More random riding photos

This is Sunil and Sebass lookin’ like a couple of homos in front of Slayerville skatepark

I had a real big picture of this on my computer but I accidentally deleted it. Alexis (the photographer of said photo) also had the original but I deleted his shit by accident too.

This is me chillin with Platinum at the trails before her rapid weight loss. Platinum is a marijuana eating weimaraner owned by… you guessed it, Alexis.

This is a photo of my friend Marty back when I was a camper at Woodward in 2005. I always tell people who haven’t gone to Woodward as a camper that the fun is 70% the people you meet and 30% riding. I have met some of the craziest people at Woodward and am lucky to have been able to go.

This is an old ass photo of me doing what looks like is an irish jig mid-air but is actually a downside whip. I tried to go as high as I could on this one and immediately ate shit upon my attempted landing. The fall resulted in me fucking up my hand and not being able to ride for quite some time… something that is becoming more and more frequent. I really love riding but sometimes I wish I didn’t fall so much. This photo was taken by Ben Hittle.

Here’s P.S. 6 local Joe Stazzone doing some kind of skateboard stunt. I’m clueless when it comes to skateboarding but it boggles my mind how people can maneuver a plank of wood so well using only their feet.

Tom Espo took this photo of me at our beloved but now pile of shit skatepark. This photo is the reason I don’t grow my hair out any longer. Perhaps I should have looked in the mirror a little more often.

Another shot at what used to be a good skatepark of Spam, Paino and I. Alexis took this photo.

This is my buddy Dennis Dombrow. I met him at Woodward through my friend Kevin Tierney way back in 2002-2003. Dennis is one of the funniest people I have ever met. He moved from Chicago to Texas and lived with Aaron Ross and Chase Hawk. You can watch him slicing fruit with a samari sword at said house in a somewhat recent Props interview. One time at camp he was wrestling our counselor and nearly snapped his neck. Dennis can now be found fighting people in cages as a professional MMA fighter. You can follow Dennis on twitter @d_liciousD.

This sums up Augie pretty well, wild as fuck. Augie is an extremely talented BMX rider and one hell of a dude. Little known fact: Augie is actually Italian and not Mexican.

This place was heaven on earth for me. These are the legendary South Beach ramps. So much shit has gone down here, so many memories, so many friends and so many good times. I spent every minute I could riding and hanging out at these ramps. I wish I could go back and do it all over again.

Some Would Say Crazy or Obsessed.

Posted by Ed on Feb 13, 2011 in Featured, News, Photos | 3 comments

Some would say crazy or obsessed, I would say passion or love. Today 5 people started to clean snow off the ramps and flat ground at the Ben Soto skate park. This happened for 2 reasons: the first is that we have nowhere to go, and an indoor skate park is nonexistent. All we have on Staten Island is the Benjamin Soto skate park, which is currently in terrible condition. Secondly, Marie Carmody-LaFrancesca from Councilmen Oddo’s office has contacted the Parks Department and they stated that they planned to repair the ramps, but due to the weather conditions (snow on the ramps) they cannot. 5 of us started at12:30 PM, 5 turned into 8, then 10, then 15, and then 20. At the end of the day there were 25 bikers, skateboarders, scooter riders and mountain bikers cleaning the snow and ice off the ramps. 5 hours later, almost the whole park was cleaned off. I would like to say thanks to Nick for bringing an extra snow blower, and thanks to all the people who braved the wet snow and ice in 40-degree weather to clean the skate park. I have never seen a sport so bonded.

Ben Soto Skatepark gets plowed

Posted by Bupsy on Feb 13, 2011 in Photos | 0 comments

That’s right the Ben Soto Skatepark has been plowed and shoveled and is now 90% free of snow. The funny thing is that this was not done by people with parks department uniforms and equipment, but rather a group of 17-20 kids with their own shovels and snow blowers. Check the out the photos from today’s hard work below. The weather is supposed to be real nice this week so dust that bike off and come out to the park.

Snow blowers are fun, here’s Spam getting shit done.

Spam snow cumming.

Ed Pollio gathered the troops and cracked the whip.

Team work.

All of this shit is gone now…

Snow sucks and so does the winter.

Big thanks to everyone who came out to help.

Random iPhone Photos

Here are some random photos taken with my beloved iPhone 4.

Gizmo straight chillen on my couch. He is living the life.

This is a wall of garbage from after the snow storm.

Ed Pollio relaxing on Woodward’s cloud 9 spine mini after a long day of shredding.

I didn’t get this dude’s name but he was working at Woodward. Here he is risking life and limb for the entertainment of others.

I told Spam to look sophisticated. Maybe if he would buy a GHB Hoodie he would have pulled it off a little better.

Here’s a photo of the crew hanging out a the lovely Woodward lodge enjoying some fine PA pizza.

This is Ed and Shane thinking of the best way to get kicked out of this crowded ass bar. Shane ended up with the the foolproof plan of smacking one of the blown up photos multiple times which resulted in him being kicked out faster than I’ve ever seen at any bar.

Like I said, this place was crowded as shit.

Get it together in Brooklyn.

I made these turkey meatballs over spaghetti while Mary was out of town. It was delicious.

This is Alex at Shields skatepark looking like an asshole.

This is from the imported footage of all those old tapes. That is Alexis shaving his eyebrows off for some small sum of money.

This is a photo of a baby taking a photo. The baby in the picture is Guy’s and he goes by the name of Van.

Here’s an edit from 4 years ago by Paino featuring himself Spamulous and Garret Reynolds.

After doing the post about Spam I decided to check out Paino’s YouTube page. The first video I found was gold.

The first thing I think of when I hear the name Spam is his Volvo with the oreo knobs for the AC.

11 dudes Sheild's session

Posted by Ed on Jan 4, 2011 in Photos | 0 comments

So after we went to Legend Bikes Shop on New Years day there were 11 dudes and nowhere to go, so we called Sheilds Skatepark and we weaseled our way into the skateboard session, thanks Aaron!

Here are the some of the photos David and I shot.
