These were taken by White Scotty over at Johnny/Gavins house with Mike Thompson's camera. Myself, Johnny, Colin, Josh, and White Scotty built this insale quarterpipe/wallride and these are the photos of me hitting it.
Deff was a fun night. (had super jelloyyy legs)

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!

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...

1st try's

Taken By: Scott Pense
I was at woodside high trying a F/S Nose Grind and this was taken on the first roll up.

I landed it about 6 tries later and scott got a decent photo too that's somewhere in the archives.

Both Digital

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....

few skate flicks...

Stair set I ollied in 07. Photo taken by Mike Lao with my old Canon.

The aftermath of the attempt. Cut up hand and sore feet.
Took me about 5 tries and a 4 good slams...

Nikki Gaston...

By far one of the Gnarliest guys I've ever met. Take him anywhere and he will destroy a spot. This photo was taken when Red Morton was putting up they're new field. We found some wood and placed it on the grass on the other side of this fence. He asked me to hop it and get low for a photo of him jumping the fence off the big bank. It seriously only took him like 6 tries and I have all the kickout photos to prove it.

This crappy scan doesn't do it justice but it's the best I could get up.
Taken sometime at the end of 2006 with a Canon film camera...
