 on 5. So many crashes. So much bullshit. So much fun.
I made the 1st goal as well as the 2nd goal but we lost 3 to 5. It was super fun and next time the team i'm on will win. I also landed a bunch of 3 taps and slider 3 taps. I also landed a slider 3 tap wheelie into a 180 but it was super sketchy.

Also my frame has been cracking and my top tube is warped and cracked. So is my seat brake stay as well as other things. Rear wheel has a hop and is untrue, front wheel untrue, fork loose, BB axel slightly bent, cranks creaking, seat busted as fuck... left grip falling off FUCK!!! I need a Gorilla or a fucking Thrasher.
Enough ranting. I gotta get the photos from my bag up here to send to mike. I'll also take a few flicks of the dents in my frame too...

1st ever Quantum Trick comp.

This was a no-prize jam sess turned trick comp.
Henry Ho won the whole thing but then they had a game of Tarck (like skate or horse)
and myself, Dong Ho, and Robert Myers both whom are my homies.

QUANTUM: iMiNUSD Trick Session from iMiNUSD on Vimeo.

In the game of Tarck I took Robert out and had Dong Ho but he finally got me with a 900 keo to barspin. I did the 900 keo but did half a barspin...
So lame but it was fun either way

Quantum Trick Comp

So I posted photos and stuff but here's the vid. Taylor owns the who vid. I seriously landed the only two tricks in the video hahaha. Scott landed a few tricks too but that's it. We were pretty tired from just riding in Sunnyvale all the but here's the vid. I have a few tricks Scott has one. Tay own's the whole thing!

So lately I haven't been doing much but working up in the lab helping students print photos and print my own shit. I need to dev. some rolls bad. But x-mas has tied my funds pretty hard. I've also been tricking it up as much as I can even tho i've been sick. I recently helped Tyler D finish making his own polo sticks and Sean finally finished mine. So we've been having late night polo sessions in the parking garage which have been a blast.
Also the shitty la fucks played a show at the grind with Jon L. (Bird Surgeon) and Hammer Horror Classics (Jeremey's band) which was fun. Oh Sleepers with Matt C. and Jon S. also played an amazing set. Hopefully I can trek it out to Pacifica soon to practice with the guys. I need to write some shit out. Have so much stuff jammin through my mind. Fuck life needs to take a breather and slow down.... Or I just need to speed up...
Printed Josh a few photos since he's been really sick lately. I'm really pullin for him and I'm glad he's comming to Colins hang out tonight. I miss him and really wanna kick it with him. I'm also going to give Colin for his birthday a cool photo I printed of him and Ty riding for his present. He's also going to drink for the first time tonight so well see how that goes. I should snapp a roll off tonight too hahaha.
Well I guess I got out everything but yeah... Soon the semester will be over for a few weeks and I can get a little more organized and hopefully repair my bike a little more. It's been holding up alright for a while now. but yeah... I need to fully get my 3 taps, fakie sliders into 3 taps and hop bars.

Oh and fuck my right middle finger for getting jammed super hard while landing one last night with scott who is also back which is rad cause now I don't have to trick it up alone so much.

Fuck... I gotta get it off my chest...

Another B&W of Half Moon Bay 2007-2008

Confused...

This is a weird one. So I feel like I took a photo of this because I have multiples but I like this one the most. But I feel like I didn't take this exact photo. The Reason being if you look in the upper left hand corner of the photo. I think that's me standing on the other side of the vert wall. I have no clue who could have taken it too?
Any who... Andrew L. with a steezy one footer

new camera

taken with my Olmpus Trip 35 Rangefinder (2007)
that I found at a thrift store. This was the first roll I took and most of the photos were shit because I wasn't familiar with it but... This was my fav. photo from the roll.
Xaviers board and shoes...

Dublin

Photo my mom took?
2 years ago on 4th of July my family went to visit our old fam. friends in the east bay in Dublin (yeah middle of shit no where)

Ryan Plate
(The Sheriff, Meat Men, Meat Hulk, Guapo whatever the fuck you want to call him)

Was taken at Red Morton when Ryan and his girl friend just got a new dog. His name was Cedric. By far the most beautiful dog i've ever seen. But that photo will be saved for another post of for the portfolio because it is by far one of my most fav. photos.

Timbo...

Here's a photo of Timmy D. and Chris M. out in P.A. at Lytton Plaza.

That day Timmy, Myself, Ralph, Jam and Louie? and one other kid were in downtown P.A. and ran into a guy giving out free disposable cameras. So we drove around late one night taking photos of each other up close and personal blinding each other with the flashes. This is one outside Pizza My heart and Timbo's playing with a knife or something. Always dug this photo

w a k i n g u p . . .

I woke up one morning in 2007 at my friend Chris Whiteside's house.
It was super early as I woke up to sunlight showering through his front room windows.
I had my camera on the floor next to me and took this photo of a vase and some flowers.

Dirty Nasty Scummy As Fuck Puddles...

About a month ago myself, Scott, Sean, and Mike (L.C.W.) went to SF and were hitting up spots. As we headed back to cal-train we decided to hit up a old skate ditch a few blocks away from 4th&King. There was a small section of water that I wanted to ride my bike over along the side of this bank in the ditch. It was about 30ft of water and I had a good amount of run up too. So I decided to go for it

This was the end result. A splash, a mess, and a "FUCK!!!!"
I was about 5ft from the end when I slid sideways down the bank into the nasty fecal infested scum water that was below me. After semi drying off we made a bank right next to the ditch and this was the photo Scott snapped right before we mashed it back to the train station.

You can see the dirt and scum on my bike, pants, and arms.

I took 2nd place in the Trick Comp. lucky for me there were only 5 people that entered and I still shouldn't have taken 2nd place in my opinion...
Legit prizes from Volume/Demolition Fixation

Double Nicks

Old photos... Jan 2007

Nikki Gaston B/S 5-0 to Fakie into the steep wooden bank they layed against the ledge.
I don't even know how he did this...
You could barely ride up the damn bank with out it moving and almost falling over.
He's a true champ though...


The same day the above photo was taken I got a picture of Nick from San Mateo doing a super shifty ollie across the three stair. Also a tad fuzzy due to the scanner. God I wish I could just show everyone all the actual prints....

books and friends

First few photos I shot with my Olympus Range Finder
Super out of focus and the scanner just made them look worse...
All were inside Barns And Noble where both Josh and Bradley once worked.
The One of Bradley is a double exposure from the film not being wound properly.
