Griff shows off his Spice-Cam

The amazing Spice-Girls Polaroid camera!

Epic Ditch Day.

Boy, I was ready. I had my cameras, my broom, my shred sled. And just when I was about to get an photo with Bradford, and damn cop came to kick us out. What buttfaced losery prick would call the cops on a few skaters enjoying a ditch on the side of the freeway, completely away from everything? The cop said we were doing graffiti. Austin Stephens brought his camera too and shot these very nice portraits of Josh Harmony and crusty old me, along with all these other photos.

What a fitting title for a restaurant filled with skinny white boys...

A Fine Disaster Area

Johnny Layton back D's the shit out of the extension at the Banana Farm in Texas.
If you live in So-Cal, go to the video premiere of flow rider Brian Hanson, called GPH...
And congratulations to Nick Trapasso for getting 37th place at Tampa Am!

Mr Stephens, Zen Master

Austin takes his time between goes at a spot. He's not one to be bulldozed into trying things. But he's certainly no poser.

Kevin, will he ever?

Guys, lets get a Fun One OK?

Here is another Fun One from a long time ago... What?

Tough Guy

Josh steps up and asks what the hell you're looking at. It's best to avert your eyes from his pretty lady and go on about your business. You don't want to tangle with the likes of Harmony.

Ed Templeton wins World Championships - 1990

Watch it! It's a long freaking time ago! Look at the size of that crowd!

Skateboarding

It's Sunday, that's what we're doing.

Grif's Roids Tell Today's Story

Austin and the gang skated a sweet bump before it got dark today. Josh almost got hit by a car.

Billy helps a random zorched American...

Read a map?

Lurking on Random People #34657

Yes, I was watching you.

The Clouds Mumble Prophecy To Matt

Bennett left a message fortelling the epic sesh that will be. At every spot he finds a way to climb up on something like the Predator or a ninja or something.
Like a giant glass dil-do crushing the sun, welcome to the Cul-De-Sac of Lameness.

Griff's leg after some serious slammage...

This is why you need to avoid surgery at all costs.

Josh Creeps

Harmony attended a Black Box Open House on behalf of his shoe sponsor yesterday. Business was handled in the form of ample rippage from Josh and Matt B, the latter of which escaped undocumented.
Check for more Ed whining over at the cul-de-sac.

Geoff Does a Wallride

Images from the session at the Volcom TF...

Griffin goes down.

Griffin pre-going down. Notice he is much happier.

Foreshadowing

There was some Josh Harmony gnarliness up here earlier, but we had to shut that down due to some complaints from parent's groups saying we were scarring their children by showing such brutal skate attacks. Don't blame us.
Loyal Pawns who are waiting for their DAILY injection, enjoy Ed's Blog or the Random Blog.
It seems like Kevin refuses to update. ENJOY the stagnation! I'm going hands off!

Staba owns a firearm

You leaf-blowers better shut those filthy things off.

When the Gnar-Boots need putting on...

Josh Harmony is the man to call.

And if you need someone to sack a spine in the nude, call Ed.

Ed smiths his way around a corner...

Polaroids (hemarrhoids) by Griffin Collins

During a fun shred session at the Volcom park with Geoff and a posse from the HB skatepark...

Sometimes, the day just crumbles away...

And you find yourself at Chuck-E-Cheese's playing games with a bunch of little kids. The spot was blown out, and you just say fuck it, lets go there... Lets have some weird times.

Griffin goes Autograph Hunting: #5

But forgets to have Daewon Song sign his polaroid! -Blowing it!

A fun one of Mr. Austin Stephens

And a mean one too.

All Polaroids are by Griffin from now on unless otherwise noted. Austin's girlfriend.

FSU in 2007 & FTW while you're at it...

Tempster In A Moment Of Mortality

Ed wandered the cemetery capturing so many's final resting place, perhaps wondering what strangers would visit his grave.

Am Team Meeting

As they rest in between skating at a spot, Matt gives Nick some important pointers about holding down the Toy am team. It's a rough job, but somebody's got to do it...

Suffer The Joy

Kevin, along with johnny Layton, in a car.

About to drive somewhere. How interesting.

Brendan cries in the streets of LA

Although he is not really crying, just caught by the camera at a strange moment of conversation and /or laughter, Brendan, aka BARR has a new record coming out and you need to buy it.

Bilbo Cousteau

Billy came by Johnny's the other day to go the the Aquarium. He's chipped a bone in his shin so he needed to occupy some time. He and J-Lay gimped around on an underwater adventure with matching Jimi Hendrix shirts. Very cute...

Don't forget to Suffer.

I know it's blurry as Hell...

But here is Geoff Rowley surfing his car down a Huntington Beach street at 55mph, What a nutter!
And here is a photo of a Tarantula that he sent me. He shot it out in Arizona...

Remember Summer?

Austin and Josh grilling some dogs back when it was warm out...

Intermission until Kevin Updates

Until then, and by then I mean when Kevin decides to do his job, and take into consideration the multitude of Loyal Pawns who are waiting for their DAILY injection, enjoy Ed's Blog or the Random Blog.

Disturbing images of Ed

They are not hard to come by...

Griffin goes Autograph Hunting: #4

This time he got the chief, Jamie Thomas. Here is an old photo of Jamie from 1995 or so, when we were in SF filming for Welcome to Hell. D. Barley is messing with him...

Austin skates the park with Ed now...

And here is a photo of Austin's girlfriend. Am I serious or not? You decide.

Why use the sun in your backyard?

When you can just buy a full size tanning bed for your house?
I don't know. Ask Billy Marks.

Hanging with the skate stars...

Old Photo Blowout

Ed's been on the mission quite a bit lately, garnering footage for the always encroaching video deadline. There's always one looming in the distance.

Diego takes some great Panoramic shots...

The top one is his beautiful wife Mabel, and the bottom one is some serious geometric architecture.
Suffer The Joy of having such a keen eye.

A-Stone And The Flip

Austin kicks off the newest installment of extra footage that didn't make the cut, or got cut, rather, over at Suffer The Joy.com. Scope it or be a loser.

Back In Burbank

Matt B backtails for a sneak peek at tomorrow's new post over at Suffer The Joy. Stay tuned...

On Johnny's first trip with us...

Before he was even on the team, I suggested we cut his hair, because it was getting out of hand...

Billy's John Hancock

I could write something witty here, but I think it's better for Ed to come along and edit it.

New post coming this week on Suffer the Joy.

Griffin goes Autograph Hunting: #3

This time he comes back home with some Steve Berra Memorabilia... Check out Steve's new film, The Good Life, starring one of Austin's favorites, Zooey Deschanel.

Like A Razor Blade

While Ed unravels stories of world championship domination Matt B wonders how the aliens took control of humanity in the first place. Afterwards Ed gave Matt a ride home and they talked about how much Billy Marks looks like Steve Berra.

Check out the Car Wash Montage from Suffer the Joy dot com.

Even the Gonz rocks Toy Machine!

If the inventor of street skating does it, what's up with you?

The Twilight of the Future Looks Bright

Austin had a good time skating this weekend. Clockin' footy for the Emerica vid. He didn't get mad.

Diego shoots nice photos...

Here the Butcher shoots Kevin as he does his job, filming.

Finally Ed gets his own Skatepark...

Have you been to it?

Its a good place to let out your aggression.

Ed T and Matt b in the place to be...

Maxing the pixels to glow. (What song is that from?)

Griffin went Autograph Hunting #2

He also found himself Stevie Williams.

Who is that in the background? (trivia question of the day)

A Well Washed Noseblunt

Ed was ironically one of the last dudes taken to the Carwash. He had a blast and we even went two days in a row.

Suffer.

At A Wedding Recently...

...the pastor looked like Jamie Thomas. Trip out.

Ed Floats one over the hip in HB

Because it is the only place he ever skates.

LA's Sweet Spot

The Carwash Banks saw a bunch of sessions over the past couple years. It's one of Austin's favorite spots. Check Suffer The Joy and see what didn't make the cut.

Phases Of Grif

This is when he was being especially cuddly.

Open The Trunk To Your Life

Trapasso does and wonders when the new Suffer The Joy post will be up. Soon my children, soon.

Happy New Years!

Don't forget to kiss some girls this year, (or boys if you like...) J-Lay didn't.

New Years Are Meant to be Destroyed...

Destroyed by the sequence of actions you choose to make, -that define who you are.

Make good choices.

in 2008 you will look back on 2007 in ashes, smoldering, wrecked in your wake. It was your year.
