For those of you that didnt know, i am currently working in California for a Mbi publishing on a book documenting the story of how, when, and why the history of skateboarding evolved to what it has become today. Here is a sneak peek of some of the work i’ve shot so far.

They say things come in three’s, when it rains it pours, well, for the better part of my life things normally came to me in 5’s, or more and seems to be a continual pattern on most given months. So, to make it more clear, here is my list of what has happened in the last week here in California. For many who know me well, this is not too unusual, for those getting to know me you will start to understand quickly how my life goes.

1. Boards flew off the roof on the Interstate 5 (for those unfamiliar with this freeway, its a free for all of 12, horrendously fast traffic ridden lanes stretching through Los Angeles, where on that particular day unfortunate people had two 9ft boards mid air aiming straight towards them. A call to 911, assuming i’d most likely killed someone and a retrace of where they came detached, no boards were to be found.)

2.Paid off debt for i phone then lost it, insurance wont cover it.

3.Tree fell down on Interstate 5 in front of me, very weird.

4. House next door burned to the ground.

5.Strongest winds and downfall of rain hit California today, worst in 5 years-No fashion shoot, no Tony Alva, no Stacy Peralta and no Hilton family.

Unfortunately all could not be documented, however, the housefire was one of the highlights.
