A Quest for Fresh Adventures…
Wednesday, May 1, 2013
Nick Ronzani, Blake Smith, Liam Morgan, Eric Jensen, and Dave Tannaci all trekked to Ithaca New York recently to smell Spring in full bloom. This photo places Nick in a psychedelic tunnel linking the two sides of Detroit’s massive airport. This epic barrel for skating through is a part of the journey that we all shared last weekend while taking our California style eastward.
Not only is skateboarding an amazingly good time on its own, it is also a great vehicle to take us away from our local pastures and drive us to explore what lies beyond the horizon. This exploration can treat you with new territories yet discovered and new friends yet to meet—this weekend provided Both! Can’t wait for next year..
Oh Slippery Serpent
Tuesday, April 9, 2013
Oh slippery serpent, how I love you so. It excites me to watch you slither to and Fro. I model my skating after your wriggling, through streets and driveways and everywhere I go. Thank you Bay Area serpent for showing the way to slide through the day!
Reflections on Living Long and Prospering
Tuesday, April 2, 2013
As we travel this year on the ScholarShip Caliber bus we will be seeking the maximum level of radness from each crevice that we explore. As friends, we are adventuring to distant lands, testing gravity on new roads, scratching coping in unheard pools. There is no doubt that we are prospering and if we can find a grocery store on the road we may live longer as well!

Road To RADO
Wednesday, October 3, 2012
Buffalo Bill Downhill is always a special weekend for me every year. Having raced in every BBDH since the first one 2009, it’s remained the one downhill event that I will not miss. Characterized by the endless amount of freeride runs and the highly technical course with 4 hairpins and high speed sweepers, BBDH has proven to be one of the best downhill events around. This year was no exception, as racers traveled from around to world just to have a chance to skate the many corners on Lookout Mountain.
We drove from San Francisco to Golden Colorado this year which ended up taking over 40 hours and some sketchy late-night driving. For a 3 day skatecation it’s more than worth it. Still a bit crunchy from some lingering injuries, I chose not to race this year. Rather my focus was to photograph the event, which is something I haven’t been able to do until this year. ‘Road to Rado’ is a collection of some of my favorites from the event featuring the Caliber crew. Check it out, and I hope you enjoy!
