nike sb skate free series

A bit in-between things right now so here's a fun little series I was able to direct for Nike SB.
Hope you enjoy.

Extra credit for those who catch the CBI Cruiser BGPs in Malto's house. Was super stoked/shocked to see that lying around.

eric koston vs. the santa monica courthouse

The liberation of any skatespot should only be viewed as a positive thing. And when that spot is as historic and important as the Santa Monica Courthouse, who’s legendary ledges and stage have stood silent for far too long, this is a victory for all of skateboarding that should be celebrated.

Last September, I was fortunate enough to work with Eric Koston and crew on a little piece for Nike SB about this recently renovated and free-to-skate 90s mecca and what it means to skateboarding in 2014. With Slick Rick’s “Cuz It’s Wrong” steadily playing on repeat in my brain, I got to ask some questions (way too many for a 3-minute edit) and Frosty got to film some lines (his two stage clips are actually on my board). Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday afternoon.

Regardless of whoever, I’d love to see this trend continue whenever and wherever possible... even if it means me taking a shovel down to Venice Beach and digging up those damn tar pits myself.

This was fun.

shoes and booze

For those that happen to find themselves in Pittsburgh a week from today, please stop by.

Special thanks to Greg at OneUp.

gearing up for getting down

so when Nike approached me about designing my own colorway for a shoe, I told them that I needed two things:

1) I wouldn't do it without Neil's ok...




and 2) It had to be a throwback.





I'm glad it all worked out...

july.

p.s. If you don't like hi-tops, feel free to cut 'em off... I supplied the scissors.
