C.S.I. (Classic Stolen Images)

I horde things. I'm not sure if it was a learned thing or an attempt to make up for some nonspecific inner need that sprung from my typical suburban childhood. My stepdad "Jim" kept (neatly of course) a collection of raw materials from which he would fabricate car parts for one of his project Austin Healeys. Nearly nothing was thrown away. Unlike him, my garage is a mess. Like him I throw almost nothing away.

Now being the horder I am, I'm also a self proclaimed "right-clicker." This means I steal and horde images from the web. I may never be able to afford that classic mint skateboard I saw on e-bay, but I can steal the image and maybe build my own from all the junk I have in my garage? Yeah right!

I hope you enjoyed these C.S.I.'s (Classic "Stolen" Images) More to follow I'm sure.

I like.

Spiderman!

Here's a project I did for a special little guy who lives in my hood. It's a set up he can grow up with. If he thrashes the thing as he grows then it's purpose is realized and my job is done.

Superman!

I heard he rides for 209. If not, a local shop needs to pick him up. The kid has uncommon drive and a fear of... well, I'll let you know when I figure that out.

Lucky!

Woke up this morning and found this on my doorstep.

Ripon "Skate Camp" 2008

More pics from the 19th.

"Skate Camp" is the unofficial name for a great program put on every summer by Ripon Parks and Recreation. The non-competitive 2 hour class teaches new skaters the finer points of safety and skatepark ettiquette, as well as a first hand respect for the many diciplines of skateboarding that can be enjoyed at Ripon's Curt Purnice Skatepark. "Coach Brian" a title that he humblely denies, is a ripper (expert) from the "Old School." Brian's passion for the sport and long standing dedication to the program has produced numerous young rippers that have gone on to be locally sponsored and in my opinion life long dedicated to skateboarding.







A little after class action.

Game of skate.

E.T. on fire!!!!

Announcing the return of E.T. As the story goes, in the last 18 years he has skated transitions (walls/pools)once two years ago, then made his incredible comeback today. Kinda funny since one of the local kids said he thought E.T. was 15! Starting the morning with baby steps, our hero quickly progressed to higher and more daring feats of skateboarding wonderment. Welcome back Bro, we been waiting for you.

San Jose to San Francisco.

A few snaps from my Father's Day Weekend trip to San Jose and SF. So proud of my kids for stepping up and taking to the park. Stoked that Bros Randy and Pete showed up to share the festivities found only in San Jose. Can't wait until next session guys! ~sc

Ever see the surf flick "Big Wednesday?" Miranda takes a stab at the big Pipe!

Justin learning how to pump a section I call "the fish run."

Animated!

Falling down is part of it. If skateboarding was easy, then it wouldn't be cool.
