Ryan Smith finds himself on the new Color magazine cover. Back nose blunt deep in Oceanside.

Also in the issue is a full interview with fellow Canadian and Indy rider Sascha Daley, go check it out.

I shot this photo of Sascha a few months back, didn’t make the cut for the mag but none the less a long ass solid board slide at UCSD

Sacto’s sounded good but Fresno is closer and had more pools. Hewitt, Peabody, Farmer and a bunch of other people showed up and Peacock had a ton of pools to skate for a few days.

Plenty of scenic views like this one on Rt 99

First pool of the day was this capsule

Then over to Dready Matt’s pool, the last time I was there was with Pete the Ox circa 2004

Hewitt and Peabody checking the action

The token GG Allin stencil in the garage is always nice

Now we are talking! This pool was off the charts and took some of the crew out

“Dude I skated better pools in Ohio”

The session was coming in hotter than the hot sauce

Hewitt “I got served up down there”

Peabody claims this hat was black when he first got it

They like their 4X4’s up in that area

Took it over to Sanger to check out the new skatepark

It even comes equipped with a mini version of the AZ Love bowls

Bowl with all pool coping

Peabody hoists up a boneless one over the hip into the bank

Peabody picked up a new sponsor PBR and they even got sleeping bags

Nothing like some fish and a brew before the long drive back down south

So we’re advancing into the 21st Century over here in the webisphere with all sorts of new stuff.

Sammy Baca’s Indy tattoo about 1 week after getting it. I wonder if its worn away yet?

During the filming in an Argentinian backyard pool, roll in

Not the biggest transitions out there

Front tooth through the lip, one less to brush
