Skate Like a Girl Demo

Skate Jams Washington Style

Photos by Boomer

A few days ago I (Deegor), met up with Boomer, who happens to be an excellent photographer, and we took some photos. The tricks aren't anything special, seeing as I was exhausted and it was dark, along with a million other excuses I could come up with for not feeling like trying new tricks... But the photos turned out super epic.
Anyways, here they are!

Backside feeble through the pocket.

Frontside Tailslide on the spine.

Frontside ollie on the spine.

Carve over the mouse hole.

Ollie over the flat and down slant of the pyramid.

Organized Chaos

Well Autumn and I drove into Portland to attend Bryce Kanights and Chet Childress's art show ORGANIZED CHAOS. The night was a hot summer night, not only was the weather hot but the event was even hotter. Between Chet's artwork and Bryce's photos there was a packed house that included some of the heaviest skaters in the industry.
I've always love the way Chet skates, he skate everything and he does it because he loves to skate. Chet took the time to hang with Autumn. They both did some art together on the wall and showed Autumn the suit case that he traveled the world with (of course Autumn tried to get Chet to sell it to her). We did end up buying a few pieces of Chet's art.




Also in attendence was Clint Peterson, Daniel Shimizu, Al Partan, Duane Peters, Jason Adams, Lance Conklin, Mark Conahan, and Choppy. After the show DP invited us to the Satyricon so Autumn could experince PUNK ROCK. DP Gunfight as Autumn put it was load and the people danced fun.
