A house

Just been spending time with the girl. shooting, bowling, and dog shopping. good at the first and the last, she's not so great at bowling... but i'm ok never bowling again.... not exactly my favorite activity either. quick pic of us and my new house... get to move in Very soon! Full walkthrough of the house will be posted within the next couple weeks!

:)

Nothing much has happened since the last post. Just bought a house, got a raise, transfered jobs, and met someone pretty awesome. Of all that stuff, the only thing I even care about is that pretty awesome person. I've been pretty anti relationship for a while and just dating to date. Tried pretty hard to not like her but that just wasn't happening. I'm pretty stoked how everything just happens and has been so effortless. That's not something I'm used to...

suurfing

Getting better.

finally getting up to V4's.

Cali.

I love going back to Cali. Much needed vacation. Spent thursday night in Hollywood, Saturday night @ Cypress Hill Concert. Travis Barker played. Alex takes good care of me everywhere we go it's always by limo. The food here is epic. Stoked to go watch Jackass 3D. Not so stoked that movie tickets in LA are 20$. Went to 2 of LMU's Volleyball games and got rowdy. Met a cute girl thursday night, smart Philosophy grad. Haven't enjoyed a conversation that much in a long time. I've been getting some orders for skate shops so i'm happy. need to seriously focus on some homework when i get home and i'll definately need to work off all this food i've been eating out here. I could see myself flying back very SOON. Here's some pics and videos. Travis Barker, Cypress Hill, and deadmou5 - soo goooood.

Nemo

Sooo... Nemo just shed and his color was way freakin bright. thought it was pretty cool.





oh and i about landed a gainer onto some thingy..

Grand Tetons

Road Tripped again this weekend. videos and pics to follow

Yellowstone

Cousin Ryan moved to Idaho. Went to visit him and we took a trip to Yellowstone. Also went on a tour of a potato farm. picture and videos...

Catching up to me.

So school and everything else is starting to catch up to me. I've procrastinated a little too much. Since that last post I skipped class Wednesday to go to a concert, and haven't done ANY homework. I went rock climbing and ripped up my hands. I really just taking it slow is something I can do. I woke up super early this morning to get as much of my homework done as possible before my family gets in from out of town. I've also been putting in hours again with my company. I hired an old friend to do some promotion and find skaters to sponsor. His drive and excitement was a little contagious and I'm back to trying to push the company in the right direction. One of the Skaters that he found is skating our grip today at the Dew Tour and I'm pretty sure we are going to pick him up for a full Sponsorship. Other than all that, everything else is pretty much the same. Oh, and Nemo is now over 2 feet long but still pretty skinny. He eats a ton tho! Here are some pics. One is a pic of BeardO. Funny Concert, and Ya, his hair is real.

Good morning

Woke up and went boating. weather was nice. Kinda worried it's going to get cold soon. I'm thinking I should go a week without doing some sort of impact sport. most of my body is scratched, cut, or bruised from everything and I think my body is going to just quit repairing itself. I think I'll take this time to get ahead in school. This has been the longest time I've spent in Utah in about 3 years, therefore, a vacation is in order. Halloween in Santa Monica? yes I think so. Here's videos from the boat this morning.

School is way easier than I remember. I still have to put the effort in, but I actually enjoy it. And staying home and not traveling has made it a ton easier to pick up on new hobbies and start new ones. I got my membership to the Quarry back and I've been trying to get back to the skill I had a few years ago. Staying in the same place made it difficult to keep up on hobbies and working out, but has made it a ton easier quitting some habits and cutting back severely on others! Which the combination of new good habits and less bad habits has resulted positively on my lifestyle And my body! I benched over 200 lbs for the first time ever a couple weeks ago and I'm on track to hopefully be putting up 230 by winter!!
I'm getting better at dirt biking as well, I pulled my first no footer jump yesterday. Not working is great, but getting used to not having lots of money rolling in is a little hard, but i wasn't happy then, and I am now, so i say stay away money!

SUMMER

Going to school full time, not traveling anymore, and enjoying summer.

Little Nemo

So... I've had a lot of pets these past few years, but i've kept just one. Nemo is my favorite He's an Albino Tangerine Milk Snake. He's a great eater and has an awesome color! I just got some live plants for his house. here's some pictures.

Been a while.

It's been a while since I truly let go and enjoyed riding my longboard... but tonight was a rare night. I was originally supposed to spend it babysitting for my sister which I didn't mind. She happens to have 2 of the greatest kids ever, but she ended up staying home tonight.
I got a call from an old friend about carpooling up to a concert in SLC then possibly boarding a bit. We parked about 10 blocks away to avoid crowds from the concert. We were already late so we found ourselves speeding down SLC streets dodging traffic on our longboards just to catch the last few songs of the headlining band.
Afterwards we drove up to the top of the University of Utah as far up the mountain as we could go. My friend led us on a path that ended up being the longest i've ever ridden on a longboard. We road straight down to down town SLC . it was almost 1 by the time we finally stopped to turn around and head back uphill... which ended up taking a lot longer than i had expected. It ended up being a great night. (Other than the fact my toe was killing me from an earlier accident during volleyball)

here is a video of part of the path we took.

Sacramento

Just got home from a good week in Sacramento, thought i'd show ya the footage of the week.

This first video is the view out of the airplane.



I got in and went out to find some good local music.



The view of Sacramento @ super early in the morning



Getting all suited up for the event



Here's a quick shot of the 100 person room we worked with this week.



I happened to walk past a wedding in the progress... looked like fun



So I flew home the 24th and got in as a block party was going on and i wanted to get home asap... 17 minute drive for me from the airport to my house.

Sunkist and flying chairs.. Sacramento

Golf

Perfect weather for golfing. Haven't hung out with my bro in a long time.

My hair is getting long.

2 weeks home

So I had 2 weeks off from the road. I felt the need to fly my cousin to utah from indiana. and the following pics and videos are a result of 3 days with Ryan in Utah. I've got lots of scrapes, bruises, cuts, I had to pull a couple bb's out of my skin, and a slight concussion. Needless to say, we had a blast.

Dallas

So this is my last week out with Val. She is prego and will be leaving the road for good. So I'm glad to be with her on her last week. Also, we randomly have a larger than normal group so that's making it pretty fun. Jason, Jeremy, and Spencer are also out here. The weather is borderline crazy. I can't believe people would willingly spend there lives in this climate. The work is the same. Last night we ventured out to my favorite place Buffalo Wild Wings. I've become a fan of the Honey BBQ Chicken Salad. Today we drove past the new Stadium... It's INSANE! It's crazy big and that screen is just begging me to play some Call of Duty! I'm off the next two weeks. I'm loving the time off. I get to take on the challenge of developing my own company while having tons of time to start new hobbies like dirt biking!

my new bike

Just got myself a 525 KTM. It's way too big for me.. i have to hop on like it like it's a horse.
