This day was on a weekend day after working about 5-6, 12-16 hour days. I believe it was the following Sunday. My good friend James saw me drunk as a skunk sitting on the couch that day. He says, “Beektown, what the fuck are you doing drinking when I want to go shoot photos at the pool.?!!!”. I replied, “Chill bro, it’s my day off”. He then dragged my ass to the pool & said, “Alright drunky, now go skate that fucker!!!”. I then looked at him with a smirk on my face, pointed to the sky and said, “Skyyyz”, and dropped in. These photos are just a few of the many James shot that day. He has a gifted eye for imagery. I can honestly say that if it weren’t for James, I wouldn’t have shredded that Sunday. In today’s starving economy and me being the beekman that I am, always biting off more than I can chew, my plate overflows with work leaving me never knowing when I get to ride again. I wanted to add this post to say thank you. To Graham, Mike & James for giving me an outlet to express myself & for pushing me to keep pushing on my board. I have been skateboarding longer than a lot of you have been alive and I truly hope to inspire you to do as I do. Skate hard & never stop.!!! The sky is the limit.

Check out my old homie Curtis’ website. He just had a photog / art show in Tokyo, Japan. I’ve known him since he was in kindergarten. We’ve kept in touch & are still friends after all these years. It was nice to catch up with him. He is truly living the dream. Good Shit Curt Dogg.!!! We gonna shred soon

That’s my old homie Clark on the front page. Just proud of these dudes, they’re always on a good one

I shot this low key interview & performance a few years ago. It was going to be used for a pilot for a TV Show called Clockwise. I still want to do another show concept. I like shooting artists. This was an awesome night & I got to see some really cool original art in the VIP rooms but that footage you cannot see ; )

I had an awesome Thanksgiving weekend in Hollywood this year just as I do every year!

Enjoy these images of BARRY McGEE aka TWISTER’s work in his Los Angeles Gallery.

I saw one of his pieces worth $450,000 and had a dead bird applied to it.

Very trippy, I recommend you all go see it.

Check out some of my old footage. If you keep skateboarding like I have, you may look back on your old footage as a time capsule. Kind of like a video yearbook. It makes me think of the great times I had with my friends & will continue to have living in the spirit wave of switch heels & dolphin flips… Grab a board & shred it, And feel good about it.
