Rome Alaska Trip Part 1

Last week I got back from snowboarding in Alaska and have a bunch of shots to put up. Rome is doing a three part writeup on the trip so once thats all done, I will post them all here. Until then you can follow it yourself at

Good weather means more frequent updates in the future so start checking back again! Also, I have a Tumblr which I'm beginning to use more and more, so give that a little look-see.

Kickoff at the 3:16 bowl!

Tonight was the first night of the 3:16 bowl for the season. Lots of memories were left dormant, laughter remained only in the smiles of the young, and the FDR guys were ripping hard...at FDR. Despite all the odds, I snagged a couple photos from the night.

Striped shirts give you air.

I was so happy when this happened.

Alaska Update.

Got to AK a few days back and we lucky enough to get a beautiful day for our first day of riding. This is a shot from the outside of our RV yesterday morning. It's dumping on us right now and we have Wi-Fi for the first time this trip.

Mr. Anthony Tomasetti

Warm downs on the 4 Block.

Baltimore doubles and 5050s

Met some guys from Baltimore at the park.  Doubles and 5050s.

Mr. Matthew Francis Steindl

Went to the barn with Steindl. He's been killing the park recently.  I have a couple days off before I leave for AK and of course it rains/snows.  I guess park shots are better than no shots!

Mr. Neil Herrick

Neil is one of my favorite skaters.



Here are a couple shots from the footage that I got to take pictures of.

Is Brendan Woodard the best skateboarder ever?

Maybe! Here are a couple clips my bud Kevin McGovern put together.

Moon

The moon is closer to us now than it has in a while. I just got off work and snapped this on the way back home. It's a little smoggy in town right now so I may try again a little later tonight.

Slackinggg

I haven't been shooting much at all recently and it's beginning to bum me out. Instead of shooting more, I decided to post old photos, because that's basically the same as shooting new ones... right?

Anyways, here's an old ollie Neil shot for a Formation ad that never happened.
