A few shots from the Eswic mini-tour.

On the drive back from Vegas...

Riveting coverage of my shoes. (last night at the skatepark I tweaked both knees, and then a few minutes later fell headlong into the vertical barred fence, raking my dome across 3 or 4 rungs. Golf ball lump. I drove home to ice my old crusty body.)

There were at least 3 dudes in the car ready to dock... Burnett was not one of them.

Immediate stop, can't make it one more block. Take that Covina.

Rock Star/SOTY style is how Leo rolls.

My very last shots from the HB park

Just discovered a roll of film shot on the day we cut the flat bar off. I shot lots of digital photos to blog about the HB park, but this was the last roll of film, and the last shots I ever got of the park before it was bulldozed.
86584340hbparkbarcutoffs.jpg
Cut with sweat and blood.
86584340cutoffhbparkbarc.jpg
The HB park, crucified unjustly.
86584340grifflastphotohb.jpg
The Griff-Dog.
86584340hbbarcutoffscene.jpg
The sun can never set on the HB flat-bar, because I have it in safe keeping.
86584340hbparkbank.jpg
The curvaceous bank can no longer be caressed by my loving wheels like the hips were.
86584340hbparkedolliebyg.jpg
A view with Geoff Rowley's graffiti, and me doing one of my last ever ollies over the hip. Shot by Griffin with my camera.
86584340hbparkjoiner.jpg
Shred a tear for me.
86584340hbparkkinkedbar.jpg
The kinker bar broke my ribs at least once, and bruised them a few times too, and has split plenty of blood from my shins.
86584340hbparkscene.jpg
HB has been very inept at getting this new park going. Money wasted!
86584340hbparkviewthruba.jpg
Relentless teenager usage was finally getting the best of concrete and steel.
86584340policekickinguso.jpg
This is the cop that kicked us out, and what spurned us into the realization that this was our last session ever. We went immediately to the hardware store and bought hacksaws.
86584340roundedbencjhbpa.jpg
The tortured ledge which was once nice and sharp was blunted by the myriad of abuses it endured.

Weekend Color for a past Summer Weekend

Images from 2010 continued...
86564336alternativekidsu.jpg
"Lets go find the closest thing to a forest they have in suburbia and listen to Ulver, the beach is sucking my life force, why the fuck did we come out into the sun anyway?"
86564336couplelookingatp.jpg
The couple that texts together stays together?
86564336girlwithhairfeat.jpg
This girl is using a flat iron to straighten the feathers she is selling to girls who want a feather in their hair so bad they will pay money to get it done.
86564336girlsinbikinishb.jpg
"Lets go meet Skyler at Baskin Robbins."
86564336indianwomaneatsf.jpg
Eating at the intersection between the pier and loneliness.
86564336jesushatguyplays.jpg
Belting out keyboard songs for Jesus with a keyboard belt and no shirt is an effective way to attract followers to your belief system.
86564336manchecksphonedo.jpg
This one's for Grant.
86564336mothertalkstochi.jpg
"I told you to stop fucking crying, you'll get a funnel cake when I say you're getting a funnel cake, so shut your binky-hole or I'll buy a funnel cake and spike it to the ground right in front of you."
86564336tatteredwomanhb.jpg
This reminds me of some skater, but I can't remember who...
86564336womancollectscan.jpg
"The non-thinking waste of this society is my financial ladder into this society, HA!"
86564337dogwithshirtlays.jpg
The surfing walk of fame provides a sufficiently industrial flat surface for the weary bones of this quadruped.
86564337girlswithweirdgl.jpg
"What? Yeah, we coordinated this, so what?"
86564337guywalksonhandsd.jpg
"Hey ladies, check out this Herculean display of my muscles! Wanna be 'with' me?"
86564337metalkidsmackong.jpg
Some met'lers scamming some beach tail, Godspeed young men!
86564337morepussytattoog.jpg
Yeah, those are real tattoos.
86564337patrioticcouple4.jpg
All these were from the 4th of July, 2011.

Here is how 4th of July goes in HB

That is Huntington Beach, California, 2010 in glorious color.
86524335beachon4thhb2011.jpg
The beach is packed with sun worshippers.
86524335girltakingoffswe.jpg
Strip that poncho off and lets see that British Flag one-piece you are sporting.
86524335girlssittinghb.jpg
The exposure on this one is sorta bunk.
86524335longlensguyhbpie.jpg
The pier is lined with these guys in summer. When you follow the line of the lens, the target is inevitably a young woman in a skimpy bikini.
86524335mansittingcooler.jpg
This guy brought his chair and a cooler of beverages and camped out where all the women would be walking by. His mirrored glasses hide his eyes glued to swollen mammaries pouring out of tight bikini's.
86524335manstandinghb.jpg
Off to the drifter-dock in front of Starbucks.
86524335oldwoamnwithwate.jpg
This grannie was pouring some water on the ground for her dead homies.
86524335threshertails.jpg
Three tails freshly chopped off the end of three Thresher sharks yanked up into a hostile and uncompassionate atmosphere from the inner mouth by a hook and line.
