Another day, another dollar lost...
Dollars are just evaporating into thin air, and yet, all we can do is skate.
This seems to be happening more often than not.

The days are hot, even in winter, (eat that east coast!) staying stretched and hydrated is just as important as breathing.
Kevin loves to shoot Matt B. drinking water. He says it's important to give kids who look at the Toy site a good influence, a role model for staying hydrated if you will. This is how you keep your body in tune. Matt B is a well-oiled machine, and a little smoke or some beer are only taken to make him normal, otherwise he would be basically bionic.
Putting a wet shirt on your head can help hide the shame of your daily existance and can also help to rapidly cool down your body so that you don't over heat. Heat exhaustion is rampant in the skate industrial complex.
Sweaty dudes without their shirts. I can see why the comments are down! All the homophobes are staying away from the website because they are secretly realizing they are gay and they can't handle it anymore. So instead of looking at the Toy site they go out and gay-bash some people to prove they aren't gay.
"Don't talk about gay shit under my photos."

A creative way to spend your day
Out and about in the streets with your bros and your skateboards.
Only pussies call each other before a session to ask what the other is gonna wear.
Back in the day Grif was into freestyle BMXing, and shows us some of his old moves.
He calls this one the "Chode Rumbler" and you can also adapt this into a "Chode Mumbler" and use it in the bedroom.
Man, would I like me one of those Chode Mumblers. Can you give one to yourself?
This is how Daniel Lutheran gets his stretches in. It also helps some people to think of the worst possible outcome so they can avoid it.
Um, yes. That is the shape of New Mexico tattooed into Daniel Lutheran's armpit.
I'm trying to figure out the take home message in this.
I'm trying to figure out the take home message in this.
Oscar Wilde said, "Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing." Dan-Lu begs to differ, he got this experience for nothing.
Every man dies. Not every man really lives.
My boner is my board, my board is my boner, take the rough with the smootch.
I should have named this post "Daniel Lutheran: For the Ladies."

I am told this is a sweat puddle.

Austin Stephens: Photographer
A-Stone has a new digi-cam and has been sending me photos from the sessions!
Jared Hager gets warpy. Hey, it's Friday the 13th - say that is a scarry voice.
His brother Cody Hager hippie-jumps while Logan Kincaid gets it on the Kincamera.
Matt B - is that a kickflip? Looks like one to me. Nice catch.
Wearing all black on Friday the 13th is a good omen.

Skating ditches with our newest AM
Jordan Taylor was just moved up from Flow to Am.
Kevin titled this photo "Jordan Hedgehog" and I'm trying to figure it out. Oh! his hair! I was thinking something dirty with the people in the background...
No one has ever said Johnny can't catch serious air.
