#vans off the wall
I was taking part in an Erasmus+ project in Kobuleti, by the Black Sea. One day I went to the beach to take some pictures of the sunset, but I found this abandoned hotel and I ended up exploring the swimming pool area on the ground floor. I didn’t venture upstairs tho. There were stray cows eating grass in the surroundings. Kobuleti, Georgia 2015

Tyson Peterson Goes Pro For Baker
Yesterday in Griffith Park Los Angeles the Baker boys threw a picnic to announce their newest addition to the team, Tyson Peterson. Tyson’s name was looking good in the Baker font as “The Boss” Andrew Reynolds presented his board to all of Tyson’s close friends and family. Chick-Fil-A, Tyson’s favorite, catered the event with Cactus Cooler and Tecate being the beverage of choice. Head to your local shop and be the first to grab Tyson Peterson’s newest Baker model hot off the presses. Congrats on going Baker 4 Life, Tyson!

Cowtown’s PHX AM 2019 Finals
The heat turned up literally and metaphorically for day 2 of Cowtown’s 18th annual PHX AM at the Desert West Skate Plaza. 1st place qualifier Tanner Van Vark got the golden ticket to the finals where he put on a wallie circuit on the hubba. AZ local Lazer Crawford had the crowd on his side with his huge ally oops airs & hardflip back lips down the handrail but it was Brazil’s Giovanni Vianna who stole the show with his insane trick selection like Cab FS noseslide & half cab (the hard way) nosegrind down the hubba that got him to the top of the podium. Thank you to all of the spectators and all of AMs who came from far and wide to compete this year. A very special thank you to Cowtown Skate for always hosting such a great event, well see you next year!

Thrasher Death Match 2019 Day 3
Last Saturday capped off three days worth of rock, rap & ramps at Thrasher Magazine’s Death Match in Austin, TX. Cash For Tricks went off on the mini ramp with the addition of the Daniel Johnston inspired extension that had Chris Russell & Roman Pabich doing some eye gouging inverts. The Viagra Boys brought their Swedish showmanship to the stage before Austin psych torchbearers, The Black Angeles, kicked up dust for their home crowd. Living legend and Austin’s original rock tripper Roky Erickson was the festival headliner and brought to life 13th Floor Elevator hits like “Levitation” & “Reverberation” before closing with a crowd pleasing “Two Headed Dog.” Thank you everyone who came out to Thrasher’s Death Match to skate the ramp and jump in the pit, you made it another memorable year!

Thrasher Death Match 2019 Day 2
A heavy mood was cast over day 2 of Death Match after the news of Thrasher Magazine’s Jake Phelps’ passing. All of the logos were stripped from the mini ramp, painted black and then shredded by close friends for 30 minutes in a passionate session to honer the late great Phelps. The multi talented Na-Kel Smith got the crowed fired up on the main stage with some stage diving antics before Vans Skate team favorite Tommy Wright III shook things up right after. NYC’s City Morgue brought their genre blending brand to Austin and scared a few parents in the process before Del the Funky Homosapien closed down day 2 with jams from his Deltron 3030 album and finished with the Gorillaz hit “Clint Eastwood”.
