Bear with me until :38 seconds in. Don’t just listen to this weeks selection, watch it!

History in the making…. Hendrix setting fire to his guitar at the Monterery Pop Festival in 67. This act shocked the audience and propelled Hendrix’s popularity in the U.S.

Rock on people, rock on

Hey Rome,

 Hope shit’s going well.  Been a while since we partied.  Anyhow, I hate hittin you guys up for more gear, but I lost the I-Shreds I’ve been rocking since the 70’s.  Think you could float me a pair?  I am the President and all.

 Pray for snow guys…

It’s been snowing last week in Breck but it got warm again. I’ve been skating all week-end. That’s the rail the guys where i live use during preseason.  It’s also a good rail to skate.

Pretty sick to have a rail at home.  When i have 15mins  I go skate it.

We’re jumping ahead a little to the mid 90s, but Johan’s break-out part is worthy of being watched over and over again. It’s hard to over-state how much of a badass he was. Like no other rider of the time, he mixed freestyle stuff with big mountain stuff. Taking up where Salasnek left off, he stepped it up with size, speed and power. When he dropped the line at the end of the part, no one had ever seen anything like it before. Unquestionably the grandfather of Rice’s mind-blowing shit.

I passed the two last week on the south pacific coast. We’ve been doing some camping in Cardiff, we went to some premieres in San Diego, skated a bunch in Oceanside and LA. Here is some shots from the second half of the trip, the other half is on Alex’s camera…

That’s a ramp we found around Venice beach.

We stayed at Lance’s from Ashbury for  two days and here we have my tent on the right and Louif’s tent on the left.

We stopped by the Rvca office, here’s the ramp they have in their backyard. Me, rock to fakie.

Alley spiderman walking…

Some bar fight at Big Bear.

something quick because we have to peace out…

It snowed in Breck! The last few days it´s been pretty cold and the mountains are covered in snow.  It feels like the winter is coming!

Breck Snow!

I honestly have no idea what’s going on here, but it’s pretty funny.

 Place your bets, folks.

Let’s take it back to ‘79 today with Stiff Little Fingers! Their style is timeless.

This crowd is awesome.

You may recall this song from LNP’s part in Any Means

Enjoy! (and go add some of this rock and roll to your playlist this seaon)
