I was skating around downtown this weekend when i ran  into a group of kids. After one of the kids mistook Julian for Jon Nguyen, Then Jon Choi ( I guess asians all look alike ) He started telling me how stoked he was on Bonus Round. As the conversation continued i asked him who he thought had the best part. He thought for a second, and simply replied,” LORD HALBA!” Being the Halba fan that I am, This intrigued me. So i started asking him “who do you like better?” “so and so, or Halba?” And i’ll be damned, Nine times out of ten this little light skinned brother would look me in the face and say “LORD HALBA!” This really stoked me out to say the least. I think for a split second i almost forgot how legendary the man simply known as LORD HALBA is in the streets.

We went on over to Tahoe for Labor Day.

Unfortunately, for us, we made a huge mistake by bringing our GF’s.

1. No drinking before noon

2. No smoking in the house

3. No gambling

4. No hookers

Man, chicks are a real drag

Once upon a time we all got in a van and drove to spain?

Our boy Nugget has been ripping as of late. Here he is keeping it real with a back smith.

Congrats to Joe and Kara Brook on popping out a baby boy. I wonder how all that happened.

This month, our buddy Daryl, was gracious enough to give away some pretty cool stuff. Nike gear, Royal trucks, Spitfire wheels, and some stickers that I didn’t even look at so I don’t know what they are but I would bet they’re pretty sick!

Oh yeah… Daryl, being the amazing person he is, decided to throw in his sweet Habitat Pro model!!!

Soooo, let’s see.

Q: What pro skater had a run-in with Daryl “I ain’t a baby no more” Angel’s fists?

The only dude I know that deserves a model. Human, musician, thespian, all around gangster…

After reaching the legal drinking age it seemed like Chase was over the whole skateboarding thing. Looks like his buzz finally wore off and he’s back to the pale young skateboarding Texan we know and love. CLICK TO VIEW his double ollie magic.

Justin Abarabar from San Jose won 2 sets of Joser’s pro Momentum wheel!!

ANSWER: Project Grizzly
Good job buddy. Now all you need is his enjoi board, a pair of Royals, and some etnies. Then my friend, you’ll be ripping like this in no time!

Heres some of my flicks from zine 2 that didn’t make the cut for one reason or another. Thanks again to everyone who helped out! Looking foward to number three!!!

 

Jason Adams and Lost Highway are making some moves. Throwing a huge party is only one of them. If you like music, art, drunk people and hellza fun I suggest you find your way to this event. It’s gonna be one to remember (depending on how many adult beverages you have).

One of San Jose’s finest……. And Peter

Our second issue of the zine is up and ready for you to look at. Imagine all the good times we had making that thing. Out in the trenches with our comrades in arms, sitting around a laptop and campfire singing songs and eating smores. These are days bro’s. Now we can share with you the woderfulness of being completely clueless. Or, maybe we have a clue and choose to ignore it. God, this can get totally confusing sometimes.

Just wanted to give a little shout out to all the homies out there working for the weekend. My main man Aarron Van Den Bulke is always working even with the weekend, and with that many kids I’m not sure how he does it. But with all that responsibility he stills finds the time to grind. Heres to you buddy, see you in da streets, actually more the park!!! 

Not really, but kinda… Peep game, and the colabos at The Armory Aug. 28th. Then I demand you yell, “SHINE IIITTTT!!!!” at the top of your wee lungs.  This will make Dave furious,  and he will drop his frosty adult beverage on the crotch Rob Welsh’s sweat pants. Wigger’s, they make the world go round. Sort of.

Shier Mate and Sweet Pit Larry go way up top.
