Alcohol gets the creative juices flowing and can do wonderful things to the human brain. Some of the ideas are so awesome at night, like the ‘Freddy-Heineken-Keg-Hands’, ‘Highest-Kick-in-the-Hotel-Room-Contest’, or the ‘Iron-Hot-Shots’ only to wonder the next day what the hell you were thinking. Here are a few random party situations I’ve been able to document lately
Shovel nose sharks right off the pier in Long Beach, CA. This guy was making shark fin soup for dinner.
So in the next few months we are inviting 16 core skateboard shops to the Volcom Private Skatepark. Each store gets 1 full day to film with all their team riders and employees and document the entire day. Here is a little trailer we made with some of the mayhem from Round 1 a few years back. This next round 2 is going to be even better because first prize gets their own commercial on Fuel TV, $1000 cash and $1000 in Volcom gear.
The summer skate contests are coming up again soon, Maloof Money Cup, Street League, Dew Tours, Euro Skate contest series, etc. The level of contest tricks is pretty insane these days, flipping in and out of tricks is the new standard. Here are a few examples from the last OC Maloof Cup. Exciting to see how skateboarding keeps progressing.
Here is my favorite skateboard contest run from a few weeks back at Tampa Pro, filmed by Rob Meronek
So we have two cats who like eating cheese and donuts. The first one we got was really tiny so we called her Lilliputter which is Dutch for Midget. The other one’s name is Lelijk which is Dutch for Ugly. They often beat each other up but also have a good time together. Here are some pics of them.
Meet my good friend Andrew Shusterman. He was born and raised in California and his family is Colombian and Eastern European (Russian and Polish). He travels a lot and gets himself in many random situations, that’s probably why we get along so well. He works as Team and Marketing Manager for Flip Skateboards and runs a blog like no other, its called Social Ancient
All photos and captions below are by Andrew while traveling the world from Long Beach to the Philippines to Colombia and more. Enjoy!
I went to the Philippines with Flip back in March 2010. The first spot we skated was a plaza in the middle of Manila where tons of street kids hung out and sold cigarettes and gum. This little nude kid couldn’t have been more than 2 years old.
There used to be a rad DIY skate spot next to this building. One day the management destroyed it and the Huntington Beach youth rebelled with this threatening message. I hope the city did have to pay…
This is Geoff Rowley in the parking lot of an Outback Steakhouse while on tour in California. Some wagers were made and this lucky bastard won the whole fuckin’ pot!
After skating a backyard pool, the resident dog proceeded to violate Andrew Langi’s leg. The day went from switch f/s blunts to unprotected switch f/s humps.
This is a photo of the local AZ taliban. They hate the west, dress to impress and love skating crusty ditches.
Fun at the Santa Barbara Zoo. Humans are basically the worst, most vile creatures on the planet. No respect, no remorse. Let the world know!!
Feast your eyes on the remains of some prime slaughtered Colombian cows. This pile of bones was resting next to the cafe I was eating lunch at in Medellin, Colombia.

This week I came across this Banksy artwork on a wall in Park City, Utah.
He’s an amazing artist who constantly breaks all rules, respect for this guy. If you haven’t seen Exit Through the Gift Shop yet, you should definitely check it out.
Just got back from an epic snowboard trip in Mammoth. A strong Pacific storm dumped more than 4 foot of snow in a few days. Our cars were covered in snow so it took a while to dig them out. On our way home we saw a vehicle burn down completely within minutes.
