Slayer Montage Mt.

Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants

Dustin invited Gary, Mike , Phill, and I to go see Slayer at Montage yesterday. We couldn't have hoped for better timing, we walked in 10 minutes before they took stage. The weather could have been better but the slight drizzle created a creepy feel that was perfect.

Thanks to Adam at Skullcandy Headphones for the hook up and Dustin's skate skills.

Ready to rock. Don't worry, I borrowed a black tee.

Guess we're here.

Dustin tried to see how far his pass would get him. This gate was not involved.

LickMyBallins was covering it

Reign in Blood

fire,man.

Thanks again Dustin, and Adam at SkullCandy Headphones

Take a Stance. Right Foot Forward edition

On Saturday, before you head over to the 'Fest, stop by Homebase for the premier of the new Transworld video Right Foot Forward. 8pm. $2 Admission. BYOB for all you adults.

In honor of the event, Here is a Right Foot Forward edition of Take a Stance, to help point out some of our more underground rippers and their proper stance, you know, just incase they pass and get swapped from their proper team postmortem.

Lupe Fiasco , Right Foot Forward.


Zack Efferon, Right Foot Forward.
I almost ignored him because of THIS picture alone, but he is clearly pushing proppa.


(The 2 headed ) Sport Girl , Right Foot Forward.


PEOPLE THAT DONT SKATE BUT WILL STILL TRY TO CASH IN WHEN THEY CASH OUT

This Guy DOES NOT skate. He didn't even used to skate. It must be some weird principal trophy.
Why would you hold your board like that? What are you showing me? Griptape? Kook.

The Youth Is Getting Restless

The Valley has been Jumpin this weekend. From Skateboarding, rafting trips, to birthdays, hill bombings, and out of town guests.
The crew from Kuato Lives 2084 was in town ( What Up Guys!) but with my schedule we only passed briefly at Keck. I know the Crew kept them busy and aside from some minor car problems( like misplacing the keys) I hear they got a good view of the Valley. Check THE USUAL SUSPECTS for all the details of that trip


Sunday I headed over to Bethlehem to get some flicks for the LVAN site and a taco from La Lupita. I say taco, but if you know how to handle it you get two out of one.


We stopped by a school to warm up and it took about 3 minutes for Kyle to spot this porch gap over the bench and exactly 3 tries to ollie it.
Get to NO, Kyle Dalrymple. CLICK HERE FOR FULL SIZE


The support wagon stopped by to check on us


We drove to a never been done flat gap, and once again, Kyle in 3 tries.
Full Gnar Here.


He hucked a 3flip to the lot and broke a deck, I'll keep my eyes out for the make. The youth is truly restless.

Madonna's son is REGULAR, her babysitter DOESN'T SKATE


Aston Kutcher is REGULAR, Cameron Diaz DOESN'T SKATE


ANIMAL SECTION

This parrot is annoying, I need to see him push for a honest answer, then again it would probably be MONGO anyway.

PEOPLE THAT DON'T SKATE BUT WILL TRY TO CASH IN WHEN THEY CASH OUT

Linda Hogan, DOESN'T SKATE


Coco, DOESN'T SKATE. I'm still checkin on ICE, I'm sure he skates.

New Shoes Cure The Blues..

Flops Of July

Flops were the look of the day, but the Guys kept a spot for me on the grill so who was I to notice we weren't at the beach?



Gary-smart ass comment, Phil-Frozen in disbelief, Colbert-Lovin every minute of it.



Butta


Essie was there


Phils patio had a better view then even Phil knew. Val brought the ice cream and cookies and it was on.

Who you tryin to get crazy with, Essie?

I would like to welcome Essie to NonoBlog.
