Ryan Harris, Boneless, Mazula Montana, 2008: One of the funner trips I have been on in a while…… I really enjoyed Montana. Well I’m off to the painted Desert and Petrified Forest until Friday…… Have a good week. - Brooks

I Wont be torturing you any more with my trip out to AZ. . This is it. It’s over. I swear….

???

How many Shrunken Heads does it take to bucket a pool?

I seriously didn’t expect these stairs to go down. Wu Weller with a long shallow end stair carve/grind..

How’s it feel to carve the stairs Jamie? Greeeeeeeeeat!

Xander got em too… Then he backed it up with grinding light-death. For you unhip pool bro’s that means grinding over the light and the deathbox at once. Now I guess I could of shot a sequence of this. But do you really want to look at a 40 frame seq? Maybe you do…..  Sorry, I dont.

Angle 1 of light death.

Angle 2

Chappy and his new board…..

The skateparks were packed and pretty wack being the weekend and all. I love it how parents use the skateparks as day care centers…. So we decided to hit up this ditch we got directions to.   Steve Galicia with a melon over the hip. This place was pretty fun. But then again I love shitty ditches…

Ryan Harris frontside flipped from low to high. Maybe next week you can see a sequence of it when I figure out how to do the animate gif. seq’s that everyone craves for.

Out of no where it went from just us being at the spot to like over 20 people. Bmxicans, other skaters, even a white t-shirt club showed up…

Jamie doing something.

This is what happend to Ryan’s arm after the white t-shirt gang jumped him in.

Don’t they look like they’re having a blast! This ditch spot is EPIC!!!

After the ditch spot we went to this park. Sorry, I’m retarded. I don’t remember the name of the park. Maybe Chandler? I dunno. But it was pretty fun. Until I ran into some kid and fucked my wrist up.

Xander with a smith on the kinky bank to wall.

After the park we went to the bar to see this…. What?

Hungry?

Guitar pick pool…

Ooops…

We’re out. Back to San diego…..

Are you serious? More of this Arizona crap? You gotta be kidding me?

“Gotta choke up on that bat!” “Keep your eye on the ball!” Follow through with that swing!”

Ben Dickson promised us virgins. All we got was this blown out used amoeba…

Jamie Weller should of died on this disaster. Or maybe the caption should be this disaster could of been disastrous but thanks to the amazing Jivaro urethane Jamie was able to escape unscathed. Or not. I dunno.

Our introduction to Carl….

Well, not much changed from the picture above this one. Besides that it got dark and we switched locations…We did actually skate a skatepark. But the real session went down in the parking lot.

Grocery parking lot sticker.

While some of the crew decided to party in the bar others decided to stay in the van. I chose the van…. Rumors were flying around that Carl wastransforming into the infamous “Hot Carl”. We waited in the van with anticipation….

The rumors were true…. HOT CARL CAME ALIVE!!!

Day in the life of Jivaro in AZ part two.

Why we came here: Arizona’s scenery. This place is beautiful…

So I left off with part one with us having a few more hours in the van until we got to Phoenix. As the road sodas were being finished up we arrived. Well as we drove into Phoenix area we started to realize that we hadn’t lined up a place to stay yet. So everyone started to make some calls, but no luck. I guess everyone was in San Diego at the Black Fly’s booth or taking shots with Biker Sherlock or just did not want to deal with 12 dudes… We couldn’t find a place to stay. Lucky Xander’s good pal Ben Dickson was cool enough to put us up for a few days……
.
First things first. We needed some more papers so we stopped by Blaze…

Tobacco water pipes…

Sorry, no crack pipes…

But they did have a Jason Lee water pipe.

“Hey should we get a 4 footer for the van?”

Ryan Prefers his Bammer. Where as Jamie likes his blueberry.

WU Weller getting all hyphy and shit with his dope new seedless jersey.

I dunno?

Ben Dickson’s state of the art house heater.

Night one truly coming to an end.

Woke up in the Morning to see everyone on the front yard training facility work out machine.

After a hard work out at the training facility or “TF” we went out for breakfast that took 3 god damn hours to get over and done with…

Finally the skateboarding on this trip begins…….

While it was raining every day last week and most people were having serious bro down sessions at the trade show I decided to hop in the Jivaro Wheels van and head out to Arizona for a few days…

If you were at the trade show you might over hear someone say something like ” that’s some excellent p.o.p” - Which means placement of product. Pretty cool huh? Here’s an example of some Jivaro p.o.p

Dodging the rain..

Pit stop number one was at a known pool that had been going on for some time. Wasn’t sure if it was still skateable we decided to check it out anyways… Cause you know JIVARO is all hardcore and stuff.


Still skateable. Just not today. Pussies or not, no one wanted to start the trip bucketing this shit water. I sure didn’t….

Salba would of……or not. Shit maybe you would of. But then again you didn’t smell it. Trust me, different circumstances it would of got cleaned. Just wasn’t happening on this day.

So where are those papers?

We didn’t do it…

Seriously.


Speaking of being serious. Serious dice games were being had…

Ryan Harris had a hot dice hand going for a minute..

Pot’s a building…

Jamie Weller.

Damn, my teeth are jacked! Who cares look at all that money!

Day one coming to an end. Few more hours in the van. Luckly we had some road sodas. Drink responsibly…..
