Session: Paris BBQ

Summer was at it’s hottest point melting many of the skaters to the couch but not Paris Trucks. With the grill sizzling and the cerveza flowing, Paris got the momentum rolling and cooked up a BBQ for the crew with some rides up and down the hills ending at the beach. Not a bad way to end off summer.

Events: Hawaii Death Slalom

Wheel Turner Hawaii rounded up the crew for heads-up slalom racing. With a good slope and tight cones, speed control was the skill to master. The Caliber crew was out skating with the locals and joined for some island vibes.

Pete and Pat on the Pacific Coast

Unlike most people, skatehousemate and Landyachtz Legion of Shred rider Pat Schep doesn’t pop and lock his powerslides. He just kind of leans back until the skateboard starts sliding, then rides it out before he slows down too much. Rocking that style on sticky, resealed pavement like this can sometimes end badly, as the wheels tend to grip up unexpectedly; but Pat pulled this off straight out of the tour van, no problem.

Venom, Caliber, and Madrid pro rider “Slippery Pete” Eubank, on the other hand, has been known to lock that back knee out from time to time.

Crucial thanks to Paris Trucks for sponsoring the Up North, Down Hills tour.

Aprés-Skate Party at the Santa Barbara Arbor Shop


Wherein your favorite skateboarders have some beers and rudely yell “Free bird!” at the live band. The evening was kicked off by a session at this somewhat-janky mini ramp in Isla Vista. Kody has pop.

There was a several-month period during which I was the best ramp skater at the skatehouse. Then Louie learned how to stand up on his grinds. If he figures out how to take pictures, I’m so screwed. As the longboard dudes got tired of doing kickturns and frontside slasher grinds, the party moved to the Arbor shop.

Remember: always bring safety gear to the party. You never know when you’re going to need it.
