Jam Bam Thank You Ma'am

Packed between TGIF and the return of a work week is a couple of days that can hold huge potential. This past weekend was pretty packed with all kinds of happenings and plenty of opportunity's for photos. First up was a mini ramp jam out at 6 Twentyone. Del was there and provided some rhymes to skate to and tons of folks showed up and watched a ruckus event go down. Ripping was done, Ron Allen did the M.C. services and Bruce Rodela, and Steve Brockway helped judge. Some of the rulers included Brad McClain, Chris Jatoft, Josh Mattson, Ryan Carpenter and Thomas Beeson to name a few. To be honest it felt like the ramp might collapse after that session.
The next event was the Deathwish jam held at Townpark in Oakland. Again a huge load of people turned out and all kinds of heavy hitters were there to be seen. This was a great way to finish up the weekend...sun, skating, and takin' photos.

Cornucopia

Man...talk about getting it done. This past Saturday I had a friend Anthony Anaya come from Santa Maria to get some snaps and just do some skating in the east bay. We connected in the morning and made our way out with a full agenda. On our way to Richmond park we collected Josh Sanchez and at the park we hooked up with Ron Allen and my homie Oc. We all had a good session there and I got some shots of Anthony working the corner quarter pipe. I had received a call the night before from Karl Watson about hitting the "local love" event at Townpark. I had intended on going and skating there and while I was there it turned out I could help Karl with some content shots for L.R.G. This event was super fun and the vibe was all positive. Cory Duffel showed up and played skate with the kids and as it turned out it was good Anthony was there cuz Karl wanted to get a demo vid from a young ripper. After a couple of hours we smashed out to a rail and grass gap spot and got some more shots. It's a trip the way light is gone by 4:30ish and to that effect the last spot was the Harrison park. This is the Berkeley park and the lights make it a night spot to session. A productive day ends at about 8:30 in the eve, drop Anthony with his folks and dump my cards. "Sigh..." Legs cramp and I'm tapped, but so worth it.
