Visit from Waldo!!

Woke up early to meet Waldo out in Phoenix to skate for a few days

Beat the sun up by about 2 hours!

Waldo and I had the plan of him doing a trick up high and me going over him, but we're not that good, and we're getting older, so we did this goofy version of him just rolling up and me going over him, which was a lot easier :)

Skated this spot on the beach at sunset in Long Beach once we were back 

Epic throw down

Headed to Encinitas on Sunday for a little shred. Jordan came with us and lofted some kick flips :)

Got in a bike ride at sunset also

Queen Mary in it's glory!

Boston area

Went to Boston area (a little west of there) for work for a week, so stayed out for an extra few days to skate with an old friend. Bummed to miss autumn, but it awesome begin around so much green!

Kevin, snapping into the blue skies

 

We had some beers/I had some beers

Skated this awesome bowl at a shop in Boston

Got a good pic from Mel with Oscar 

During the week with work, this was the closest skatepark to me. Not that great...

... 

 

But, the scenery here is incredible!

Drinks with Kev and coworkers :)

 

More skating with Kev. He's a feeble maniac

Kev and I got into posing some tricks on this rail that is impossible to actually skate...

Push-feeble

 

Darksliding into the future

Just making a call real quick

Projects recently

Worked on these guys a few months ago for some presents :) pretty pumped how this walnut looked!

Made some lino-cut prints, with added watercolor paint, of a corner grind in the Vans bowl  

Been some more shark sightings at a few beaches near us. Not that cool to see these signs, but realistically, sharks are always out there :)

When I bought the wood for the cutting boards above,  I bought an 8-foot long, 2 inch thick board of it, so I had a lot to work with. I split the 2-inch piece into 2 1-inch pieces, and made this table. I match booked the pieces, meaning, after cutting the 2 1-inch thick pieces, I glued them side by side with one of their common sides touching, so it looks mirrored down the middle. Pumped how this came out. And we just bought the legs online cuz I can't weld :)

Like how this looks

Kind of a smiley face in here :)

Cool guys pic :)
