Travis Shevchuk got a VX1 a couple of years ago. However, he never really used it. So here we have a clip of him going out with his buddies over the last year. The filming isn't so bad, the tricks are there. The boy sure can spread them stems on a kickflip.

i came across this and was pretty pumped on it. i wasn't present at this little party, and only casually know these dudes. so i'm not even sure what's going on. good use of male nudity though.

Brooks Game of S.K.A.T.E.

2009-08-23T18:08:00.000-07:00

Jim Brooks wins todays game of SKATE.

lots of games went long as result of ripping. that's good.....

at the onset of the day i had my money on Aaron Rochula with Dom as the darkhorse.
Aaron is always consistent with every heelflip variation..... he'll seriously rock you.
Dom has a bunch of tricks that really just weren't working today. He got taken out by Peter Diehl who started strong but flattened out. dude pops his tricks nice and tuff.
Silent John took out last years winner in the first round. yet he still owns me 28 bucks for some wheels from last winter. nah mean?
the Brooks/Drew Vogan match was crazy good. i think Drew landed 3 tricks he'd never done before.
Eric Janda was lookin real good at the start. cleaned up a lot of his tricks.
Jimmy was of course showing well, as he always does.
Tyrone was stomping. Smithson was...kinda blowing it, but still made it far. i'm not sure if i'd rather see a Smithson/Tyron skate off, or a fight to submission.

but in the end, we had a three way battle between Rochula, Janda, and our winner, Jim Brooks.

Brandon Josey beat out Ringo for the youngbuck game. Brandon was ripping. proper bigspins and poppy f/sflips. honorable mentions go out to Logan and Schyler for the most youngbuck exciting game.

The Best tricker was rather polite actually. no snake session at all. nice one boys..... i poled the whole park to see who they thought won, and here were the notables.

Shams did a sexy noseblunt on the 6 foot QP.
Reiff did a handplant thing from the 6 to the bank.
Brooks switch heeled the stairs

smithson ollied from the bank to the 6 and feeble grinded to fakie. airwalked the pyramid to flat. did some lines with handrails tricks and blunts on the QP.

Tyrone kickflip front boarded the rail and did the ol' benniehanna to flat.

Boner landed the most stuff including an ollie from bank to bank over the handrail. got that? some stupid stuff from pyramid to flat. handrail blah-d-blahs.

as i was i announcing that the park consensus resulted smithson with a bunch of votes and a tie between Tyrone and Boner with the most; Smithson came blazing by me and double airwalked the pyramid to flat. that's ma' boy!
i was done after that.

thanks to the judges who help me a bunch. Joey Grice, Big Al, Patrick, Sean and fredskate ledgend Matt Mirablie.

Sticky Icky is outski and up for sale at the skate shopski.

come and get one.

thanks to everybody who came out to support the opening. The CRRL was nice and packed out, although i was kinda hoping it'd be a little more uncomfortable in the room (i'm sure everybody disagrees with me there). eitherway, Zeph set the wheels in motion with a sneek peek at his new movie entitled The Lizard and The Wisard. looks strangely delightful. we also got ahold of the new United By Fate video, as well as, some free gunk to giveaway from Globe Shoes. everything went so smooth it was like it didn't happen. the torrential downpour immediately following was pretty awesome too. thanks to Mrs. Mann and Craig from FAA who made everything run smoothly.

the following night, however; totally different story. i was pretty bummed. the one dude who has something to do with the place had a problem with the show that was booked, so he went out of his way to make the experience awkward. we basically showed the video and left, which was not the plan. buuuut, thanks to David Allen for coming into the shop and asking us to show the video there anyway. that dude is still cool. oh, and i guess one of the servers is bummed because he got stiffed on some tips from dudes who ordered cheese fries. you have to tip kids!!! thanks to Neil for the snaps, Bredren Sound for everything, and Forensics for shredding.

Clarkson broke his arm playing soccer
Reiff was given the name "dollar bill" from this one dude

Ben will have the feel good part of the year

no shame

2009-02-10T04:37:00.000-08:00

these are from October. Reiff and Smithers thought they were going to a costume party, but In a classic turn of events, they soon found out that they were the only two people that thought that. However, these two are the best dudes to handle that situation. Reiff doesn't need a reason to wear a dipper in fact he's quite comfortable. probably his 3rd time in '08 with one on. Smtihers just shucked it all and finished out the night naked.

here Reiff demonstrates his down for lifeness

Battlefield Brookspark

2009-01-26T09:36:00.000-08:00

Under the new Park Authority Regime, the overall conditions of Planet Brooks Park have vastly deteriorated. Recently, The condemned bowl was nuked into oblivion with extreme prejudice. Skatesoldiers have been repeatedly trapped within the Brooks Park compound only to be confronted by Galactic Police and issued warnings/tickets. Several parental units lodged complaints forcing the regime to allow for proper warning before closing the chamber doors.... Rather than peacefully complying with this reasonable treaty agreement, the park official confronted skatesoldiers and issued this statement, "You think you're so smart. and you may have won the battle but you have not won the war."

here is a clip of a FREDSKATES 1 under hostile pursuit and narrowly escaping the barrage of fire from the now infamous W.E.A.S.L. of Battlefield Brooks.

well i wanna do a throwback too....

2009-01-25T07:49:00.000-08:00

i like the idea of digging out old footy, so i did it too. Jim Brooks is one of my, all time, favorite dudes to skate with.... and film, for that matter. Jim does his tricks quick and can run his trick regiment at a spot he wants to skate. Lately, he's been busy working and being a dad; but when he makes it out to the park he still seems to have everything. This footy was shot from about 2000-2004 on hi-8 and digital-8. so some of it is pretty crusty and probably not decipherable.

Anti Gravity's...soft opening?

2009-01-19T07:41:00.000-08:00

My weekend started on Friday. Fidy relieved me of my duties at the shop nice and early. The car was packed full of boxes of griptape designs, supplies for Ben Lee's new apartment, and Smithson.

The A.G. squad was killing. Doug put down switch backheels on the six stair with ease. Charlie was landing everything he tried. Some other dude who's name i never got was capable of lazerflips every try. Cody was shredding. Jed was also "cruising". This means that he was only doing about three tricks a minute instead of ten. Other rippers would be Brad Bentz and his countless ledge/hubba/rail tricks. switch tail 270 out and bigspin out.... Kyle Falzone whom i hadn't seen since he was a little kid, grew up to be the all around ripper I would have guess him to be.

The Fred boys showed up and were all giggles. Clarkson was a bit tattered and trying to skate safe. His trick of the weekend would have been on the tall quarter pipe; he popped over the deathbox into a pivot stall and then popped back over the box to fakie. Reiff rolled in looking like the Muska sans ghettoblaster. He too was sliding across the ground in less than thirty seconds, but he settled in and was balsting airs to wall splats on the quarter-to wall-to bank. Then there was Ben; he found countless lines and did his Ben Lee thing all over the park. i can think of one thing in particular but he seemed to be pulling something every time i looked up..... well, if you know Ben you know he'll fall ridiculously hard for seemingly no reason and he did that a few times. I made it a point to remind him that i had to keep snatching his board from careening across the park. Fred local Drew Vogan was also present, yet weak from illness, and homie Ian was my buddy on the tight wall.

So I have to say thanks and take my hat off to Mr Bill. He's the owner and driving force behind the many stages of Anti Gravity. (i didn't even mention the transforming features this place has).

i took next to no pictures becasue i was skating and hanging all day....and i ran out of batteries.

this is a smidgen of the tight wall i was talking about

"Lane in Wonderland". this is my take on illustrating Alice in Wonderland. all the characters are people i know and backgrounds from photos i have (or bit off of). some of characters are from the book. think beyond the Disenyland movie and the retarded drug references. i'm not the most literary dude, but when it comes to books, I'm into the land of makebelieve. fiction. fantasy creatures. fairy tales. critters. buggers. whatever......

that goes for movies too. search out what Jan Svankmajer did with the story.

...and then, there's this:

2009-01-05T07:17:00.000-08:00

this one is for my friend Zac..... bares a similar likeness in both the physicals and mentals. i.e. the shnozz and the oddballsness. and i mean that in the most endearing way possible.

in the event that you're not familiar with me or the shop; i should probably say that this is on piece of griptape.
