@jacksonallen

somehow i could see jackson sporting these no problem

bikeshop ray

well i guess it's ups ray
came out to the park, good to see him again

someone do this!

i drive by this everyday on the way to the bikepark, someone do this already so i can shoot a photo, either rail ride to roof drop or drop feeble grind to drop would be sick
hit me up if you want to go shoot this, get er done.

mike miller

i'm a big fan of mike millers riding. this video is way to short yet now i really want to ride some indoor ramps, since it's pouring outside, ramprats?

saavedras trails burned down!

just saw this day in the life video and apparently the little forest that blue bench was located in caught on fire! things are still running, but man it looks different now that the palm tree's are toasted!

beer at the bikeshop

it's been awhile since i've been in the ol' bike shop, stoked to see brent and bikeshop phill in there even more stoked when the coor's came out, thanks for the good times guys


flying projectiles

dan foley in the new props


i was bustin some wheelies on the fixie

TWITTER

so here's the deal, i spent the last few months hating on twitter and all that. Finally made one and it's not bad. My main reasoning for making one was the fact that you can text photos straight to it. In the past i was always to lazy to upload my phone flicks but now it's hassle free. if you have one, you can follow me HERE

first digital dump!

so a few days ago i decided to buy a digital SLR again. i really love shooting film and am happy with the results i get however it is a ton of work and money processing_scanning_editing for the web. Also i feel like i'm hurting myself by not learning the ways of digital and post processing as it is the 21st century and i film is slowly being pushed out unfortunately. good thing about digital is that i can snap all kinds of random/shit photos and post them up on the web! so expect to being seeing alot more photos on TheCaliV

Heres photos from the first day that i got my camera, pope, brandon and i made the trip to baco so i could buy the camera and ride some street:





it wouldn't be a trip or bike riding for that fact if pope didn't get a flat tire





and one riding of brandon, pope was to busy myspacing it on the phone i found to ride

ride-on

this has got to be the most legit ride on lawn mower i've ever seen, to bad you couldn't do wheelies on it; well you could but it would defeat the purpose..
found on flickr here

atascadero contest

contest at the atascadero skatepark went down last weekend, brandon hoffman and pope went to check it out. does anyone have a video of the contest before it on the badass outdoor section (RIP)? that contest was amazing.
