Another night of skating.

With Dave and Jordan. Very fun, got some stuff on film, and shot a couple photos randomly... dead tired... tricities next weekend? stoked.

Night Skate

Night skatedwith Jordan in Tacoma. Seems like the best time to skate, and we worked hard. We're gonna do it again later this week, so stay tuned for more funzies.



















Oh yeah... and I came home to find my caterpillers had basically doubled in size... fatboys. compare with this photo.

Rest in Peace.

This is to commemorate Phoebe, aka. White Kitty. One of Brittany's cats passed today, but we were both there with her when she took her last breath, which we were thankful for. To lighten the mood, here is a semi-recent video clip. It's 9 minutes past my promised bedtime, but I'm off to bed, so I apologize Brittany. <3

White Kitty, we love you, rest in peace.

Sessionssss

After skating skatebarn this morning with fellow filmer Jake Knapp, I went to tacoma... couldn't find Dave, but met up with Tim, Brandon, and Michael.

Tim has apples and oranges boxers... which I'm going to find out where to purchase.









Brandon skated this big black rail...









and got to mark off a trick on his hit-list.

Hiers are Here

just got them today, and my boys will be growing up so fast... sigh

Friday.

worked, but it was good... lots of variation, and a lot of time at OPC, where you basically sit on a stool for hours and say hi to people as they come and go... which resulted in this drawing...



























Then went out to dinner with the family and girly. Skating the skatebarn tomorrow and maybe filming something for fun there. we shall see.

"Sorry We're Open" Premiere

Props to skatebarn for hosting, and for having kronik energy drink which I have been fiending for ever since I left spokane. Props to jake knapp for making an amazing video as usual, and props to everyone in it, you done made me proud. Video premieres are always the happiest nights, bromance and smiles.

off to the premiere with girlyfriend.










Raymond from minneapolis, Jordan, and Cory were there...









Andy Snyder and the misses...









Tim Henry is oh so neat.









The genius behind the video... Jake Knapp himself.
















Mr. Knapp and Mr. Waite... funzies.









It was good to see Gene again.









Group Photos are the best.









I also found this old book I made in like 1st grade... how fitting...

Stoked.

35th Ave South's video, "Sorry We're Open", premieres tonight. Photos and text to come later of the festivities.

Hustlin' Hustlin'

got stuck at I Street at work for an hour... meaning I stand at this podium and say hi to people and open doors for the 1 car that drives in every 10 minutes... due to boredom I found this interesting piece of paper in the binder on the podium and doodled on it... 10 seconds after I finished his speach bubble, he came walking around the corner and into the hospital... I was too shocked to call securitylskjafas...

Also, if you haven't seen the circa video... here's Dennis's part... I filmed two clips in it... but I'm not telling which ones. "oh. neat."

Oh.... not really that neat...

Haven't been doing much outside of work. Hanging out with the girly because it's too dark and I'm too tired to skate on the weekdays... but the weekends provide a day or two of skating

Been to a couple crazy parties...











Learned some new slang... wanksta?










Also skated with Dave today and digicammed it up.
Now go and make your fathers happy on their day.

In The Works...

a road trip is in the works for august.

FLATBAR BEN: yo, montana tour as part of the 2 week roadtrip in august?
FLATBAR BEN: me, you, sierra fellers, mark, anybody else
FLATBAR BEN: like the last 4 days or something
FLATBAR BEN: i wanna go eugene, portland, tri-cities, montana or something
FLATBAR BEN: well bed time for me, gotta work tomorrow morning, have a good night and i'll call ya tomorrow

Skunked Again.

heard word from Nicholas Kunz that there are two clips of Dennis Durant in the new Circa video, "It's Time", but that my name didn't make the additional filmers credits... son of a... howza nigga gonna get hiz name out dere Adam!!?? I guess your name didn't make the credits either, so oh well... Off to the shower with me.

Work.

worked as usual. 9 hours today, and 9 hours yesterday... but that means i'm only working 7 thursday, and 7 friday... so that is good. Nothing new for now... brittany came over, and I am extremely tired... that's the extent of my news... but check out this video from 303. It's really really good. Especially the white kid with the afro near the end...

also, if you've never been to popills, then you definitely should check it out. legit montages and camera work. Sadly I don't think their archives are available anymore, so you only get the less good, in my opinion, current montage on their page.

SUNday.

sunny day, skated with Dave, Jordan, Jake, and Matt, and eric for .5 seconds before he left for work. was fun... got a couple clips filmed on the side that will go into an online montage in a few weeks or somethin...

we ate subway...














and Jake and I filmed for apples and oranges, as you can tell...














we setup this ramp to desk...














and the filming began... look for footy later on.

Headed out to chill for the day.

if you think your life is screwed up, go here, it'll make you feel good about yours. new secrets posted every week. it's pretty fascinating.

today I went and spent the day in everett with my girlfriend... saw The Omen.... which was good in places, and corny/hilarious in places... especially when brittany screamed in the theater twice when scary/jumpy parts happened skljdfas;klfdhaha... then went to the mill creek skatepark where I whined cause I couldn't skate good, shoes I'd never skated before weren't gripping at all, and my board has razor nose and tail, and because of all the kids around making skateboarding into a popularity contest, droppin names and actin famous... sigh... anyways... here's some photos that don't come near to describing the fun.

oscar as usual wanted to come... nope... sorry...














traffic.













where's the apples taxi?










black kitty...














And since I have the greatest girlfriend ever, she got me this present... so i'm gonna be growin my own butterflies now... so hyped... oooooooweeeeeeee

Sigh.

work has taken away all life haha... wake up... sit... work... sit for an hour or two... sleep.... then do it all over again. weekends are my only freetime. well... on wednesday I either slept through my alarm or it didn't go off... and I missed skating with dave before work... so that sucked... today I worked a 9 hour shift... and tomorrow I'm apparently working a 10 hour shift... and no it doesn't count for overtime or time and a half because my hours don't total over 40 for the week... so that sucks... but I've fixed this suckage overload by making plans to go filming tomorrow evening after work. so. now it's time for a hot bath and then sleep... dead tired.

Miniramp Montage

As promised... filmed at Spirit Skate Shop, during my trip to Spokane. Ben Carden, Chris Malsam, and Nich Kunz shredding the gnar. Enjoi. AND YES it probly takes a while to load. Be Patient.

THE MONTAGE!!! (set to the soothing sounds of Gwen!!!)

ALSO... available on Youtube... here... with the sound off... weird... not my doing anyways

Back on the Coast

zzzzzzzzz... just finally got home from spokane, but I stopped in everett on the way home and got din din with my girlfriend and watched some television. The trip was really fun, and the couple leftover clips/full miniramp montage will be up in a few days or so. Apples and Oranges inches towards completion. But, for now... here's some photos from the excursion...

Oscar wanted to come... but he doesn't skate...


















On the road...

























My mouth then began to pour blood... but not really...















This is actually a lot harder to do than you'd think...

























Thankfully I made it to spokane and shared some food before Nich and Ben showed up...

























Gibson... and someone who had a rough night...














Rollin' deep














Me, Nich, Ben, and Greg drove to the middle of nowhere to skate...








These amazing flatbars.














Ben gave himself tattoos in the backseat. "COOKIE"

























And I got this horrid sticker out of a machine...














Ben, Leonard the rat, and Greg consuming liquid energy.














Trip essentials














Steve Sanchez owns many skateboards in his mini-ramp room














Tomatos are disgusting. Especially huge ones on semi-trucks.
