Yeah. It’s still cool. What am I talking about? Pool skating. Yes, backyard pools are still in. The only reason I skate these things is because it’s popular. If it wasn’t cool I don’t think I would ever step foot in one of them. With that being said here’s some photos of some super cool guys that are really concerned with the skate scene. Texas Dan and Slob skating a backyard pit in Carlsbad, California.

I mean how much funner would this pool be if it had water in it?

I’m guessing Darrel Delgado would be saying this is Terror

Remember Matt Hensley Skating this ditch back in the H-Street Videos? Yeah it’s still there.

This I guess this week it’s going to be the Monday Fritz files…. Just to keep you on the edge of your seat!

In part one last week we left off with a day under the bridge at Burnside.That was a fun time besides having a minor case of the airplane legs. But that’s just another excuse to make myself feel better about drinking beers and shooting photos instead of skating. Our NW host Ryan never seems to have a hard time skating so I was fortunate enough to get a few decent photos. Our agenda was really no agenda. The four of us (Ryan, Davey, Luke and myself had 5 weeks to do whatever wherever. We just knew we had to be in Seattle to fly home after the 5 weeks were up. After spending a few days in Portland hanging out at Jamie’s house started to get antsy and decided to head to the coast to meet up with the youngest old man I know. Mr. Cobra Kyle Gallagher.

This isn’t Kyle. But Mr Richard Lipz himself in the flesh… Enjoying our RV’s luxury living quarters on the way to that one skate park with the giant butt hole.

Dont drink that… It’s 1,200 hits of liquid acid….

Kyle arrives… We had a session at Mcminville.

The vagina hole bowl at Mcminville is great for photos but isn’t the funnest thing to skate. For a change everyone was skating the street course.

Ryan Willians, aka BOOHJAH..

Low to high ollie to truck bash.

Luke was so hyped on the session at Mcminville he decided to get a tattoo at the local shop in town so he would never forget it. What could be better then some flaming dice?

After Luke’s episode of “Oregon Ink” we went to a friends house where his driveway is funner to skate then your local skate park. And that’s just the cement that was left over from the basement.

Proper tailblock.

Sweeper

Amarilla

Our friend Derek Plourd decided to meet us at Bainbridge.

5.0 revert

And the crowd goes wild!!! Luke loves Bainbride. And why wouldn’t you?

Board meeting…

Skateboarding can be fun.

After skating Bainbridge all day everyone was pretty hungry. So we decided to catch the ferry over to Seattle to get something to eat. And what could be better then a bag of Dicks!

Have a good week. -Brooks

Another north west trip? You better believe it. What? You don’t like it up there in the land of concrete and trees? Everyone talks about taking trips to California. Well if you didn’t know it sucks balls here…. Skate park wise at least. But I guess we do have great weather. Weeeeeeeeeeee! Sun shine! But if your looking for something other than nice weather. I suggest heading to the North West. And for all you North West protectors crying right now. Dont worry. Your scene is already blown out….  Here’s the first part of maybe three of the Oceanside chapter north west TERROR tour….

TEAM: (left to right) Dipshit photo goon, Davey Rockit, Richard Lips, Captn Boohjah

THE TEAM RV: The four of us piled into this thing to make it our home for the next 5 weeks. Talk about luxury….

DEAF PAUL: says welcome to Portland, Oregon.. (not really hence the name deaf Paul)

WU WELLER: From one bridge to another straight off the airplane and we headed straight to Burnside to meet up with Portland chapter member Jamie Weller. Here he is demonstrating a proper low to high free lunch ollie.

RYAN WILLIAMS: Ryan was hungry for some free lunch and got in on the meal himself. This is not just a flying butt shot. It’s also a lien air.

Alley oop angle 1 (its too easy shooting photos of this guy)

In yo face alley oop angle 2! Seriously Lib Tech, why aren’t you paying Ryan to skate?

and if that wasn’t enough here’s a sequence… I like frame 5. Most people have to have bindings on to do that shit.

Do I really need to write a caption for this one?

It’s pretty self explanatory dont you think?

MIKE ZINC: crows nest view of Mike’s pillar launch into the big bowl.

JAMIE WELLER: yeah I know, you probably all ready seen this photo before. I’m just going with the flow and putting the photos in the order they were taken. Blunt to fakie on this is no joke. The run up is rough as fuck. Most people would give up after a couple tries. Luckily for me Jamie pulled it within a few tries before my beer got warm.

SPERM ART: After a full day under the bridge we headed back to Jamie’s house. This is Sperms gift to Davey. Who says board graphics suck these days?

There you have it. Part one is done. Part two coming next week. Have a good weekend. Do something… -brooks

This is the tale of the mighty knights looking for the Key to the Nile. Secret missions in the heart of the jungle riding the range. Ranch hands from outer space on a mission to Mars. We are your backyard friends. We are the Backyardigans!

Together in the backyard again.

In the place where we belong.

We always find things we’ve never seen before.

That’s why every day we’re back for more.

“Robin Hood The Clean”

The “best clowns in town” thought it was a polka palace party. No riding the range this day.

“Le Master of Disguise believes It’s Great to Be a Ghost”

Escape from Fairytale Village at the garbage trek on the the quest for the flying rock.

“Pirate Camp”

“Pirate Treasure”

Eat a piece of Samurai pie and get going on your own viking voyage…… -Brooks
