Everything that goes in your mind has to come out some time.

Scott Bennett- frontside five-0 to tailslide
Tweak City

Last week I spent a few days working with the owner of this license plate. He owns "Native Skateparks", but doesn't actually skate. I thought that was pretty lame...Matt Nelson slappies a new addition to the ditch. Drop a parking block on top of a tight, steep bank and it gets a lot funner.
Switch crooked grind on the new cinderblock/angle iron ledge thingy. (it's concreted in!) ph- Matt
Wes- five-0
RIP Ronnie James Dio. (Matt)
I loved this motley crew we had going and really miss the looks you get when milling around street spots. It really doesn't matter how old you are (14, 17, 32, 37) skateboarding is all the same.
Wes- kickflip (first try)
Wes being a bully, Drew being McCauley Culkin.

Don't be sad, I know you will.

Nothing special here- just had forgotten how fun the Wichita park is. Smith grind ph- Matt Nelson
This dude, Patrick, I once referred to as the "token hesh guy" of Derby, KS spread his wings 20 minutes north and became the token hesh guy of Wichita for a day. Nice guy does a crailslide.

I want to know everything so I can show you that I know everything.

Here's some pics from our b-day mission to OKC and Chickasha to get weird with Debris' and I got to skate their park. (it's not so hot, but the graffiti is phenomenal) There's also some random crap thrown in from around here.....
Chuck Ivey- best dude out.
hella fools.
This is my friend Matt Nelson, who I literally hadn't skated with since the 80's. We collaboratively built this wallrider and he did this bitchin' frontside nose-grabber on it.
He also built this fantastic pole-jam. Here's me getting faux-east coast, yo.
If you haven't figured it out so far, my books are out. (there's a link over there)
Zombie vs. Shark's Phil and Robert
Psychotic Reaction. The guy (Keith, I think) that looks like Brian Jones is a nice fellow.
Matt Nelson- backside stylee.
What's going on here? I think chuck is turning it to 11.
Despite harsh winds, ground, and menacing graffiti; I did manage a feeble transfer over the spine.
The whole gang. (Debris')
Chickasha's skate hate reminded me of old times.
Two of my gal-pals thought it would be a good idea for me to start making fabric out of my paintings. These are the "test swatches", but an actual yard of it might look pretty neat if any of you folks sew. The site is called spoonflower.com and you can type my name in and see the designs. Or not.....
Here's a new wheel series I'm doing dedicated to one of the greatest poets of our time, Mr. R. Kelly. If you haven't heard "Real Talk" lately do yourself a favor and YOUtube it- pure genius/comedy.......

Be Stiff

I published a new book of paintings today with an incredibly written foreword by my good friend, Matt Bokovoy. Unlike the first one I published, I'm actually really proud of this one and it's a little expensive (not my fault), but if you'd like to purchase it- the link to buy one is below this post. Thanks for the support to those of you who do.....
Support independent publishing: Buy this book on Lulu.

The Body of an American

With all this Debris/Zombie vs. Shark traffic flowing through here might as well advertise. The weather is getting nice again and you should check out these new wood grain Smash decks available in sizes 7.75 and 8.25 (8.00 coming real soon). Thank you come again.

Loose (going with the Stooges theme of the night, that's my favorite song of theirs)

The Doc- rocking and bleeding.
These dudes don't just live in history books- Debris!
Zombie vs. Shark- killing it.
Chuck Ivey is a great showman, musician, and nice dude. No jaded dudes allowed in Oklahoma.
Rockovoy's aftermath.
