in the 11th hour...
Wrapping up some last minute whoop-dee-hee's and dilly-doo's before the video goes public.
TXTMSG
Taylor Orman, somewhere on the side of I-5 texting his girl.
His MAIN girl.

Skooter's buds showed up to cheer him on. BFF's?

R.I.P. Ol' Blue
2000 - 2009
Chris Henry, Taylor Orman and myself took a little trip to LA-LA-land. The day pretty much sucked and it ended with the death of my car. It feels great to be at a complete stop on the freeway and get slammed by a car behind you like an accordion. NOT. The Mercedes that rear-ended us was barely scratched and still had the stupid ornament on the hood. WoW!
Ol' Blue, goin' out in style...
Chris Henry and Taylor Orman waiting for the tow truck.
We'll miss ya, Blue.
Too much Tuck
Skooter ended up hurting him knee cap on this tuck-knee because of how deep he got into it. He still landed it.
creative grip-job
Taylor Orman's sponsor was out of plain grip. So, he had to use a sheet of purple (coincidentally matching his shirt). He found a scrap of black to break up the craziness and sprayed on a 6Gun logo. Orman gets creative when he really wants to skate.
tRAiLeR & WEbSite UP!
More throw-away footage up soon. Enjoy!
interrupted
Chris: Hey, do you think you can move to another bench?
Mark: Why?
Chris: I'm trying to skate on these.
Mark: Well, you know these benches are for sitting?
Chris: Yeah. That's why I asked you...asshole.
(most people dont get it)
Lend him a hand
Chris Henry gave his hands a beating while gettin' BUCK for the video. If you see him, offer to grip his boards or ask if he needs help peeing.
SHUFFIELD lives
Here, I'm concentrating on taking a portrait of TAYLOR SHUFFIELD while he eyeballs the girls swim team.
John Drinkard!
Spencer Nuzzi had a chance to meet up with fellow skate brother, John Drinkard, during the Arnette Game of Skate. DRINKARD is from Corona, skates gnarly shit, has ton of energy to share with the world. Hope to skate with you soon, homie.
the Good & the Bad
Chris Henry started with a bad day...
but he was happy by the end of it.
Nuzzi attack
Once again, Spencer won the 3rd Arnette game of skate. That's three for three. Witnessing swarms of kids (moms too) mobbing Spencer for autographs has been quite entertaining for me these past few weeks.
SKOOTER throw-away
Unfortunately we can't use it all. Here is some footage that I have accumulated of SKOOTER (Connor Getzlaff) skating Poway Park. Enjoy.
caffeine hype
Spencer Nuzzi got spooked by how LARGE Its a Grind's cups are. He had to go UN-caffeinated. NUZZI will be at Etnies Park in Lake Forest this Saturday for an Arnette sunglasses demo/signing.
friendly citizens
A woman parked her car in front of the spot CHRIS HENRY and I were filming at. She must have noticed the expression on my face because she offered to move her car. I thought to myself,"Wow, that's nice."
Call 'em what you want...
Bangers. Hammers. Enders. Curtains. ALEX PEDROZA dropped some serious business for the video. His two homies rolled up and claimed $4 each for the next try. Alex came up on $8 and 2 tall-cans (courtesy of Orman and myself). Need I mention he did it with a snapped deck?
Post-session celebration: the homies, Tecate tall-cans, and Krooked Kronicles playing on the TV.
CHenry sesh
Chris got a trick today. Then his board snapped. Session over.
Family Reunion
It's been a while since this much of the group has skated together. Taylor Orman, Christian Flores, Spencer Nuzzi, Taylor Shuffield, and CHenry all met up to have one of the best sessions that I have ever shot. Of course it's good when everyone gets what they were trying, but, the real excitement came from everyone hyping each other up.
ORMAN is healthy!
After suffering a semi-major injury to his MANhood, Taylor Orman is back on track to finish his video part. The real bummer is that the injury happened right before he was due to film. Regardless, Orman has been nursing himself back to health with some good skate videos and his artwork. It's good to have you back, Taylor.
