Session With DieLon!

Alex (TM) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:43:58 -0400

DieLon came down from the Real OC today and we got down on what we could in this blazing summer heat that's been going down. 85 degrees in March, sunny hot temperatures that we weren't ready for, needless to say we rotted a lot... But I did happen to shoot a couple of photos of DieLon killin' the Beach Barrier. Check the loose foot on that barspin, sketch!

Index Ink

Die lon — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:38:56 -0400

The other week I did a photo shoot with a dude named Adam that also rides for Index Ink and we were shooting some Ad photos for Pac Sun and other places where Ads will be shown. Here are the throw away photos I stole from Black Market bikes website. I also went out to Vegas this weekend for the Skate City contest, Was going to film but forgot my camera back in Cali so that was a lost cause.

Serious Shred Session... NO FUN ALLOWED!

Alex (TM) — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:13:30 -0500

Kachinsky, Kerr and I had a real awesome session last night at Blackbox, an empty ass, deluxe warehouse all to ourselves... Well, there were a few skaters at first but they eventually all peaced out and left the whole place to our shred disposal... So, I banged out this little edit with some of the heavy hammers that got thrown down last night. You know this shit is up on my website, The Daily Rotter and as always, it's also featured up on BNQT. The Serious Shred Session title is a tad bit sarcastic but you already knew that... Right? Thanks to Peacy for letting us have free reign on the place and thanks to the skaters for shreddin' hard and being cool.

About Time We Can Ride Outside!

Its finally getting nice on the East! Well, its only in high 50's but for us East Coasters who have been snowed in for what seems like a century, high 50's feels like rad 70's at this point! I took the time to go on a shred session at the Lengendary (pretty much only free outdoor park on LI) Greenport! Kevin Valot, (www.flickr.com/kevinvalot), snapped a bunch of pretty badass pictures that I'm super psyched on! Now that the weather is getting tolerable, I can finally get back to shredding on the usual! Kevin and I are definitely goin' to get down on some more photo sessions this season for sure! Also, we tried shooting a little bike check but we're probably goin' to have to do that again soon...

Denny Chatroulette Shred Edit!

Denny! — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 19:41:52 -0500

Denny Roulette Freestyle from Kris Valenton on Vimeo. I've come to find out a few days ago about this new social networking craze that has a HUGE percentage of the world masturbating in front of web cams, partying during the week in front of Mac books and just flat out creeping while nexting people like the MTV show! Chatroulette!! At first I was like, EFF that but after a night of some alcohol influence, a couple of friends and I put our fingers on the Chatroulette trigger and pulled! Luckily, my other Asian friend Kris, who is good behind a camera, decided to clock the shit clips we were throwing out, along with the wierdest of humans that were talking with us! Basically enjoy what he likes to call "Denny Chatroulette."

Skatepark Petition... Sign it!

Alex (TM) — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:43:21 -0500

Lil' Vin Crispino hit me up with an email and told me to sign this petition for New York's first ever indoor skatepark. I kindly obliged and threw it up with hopes of getting this petition passed around some more. The above photo is the building that will house said skatepark, if this petition passes with enough John Hancocks. New skateparks are always an awesome idea, it keeps kids stoked on bikes and gives em' goodies to shred... And a skatepark in Staten Island means more shreddin' for Lil' Vin and maybe even Spam. Is that dude even alive at this point? One phone call from Spam per 6 months is the usual now a days... That dude is so off the team. Click this LINK and sign the petition!! Contribute 1 minute of your precious time to New York shredders, so they can shred 1 foot tall ledges indoors during these harsh winter months...

Denny LOL Material V5

Denny! — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 11:39:42 -0500

Denny LOL Material V5 from Jeff DuPaul on Vimeo. After landing myself in CT for the usual TJD antics, like 2 weeks ago, Jeff decided he was goin' to make the as per-usual TJD Haven edit, (1 out of 14,000, thanks to winter.) During this session of shred and fun, Jeff thought it'd be an awesome idea to film a wallride to 540! Lets just say I did my usual flip, flop and heavy procrastination like I always do when I'm on a "clock clip mission." Well as you can see this is what came out, so let me present this masterpiece that Jeff likes to call "Denny LOL Material" V5! P.S. The banger is Slayer of Shred, Chris Childs, with a hand slap and catch away of an 8ft air barspin DEATH! You can hear me screamin' in SLOW MO in the background for him!

Football!

Chris Zep — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 13:18:03 -0500

I figured I would post this, as all of the people in it are close friends of mine and I've got a couple of clips in the video myself. Regardless of where the company goes products wise, this video is going to be insane.

Mike Spraker & His New Ivy!

Alex (TM) — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 19:21:40 -0500

Orange County resident, Mike Spraker, built up a new Ivy and he's been shreddin' it properly. Here's his complete Ivy and a few photos of him shreddin' Ben Snowden's ramps... Flip whips?!? Judging by the angle of the tree and my already keen knowledge of Ben's backyard ramp set up, that is over the box jump and not into that nasty foam pit... Legit.

Chris Zeppieri talks about the new Take Babylon frame from The Take on Vimeo. I just got my new Babylon frame last Friday and I love it, so I decided to make a little video talking about some of the features to show people what's up. Check it out.
