Justin Cefai Believes

A good pal of mine from Michigan who is now living in Santa Monica, California just got on board with Hype! Skateboards. Congrats Justin, keep on ripping!

About two summers ago in Central LA.

Backside 180 nosegrind revert.

Check out his intro video here.

No-Go's

Here are a bunch of photos that for whatever reasons didn't make it into print. Some are old, some are more recent. Take a peek.

My second trip to Southern California. This

is Michigan transplant Shaun Hover doing

a proper ass back smith.

Another Michigan transplant in the same

session. Justin, bs 180 nosegrind revert.

Mitch, switch tre flip.

The second angle of Mitch's switch tre. Sometimes

filmers just do not want to cooperate and you

have to ask the skater to huck a few more after

he's battled with it.

Dave, full cab.

Drew, ollie over bs lipslide.

Colin, front crook onto the worst landing ever.

Isaac, nosegrind.

In...and out.

Seeing as I didn't update my blog once while I was in good ol' So. Cal I'll be doing so now. For the most part, Justin and I were a strict sleep/skate schedule and therefore not much time was spared for the blog world. Anyways, below are some flicks from the trip. A few things you can count on are: copious amounts of In N Out were eaten, Cherry On Top is delicious and the bro-scene there is absolutely bumpin'.

"Fuck it." Justin, front blunt
backside flip.


Moments later Justin ate total
shit trying this crook pop over so
he gets an honourable mention.


You better believe Mr. Shaun Hover made
an appearance! Front blunt.


Shaun, easy peasy back smith.


Late night beach session. Justin, back 180
fakie 5-0.


A new homie: Tyler Kindred, nollie shove
noseslide.


What are you doing up there?


Riley!


Hell.


Late night DVP session. Colin in the front,
Broah in the middle and Justin on the bench.

Left Coast

Back on the West coast again! This time staying at Justin Cefai's place in California. Ah yeah, the weather out here is fucking beautiful(as are the girls) and the skating couldn't be better. I made about one, maybe two updates while I was in Michigan so below are some photos from when I was shredding it up in the Mitten...Cali photos come later. Double pits to chesty, bro!

Not too sure what makes a person
actually want to skate a spot like this.
Regardless, Adam got down with a
switch bigspin.


Justin, back 180 fakie manual revert.


Chris, gap to noseblunt with ease.


Alex, fakie flipper.


Ryan , front board 270 out to dust sweeper.


Fellow photographer
Justin Broadway got down with
this back tail.


Cali photos...soon!

So Long California

My great expedition to California has finally come to an end. That being said, I am not stoked to be back home and surrounded by snow. All in all, the week and a bit that I stayed at Paul's with Justin was nothing but total awesome. You really can't ask for much more besides having perfect weather, waking up at 11am, cruising down the street to get coffee, checking out the shops and going skateboarding for the rest of the day. Everyone was really productive, skateboarding all day and playing Grand Theft Auto by night. Justin even had a messed up ankle and managed to get some photos - trooper. Everyone I met was really nice and extremely welcoming to me shoving a camera in their grills: Thanks guys.

In the end, what you really came for was the photos I've posted below so I won't hold you back any longer, enjoy, I know I did.

Justin Bohl skating after 4 months with a broken
foot...a miracle on wheels!


Sesai Parra means business. Ollie through
sharp metal roofing and bushes.


Justin Cefai, halfcab crooks revert. He was
just goofing around with this one.


Sesai Parra again. Hauling ass at a good
12 foot gap.


Hanging out at Justin Cefai's place on the last
night: Michigan dudes. Good times.


Tommy Gilfus getting ready to shred gnar
at Channel Street.


Brian Price, frontside carve of the Buddha at
Channel Street.


Paul Kwon, backside noseblunt at one of those
buttery school yards you see in those videos.


That's it, that's all. Thanks to everyone
for everything.
