digging in the crates

spent some time today cleaning out the back room. its been a long overdue task that took some motivating for me to attack. i found some gems back there...

sony vx-2000 box. its been around 8-9 years since i got this beast. that camera has covered a lot of ground. thousands of skate trips and 4 cross country journeys.
lakai scott johnston x chocolate collabs that never made it into production.
my friend scott smith is pretty much a nomadic outdoorsman. he gave me these rocks from one of his many journeys. i forgot where exactly, yosemite, glacier, tahoe, colorado... he told me that these would motivate me to get out my retail world and get some adventure. they work.
remember when i-path was fresh. 
travel log of my first SF drive. russ, brandon, and danny hollingsworth made that journey with me. one of the best times of my life. 
old skate parts.. check out those G&S trucks
i found my old polaroid camera and some film. instant gratification.. i'm gonna put it to use again.
boca jr's samples, skated in. 
american apparel jacket made out of some fed-ex shipping material
also unearthed a bunch of old photos..

a young kj in a vintage urban tee with mr. boucher behind him. axion autograph signing.
john ollie in adios
jack and steve tandem. steve was wearing adidas waaaay before everyone is jupiter was 3 striping it up. 
younger gordo rocking some oasis hair.
brandon with a frontside crooked grind from his days in tampa. sharky photo
brad before he bounced to NYC. sharky again behind the lens
mitch in his old JB stomping grounds. i miss this kid. come visit!
brandon on the noseblunt skid.
mitch with a crooked grinding transer in the fierce.
shark dawg..anyone that moves to oakland by themselves is a badass in my book. i don't think you could pull this kit off in oaktown though.
mitch rigging up a spot about 20 feet from my house.
brandon kickflick on one of regular sunday miami trips. i think we rolled south every sunday for about 4 years straight.
john standing up on a five-o on probably the same day as brandon's trick above.
mitch switch flipping in the mia. corn on the photo action. that gap was way bigger than it looked. 
johnny getting up again on a fiver in the fierce.
most amazing, creepiest photo ever. connors looking like sid vicious. 
a little skate down memory lane. miss all you characters. we should get a 561 reunion lined up. next year is the 10 year mark. i'll be expecting to see you all in one place...who's in?
