I recently went on a night ride w/ my good friend Alex Le Cas-barré. He brought along w/ him his Felt TK2 and a 6pack of Stella for the ride in his new Chrome Night Series Messenger Bag. He’s back home in Paris right now, but I can’t wait until he’s back in town so we can ride, and kick it in the new year.
Here’s a great photo of Jeff Dempler throwing a bar spin off of one of the ledges at Pier 7, one of San Francisco’s most famous skate spot. The moment after sticking this bar spin Jeff popped his shoulder out of place, and wasn’t able to ride for the rest of the night. Quite unfortunate considering he landed the trick like butter.
Here’s a bunch of leftovers and recent footage from 2011. It’s been a long year, we have some big things in store, and plan on making 2012 even more better. End of the world? Never heard of it.

We recently did a collaboration w/ our clothing sponsor, Breezy Excursion. This new limited edition “REAL TALK” Tee is available exclusively on their webstore, so head over there and get em’ while they last. It’s going to be a damn good year.
Here’s a screen shot from our group session in the city just before the holidays. Some of you may recognize the spot from Steven Jensen’s Skylmt edit, others might because the green ledges beneath the freeway is one of the best spots in SF.
We just put together & branded our first run of Wheel Talk T-Shirts, just in time for the Holidays. They run $25 a piece + shipping & handling, and come folded + poly bagged w/ custom sizing labels. Making them Wheel Talk Brand Tees not some re-branded Fruit of the Loom bullshit.They’re available in White On Black & Teal On White. Sizes are limited, so get em’ while they’re hot.
Yesterday a bunch of us met up in a parking lot across the street from the chrome store before we went out riding. We spent some time sessioning the parking lot, and this broken down Cadillac that was left for dead. Here’s a screen shot of Boothby stalling up on top the cab of the Cadillac.
