I don't do many Interviews but when someone as cool as Michele from Backside Magazine asked I couldn't say no........ When I DM'ed you about this interview, you mentioned that you do not normally do stuff like this. Why not? I've always just been a behind-the-scenes type of guy. I've been in the industry for about 25 years at this point and done just about every job you can think of, but unless you're sponsored, a pro skateboarder, or even a high-end filmer or photographer (w

I was doing relatively well. I mean, this hill was no joke—extremely steep, rutted out, and laced with wet cow poo. I made it though… and I only had to walk my bike twice. Definitely not in shape, that’s a fact, but maybe this insane patch of rolling steeps will put me somewhere near my goal before I attempt Yosemite again. Let’s hope, because if I’m in this type of shape in August, I feel the same thing will happen again, and one near-death experience is enough for me. "my w

The Year Of Living Dangerously: UC Berkeley Outtakes

Our favorite test pilot Jesse Boudreau takes the first runs on the freshly pressed Prime deck at the world famous Man Ramon Skatepark

Starting up 11:11 Manufacturing has been time-consuming, to say the least. So much so that I had little time to skate, film, or take foto's in 2022. I was chained to my office chair like a modern-day serf barely coming up for air much less partaking in the pursuit that spawned this distribution's life. However, I managed to crawl out into the light about 5 or 6 times in 22' and it was always to skate the Treasure Island track. I love this current rendition Josh and his crew

Joe Fong Rip Rides Underneath The Infamous Thrasher Gutter I was extremely fortunate to have an empty pool up the street from my house right at the start of my skateboard journey, I believe it was emptied it in 1976 or 77? While the Dogtown boys get credit for being pool pioneers us Nor Cal heads were at the forefront as well, we just didn’t have a mag yet to show the world our skills. That’s kinda why I bring this up, Ironically the pool was located in a spot by the name of

The Thrasher Scans, V4: The Sequences 8 frames a second if you were lucky! Mostly on tmax 3200 as well so you know that grain was sweet! Compared to the gear we have now the 90's seemed like the stone age but hot damn if there isn't a certain beauty to the good ol' days The Infamous Thrasher Park: 2004 One of the first empty pools in Nor Cal was located here. I tore my ACL at the first wooden skatepark they built here. Phil was the first to ollie the fence out of the bowl he

Corey has always been one of my favorite people to point my camera at and the very reason the Thrasher Scan series exists. I promised him for years I would find that damn doubles photo of him and Wade Speyer ollieing a set in Man Ramon and I finally had a free weekend to do the deep dive. The CD drive arrived on Friday and by Sunday I located the image and while this may seem like a tall tale, I went through almost 100 discs and I swear the photo was found on the 2nd to las

Sweeping Up The Fresh Coping For The Pending Disaster * Well at least I think it's the world's oldest backyard pool that is still currently skated. First reports from the homey Rodney Rodrigues pinpoint the Reed brothers skating it in September 1973! I figured my old friend Bill Ackerman may know so i headed to Bills Wheel's and chopped it up a bit with ol' Bill....... He claims his first roll in the year of our centennial (1976) when the Dogtown stories were taking over s
