the black keys....

all you need to make amazing blues rock is a drum set and a guitar... that is what the keys run, so get on it kids...the world could use some more. amazing show at the agora last night. stoked i did not have to listen to this one from my apartment, i was lucky enough to be there. check the picks below, proud to say they are akron's own...

wtf friday #4

syndicate b-roll

some shots from the other day...

marie hucal enjoying the "fresh" ohio air...


brandon is from michigan


marie, is from michigan


cameron strand is from michigan too...


sorry things ended weird, but unless your in vegas at SIA, that is your sneak peak at the 9-10 rome artifact base graphics...

where eagles dare...

great song and a fitting title for a post because today i saw an eagle... many of my western state friends would say "big deal they are like pigeons here", but here in northeast ohio, it is a pretty unique thing. saw it while i was shooting photos with the syndicate crew, good times again, might see those photos here soon, until then as glen danzig once said "i ain't no god damn son of a bitch"

travis rice is not human...

not only did he do this....

he then got back up and rode last night in the big air at the extreme games. he not only rode in the big air, but he also won it... although it was fan judging and may not have been a fair vote(torstien was tossing text book perfect switch 12's), he still was throwing double back flip 3's after throwing himself into a wall of snow a few hours before... i am pretty sure i can't even do that in a video game...

wtf friday #3

where do hipsters come from?

shaka bra

pretty stoked, we all should be... hope yesterday is a day my grandkids ask about someday... now its time to get to work mr.obama!

florida-where america comes to vacation... and/or get old

not a huge florida fan, but went to visit my grandparents this weekend and its always good to see family. also visited the aquarium and have a few snap shots from that i thought i would post. weather was cool but sunny so that was good, but florida is an odd place. retired folks do not have a lot in common with white trash and goth kids except a love of florida.

wtf friday #2

9+ minutes of "xtreme scootering" soundtrack by rage against the machine, enjoy at your own risk because you cannot have those 9 minutes back afterwords.

wtf/happy friday hybrid=shit crazy wednesday

hybrids are all the rage now in the real world, and here in the blogisphere, things are no different... check this amazing hybrid combination of a huge wtf and a happy friday extreme trailer, enjoy and save the planet.

wtf friday #1

i used to be a skier and think there are some amazing things happening out there these days on skis... this goes double when you see where freestyle skiing has come from...wtf

wtf fridays....

so i have run into a drought for my happy friday extreme movie trailers... if you have any ideas or fine works of film i have missed, please send them to me... in the meantime i am starting wtf fridays... i think they kind of speak for themselves.

happy firday-surfer dude, act like you know, i mean you knew this was going to happen

matt mcconaughey was born to play a retard surfer beach guy, i am pretty sure thats what he does in his spare time. i am also pretty sure this movie like all others in happy friday will offend anyone who is actually involved with said exploited activity, in this case surfing.

what does bernie madoff skate?

now, i am guessing he doesn't skate, because blowing through $50 billion of other peoples money is most likely an all day activity. nevertheless, if he did i would have to imagine he would run the lv deck...

get the whole story HERE on how people in nyc plan to charge $8,250 a piece for these numbers. however, don't let the price discourage you that includes the "skateboard case" as well, and i know i don't take my deck anywhere without its case... i wonder if it comes with swiss bearings? and do indy trucks go with lv handbags this season? we shall see.

bowie bowie bowie

received a late christmas gift from my good friend ron at rome... i really have no words to describe because it embodies so many things i hold dear. i am a big fan of snowboarding and an equally big fan of david bowie. rome has gone and brought the two together in the 390 binding... and it is marvelous, so stunning i almost cannot look directly at it. i did take some pictures but be careful, to stare at bowie and sparkles is like staring at the sun.

ps i am listening to suffragette city as i write this...







amazing...

midwest shred

new years day. a day for thinking about resolution, nursing a hangover and even hitting a kink rail. made the drive down south to kent, oh to meet up with some of the folks from syndicate to shoot a rail and have some fun. it was midwest bluebird with a fresh 3 inches on the ground. not a bad way to bring in the new year. i am sorry to report that with the combination of all that new snow and the lack of grade, as well as the lack of a drop in and/or extra folks to help tow, we were unsuccessful. but mom's were still insulted and fun was still had. enjoy the pics below.

midwest pow turns...


dan morrison, just barely not locked in...


dan, back to the top to give it another go.

happy friday-surf school, act like you know what sisqo has been doing since the thong song

who the fuck green lights this?
