Oh yeah that riiiiiiighhttt, I have a blooooogg! Forgot about it there for a sec. I mean a week. I mean a month. Haaaaahaa wellll shoooot I guess ill start off this one with a laugh. Watch me eat shit:

Ow. As stupid as this trick is, I did end up landing it like 56th try an hour later. Welcome to my life.


Soooooo lets see here. I got a lot to share this time around, especially because it's been a month since I've updated this blog with my recent accomplishments. First off, a few months ago I went out skating with a few friends including an awesome filmer named Wil Douglas and an awesome photographer named Sawyer Purman. I just recently received the footage from part of this mission on a natural quarterpipe in bellevue, so I got this idea in my head to make something called a "photo pheature". Turned out pretty cool!

Also in the skateboarding realm, there was a contest at the Bellevue Skatepark that I blew it in two weekends ago. For some reason I was taking way more slams than usual. In one of the many bails that I took, I fell into the back of someones knees causing them to fall on top of me, as another dude slipped out and shot his board into my teeth causing a world of hurt and a huge split in my lip. It was brrrrruuuuutaaall I was bleeding 'erwher. I got a few clips in the beginning of this one check it:

The dude that won the indoor portion of this contest was Cory McCowin, the same dude who won the zumiez best foot forward contest that I blogged about in my last entry. This dude killed it. The guy who won the outdoor part was Chris Jameson, who skated for skatebarn with me back in the day when it was open. In this clip fellow nomadic rider by the name of Jordan Dunlap stuck a smithflip. That was soooo dope! Besides how wrecked I got, It was a pretty fun event. Everybody got Chipotle burritos!

That's pretty much all the Skateboarding news this time around. On the artistic side of things, I've completed a few more "boards i dot" that I've skated and created and destroyed. They look like this.

"Overlookingaweprovoction"

I've never really done a sunburst in this fashion before so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm selling this for 40 bucks here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/103768318/overlookingaweprovocation

 "DuuuuuuhDum"

This one was actually a commission piece I did for a really cool skatemom. 

 "Golden"

This ones also a commission piece for a auction that UPS is running. More info coming soon :)

"Starry Night"

Birthday board for my buddy Jeremy that I promised him hella long ago.

On the more technical tip, I put in a few more hours on the Muk model. Check it out!

I'm still trying to coordinate a time that I can get the film crew from Altrac Productions to come to the Muk to film a whole bunch of interviews that we can chop up for a promo video to help fund a roof over this wonderful skatepark. We're probably going to be filming at the subway games here at the Muk on the 28th of this month, so come on out and enjoy some awesome skating and hot dogs, its only 20 minutes away from downtown Seattle! :)
