Back in Portland, San Diego was getting way too hot.

Lance's Was Better

2008-09-22T20:16:00.000-07:00

Went up to Bear this weekend for the annual fall boarding contest. I am pre-season partied out. Fact.

Nick had a bruised heel so after one run in the "comp" he got back into regular clothes got three tallcans and tried to sell his board. He drew a beer and a joint on the for sale sign. It didn't help sell it though, he didn't even really try. All his crap is in the back of my truck still ... again.

Stomp The Snakes

2008-07-28T23:24:00.000-07:00

JP got four "Premiere Club" tickets to the Padres/D-backs game last night from Nixon. Cruised down with him, Chicken and Chick's friend Jordan. I usually never watch games when I go, but I did and it went off. Homers, deep catches, dollar dogs, broken bats, Trevor Time, fireworks, and a W; all topped off with free Cesar Milan (The Dog Whisperer) posters on the way out, I snagged two if anyone needs one.

Whistlers Burning

2008-07-18T21:08:00.001-07:00

Today was the last day on hill at Camp Of Champs in Whistler. Shredding was all time, rolled boulders off the top of the mountain and had a couple sodas with Nick, then lounged by the lake while Diamond, Fern, and Johannes played with lighter fluid; and tonight is the ender-ender party. Perfect.

Boot fire.

Bad Tooth

Photos: Joe Carlino

JC: You should do an update about my face. I fainted the other day and landed on my face. I broke my tooth and got stitches in my chin, had to go to the hospital and shit.

No way! What happened?

I donno, I rode to the deli then thought I was going to throw up so as I was walking to the bathroom I passed out and landed on my face they found me in the bathroom. I broke my tooth again which sucks, then I had to go to the hospital to get tests done.

Are you ok? What did they say?

Yeah I’m feeling better. There was no real reason, it just happened I guess

Was that the same one you broke in Mexico?

Yeah same shit.

Whistler B.C.

2008-07-13T20:27:00.000-07:00

Finally made it up Whistler yesterday, I've never been here before. Eddie picked me up in the morning in Vancouver and we got up here mid afternoon after a mellow cruise. We saw some deer and a bear from super far away off the chair today, but I'm holding out for a cougar—the animal not the middle aged woman. The weathers perfect, the snowboarding's fun, the beaches are going off, and a bunch of friends are in town so the hanging is all time.

San Diego Fair

2008-07-07T01:13:00.000-07:00

It used to be called the Del Mar Fair but in any event I went down there today with Lo and her friend Cory. It was the last day of the fair, and it's been about five or six years or so since my last visit. It was a bit of a time warp, I used to go there pretty much every year growing up.

80s Heat

2008-07-04T14:21:00.001-07:00

Rode from Liam's down to 80s heat last night, Cote DJ'd and all the babes were out. It was amazing and I felt like kind of an asshole for not dressing up.

Fives

2008-07-01T13:01:00.001-07:00

Lance must have been really bored, and decided to send me a Top Fives to fill out for the Ashbury blog. Check it out if you are as bored as Lance.

Here are a couple ideas Joe gave Lance for my Fives. Also included were "5 songs to make love to" and "5 ways to be alone forever".

Mustache

2008-07-01T12:51:00.000-07:00

Would you? I'd been bugging Jav for three weeks to shave the beard and leave the stache. It finally went down on our last trip to Hood, and it was glorious. Oh and you would, for sure.

Get Some

2008-06-25T18:49:00.000-07:00

Followed Bryan on a mellow cruiser lap with my broken Elph through HCSC at the end of the day.

All Hood

2008-06-25T18:36:00.001-07:00

Made my way up to Mt. Hood last week with Jav, Nick Dirks and Jarad Hadi. Super fun up there right now, lots of snow, lots of homeys, and the BLL's [Bud Light Lime] are still flowing. We stayed down in Welches at Jarad's parent's amazing house in the woods, crazy old growth trees and two rivers converging in the backyard. It must have been so amazing that i forgot to take a photo of it, ouch. We mostly hung with Pashley, Littlest, Arnie 5000 and the french Rossi intern Merrick, who was refferred to exclusively as "Vageric" I didnt get a picture of Vageric either, kind of blew it there. The last cool thing that I did not get a picture of was the $300 some dollars that I won off Scotty Arnold in a few heated games of C Lo—thanks homey! Most of these pics are already on Snowboarder, but there's a few extra in there that didn't make the cut. Oh and I just got a new camera 'cause I focused the screen on my trusty old Elph first day at Hood, so I should be good for some more pics soon, we're heading back up to the mountain tomorrow.

Lime Time

2008-06-25T18:29:00.001-07:00

The NW has been treating me so good, I decided to extend my stay another week bringing the grand total of weeks in Oregon to three. Three has been my favorite number for a while now, so that works out pretty well. Oh have you had Bud Light Lime yet? It's the best thing going right now, and I've probably had about 100 of them, it's for sure the official beer of summer. We're on them pretty much everyday, last week Jav and I got a sixer of those bad boys and cruised downtown Portland with them in paper bags true hobo style, it was good.

Just a mellow toy horse chained up to the street in downtown P Town.

Lime Time on Jav's porch again. Look at him ... he loves it.

Monitor Tan

2008-06-13T16:08:00.000-07:00

Java's porch, it's way better than my old office, and the phrase "monitor tan" has taken a whole new meaning.

Shortest Straw

2008-06-13T15:38:00.000-07:00

Been hanging with the Grenade guys the past couple days, they're up here in P Town doing the skits for their new movie The Boned Age. They've put a lot into this stuff and I everything else throughout the winter, the movie is going to be rad when it comes out. They're keeping it fun. Danny had the wonderful idea yesterday to draw straws and the drawer of the shortest straw would get to powder up Anna a.k.a. Baby Cakes' chest for one of the scenes, I think she's on Rob & Big or something, no big deal and you know who got that straw, son.

PDX

2008-06-11T11:18:00.000-07:00

Just got into Portland last night via two super tiny/bouncy airplanes. I've been lucky over the years with the whole airline lost my bag deal until last night, Delta lost my clothes bag so all I have is dumb snowboard stuff which isn't really doing me any good at all. Staying at Java's house which is rad, he set me up with a little room and everything. Got a '09 Subaru Forester rental bad boy which I thought was pretty cool until Meyer reminded me that those are the #1 choice for lesbians in Portland ... but I think he just bought one last year, so I don't know how that works. Jokes on him? But it's rad to be in the city, and I'm psyched to hang with some friends and make a little party up here.View out the plane window about 400 miles outside Portland.

It might attract the wrong girls, but it's cool, I'l take what I can get.

Jav's sweet digs in P Town. The porch is good for hanging.

Boz Is Back

2008-06-10T10:39:00.000-07:00

Bozung flew back in from Australia, in true Boz fashion he bailed the day before the Mt. Buller opened. I met up with him in Laguna fresh off the plane and hung for a while at Celia's drinking bad boy sodas, the Laguna Beach loc' Keegan rolled through too. It was good times. Nate was sunburnt as hell, heavily buzzed and newly single—a spicy babe came down from LA to hang with the Nuts and I think the combination worked out well for him, duh.Nuts and Cy, the main BozWreck filmer/editor.
Nate got his "Give Thanks" weed leaf turned into a turkey, its the ultimate Thanksgiving tattoo now.

Sunset Beach

2008-06-10T10:07:00.000-07:00

Got all romantic with Lolo and a sunset bottle of wine split between two discrete plastic cups at the Fletcher Cove the other day and I'm pretty sure I saw the green flash, no big deal. A swimmer was killed by a Great White shark there about a month ago, pretty heavy. Then we met up with Jamie for dinner at Bestawan in Cardiff, it was tasty.
