A pleasant day at Mt. Baldy

These are always the days. Don't waste them on stupid shit like the internet.

But first>>>> watch this Matt B. footy on the Dekline site...

Carving backside, A-Stone gets his Baldy legs going.

Graf not by Matt B.

Baldy brings out the blood from people.

Careful, you might attract some bloodsucking corporations. They can smell it a mile away.

Gleaming the Tube.

Ed Asks the Phelper...

Grif gets his gnar-face on...

Matt B enjoys the pre-jump to fun.

OG Baldy.

Matt B clacks a floater...

Halloween Wrap Up: Part 3

Via Kevin's camera. Dude, scope our Skatepark Roundup.

And see some new photos of Leo Romero at Bradford's blog.

Johnny took his flying monkey costume seriously and took to the skies.

It was hot in that thing...

So he got a drink.

Ed and Turtleboy.

Ed and the second newest am, Jordan Taylor.

If you don't know, now you know.

Whoa.

Freddy and family. You know you're badass when Vader is your babysitter.

Already on the Dark Side.

Female Beetlejuice.

Karpinsky went Gonzo.

Bradford opted for slightly more highbrow with a Nachtwey get-up.

Man, that must have been one jacked prom.

As the night progressed people got more and more haggard.

And in keeping with both Halloween and Toy Machine, things eventually got weird.

Turtle-Boy lays down the law.

The sect guy wins his prize.

Hows this for a palette-cleanser? J-Lay without a costume.

Halloween 2009 Wrap-up: Part 2

And you thought being an awkward teenager with zits was hard...

Yeah, Ed can "K" grind just like you youngins.
Let me interrupt this post to say: Our Thrasher Magazine Skate Park Roundup just came out, so go watch it, then return to this post.
Last night was a full moon, and the animal came out in all of us, we collective beasts. I hope you noticed,

Tempster down.

Arms folded or hands by side was a trendy way to watch our demo.

Kevin said he threw up a little bit every time he looked at me.

Leo Romero, the champion of one-upping his boss, took this nose-grind all the way to the flat. Man's Game!

Anybody messes with Ed, it's curtains, see? Curtains for you. Put up yer dukes, you rube, I'll box ye right in the kisser!

Lance Mountain!

Demo action with D. Lutheran and Edward A Templeton.

Rob Straser was there laying down the law.

This Collin guy is pretty, pretttttty good.

Grant back tailed his way over the mini-norge.

My newest art piece: "Face two Face"

One of those glue-footed 360 degree ollies that look so kick-ass.
Colin has some of that.

Grif was doing the celebrity nip-slip all day.

From the South Pole to 90 degree Long Beach, California. Josh Harmony used his claws to do some ripping.

Matt B. rolled up pushing mongo and with full pads.

"And as we wind on down the road..." Don't back-mask what Collin says, it will sound like devil worship.

Young Dakota freebasing skateboarding in the form of a magazine.

Leo was doing crazy shit at mach-20 on the flat bar.

"Is there a Hot Topic around here?"

Grif signed his first ever poster (as a photog) that he shot and gave one to John Bradford.

Julian Davidson came late.

Nick Trapasso had a massive heel-bruise and had to sit it out.

The aforementioned heel-bruise.

Extreme penguin interpretive street dancing.

Jordan Taylor (Welcome to the team!) had a bolt thrown into his cheek but didn't complain and skated all day.

Rough!

Tempster gap to lip...

A-Stone was a cute little Owl.

Deanna, Ashley, (Grant's main squeeze) and Grant.
"Checking out my girl, huh? Put 'em up buddy!"

Leo scorching by...

Ed kept trying this gap to nose-blunt slide but ended up not getting it like a wuss!

Billy taking it straight to "child abuse" status with young Catch.

"Hey Luigi, meet us Teletubbies under the ramp..."

"What can I say? Phelper likes the chicks."

Ed judged the costume contest, making the kid in the Robot costume try a heelflip for the win.

He almost had it!

The top three: Sect #1, Robot and Turtle-Boy #'s 2 and 3. Sect got extra points for having a Toy board, and making a Toy painting to show that he is a Loyal Pawn.

He won a Fat Toy Package. But everyone wins on Halloween.

The signing went off.

Stay Tuned for Part 3 from Kevin tomorrow!

Halloween 2009 Wrap-up: Part 1

Featuring photos from Mike Sinclair - TM's light-man. (the opposite of a dark-man.)(dark-man meaning a menacing dude who kicks people off teams of course, not skin color.)

No it's not Robert Plant from Led-Zep, although now that I think about it, that should have been his costume. He even had a freakin' Led-Zep shirt on! It's Ed Templeton and Collin Provost, the 1st newest Toy Machine Am. The second newest am is Jordan Taylor. Anyone who wonders about why Ed would put on Collin will have their mind exploded when you see his Emerica part. Trust the Tempster.

Oh dude, Our Thrasher Magazine Skatepark Roundup just came out!

It's the 2nd annual Halloween Toy Machine + Active costume mandatory demo! Bring a costume and be a dork, just like the Toy Team!

Props went to the second place winner of the contest who had a fully hand-made TM Robot costume!

Line up to be judged!

Linus was there, but some people around him didn't dress up. These people don't like candy or fun.

The singer of Led Zep navigates carefully through an interview with Rene-Rene, a dangerous task. Is that Phelps on the curb?

Rene-Rene begged him to sing a little bit of Stairway to Heaven, but there was a strict NO STAIRWAY policy, DENIED!

Kevin Barnett came as Two-Face...

Thrasher's own Jake Phelps was there.

Sinclair used the guise of shooting a toy stencil being made to get a cleavage shot.

The Mario Bros.

Flying Monkey from Wizard of Oz (Johnny Layton), meet the Tempster as a little girl with severe camel-toe going to a princess themed sleepover.

Touching young boys in that costume may have crossed the line.

Billy Marks was Freddy Kruger with or without the mask, ba-zing!

There's Billy in full gear...

Who you gonna call? This kid wasn't even alive!

Warming up the creaky old body.

Dude, Josh Harmony fully skated in this costume the whole time. It must have been a THOUSAND degrees in there. So ironic for a penguin.

Stay Tuned for Part 2 on Tuesday!
