| Jon Jenkins - dropping in |
Jon Jenkins,( a person who was the videographer and editor
for Revolution Skate Shop) called me to state that he is in town and
wanted to skate. Jenkins has been living in New York for the past 3 years.
Jenkins came to my house met my dogs. We drove out to Chandler from Phoenix. On
the drive we talked about art, collaboration, networking and marketing. It was and still is interesting discussing these types of works and expressions with Jenkins.

We got
to the park and I was planning on taking pictures. I had fun taking pictures at
the last TNS that I wanted to capture more tonight; So…. As soon as I walked up
to the park, some teenage staff member told me not to go any further.... and as
soon as I started responding, he said in a fucking smug way ‘Thankkkkk
youuuuuu’ . So I abide to his request but shit, what a fucking buzz kill, I
just walked in. Anyways I stayed in this little part where parents should
stand.

So, no skates and just my grandpa street wear: sort of an awkward
way in giving greetings to some bladers I have not met before, not that I
worried about it this time around. So I started snapping pics, I began to test
the settings. Most of the pictures were coming out like shit. I figured to mess
with the zoom on the camera sense I was so restricted to this one spot.
Interesting stuff. Not really.

The tricks were very smooth and stylish this evening.
Jonathan Rebert was whizzing by with his bumps, swivels and
grinds, Jonathan wore his Black M12/V13 skates with Oysi frames along with kool
green wheels.

Kenny was in performance mode and did this huge quarterpipe
launch to wall ride transfer and the whole park was amped.

| Chad's 'Roces' Skates with a cool 'clown lipstick red' soul plates. |
Chad was doing this really cool half cab top soul to this
extension to drop tru top porn.
I saw an inliner, who I have never seen before skating these
white M12s. He was killing it. Doing steazy top sides and other impressive
movements. He had a pretty bad head slam that I completely forgot about until I
saw Ryan Buchanan’s edit of that session not to long ago. Anyways, I met him
formally over the weekend, His name was Andy and I think he said he was from
Boston, Mass.

| Jon Jenkins - Catching up on some hang time |
Luke was doing sweet grinds on the bank to box, such as an
alley oop top porn along with a killer misfit.
 |
| Nate Brown - Cess slide to wall ride |
Nate was doing this cess slide to wall stall back to the
bank trick that he kept trying over and over. I got some of the funniest
pictures of him trying it and hopefully I can post them all here. Regardless,
Nate killed it and always does, I definitely give Nate recognition for being so
good on skates consistently.
Ty!!! How can I forget Ty! Ty Davies was on hot fucking fire
that night. For one he did a fucking rail, and the grind and switch up were the
shit. He did a makio up a rail to royal down the rail. I would have missed that
makio foot every time because of my shitty precision. Ty also did this sweet
soul grind on quarter pipe.
I meet a few new inliners, such as Donald, Nicolas, and Matt
(cant remember his last name) and I also formally met Beno that night as well. It
is always nice meeting new people thru skating.

Jonathan brought these new ‘Rollerbalding’ Beanies for Ryan B.
They were a cool Pokemon Red and Blue version with a cool Alien print/tag along
with the rollerblading logo on the other side. I give recognition to Jonathan
for creating some variety and options of expression through his ‘Rollerbalding’
brand.
 |
| Blurry Business with Jonathan Rebert |
After the session, Jenkins and I went to meet up with the
rest of the bladers down the street to grab a bite and drink. Everybody was in
good company and it felt good to continue this type of friendships and
acquaintance with some blade buddies. Jenkins and I left as soon as we were done
with our coffee and food. I dropped off Jenkins and went home.
