Fail

I rarely take photos for some reason, unless they wind up as a cell phone picture taken on a whim, so here you go, some recent travels and pictures.

This sign made my day. Middle America is so advanced!

Here we are in Madison WI where something exists that isnt known to the west coast. The magical free ATM, you put any card in and it gives you money without taking any from you.

here we got a b-tad photo in SC

Sasquatch in Washington, space needle and its suicide deck for depressed north westerners, a brewery with the FOX guys in Waterloo Wisconsin, The Cap building in Madison, a tree frog in Milwaukee, some home boy rocking a tractor on the highway near Milwaukee (I hope you like this kick ass caption)

BRUNO!!!

Untitled from GREENFILMS on Vimeo.

Just saw this epic webvid of Bruno Hoffman on The Come Up moments ago. This bro always comes through with some savage moves, plus Country Clubbin' seems to gravitate towards We The People riders. Perhaps a coveted link to their website is in order. While we're at it, here's another rad edit of Bruno, tearing ass per usual!

Tricks and Treats

Going down for the third year in a row. If you're sour about not winning anything, then you can always recycle the cans/bottles, which would probably amount to an astronomical sum. And if you don't have a costume, you are a barn. This was linked from Mario's blog. More details soon...

Bastard Blasters

Sasquatch Canyon may have their blasters, but let's not forget about Kelly Blastello. Real men ride 3 foot quarters. I've been riding again, got a job, and Spin Doctors are playing tonight at 8:30. Let's get some fucking Dr. Pepper and have a sleep over!

Mark your calendars...

... or get whooped. Last years You Better Show Up Jam was rad ass fuck, so you know this year it's gonna be even better. I'm waiting on another flier for the Santa Cruz Halloween contest, but keep that one in mind too. Crazy Chris puts it all in for these jams, and the results are always fun and outrageous. So reserve September 18th for some Salas shredding. Here's Mike's video from last year, just in case you were a punk and decided to not show up:

Healthy Living, with Scott the Punk

Santa Cruz loves Scott the Punk, AKA Scott Buchanan.
Shortly after watching the video below, I came across this article which was a good read. Scott drinks cold milk on a hot summer day and he's from Nottingham, AKA where the Sheriff of Nottingham taxes the peasants like mad. But instead of taxing his health, he gives good reasons on being yourself. PSA's with STP in the near future? I sure hope so. If anything, I hope he comes back to America and works out with Mike.

I was too young to realize what was going on...

Stoked to see this video up, and apparently Budman has a few more oldies-but-goodies up his sleeve. I think I was like 12 or something watching this video, and the concept of Burning Man was well over my head. I just thought a chick with a robot dick was funny as fuck. Birdwell and Joey G kill it, not to mention that one guy Bryan Nicequist or something. Nor Cal Ballers!

Saw this too, figured I should post it. Joey Chernoff is a rad rider and has been rad since riding green Diamondbacks in boots. Guest appearances by Colin Moyer, Sean Seiling, and Sprinkles. Maybe somebody else too...hip.

I hate the Midwest. I miss you Santa Cruz

Birds of a Feather...

... do the bird together. Insert your own caption here (as in the comments). Happy Friday!

Flock of Seagulls are playing tonight at the Boardwalk, 6:30 and 8:30. Bring Dr. Pepper.
