Toms Wedding

One of my very best friends got married in Crested Butte,CO lat weekend (this is where we used to all live)..it turned out to be the funnest weekend of the summer next to TWO NINE..This is probably the last time all the old boys will be together in Crested Butte....this is where we all learned how to shred and ride sleds together.....here is a photo journal of the mayhem...
Moriah and I drove out from SLC...I took a couple photos on the way...this is the Utah Desert

I dont know what we were pointing at...it just seemed cooler than just standing there

So, I found this skatespot at this gas station near Moab Utah a long time ago....I have always wanted to skate it but the gas station was always open and i figured i would just get kicked out....this time we stopped and the gas station was closed for good...I was stoked....I swept a shitload of pebbles away with my foot and broke out the video camera for some Berzerkers footy...Moriah took all these photos with my little camera...she did a really good job....
The first move of the day had to be a feeble pop out...I forget to say that it was 110 degrees outside.

I then got a smith pop out.

I then got another magic move but i thought this photo was cooler ....this gas station was an amazing spot...I cant wait to go back

We made it just in time for there wedding shower....Tom is the one on the far right....all these dudes are amazing.

After the shower we ended up at the best dive bar in the USA.....this is where i went on my 21st...its amazing.

Moriah ordered us some tombstones from the bartender...

the next morning we awoke hungover...here are some photos...before the wedding

We got in a quick skate session while the kids played frisby in the deepend....little fuckers...here is Bryn...
And then i had time to give Judd some tatts...this kid is freakin rad....the tattoo says DEATH....thats hardcore.
Here are Tom and Beau boozin before the wedding....Beau is a fucking amazing skateboarder...he just moved to Sac

Then Beau and I woke up on Toms couch super hungover and began walking the hangover off....the morning was misty and these photos came out awesome.


On the way up to the ceremony we stopped by Toms backcoutry snowboard camp called Booter Camp...here is one of the many features.

Then we got our wedding attire on....the whole story behind this wedding is riding four wheelers and dirtbikes.

Here is beautiful Amaryliss Kelly....she rode her dirtbike to the isle to get married....she wore these boots the whole time...
Mike Kelly (left) was the minister....here is Mike and Tom waiting for Amaryliss to ride up

This photo says it all....amazing!
This is what i stepped in while taking wedding photos...it was not awesome

Then we rode in the back of a truck to the reception which was outside....this is backstreet pete....he such a rad dude...

At the recpeption this drunk dude who was at least 50 with a mohawk showed up....eventually Tom through him out.
This is another one of my amazing friends....Hutson hawk....if you look close there is a hawk flying in the sky above him. Acutally...I dont think you can see it....the photo is too small

During the whole reception this rainbow was hanging out..

Then we shot off fireworks

Then we went to a party at this cool Metal shop

And Moriah rode around on a crane.

There were cooler hammers there.

The next day i found these old license plates to take a photo of.
Danielle got into town (she was at another wedding) we hung out for a while and began the drive back to Utah.....this trip was soooo fun and it was great to hang out with my other group of friends....I wish weekends like this would happen more often

We stopped on the way home for one more photo.....look at the clouds in the background.....

Im so glad its not snowing!

Now that i have finally been able to enjoy being home we have been getting into what we do best....skating in the day and partying in the night (im kind of lying, ive been working my ass off doing man work too...I just tiled Jims fucking house, it was a bitch and now im working all day long on the K2 Team Vid)....soo back to the story....after work...we have been skating a ton and partying...to make a long story short...its been super fun!!!1st stop...9th and 9th, this park i hated at first cause all the trannies are jacked but it ended up being a really fun place to get ur hesh on....Here Pat is doing a fs rock...my camera sucks for action shots as you will see more in the this blog
We then went and skated at JP Walkers house with Jordan....Jp has one of the best mini's ever in his back yard....AMAZING...its top 3 back yard ramps ive ever skated...Gordon's in Waldorf will always be my favorite though.

Pat got a couple flips of the board to fakieI was happy with my latest stencil job, its not Brenden Ash griptape but its looking good to me.

I can do fs 5-0s for hours on this ramp...its feels so damn good.
Pat..
Jordan got some fs ollies....he fucking rips on a skateboard as well as snowboarding for a living....I wish he could skate with us more.





We also have been going to this outdoor concert thing every thursday night....We throw a backpack full of beer over the fence....Beer makes everything more fun!!..Branden and Amy decide that photos are better if you shake the shit out of ur head..
Erin and Jacqui were shaking theirs like crazy....haha..
This is Jim...He lived in Aspen for years and now Park City....this might explain why he is drinking beer out of a 8oz wine cup....some might call this gay....I call it living in Aspen and then Park City...
Jacqui was trying to take a picture of drunk ass Doyon doing a handstand...I was trying to take a picture of Jacqui taking a picture of Doyon. Art Fag sums it up.


No Caption Needed...
I ran into my new friend Amy at the bar....she lives in Carlsbad and i met her when we were down there editing..For some reason she was in SLC and was randomly watching Doyon snort shots...I dont really know this technique but i guess it must get you drunk a little faster......such a fun night.

Holy shit....this is gonna win an emmy

30-3

The Orioles lost 30-3 tonight...this is the worst loss in over a hundred years....are you kidding?? How come this shit happens to teams that i like.....here is the news story:

"Things started off well for the O's. Baltimore had a three-run lead by the third inning, but starter Daniel Cabrera and the bullpen surrendered 30 unanswered runs. The Rangers put up crooked numbers in the fourth, sixth, eighth and ninth as the Orioles, victims of the worst defeat in club history, were left to sit back and wait for the nightcap to Wednesday's doubleheader."

Power Ballad at its Finest

This might be the best music video i have ever seen....I thought it was Damn Yankees at first..

I love summer

Now that im FINALLY back home i got a chance to catch up with the friends for a little session on Sterbo and I's newly updated mini ramp....when this thing was in my garage it was 16ft wide and no extensions...now its 20ft wide with all kinds of stuff going on...
Branden got nasty fs rocks right off the bat....This bank is anything but easy to skate...
Sterbo, rock fakie....
I was debating whether or not to even put this photo on here....there is no deck so 5050ing this thing is scary as shit....i need to be standing on top of it...I know.!
This is what our lives are coming too....electronic control.
It was fucking hot...
Rockford took a time out to skate some flat ground.
I then drank some of my 100 ounces of coke.....this is the reason why so many Americans are fat...this is the biggest mug i have ever seen...there is NO need for this....Mazzola would have loved to have this mug back in '97 when he was drinking 2 double gulps a day....thats 128 ounces
Then we jumped on bikes and when downtown to start boozing...we ended up at this hippie concert...I tried to take photos of all the stupid hippies but it was too dark..Today ruled...I love summer.

Runkes Wedding.

We headed out to Seattle for my friend Ryan Runkes wedding...for those of you that dont know Ryan. He loves to booze...knowing this we thought we better take a cab to this one.
Runke was boozing by the time we got there.
After the ceremony some kids got busy on the dance floor.


Then some old timers got busy on the dance floor....he didnt like me taking photos.
Then the boozing fully started...Mckay and Tedore early in the long night.
Cory and Jessie were having a romantic experience of their own
Cory and Java were not. They were just boozin...believe it or not...Java was the minister of the wedding.
This is all i saw all night long. I dont even remember when i took this photo or at which bar.
As the night when on the photos kept getting better....Marius is looking pyscho.
Even the girls were saucing. I love photos that are not staged...so much better...Danielle is looking hot right here....everyone looked beautiful this night....she was looking gorgeous however.
Tedore was having fun of his own.....I wonder what he was taking photos of?
This is my last memory of the night. The pioneer square hot dog man. sooooo good, i think???
The next day we were really slow moving...we stood here talking forever....I wish i could tell you what Cami was thinking about in this photo but i dont think it is appropriate.
We also saw the Blue Angels flying above.
We walking around forever looking for a TV to watch our new snowboard film on, we couldnt find one for a while....McKay had a quick second to pose for a photo.

We found a place to watch it and Runke and Java signed their marriage certificate....didnt i tell you it was a gay wedding?

Airports= Good People Watching

I watched these two gentleman talk for about a half hour...I was trying to figure out what they were talking about and i couldnt. This shot was taken in the airport in Kansas City. I imagine they have the most different lifestyle possible than i do. They seemed to be good friends with one another.

One Last Session

I drove downtown the other day for one last session before coming back out west...I got caught in some bitch ass traffic right before the pentagon...this is totally normal and i used to be able to deal with it....if you look close you can see right where the plane and not the missle hit the pentagon.

After getting chased off of freedom plaza one last time i walked back up there a snapped a couple shots...This is my favorite skate spot in the world since LOVE park is gone..I cant wait to go back and get chased out again.

Concentration Camp USA

This is where i went to high school before getting the boot....this was the most unhealthy learning environment possible...we were treated like prisoners. I really dont think i have any positve memories from this shit hole....actual...I saw a couple of really good fights.
