Victory Acquired

Thus it has begun...

Congrats Mr. Dowling I honestly cannot wait to see what you will do.

Sponsors for the Shredfest

Got some pretty sweet sponsors lined up to donate product and prizes. Just one more reason that you should come out and try to nab some product.

Finally...an Update

Well well well internets, long time no pics.

I've been doing alot of skating lately but even more working. Fortuneately for me, the freelance has been coming in pretty steady and I've been able to buy a couple cheeseburgers and drive to skate places with the homies.

One particular day during the week, I caught up with Johnny, Jeremy, and Oli, for some late night shredding, nothing crazy just some kickin around and fun times.

Ladies and Gentlemen two of my favorite people...The Trevors:

Jeremy needs to stop sitting in the middle of the road:


And Oli took us out of the night with this cess slide:

Later on in the week, we took a trip to Hendersonville and shredded their awesome park.

I Finally managed to snap a photo friend and steezy Hendersonville Native Juanito!

Joey with a clean 360:


And the shocking Fishbrain:


My lady shreddin' it up:


Tucker boosted this clean air:


Nick also brought the ninja in training, Arthur, to come show us his skills...look out for this kid:


And before you ask, yes, those are Arthur's Pro Models:

And my favorite picture of the night was definitely Joey's 180:

Also a couple weeks back I made it out to the Boots Burgers and Bangers comp, and it was really sick. I got to hang out with a bunch of homies I hadn't seen in a while and also got to meet a lot of cool new ones. I didn't really shoot because I actually skated, but during the afterparty/aftersesh but I managed a couple photos.

After making our traditional Mexican food stop and having a couple beers, Kevin, Walt and I decided we wanedt to go do a little shredding. At this point, Mcmanus was already well on his way beer wise, so as we get to the spot, him and Dunkle decide to go to a bar and wait out the session, no problem.

We immediately get kicked out of the first 2 spots and decide that its time to call it a night and go to Troy's after party. Well as we're about to leave we come to the realization that we have no idea where Mcmanus and Dunkle are. About 30 mins and 10 phone calls later Adam finally calls back and informs us that he and Dunkle had found their shots and were going to sneak into the Neil Young concert, whom apparently was playing right down the street, and that we should just go on our way because he's just going to rock out to Neil Young, awesome.

Here's a pic of Kevin, Walt, and Blake, trying to figure out what the hell is going on:

So we wait around for a minute and discuss whether or not leaving Adam & Dunkle, drunk, downtown ATL trying to sneak into the Neil Young concert is a good idea...what the hell right? Their grown. So we all head back to the car, and literally as we do Adam and Charles walk up and begin to tell us the story of how they almost got to see Neil Young, good times. Here the couple pics I wound up with.

Last but not least, I also got to kick it with super homie Kevin Dowling.

For those of you who don't know, Kevin does a lot of shit in his life. If he's not spending time with his child, cornering the photography game, cranking out footage tape episodes, or blading every single day, he's busy winning contests that are going to promote rollerblading in the illest way.

Kevin recently entered a contest for Olympus that is going to put him in a position to document rollerblading, with some of the best rollerbladers, with a budget that will allow him to do it proper. For more info, visit his blog because he's already got 2 awesome skaters that are in for this thing. So stop by drop him some love and get ready for more awesome rollerblading, because if there is one thing you can count on Kevin for, its putting out legit rollerblading material.

And just a reminder, Shredfest 2010 is July 10th and the sponsors and picking it up fast, so make sure to make it out to this thing, wish Riley a happy birthday and do some shredding.

Now, time to go shred!
