Somewhere over the rainbow.

This weekend has been fun and sad. So Thursday, morning I went to work with Seattle. See what he does. Went to Cal Poly. These kids had a pin on their bags that said I heart CPP. I was like whats CPP. Some gang? Haha, and it was Cal Poly Pomona. Well Seattle returned a machine. That was all and left to skate. I stayed local for the skating. Met up at Fishes house and the homies were seshing the flatbar. I can’t even remember the tricks they were doing. But they were gnarly ass flip in-turn out shit. Bubba wanted to go film at this gap spot at a school down the street. So we hit up, got like 5 good tries then got the boot. Left to a 5 flat 5 then ledge spot, not too far from the school we were at. Was trying to get some footage in there. No luck with that, the sherrifs showed up and told us to leave. Went to McDonalds to have a chat and drink. The district manger or something was in town and decided to call the cops and escort us out. We didn’t even get a warning. I went to get a refill, but I heard the manager said that only one person buys something and like 15 kids sit there. I wasn’t around but if I was I would have spoke up. Maybe not everyone paid for their food but 11 out of the 16 kids that were there did eat something that was paid for. So after all the skaters scooted off, Seattle, Bubba, and I were standing on a corner across the street from the McDonalds. I wasn’t even on McDonald’s sidewalk property. The stupid bald sherrif tells me I have to leave. I didn’t even have my skateboard. So I told him, I’m just talking, trying to find out where I was headed to next, since I couldn’t do it in McDonalds. That’s why I’m here. He tells me that I have to leave and I asked why. The guy had nothing to say. He said something and I said excuse me. Got all mad and stepped out of his car and said, You’re gonna make me get out of my car. Haha, I just said forget it and walked off a little and he booked it all fast. Stupid bitch. Went to skate in some parking lot, had games of s.k.a.t.e., Veronica showed up and pick some kids up and left to the mall. I met her up with Seattle, Rothany, and Johnny. Went to the mall, Monica got new wheels. I showed up and asked her, What kinda wheels did you get? She replied, ” Hubba’s, they glow in the dark. I asked, what size are they. She said, there are sizes in wheels. Hahas. That was comedy. Left to The Hat and had dinner. Good times.

Friday, I went to Jesus’ pad and met him up. Bubba was already at his house. Left to pick up Monica and left to Bitely. Tried to catch Bubba’s trick down this gap. Jesus tried something too and his board shot out hitting the camera. But during his try I wasn’t kneeling I just freehanded it, so I reacted quick enough so the board missed the lens. It did take out the mic. though. But it wasn’t that bad, I was able to fix it up real quick. A lady come out and kicked us out, a few tries later. Left to Mark Keppel to film. Bubba got footage quick. Like 4 tries quick. After that we just stood around and talked. Then the custodians came to kick us out. Went to eat at Wendy’s chatted for a while. Called up Johnny and met him and Rothany up at the Santa Anita Mall. It was quick. Walked a cirle and then left. Went to drop off Monica and then waited at a gas station to meet back up with some homies. While I was at the gas station I seen a few friends. They were headed to the bowling alley. Just waiting for a friend to show up. Talked to them for a while. They left. Seattle showed up and we left to Lucky’s Super Market to get some drinks. Did just that and then left to a party. Showed up at the party. Started on my wizard stick. Made my way in and drank. Some haters started hating cause I accidentally spilled some beer. But, ehh, world needs haters. Well partied on till the cops showed up. They wouldn’t let us take the remaining beer with us so I went back and gave it to Richard. Went out and Bubba went back to look for something but we just walked back to leave. Then he wanted to take a piss and told Jesus to watch his back. Then Jesus decideds to pretend he was tagging on this truck. I guess the cops radioed each other and as were about to cross the street the cop came up and stopped all of us. Walked up to Jesus with his flash light and said, Hey you with the bandana come over here. We were all surprised and wondered why. Well we waited around to see if they were gonna let him go. So sad, they took him. Well we left to In-N-Out to meet up with some friends. I went in to In-N-Out. Seattle’s skating outside. Bubba was asleep in my car, well as I though. Well as I was in In-N-Out I met some nice kids and we took pictures had a chat. They left to some party. I went outside and my car is all fogged up. Go up to the car and my car was smoked. Ahh, hahas. Well after that we left home.

Then the next day I left to Bubba’s house to kick it for a bit. Then dropped him off at Beagles and they went skating. I left to Rothany’s house to chill. Then Seattle went to pick up Rothany to go to Beverly Hills. I left to the dentist to get my braces rewired. After that I came home and just chilled and made hot wings to grubb. Then Seattle, Rothany, and Johnny came by. They were abouts to hit up the mall again. I don’t know why but I went out there too. Walked a bit and went to sit and eat. Seen Jaslyn and Kirby. Chilled with them and left to dinner with my mom. It was her birthday. After that I came home. I had something to do. Picked up Bubba on my way to get gas and then got gas and met up Rothany at his house. I left to a party and got my drink on. Had so much fun and ended up in a parking lot. Chilled talked then made my way home.

Super Bowl Sunday was pretty bummed. I was home all day. I called out Giants was gonna win by one touchdown. I don’t know I just knew it. So I was home watching the game. Had a little company over by half-time. By the fouth quarter I left to Jorges to watch the last of the game. Giants won like I called it out. Came home and just stayed home for the rest of the night. Was gonna go skate but I was toasted.

Today I went out to skate with Bubba and Rothany like around 10. Went to some ledges here by home. It’s so sad to see a filmer’s dedication to skateboarding. Built ledges for skaters and kids have to destroy it. After the session, went to McDonalds to get a refill. Then went to the mall to walk around. I was at the book store and was looking at some mags. Left and dropped of Rothany. I went to Walmart to look for some chicken bites that Rothany had. But I couldn’t find them. So I went back to get Rothany to take him to Walmart to find them. Well I can’t believe I didn’t see them. Cause I didn’t even look where they were. Hahas, came home and cooked up those chicken bites. Grubbed and watched more videos on youtube. Wanted to session. We had to wait for Seattle cause the genny was going in his car. So we were going to try to get Bubba’s trip at Bitely again, but it was too dark. Went by Garvey and kids were there so we kicked it there. Seattle showed up and we were gonna go skate Evergreen but then decided to hit up some rail in San Marino. Got the genny just incase. But didn’t need it. There was light. Skated it for a bit and the cops showed up. Wrote down my info and let me go. I gave him a sick story about trying to gain exposure and all. Well left and then seshed some tile ledge. Came home and here now writing this. Imma go to bed now. Big day tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Beans

Today was my my friend Junior’s birthday. I started out the day meeting him up at McDonalds. Had a drink with him. Then David asked for a ride to pick up his girlfriend. So I took him got back and met everyone up back at McDonalds.

Got kicked out and left to Garvey school. Skated it for a bit. Had some more drinks.

Went to Gab to meet up with Rothany and Johnny. Hung out for a bit and dropped of Rothany at home. Came home with Jesus and grubbed a bit. Left to Beaner’s house to celebrate his birthday with him. The BULLSHIT fam. was in full effect.

After it all and now home eating dinner. MMMmm.

Yesterday was pretty bomb. Woke up ’round 11. Jesus called me up to go skate. Got up and was ready by 12 and got Rothany. Got Monica by 1. At the skatepark by 1:30 and seshed it for a bit. Daniel Shimizu from Stereo Skateboards was up in the park. So was Jon Rojas from 1031 Skateboards shredding up the park.

Left around 3, went to Taco Bell for a quick lunch. Meet up at Keppel 7 after lunch. Local skaters Adrian and Hector was there. Caught Hector hardflip down 7’s in less than 5 tries. That’s what I like. Skater hits me up to film or shoot, and has the trick in less than 10 tries. Clean hardflip too. Left to pick up the DVX came back to the spot and the skaters got the boot. Went down the street to a gap. Alvaro tried backside flip. No luck.

Met up at the Cruz pad. Donks Cruz showed up with a new set of wheels, some HIDs and a new knob. Pretty fresh. Rides coming together JDM conversion with the doors, seats, and front end. Waited to see if we could get a generator to skate Chino 4 block. No luck with that so went to West Covina’s skatepark to session there. Cops showed up and drove us to Baldwin skatepark down the street. This kid Victor, a homie of my homies was throwing down some gnarly hammers for the BULLSHIT to see.

After the skateboarding we all met up at McDonalds back here by home and had fun and a few laughs. Local homies Rudy, Rizo and BULLSHIT’s own Joey was on their way to Hollywood for some audition. Stopped by and said what’s up. They went on their way and we just chilled and ate or what not. Dropped everyone off and made my way home.

Today, I went to American Apparel this morning and got a few shirts. Came home and had lunch. Made a few phone calls. Went to the eye doctors to get a new prescription for my contacts. I haven’t been to the eye doctors in 3 years. Damn!

Came home and went to meet up Rothany, Seattle and Johnny at Gab. They left to the mall and I just came home. Chill day today.

It feels good when everyone reunites.

As far as I can remember. Sunday night after the Vegas trip, I called some friends and they were in Chino. Then we were supposed to meet up and skate but they went to Riverside instead. I heard a story about a marine pulling a shank on my friend Seattle. Asking him, “What’s your code?” So I just slept and got much rest for the rest of that night.

I can barely remember what I did on Monday. Had to ask a few friends and go through emails and messages to remember. I guess that day I had spoke to Seattle, and he told me to meet him up at Gab. Then go from there. Well I was at Gab for quite a while waiting for Seattle. Good thing I had a friend there that kept me company. Well that day we went to the mall and just walked around for a bit. After we skated the parking lot a little bit and called it a night a bit early.

Tuesday I went to the Girl office for their annual Girl Open House Invitational. Rothany and I went. I filmed it a bit. Practiced on my zoom. Not too happy with the footage I captured. I skated the park also. Had free In-N-Out. Thanks Girl. After we left to pick up Seattle and Candy. Then we went to eat Wendy’s. Left to Target bench and skated that. I had a Starbucks. It was way too cold for anything else. After the Target sesh. I dropped everyone off and came home.

Wednesday. I’m trying hard to remember Wednesday. I can’t seem to remember a thing. I think I picked up Rothany then Jesus. The Black Box open house was on Wednesday. I wasn’t sure and didn’t wanna make the drive out to Carlsbad for nothing. I think I picked up Monica and went to the mall. Then later on we met up Seattle at Gab or something. But Johnny was there for some reason. We left to a different mall and was at Spencer’s all night looking at their sex books. We left around 9 and, damn it’s so hard to remember exactly. Well the night was ending already.

So Thursday, was a fun day. Went to the mall with my camera. Shot a whole shit load of high aperture photos. A bunch of homies were there. Tried to get a mug of everyone. Shot like 400, but only 100 were good I bet. That night we went to skate our underground skatepark. Set up a cardboard gap. All the homies were there. Just after that dropped kids off and made my way home.

Friday we met up at Fishes’ house. Everyone was there. It was Jennifer’s birthday. I drove around a lot. First it was Johnny that wanted to go home to get his skate shoes and new wheels. Then I was at his house for a while with Crystal’s baby. Then when I got to McDonalds to meet up with the guys Beagle wanted a ride home to drop off his bike and get his skateboard. Jarrod wanted to pick up trucks and shoes from Rothany’s house. At McDonalds, I asked for a water cup and they wouldn’t give me one. So I asked Rothany to buy a cup. Then I went to the restroom to wash my hands. I came out and the lady was saying, ” Number 1 and Number 2.” I looked up and she looked at me and gave me the expression that the order was mine. So I said fuck it, and I grabbed the food. Munched down and left. Drove then after I ate I took that mission going to Rothany’s house to get trucks and shoes for Jarrod. Then went to Beagle’s house to pick him up. Jarrod wanted to set up his board there. So while I was there I filmed a little, “Welcome to my room.”, with Beagles room. He wanted to coinstar some coins so we were there for a while doing that. Finally met up with the rest of the guys and skated Garvey. After Jesus, Rothany and I were at McDonalds waiting for Seattle to get off work. Met him up and went to the mall cause he wanted some fresh denim. Did that and I can’t even remember what we did after.

Saturday was another fun day. We skated San Gabriel High. I filmed with a DVX. Oh my goodness that camera is so clean. Sam and Danny was at San Gabriel also. Shredding. I remember going to the mall cause I know I seen Alvaro. Then just going to skate with Alvaro and some other guys. I haven’t skated with Alvaro in a while. So it was down to see him bust. Skated the underground structure again. Then I drove Jesus and Alvaro to a party in South Gate. Pounded in the car then went in the party and pounded some more. I was so wasted. I remember trying to get in the party for free. I told the door, ” Luke Destroys, Team Bullshit, Dj Pinxx said for me to get in for free. Hahas. That was funny. Then was in the party for a little but shots after shots from friends. The cops showed up to shut it down and I was so drunk. I eventually had to drive home.

Today I was met up some heads at Wendy’s with Monica. Left to Burbank Middle School to film. Seattle got some footy down. Went to KFC’s after, didn’t eat. Then left to San Marino High and had an awesome session. Now I’m home. I’m trying to think. A warehouse. A skateshop. Like I want my own warehouse. I could do all my shit in and have a skatepark so the homies can chill and skate. Like Rothany said, “A skatepark with a table and like pizza or something would be dope.” That’s what I want! Ahhh.
Hungry gonna go look for food and knock out.

Johnny Warm-Up

So the photos are still not in but it’s getting there.
Here’s a quicky I made to test something out with Johnny.
