Chris Joslin.

Go big or go home.

Chris is from Hawaiian Gardens, California. He rides for Plan B, Etnies, Acitve, Bones Wheels, Venture, and Grizzly Grip. His recent section in the Album video from Etnies is full of difficult flip tricks done down huge sets of stairs and gaps. I'm not a giant fan of that type of skateboarding, but you have to respect how ridiculous the stuff is that he does and how cleanly he pulls it off. Chris has even battled a few knee injuries and still keeps doing the old carcass toss.

Does anybody have some requests for later on in September? I've got about two weeks of newer stuff scanned that will take me to the middle of the month, but then I'm not sure what to post. There was request for the CCS Summer 1996 catalog that I'll work into the mix at some point.

Cody Lockwood.

Newest member of the Fiend Club.

Cody is from Klamath Falls, Oregon and grew up in Portland. He was pro for Bryce Kanight's Lifeblood skateboards up until very recently when Bryce decided to end the company. Cody found a new home at Creature and put out a video part featuring transition and street shredding. He also helped build skateboard parks for Dreamland under the supervision of Mark "Red" Scott. His other sponsors include Nike, Thunder, Bones Wheels, and Jessup.

Erick Winkowski.

Vintage Jeff Kendall deck.

Erick is from the Seattle, Washington area. He has a fondness for riding the older style boards that were popular before he was born. For the most part, he skates pools and transitions, but as of late he has been taking on some large handrails and street gaps. The man has also been known to skate long distances from one city to the next. In keeping with the classic vertical traditions, Erick's got the ability to do a collection of inverts that Jeff Hedges and Steve Schneer would be proud of. His other sponsors include Indy, Emerica, Bronson and Mob Grip. He might be living in a room under a halfpipe, too.

Skateboarding was cut a bit short last night due to a swarm of flying insects that descended upon the skatepark. After getting a bug in my mouth, I gave up before one landed in my eye. That always happens to me and it sucks.

Darren Navarrette #11.

Skeleton Key.

Darren always has the best video parts matched up with some vintage tunes you wouldn't expect, like how he used "Champs" by Wire in the last Creature video.

I took yesterday off from work. It rained in the morning, but dried up by the early afternoon. I was sitting at my apartment wondering what to do and I realized I could go skateboarding so I hit up the park. I made the right choice because the rain came back later in the day.
