Geoff Bogle

This is my friend Geoff Bogle. He has always had one of the naturally smoothest styles ever. This is a sequence I shot of him over the summer at the Falmouth Ice Rink. It's a Crooked Grind to Tailslide. He also bigspinned out of the Tailslide but the camera we used only shot 4 frames per second so it was hard to tell in the sequence. Check out an old video part of his here.

Boston 12.04.10

I went down to Boston on Saturday to skate with the fellas and hangout during the last few weeks of filming for "Sea Level". It's a skate video being made by my friends Elliott Vecchia and Chris Fiftal. A bunch of my friends have full parts in it and it's going to be amazing. The tricks that I've personally witnessed go down over the last couple weeks are so sick! I'm stoked to see the finished product. Check out the "Sea Level" Promo here.

Elliott had just recently posted on his website a picture of this car and about how he always saw it around his neighborhood. I happened to see it too on my way into Brighton so I had to snap a pic of it.

We we're rolling deeper than this but here's some of the crew in Dorcester. From L-R, Elliott, Nick Swanson, Tom Grande and Desimas.

Jay Brown with a Nose Manual Nollie Three Flip. He did it like second try or something. He makes it look easy!

Desimas' part in "Sea Level" is going to be outrageous. The dude should have a pro board. He really is THAT fuckin good.

This is Kevin Coughlin AKA "KC", chillin in between doing waist high Half Cab flips in Air Jordans! His shoes we're so fuckin sick! I'm gonna get me a pair, too.

Jay Brown took the next four photos. This is a shot he took of Elliott at a ledge spot in Watertown. Elliott lit up the spot with his generator and lights and some sick fuckin tricks went down.

Elliott and KC.

It was 28 degrees outside and KC was rippin Back Smiths in a T-Shirt and Jordans! SO sick!

Then the generator ran out of gas.

Boston 12.02.10

I had today off so I cruised down to Boston and met up with Elliott and Nandez. The weather was great, we skated a couple spots and had a fun time chillin in the city. Here are some super blurry photos of Nandez and Elliott at this crazy, curved ledge at Boston University.

I dig this photo even thought it's blurry as all hell. I think it looks kinda cool.

Nandez mid Back 5050.

This ledge in the foreground has a hole in it where a sign post used to be. Water gathers in it and people put cigarettes out in it so it gets completely disgusting. I skated the ledge for awhile tonight and eventually put my left hand in it. And then of course my right hand shortly thereafter. And then both hands off and on every couple tries. My hands fuckin staaannnnkkkk so bad, haha!

Tony Le's photos.

My friend Tony Le has been taking some pretty sick photos so I took a few from his flickr site to post here. He takes photos of all kinds of stuff but here's a couple pics of the homies shredding. Check out more of his photos HERE.

This is Bobby Parent crooked grinding a sketchy rail in Portland. This thing was hard as hell to skate but Bob shredded it.

This is Kris Monson wallriding the shit outta that thannnng in Lowell, MA. I don't know how he gets that high without any transition but he does. Whenever I see Kris we're both usually hungover as shit and skating Hadley Skatepark. We gotta hit a bar sometime, Kris!

Sunday 11.28.10

Went down to Boston on Sunday and skated with Elliott, Nandez, Pete Moulton, Jimmy Lake and Frankie. It was really nice weather, a sick crew and good times!

Elliott and Nandez in South Boston.

I have been to this spot a bunch over the years but didn't realize it was right next to the Old Colony Housing projects until yesterday. I read a book entitled, "All Souls" by Michael Patrick McDonald that was about growing up in that project and it was super gnarly.

Pete Moulton was shredding.

Pete cruising at the spot.

Saturday 11.27.10

I met up with Forrest Hagerman, Nate Jones, Toebee Parkhurst and a slew of others at the Portland Park on Saturday. There were people from Scion Auto that were giving out money when people landed tricks. It was pretty cool. I had no idea about the Scion people being there in advance but we all managed to get a couple bucks for just skating around that came in handy when we went to the bar after.

Toebee with a Lien Air.

Front Blunt.

Nate Jones with a gap to 5-0.

James Engle, Backside Noseblunt Stall.

The product toss was ridiculous. Look at the grown ass man in the bottom left about to wrestle with a kid over a fuckin t-shirt.

After the park we went to Ruski's. Forrest, PBR and scrambled eggs!

Nate Jones and Toebee.

After Ruskis's I went to Geoff and Siobhan's place. Raz and Siobhan we're chillin in the kitchen while I drank 40's with Bogle.

This is ORCA!!!

Friday 11.26.10

Ran into this scenario on my way to work today. Not sure what was going on.

But all these people had to wait in the rain until they worked that shit out. Bummer of a day to have to deal with it.

When I walked out of work all these people we're waiting for the tree lighting in Monument Square. I hungout for 5 minutes to see what all the fuss was about but couldn't justify staying longer than that. What do you do after the tree instantly lights up? You go home. Wasn't into it.
