End of Year DIY

Almost a year ago, we ventured out to the train tracks in Slo to find this spot. This was supposed to be our first real post but things didn't work out. Well here is what we got.

Izaiah unfortunatley was the only one we shot a photo of who actually worked on the spot.

Apparently the Fire Station gave word to the Union Pacific cops about the spot. The cop already had a sledgehammer ready.

One of the cops actually looked at the ledge and said it looked nicer than anything at Slo park. Way to go guys.

We took the coping and now it's at a new spot.

Thanks to Tim, Bill, Mikey, Tosh and everyone else who helped out at the spot.

End of Year Blow Out

With the year heading to an end, we decided to post some of the pictures that for one reason or another, never made it up on the site...until now.


Matt Harrington - Roast Beef Grab

Kory Kroll did land this wall ride to fakie, but not to his liking so we were hesitant to put it up.

Another view

I've been holding on to this one for almost six months. We really blew it not putting this one up earlier.

Damage Inc. Part 3

The final part of Damage Inc. is now up. I used a live track of "Bonzo Goes to Bitsburg" by The Ramones because Youtube didn't let me use the studio version. There are two other Newsense videos left, lets hope I can get a hold of them from somebody and put them up!

Newsense: Damage Inc. Part 2

Okay, now that the elections are over, we can go back to our regularly scheduled programing. Part 2 of Damage Inc. Features Some old Los Osos park footage, as well as the Wood Morro Bay Park. You can even catch some CL Smith tricks in there too. I don't see many people doing noseslide 360 shove-its on the whole CL ledge. How about full cab back lip on a box? Half cab bluntslides anybody?

Blue Man Victorious

Thanks to everyone who voted in the Thrasher contest. As some of you probably know Blue Man is indeed this fellow.

Vote for Jazz Push

And the mystery blue guy is...

Not John Gutierrez but you should vote for him at http://www.thrashermagazine.com/ for the best costume contest. If we win, we will give a prize to whoever correctly guesses who this is. Remember, you're not just voting for skateboarding, you're voting for America dammit!

I'm Blue Man and I approve this message!

Samhain

Happy 10/31 sucka! Any guesses on who this is?

Newsense: Damage Inc. Part 1

Newsense was a local skate company/crew from Los Osos created by Kris and Kory Kroll. They made boards, shirts, stickers and skate videos. It's not like these videos are from the 80's or anything, but it seems impossible to find any kind of documentation of skatboarding in this area that's from the pre youtube generation. Luckily, I had a copy of this video laying around and finally got it uploaded. Part 1 includes the Infamous Ki Crumpton Slo High boardslide as well as some classic old Los Osos park footage.

The video is a little too artsy for me but anything with John Lucas or Ki Crumpton in it is worth a watch.

Resurrection

As you probably noticed, Cayucos park has received quite a face lift over the last couple months. We decided last week to check out the park and got some photos in the process.
Cory Jones was at the Go Skate Day Contest earlier this year and got third with a frontside bigspin down train station. What I didn't know was that Cory has no problem skating whatever is in front of him.
