hmmmm,i dont know how i feel about this.

Thanks to www.brooklynprojects.com

I got a sneak peak at my favorite skate companies new products..... SHOES!?
why?
i Heard this rumor a while ago but did'nt really believe it at first but i guess its confirmed.

Im really torn on this cause i used to love Habitat until ironically it was bought by the one snowboard company i hate....BURTON

But then again, i wear Nike sb's so im being a huge hypocrite when it comes to corporate companies in the business.

I still love Habitat but i haven't gotten one in over a year, im just trying out some other companies i guess.

The first look sick though, but thats cause there just the Janoski's with a habitat logo, which i must say, i do like. i guess ill see them when they come out but until then im still buying Tributes and Roger skateboards. Id get a Reliance or Siren board but i can't find them anywhere around portland,so if someone see's Siren Or Reliance deck, let me know.

Hmmm, well ive been having this weird epiphany of sort, and now im going to NYC for my schooling and im actually quite happy with it.

It snows there,not everyones an actor unlike LA, there are seasons, theres a big irish community?,theres pizza,spiderman,mass-transit,small semi-cheap apartments and numerous other reasons why i like it over LA.

Whats funny is i have never even been to the east coast and i am most likely gonna be eaten up, but it'll make me a stronger person so i need this.

It is sad though, i wont get to hang out with my friends in la, but i guess they can always come to NYC.
sorry mooby.

I dont even know people in NY besides like 2 kids i went to high school with.
I want a new experience though and i wanna be on my own,away from my family and experience another side of the country. ive lived all over the west, so its time i try and live in the east. Plus i dont hate every sports team in NY unlike La,but thats really not saying much, They just have more teams that i dont care about.

It will be fun though and im very excited,so lets all hope i get a job at whole foods,work,then go to school and get on with ma life.
:)

Oh yeah, my best friend since the first day of High-school moved back to Denver this past weekend

:(

He needed a change though, Vancouver sucks so i dont blame him.

Ima fly out sometime this year to see the blazers beat the nuggets at the nuggets arena and its gonna be SIIIIIIICK.
Ill also skate the Denver park if its not snowing.

My lifes gonna get alot better soon,but until then i just gotta wait.
sigh....

new post like a week late.i suck.who cares

WHAT!
frostons on the sw00sh?

i guess it makes sense.
he is a giant celeb in the business,nike can pay him alot more.
its cool i guess,but in a way im kinda sad about it.i love nike sb but there just getting to big.sigh,ill probably start skating vans again or maybe try etnies.i guess ill see what happens.you never know,he could just be testing them out to see how he likes em but by the look of it,it seems official.
if you look in the way back too,i think its compton.

this is him,i filmed this in november.
it was tight.

damn,lately ive been feeling really depressed.the sun is out,well not right now,its actually cold and cloudy but the last few days it was sunny and i just layed around miserable.i dont try to be,but im just stressed.
im trying to go to school this july,i have no job,i need a cosigner,my mums in alabama,i keep getting hurt skating,i feel like i broke my thumb,gta is pissing me off because it froze and didnt save a mission and i flipped out.
gosh,so much dumb stuff.
i also watched Begotten and since then i went down this spiral of depression.
its fkcin twisted and depressing.
i dare you to watch the first 10 minutes.
it makes cup chicks look like a romantic comedy.
its not that its gross,which it kind of is,but its more just visually disturbing.


pretty much god kills himself with a straightrazor,mother earth pops out of him and pretty much gets his child juice in a particular fashion and impreganates herself and gives birth to what is supposed to be jesus.He is born into a desolate world of depression and death and theres cannibals running amok.
:) cool right?
fuck no.

scurry.

watch it,and tell me what you honestly felt like when you watched it.

its just weird

well,im trying to be happier.
im not "emo"
im just going through a semi-mid-life crisis at 20 and soon ill be in la going to school so i shouldnt worry.
i just wish i didnt have to wait.
oh wells.

p.s. im goin on a mofkcin grapefruit diet.
:D
siiiiick.

p.s.s. im on twitter if you didnt know.but i doubt you kids care:?
:?equals question mark face.he looks confused.?
idk

p.s.s.s. james,ill give u your dang polaroid when i go to the park next.ma bad.

a day in the city

where i used to live
:(


so today i woke up at 9 and hopped right in the shower so then i was naked and wet.
and your probably thinking,weiiiiirddd. The night before at about 10pm i got on xboxlive and told james and nick we were going skatin in portland tommorow and it would be so fun.
so we did.
nick had a broken board and pondered at what he could do

We called cals pharmacy and no one picked up
so we went over to industrial ride shop in the mall.
for the 2nd time in a row i got a stupid guy trying to sell me stuff i dont need.
the first time was this kid with glasses who was trying to sell me an 8.25 toymachine and said
"yeah dude, all my friends can tre-flip perfectly on it" and nick lund said in a smirky dick way
"your friends brah? your friends can tre flip" and it was awkward cause we saw him later in the week at our park and he was trying to do impossible up the step-up
the 2nd guy(today) walked into work after we had nicks board set up and me and james started talking about A HAPPY MEDIUM and how it was the best video in that shop
the guy with a dgk shirt,giant dc's and dc hat and a stud belt then replies too us
"oh have you seen fully flared yet"?
wtf kind of answer is that
yes.i have
cause im a human
geeeze
james chuckled and the manager kind of laughed
a second later i said, well have you seen a happy medium and he looked confused and said yes?
and then all of a sudden was like "have you seen almost round 3 yet? and i said YES like 4 years ago.shiiiit.james then bought a taildevil,which he made look awesome.but
i then lost all respect for the only shop that looked decent in the mall
we walked out and then started on our way to portland

we got on the max, james 360flipped with his taildevil,sparks a-flew and we kept skating.
we stopped for a bridge shot and got probably the fakest picture ive ever taken


we then went to nw 23rd and i got hustled for a dollar by a little kid and nick and james said i was too nice and i wasnt man about things
it sucked i came to a realization that i was a pussy in a way and then we went to get pizza at escape from new york and there was the sign from god.
ERIK IS A BIG PUSSY!

so of course we got a photo
we went skating through the day and went to a ledge by the suuuuppper secret nike park

NICK DID AN OLLIE AND THEN A BACK-NOSEGRIND!


he was so psyched on his skateboard maneuver he performed on his official GIRL (RED) skateboard that he posed for the campain

GOOD FOR YOU NICK!
and then we kept skating
but then stopped to get a photo outside that super secret nike park

im sure john motta's been here
but then
we ran into compton who didnt even say hi....(jerk)

i filmed this too.
a nice high five would have been nice
but oh wells.
but anyways
earlier that day somehow the joke of the day was
IN THIS ECONOMY!
examples of the joke.....

HOW can you give away money!?
in this economy

i stubbed my toe.
IN THIS ECONOMY!?

pretty much anything, tack on IN THIS ECONOMY?!
and you have a joke only the three of us can understand.

we started going home and eventually got to the max stop at ikea and went to skate a bank to wall
unfortunately there was hella rocks and dirt from the snow storm and this happened to james

we laughed when he hit his head
we eventually went home and now im writing this useless blog that no one will read
SHIIT GUYS TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
ima be famous someday
but in this economy!?
yeah you dont understand
gooodnight
