BBQ Mini Ramp Night Shoot

Last week I held another BBQ at my house for my friends and co-workers. I was busy cooking up burgers for everybody while they were skating and drinking some beers. But when the sun went down I lighted up my ramp so I could have a night shoot on it. Mark was the photographer and brought out his camera to get some cool shots. So me and Casey did a couple tricks to get some photos. Casey got this sick frontside boneless that was easily a couple feet out of the ramp. Off the camera he was doing lots of sweet lines to. I got a couple cool shots you can check out below. After we finished up skating we drank and played beer pong for the rest of the night. Thanks to everybody that came out and had a good time!!

Hawaii

My parents took me and my sisters down to Maui for a family vacation before we all had to go back to school. The weather down there was 30+ degrees everyday so needless to say i got a very good tan from it. We checked out a lot of different beaches and different shops. I brought my surfboard with me but unfortunately I could only surf one day cause there weren't any waves to the beaches we went. We did some snorkeling and that was really cool, saw all different kinds of fish and turtles. Maui is a good place to just kick back and relax.
