update....quick clip

so I just started work again in the lab.
It's pretty awesome but hard work. we have roughly 25 to 30 new students and only 4 of them being returning advanced students. We're running low on chemicals too and I don't think were getting any in the near future. Also keep getting flats. I also landed a super clean 180 into a bank at the skatepark straight into a slider. Also had to hear all this stupid ass bullshit from Josh B. about how I'm not going anywhere riding fixed. That's ok. No reason to argue with him I guess. As long as I'm having fun. Could care less about foolish fools. Also got some feeble grinds down on some of the ledges. I'm also waiting for Mike B. (intothemecha) to heal up so we can ride! He's also working on some new foot retention straps for me to destroy for some good ole PR&D. Will post them once I get a pair when he starts sewing some up. Should be here next week when I go ride with him tuesday.
I also got a new front tire today since my old one tore through at Marcus house during band practice. I guess Rob and the others said my 180's got way higher but today they really didn't seem or feel like it. Maybe tomorrow after I'm done skating with Josh and X I can work on them.
Enough blabber here's a clip Marcus filmed of me in Brisbane CA last week.
Enjoy
More to come soon

Saturday Funday Edit. from Dec 2009/Early Jan 2010

Scott, Robert and I went up to SF a while back and Chris Fonseca filmed us all.
Coolest part of this is I ended up being the screen shot.
A few tricks I did that didn't get filmed were the hop bar I landed off the ledge that shows me fall. I did it once on my bike and then 1st try on Chris's Vol. Thrasher. Also landed a bunch of 180s and slider 2 3 taps. All in all after cracking my conversion more and getting two flats it was a good day.
Here's the vid

so I don't have much to post lately.
I guess i'll catch up on stuff that's been happening lately.
Destroyed my conversion
Got my job back back being a Darkroom T.A.
Built up Haleys old yellow mercier frame with the fu man
and bmx cranks
Haley got a new frame 49cm Scrambler Black
She got me a new 48h Silver Chukker laced to a Profile hub (shits so beefy)
Went to Sean/Katherines Newyeareve party, was pretty fun
Been playing polo pretty often with everyone
Got filmed and was in a couple short edits Chris Fonseca put out
Took 2nd place at the Sacramento 5 Stop Scally Cat Trick Comp
Taylor Dwight from P.A. who I drove up with took 1st. (he's so damn good now)
Finally learned 180 sliders along with some other cool stuff
Built up a shitty blue road frame as a fixed polo bike w/ ductape disc
Have seriously popped like 8 tubes in the past 2 weeks.
Rode with Xavier and Mike B. (IntoTheMechaBags) and tricked it up around Stanford

Life hasn't seemed to be going anywhere. Ya i've learned some new tricks and made some new riding friends but... Life seems so dull. I need to take that leap. Get out and experience something new and outta the ordinary. I want to go back to school really bad. I want to be something. It feels like I'm just settleing. I dont want that.

Where will this road I've chosen take me...
photos will be up soon hopefully
