Aaron "Jaws" Homoki.

The big drop guy.

Aaron started off as an am for enjoi. He switched to Birdhouse and turned pro for them. He does some of the biggest ollies down some of the largest gaps ever. If anybody could have landed the Leap of Faith, it would probably be him.

Jason Dill #8

Supreme.

I watched the new Supreme video last night. Here's eight random things I took away from it.

1. Cherry has a Mixtape and Peep This vibe.

2. There are more no complies than every video from the 1980s put together. There's no shortage of ollie impossibles either.

3. You get sightings of Tino Razo, Anthony Pappalardo, Scott Johnston, Brian Anderson, and a whole bunch more.

4. Paulo Diaz drops a bunch of unique tricks that only he does, including a massive nollie over a fence. This swings the 1990s Doomsday Clock a minute back away from midnight.

5. Dylan Rieder kicks ass. Alex Olson, too.

6. Is Dill the new Salman with the permanent wrist cast?

7. Would it have killed you guys to put some names with the skaters? I keep up with the new faces as much as an old dude can be expected to, but I was having a hard time figuring out who was who. The new blood deserves their names on the screen so we can identify them in the future. That minor gripe aside, the kids are tearing up the streets.

8. The Gonz went back at the end to paint the wall.

The photos are by Rodent and Greg Hunt.

Jeff Grosso #6.

Gnarly 3/4 pipe grind action.

The whole over vert thing doesn't make sense to me at all. It seems to defy physics.

Lance Mountain #6.

Future primitive.

It looks like Lance Cyril Mountain, Lance's son, has a photo show at the Seeing Things Gallery in San Jose. I'd been wondering what happened to him.

From the photos Michael Burnett keeps posting in Burnout, Cory Kennedy is insane.

UPS says I get my copy of the Supreme video today.

The weather might be nice enough for skateboarding outside this weekend. Maybe.

Foundation #2.

I ran the original version of this ad when the F-Troop turned 20 in 2009. Happy quarter century, Swank & crew.

4Q your Monday.

I'm looking forward to the coverage of the recent Fourstar Crocodile Done Deal tour of Australia.

This thing is slowly creeping up on 1,500 posts.

Jake Donnelly.

We're talking proud.

Jake Donnelly won Slap's One In A Million amateur contest in 2007. He caught the attention of Real and was soon sponsored by them. He turned pro last year. Jake is from a small town near Buffalo, New York. It's roughly halfway between my town and the Queen City. He would come skate the local park and totally rip it up back when he was in high school. It's great to see that he has put in the work to reach pro status. Given the ups and downs of Buffalo's sporting history, it's about time we had a winner.
