Had an interesting trip up to SF. I grabbed the van and picked up Ball, Ghost, and a couple homies and we drove up friday morning. We stayed at our friend Kyle's house, who lived 3 blocks from wallenburg, so that was sick. The contest was crazy. Ghost was ready to get down on the big four, but, it was complete chaos. Phelps was kicking a bunch of people out. Ghost would have got that sw pop shuv! After the contest, we met up with Sean Peterson. He showed us around to all the standard SF spots. Most of the spots had already been killed years ago, but we hit up a couple decent spots. We got back to our friend's house only to find that the toilet was flooded, and the whole place smelled like shit. So we decided to just head back home. On another note, i left my camera at a bar, so i didn't have it for a whole day. But i got it back. We'll be back SF.

Shaun White came by the office to skate the ramp. There was a huge movie production team there filming for a new 3D XGames movie. Shaun busted out, and Atiba was there shooting. Ya Shaun, back shredding on the board.

Check out Birdhouse's newest, Jon Rob! His mag minute is straight gnar. Putting AZ on the map. Check it here:

1. MO or CA:   MO in the Spring and Fall,  CA summer, AZ winter. Transient life is trife sometimes but at least the weather is nice.
2. Flannels or Leather:   Flannel chaps.
3. Budweiser or Coors:  Schlafly 
4. Skate  a rail or skate some stairs:  I'll take the rails.  They're just skinny bank ramps right? 
5. Wrestle Ball wasted or Room with Loy:  which personal hell do you prefer sir? door A or door B?
6. Filming or Shooting a photo:  I like to get them both over with at the same time if possible. 
7. Skating around home or On a trip:  Skate at home until wanderlust gets the best of me. 
8. Game of flatground skate David or Jaws:  I'll give myself an S-K-A-T handicap and play both of them.  And, no, that doesn't       count, i'm not giving you another rebate.  Sorry.  Just kidding, it may not be the prettiest thing but they can both hold their own.    They'll get some pop once they get run over by the puberty train.  I wish I still had rubber knees though, that only gets worse with time.
9. Fastfood or home cooking:  home cooking.  cmon.
10. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater or EA Skate:  I used to play THPS all the time when I was younger, haven't really played the EA one but it looks weak.  Was that enough brown-nosing to get my own character birdman?
11. Beer before liquor or liquor before beer:  Its all going to hurt in the morning.
12. Dolphin flips or variel flips:  can't do either worth a shit.  If you have a good variel flip, lets see it.  Thats a rare beast.
13. Myspace or facebook:     OMG like facebooks fuuurr days, LOL, lamespace is, like, so '06.
14. Bird Flu or Swine Flu:  SARS
