Picking Mangos with Danny Chambers
Eating the most mangoes I've ever eaten in my entire life
Discovering what the Hawaiian Slang term Choke meant while choking on a mango
I turned into a sea creature.
Wrote an article for NYskateboarding.com about Nimbus Skates.
Interested to see how it comes out.
shooting a skate ad for IN4MATION with John Hook
Basically, I eyed a tree stump hump for like 6 months always imagining to blast an ollie off it.
I did it one day with wifey Marisa watching.
I called my favorite photographer John Hook to find him stoked to take the shot.
we met out there at 8am on Sunday Morning and got the first shot which I pitched to Jun of IN4MATION. He was stoked on it Jun gave me a bunch of shirts and we went back and shot my first skate ad with me in it for first time in all my 32 years of skateboarding.
The other photo is a sneak peak of the ad I have yet to see.
The only bummer is that I bought the Gonz deck to do the ollie and I was skating in my neighborhood yesterday and cracked it. In all my 30+ years of skateboarding, I have only cracked one deck and that was a Kelly Rosecrans. I am in the process of requesting a replacement from the shop. Wish me luck.
I spent my hard earned cash and paid full price for that deck.
Thats it for now.
