Last Call

You've probably seen it already but I had to post it. That noseblunt at Slo High was insane.

Spending time at Marina Park.

Next week we will begin our end of year blowout...maybe.

Another Year - Cody Ages and Credits

Well this is it. Cody got enders and it was well deserved. I think even as good as this part was, it didn't give justice to how good Cody really is. I used to go skate those baywood ledges and when I would roll up, 9 out of 10 times, Cody would be there by himself skating. I remember seeing him do tailslide 270 first try when he was still warming up. I'm not sure about Cody's whereabouts today, but Baywood has suffered in his absence.

Thanks to Kory Kroll and everybody in this video. This was one of my favorite videos growing up and there will be more to come soon!

Another Year - Salmon, Woody, and Maverick

So this is the last montage of the video. There's only one part after this and it's quite the closer. 

Mike Salmon was one of those kids who's goal in life was to piss everybody off, but in the most awesome way possible. I remember one of his friends had his tail on a ramp getting ready to drop in and Mike pushed him off the ramp because he was taking too long. He would go through all of his skate magazines and tear up Gonz photos in front of me because he knew it was my favorite skater. Things like this would piss you off but for some reason you couldn't help but like the guy.

Woody was just the man. Wu Tang shirts, huge switch crooks, and always antics. Mike ran over his foot once because Woody requested it. The dude was just a character and of course, super good at skating.

Maverick's skating is undeniable but his attitude during this time was just too jockish to me. He had a very competitive attitude towards skating and it just rubbed me the wrong way.

So next week we will conclude Another Year with Cody Ages.

Intermission

With Another Year coming to towards its end stretch, I thought I would do something different this week and post some local vids I found.

The first is the Cayucos Halloween Contest. I was only there for the beginning and to be honest, I really wasn't into it that much. Costumes weren't that cool and basically if Ty Hjortland and Boomer weren't there, it would have been pretty dead. I was only there less than an hour though, so maybe I'm just spouting nonsense.

Video by James Simonaro

Stephen Figueira rips. Super good style and solid tricks. Expect a killer part by him in the Jazzpush video whenever/if it comes out.

The last video is by the Phat Pile guys. I like these vids because they always keep it super raw. Just good dudes skating. No HD bullshit, no lame indie songs, I don't even think they film VX. Just solid skating. Also good to know that they are still keeping the Rec alive!

Beef Bologna

Props to Matty for making it on hellaclips with this boardslide. Being in the background will be the closest I ever get to having a clip on that site.

This is the first time I don't have a Halloween picture for Jazzpush. No blue men, scurvy pirates, or pro wrestlers this year.

Instead watch this! Doing $20,000 dollars damage and being banned from Saturday Night Live is way cooler anyway.

Another Year - Kris Kroll

This was always my favorite part in the video. Kris had original tricks and a sense of improvisation that I really enjoyed watching. I would see him struggle for a single trick and take the hardest slams, but when he got it, he would land another 4 to 5 tricks in a line. I was there for the five-o 180 at Morro Bay park and originally he was just going for straight five-o but in a spur of the moment Kris just decided to go 180 and landed it. I would have to say Kris was my favorite local skater and kinda the guy I tried to emulate. Not trying to fan out too hard here, but this dude was rad.

Also I've got a free Jazzpush shirt for anybody who can send me proof of kickfliping the gap at 1:49. It's at Monarch Elementary in Los Osos.
