SKATE

CHANS STILL THE MAN !!!

2009-04-09T14:18:54Z

One of our Team Riders Daniel Rodriguez stopped by the warehouse today to say whats up. While he was here I made him play a game of skate against out Secret Weapon "CHAN THE MAN"..... Chan run's our warehouse and is a BEAST on his skateboard. Alec Jamir already fell victim to Chan and Daniel did too...

Just another day at the office for Chan...

Daniel already had excuses about the board wasn't his, he was tired, he felt like shit because he ate Carl's Junior...

Somehow during our game's of skate you can always catch Matt lurking in the shadows of the warehouse. He appears and disappears like a poof of smoke...

At the end of the game Chan got "S" and Daniel got "SKATE".... another one bites the dust, RESPECT!

Daniel quickly realized theres nothing like a cold beer to wash away your sorrows after a long day at the office. Thanks for stopping by man its always good seeing you.

WHAT???

Ricky Fox has been on the flow program for a minute now. This is pretty insane.... backside noseblunt pop in to a death ditch! Soooo much shit can go wrong here. You can hang up on the pop in and fall to flat, land on that crazy metal grate, or what if you got wheel bite? I like your style Ricky... keep it up!

LATE NIGHT BOSTON SESSION

2009-04-08T01:28:30Z

On our trip to Boston (The Celtics "SUCK" by the way) our friends at Karmaloop took us to this AMAZING private park. A few guys from Karmaloop including their store manager Chris, all chip in a little bit of money each month and rent this place out. This was a late night session so needles to say we had been having a bit too much adult fun as you can tell by our horrible pictures. There was no way that I would let the bad photos ruin such a fun story....

Here is the view as you walk into a little slice of Bostonian Heaven...

The Doaner and our good friend Holland laughing because I ate shit on one of the quarterpipes...

A lot of the ramps are movable so you can make whatever you want....PERFECT...

Either the camera was drunk too or we were just rolling way to fast...

Chris gets DOWN...

Allen does not skateboard, he was also a little under the influence. Those two are a deadly combo when your holding a $1000 Leica camera that belongs to Wally. He got a bit to close for comfort to me while trying to get an "Action" shot (in his words). We almost lost the Leica but thanks to my fast feet I kicked the board out of the way just in the knick of time...

If this place wasn't already crazy enough you go into this little back room and they got a damn chop shop where they build motorcycles....I fell in love with Boston (Im a DIE HARD LAKERS FAN) which I never thought I could say...

Holy shit! I found a Unicorn, and it was on a motorcycle. You know that shit is gangster! Are you seriously going to try and start shit with a guys who's on a chopper with a Unicorn on the gas tank? I dont think you are...

We ate one of the nicest meals I have ever eaten in my life before we showed up at the park. Im talking we were so full I was borderline misserable and uncomfortable. I got sooo excited when I saw the park, I threw my board down and skated for 2 hours non stop. Turns out thats not such a good idea on a full stomach(wish I knew that then). I have NEVER EVER skated until I threw up. I got in the car and felt like I got kicked by a damn horse in the stomach, barely held it all together on the way back to the hotel, and once I hit the shower I litterally let loose in the bathroom! Hahahaha, I learned my lesson but I wouldnt take any of it back. We had a blast, thanks to our friends at Karmaloop for the session.

HE'S GOT IT LIKE THAT...

BATTLE ROYALE

2009-03-28T19:58:05Z

Alec Jamir was in the area the other day and swung by the warehouse. He had the nerve to challenge me (His Team Manager) to a game of skate so I couldn't say no. Now Im not sponsored or anything like the guys that ride for us, so when I get even 1 letter on them I consider that a VICTORY for sure!

Alec saw me warming up and realized quick that I wasn't going to be a push over and an easy victory. See the fear and confusion in his eyes?

Back deep in the shadows of the warehouse Matt was lurking getting the bird's eye view....

Alec getting a switch kickflip..... SHIT!!! I cant do those....

In the end Alec beat me which should be expected because he has an impressive list of sponsors and I am just the Team Manager and a Disabled Veteran. It was SKAT to SKATE so I almost beat em. Next time Alec.... Stop by whenever your ready to get beat!!!

FRIDAY FAVORITES

2009-03-27T19:21:16Z

Ronnie Creager still handles his business on his board but this was one of my favorite parts back in the day. He's skating to "The Eurthymics" which is Rad in itself. This used to and still does make me want to go skate!

TIM TOM CHECK UP

2009-03-24T17:35:37Z

Tim has been keeping busy down in SD. He did this in 2 days.... haha most people cant even land that many tricks in 2 days. Get em Tim!!!

AWWW MAN...

2009-03-23T18:32:23Z

Looks like Derrick is going to be out of commission for a bit.... so go pick up a copy of Skate 2 for X-Box and keep yourself busy in the meantime. Get better quick man from everyone here at Orisue!!!

The injury was bad timing because Derrick just got on Affiliate Skateboards out of Chicago. You will be back before you know it man. This is why Derrick is Sponsored and you're probably not... haha. Keep working hard.

MODEL OR SKATEBOARDER???

2009-03-19T19:33:24Z

Who would have guessed that our very own Mike Fyfe is a damn model? He just got back from a little trip to Singapore, Malaysia, Laos, and Thailand. Crazy shit because he went to more countries in one trip then I have in my whole life, guess I need to get out more.

Mike getting his model on....

Mike handling business on his board...

Welcome to the team man, nice to have you on board!!!

SOOOO MUCH FUN!!!

2009-03-18T01:14:20Z

"HEY VINCE, I GOT PICTURES"

2009-02-05T21:58:34Z

If you ever picked up a skateboard magazine you would see how amazing the photography is. You have no idea how hard it is to capture a great skate photo. Neither does Allen aka Doaner....

Here's Allen's skate photography

CHAN THE MAN

2009-01-28T19:11:22Z

We wanted to welcome Chan to the team. He is our new muscle in the warehouse/skateboard extraordinaire. No better way to welcome him than a game of S.K.A.T.E. to the death.
