I’ve been going to see a lot of bands recently. It must be the perfect season for live music…or at least for the bands that I want to see visiting the Bay Area. On the afternoon of March 20, I was driving past the Fillmore and realized that the Kaiser Chiefs were playing. I suddenly realized that my friend Russell had mentioned this show weeks before and that I had been waiting until payday to buy my ticket. Unfortunately the box office was closed that afternoon but, that evening, I contacted Russell and we made our way to the Fillmore for some fun-na-na-na-na. Continue reading »

I Get By

 Joey Trisolini is the man! He shoots rad photos and he kills it on a skateboard. I first met Joey back in 2005 when I moved from SF to Hawaii for grad school and we have been friends ever since. We have skated tons of parks on Oahu, shredded the streets of Barcelona, and terrorized the streets of New York City, all with a healthy dose of nightlife thrown in for good measure. Joey recently published his first book of photos, Sometimes I Need a Little Help. Continue reading »

On February 23, 2012 I attended a Sleigh Bells concert in SF with at the Regency Ballroom with my friend Chris Julian. I can’t think of a better way to update superhappyfunwebsitedotcom.com than with a review of the show and some pics.

Tail skidder

We returned to the pink taco again a few weeks ago. The crew was small: just myself, Reynolds, and Lowcard Doug. I managed to capture Lowcard Doug mid front tail as the moon rose over the hills. Doug was also busting hurricanes and 5-0s. Radical! I’ve taught him well.

You know the nighttime...

Every now and then you have a dream that makes you wake up panting as though you had just experienced the most terrifying thing in your life. Wait, that doesn’t happen to you? Then you’re not human. Or maybe I’m not human. Who can tell at this point. Continue reading »

 

You must have all been very bored and sad these past few months without your daily posting from superhappyfunwebsitedotcom.com to keep you entertained. Well, this week marks the return of (hopefully) periodic updates to everybody’s favorite site. Launching the comeback is the return of Karaoke Knockout. And I can think of no one better to re-launch the video series than the man whose image inspired the segment, Mr. KK himself, Ken Kamimura.

Call of the Wild

A little over a week ago a group of us were skating Crocker when Lucha rolled up to the park in his family’s car. Doug didn’t waste a second. He pushed as quickly as he could out of the park and to Lucha’s car door. In not time at all, an executive decision had been made and an impromptu trip was organized with Lucha driving, Lowcard Doug in shotgun, and Magdiel, Viv, and myself in the backseat. The time: immediately! The location: the Pink Taco!  Continue reading »

You have all been patiently awaiting the video evidence to verify that either Lucha landed an air over Boy’s head or that Jason Cheng met his fate on a beautiful San Francisco day as his head was crushed under the weight of a rising star in the skateboard community. Well, wait no longer. Feast your eyes on this!

We roll deep

Yes, yes, I know. Everyone is sick of hering all about Crocker. “Crocker this” and “Crocker that.” But we have been expanding our horizons lately. We took that little excursion to Berkeley a few weeks ago, have been hitting Portrero more, and discussion of a trip to Pacifica is in the works. But every now and then it is important to step back, return home, and enjoy a fun little session at the park that made you the skater you are today. And we all know which park that is… Continue reading »

So sophisticated

A few weeks ago, a few of us from Crocker decided to expand our minds and enjoy the offerings of a different Bay Area park. I have always been a big fan of the park in Berkeley. When it first opened, I would wake up at 8, take BART to the East Bay, skate until noon, and then return to SF to go to work. Ahh, the good old days… Continue reading »
