The small, very small, start of an army...

Yesterday, two lone wolf bikers, who informed me that they would like to remain anonymous, set out on the open roads of Baltimore County with nothing but themselves, a couple of high speed bikes, and a little bit of music. 

Jungle Cruizing. So Fun.
Heading out...

Some photoshop play...

As seen before, without the effects, here is Jason frontside carving over the light a little before summer.

Out climbing...

ENJOI..

Last wednesday, the Enjoi team did a demo at Whitemarsh Mall for the Zumiez couch tour. Enjoi has always been one of my favorite companies and they were awesome to witness in person. Here are a few photos I took from the sidelines. I wish I could've gotten closer but since this was as close as I could get at the moment without having to talk to some annoying Zumiez security these photos will have to do. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoi anything from these guys as much as I do. 

I didn't get too many good photos of Joe Red but I thought this one came out nicely with the better part of the team watching his smith grinds that he did all day. 
These guys have fun together. 
This dude was the perfect person to represent Zumiez; extremely flamboyant and annoying.
Cairo pushing around, such a solid skateboarder. 
This was one of those, "you had to be there," kind of moments. Cairo did the best backside noseblunt I have seen and probably will ever see. 
Caswell, their, "big gun," was the big gun of the day. 
Caswell with a huge frontside flip. 
Nestor is a staple of style, and his backside tailslide's on the ramp were proof. 
Louie, my favorite, did all the tricks you wanted to see him do. Here's an invert for you. 
Seriously the most fun person to watch. 
Louie had the best sock combination. The best quote I heard from El Capitan was when someone from the crowd yelled to him, "Louie, hold my hand!" Louie replied, "Woh, thats a little weird, but I'll shake it..."
Yep.
Watching these guys, who are legends, do any tricks is a treat. A nice way to cap it off: Cairo with a solid Frontside 5-0.

Peter had a party last night...

...for his and Dontae's 21st birthdays so I decided to make a post out of it, it was definitely fun to film and edit. I think everybody had a good time.

Pictures from the enjoi demo up tomorrow...

something to tide the night over... This was a while ago, and my board came up and smacked me in the arm as you can see, I couldn't move my hand for a few days and had the worst bruise on my arm. It was probably one of the more painful experiences I've had. My arm had this crazy throbbing pain for about an hour and a half and I felt like passing out or throwing up.

BUST... too bad

Went to check out a pool tonight that my friend Kevin Costigan saw from a few yards away while out on a landscaping job one day. We got there when it was pretty much dark outside, the house appeared to be abandoned with everything overgrown, things rotting and falling apart and an unused pool. We headed back to find that it was a BUST and not skateable with none or very little transition from what we could tell. 

Too bad...
The pool house/bar was pretty stylish though
