It's a little out of order, but part two of my PHX trip actually took place in San Diego. Thrasher and vans sponsored a Zine Thing event, and since I write the column I flew out to check it out. Details on that below, but the best part of the trip was going to this pipe in east county the following morning with a couple friends. It's a low-key spot near a reservoir, and above is my buddy Craig Houston around 10 o'clock. After a quick session, it was run to the airport to catch my flight back to PHX.
Left a little evidence...
As someone else had? Vintage Road Riders sticker?
But back to the day before... got to the event just as Sam Hitz was setting up the Larb display. Oozily eerie.
Dr. Larb!
Tod Swank had a shit ton of killer stuff in his collage, including some choice clippings.
Killer photos from Ed and Deanna Templeton.
When I arrived, there was some time to kill. I met Andy Jenkins and his son Emmett, and they offered to take me to the Oceanside skate park to roll around a little. Andy did the comic Wrench Pilot in TWS and has done some killer art over the years, super cool dude and it was a blast skating. Thanks guys!
The deadbeat Club had some kill photos too.
Rich Jacobs is working on some skate zine history, and had a collage of some legendary stuff on there.
One last look at that pipo grande! Thanks a million to Rhino and Debbie, always killer to see you two and thanks once again for the crash spot! Thanks to Thrasher and Vans for the killer event! Great to see Michael Burnett -- shit homey, forgot to take a photo of your photos but the skate dad photo rules! Got to see East Coast legend Keith Lenharr for the first time in years and shoot some shit, and hang out with Sam!
