Here’s my top 10 favorite photo’s I’ve taken over the last year. 2011 has been a big year for us, and we plan on making this year even better. The top 3 are photos you may have not seen yet, and the rest are from sessions throughout the year. 
Devon Lawson throws some of the most dialed barspins I’ve ever seen, here’s a great example of that. He’s made some big moves this year and has helped to make San Jose a power house in the Fixed Freestyle scene.
I don’t know what it is about Jeff, but he is incredibly photogenic. I’ve always been able to catch such great shots of him. I love funky wallrides, especially ones on weird nooks & lips on the wall. 
Here’s a shot of Me (Matt Reyes) riding this double bank back behind this parking lot on one of the steepest hills in the city. It was so much wasted effort trying to ride this spot. Up hill battle the entire time (more…)
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.
Yesterday a bunch of guys from Stockton & San Jose got together to ride some of the of San Francisco’s famous street spots. We rode the ledges under the freeway, then made our way to 3rd & Army to ride until the sun went down. It’s been a while since I’ve ridden w/ a large group of riders like that. I can’t wait until it’s light out past 8pm, getting tired of the sun going down so early.
