Those companies are really doing their job well.

Vegetable Or Band?

out and about

2 artsy photos and 1 photo of Nuge stretching with youngster David Reyes looking on. What a update...

Ed Templeton, Heelflip around 1986-87

At Pay-n-Play by the HB high school... Riding a Vision 'Jinx' board, and wearing a Schmitt Stix painters' cap.

Healing For Fatherhood

Josh is getting stronger by the minute and soon he'll be back to melting your face with his after-burner skate action. Until that wee babe comes to town, that is...

boys are back in town

Looks as though everyone is back in the states. Sierra got 2nd in the Russian X games this past weekend. Look for appearances from everyone at the Vans Downtown Showdown coming up next month.

Dr. Who?

This photo was shot right as Dr. Bennett was teleporting to a Russian forest to hang out. He gets out there sometimes.

night missions

Abdias and Angel watch as Sierra skates Brooklyn at night.

Little Man will kick your ass.

Josh and Jenna Harmony's Bad Ass kitty 'Little Man' got himself into a fight with a car. Now he has to rock this cast for a while. Get well Little Man!!!!

David came up big recently

Wonder what he did that was worth that amount of money. Those don't look like singles to me.

Trapasso On The Road

Traveling makes one reflective and Nick is no exception. You only realize the growth once you return home.

I'm a sect on a skateboard

James from Universal City, Texas sent us a picture of his Toy Machine tattoo.

Be Constructive with your Time

Like this awesome young lady....

Down and out in Birmingham

Home of Black Sabbath.

Diego's Last Day

El Butcho has one more day to spend in the land of the free and then he's back off to Spain. It's been a tough trip with since he got knocked out and burned out. He DOES have and epic Thrasher interview coming in hot...

behind the scenes

David gives me the air knuckles while Angel cuts out peace signs in his grip tape.

Get Gnarly with this Candy

Slow Steady Inhale...

Hot Or Cold

Sometimes the cops will tackle you to the ground for skating, other times they just stare at you with awe. Nick inspires the latter in the Kansas City PD.

Back in School? I never left...

Andrew Allen gets epic.

Austin in fact did quit Emerica...

And Shaved his head too, he ride for a new company that makes him shoes, called Beloe.

before and after session

I love the energy in the team prior to starting King Of The Road.

traveling through West Virginia

While traveling through Ohio then West Virginia we stop for a quick firework break. As seen in the new KOTR video due out soon.

The Power Of Christ Compels You

J Harm Is 24!

Josh's birthday was a about a week ago and we totally forgot to post it. He somehow knew this in advance and made this silent statement about Ed. Happy belated Harm.

all good things must come to a end

So looks like the best thing ever - The Trampoline - is no more. We focused it. I don't know but I'm guessing that all the jumps off the racking didn't help it. It didnt even last a week...

The kids who come to my house and demand stickers

Almost every day. I need one of THESE on my front porch!

totally related...

Only In Russia

These horses rode through a skate spot while Diego was mingling with the locals. For further enjoyment: Check this out.

whats better then the X Games?

Foundation Super Company!

we got it like that

Corey landed 2 covers this month. Thrasher and CCS. Not bad for somebody that is in a cast right now...

Anger Management

Johnny gets hopping mad sometimes. Billy channels his rage into shopping.

Johnny's Dog Is A Tripper

Dirty Mind - and questiones answered...

In between makes Ed needs to wash off all the dirt from those inevitable tumbles. It was either this or wait until it rains.

good thing we got this

Im sure glad we got a trampoline the other day. I was getting sick of actually working at work. I made sure to include a photo of me jumping on the trampoline and taking a photo at the same time to show you what its like up there in the world. Notice how sketchy of a spot we picked to put it though. Next to the dungeon stairs and the stairs/railing that leads up to the office. Now theres consequences when your tramping gets a little out of control. You die. Rad.

lost in denver

Abdias looking lost at Denver park.

Happy Josh

Josh is so happy to be home from this past summer's trips that he celebrated with a handstand. He's working with Cirque de Soleil for his next video part... Also, Ed is in the newspaper trying to save HB park!

I found Animal Chin, and He's a She!!!!!

Makes me want to punch a celebrity.

home sickness is not a option

When you travel as much as these guys your home is the hotel. Not that place you pay rent for back in California or Colorado. Thats more like a storage unit. Angel leaves for Spain today to meet up with fellow Vans riders.

Ouch

Bilbo and Nick cross paths on the way to pain and Spain.

Beach lurk 2000

Go skate it's Saturday!

Diego's Back!

Diego came back stateside for a bit arriving on the same day that Johnny flew the coup for Barcy.

sawblade update

The Ferry to Copenhagen, Denmark...

In other news... Kevin, who suffered a non-work related injury as of late, is relaxing at home. (making me update the website every day) Wish him well young pawns in hopes that he comes back to his job and gives us more of his colorful photographs!

Cute Fans...

Matt B wants more of them.

nothing exciting

Abdias wondering where the hell he is... Angel and David living up the one moment on KOTR where they didn't have to jump down something...

The Gonz finally passes the torch to the Josh...

Send him a congratulations e-mail! His assistant is standing by. Check this huMONGous Piranha out.

Gotta make a livin' somehow...

Grif lights a well earned cig after coming up 3 bucks... For selling a board I left out by my trash can. If you are worried about getting sued, call the law offices of Dick M. Lester, they'll sort you out.

firework pit stop

Quick stop for fireworks in Ohio had the guys contemplating on how much per diam would be spent on them. All of it or all of it.

let me introduce you to my friend

Mr. Pig Duffle Bag. A must for all Tum Yeto riders when on trips. Has a strap for your board on the bottom, zipper inside the bag to seperate clean clothes from dirty clothes, ultra heavy duty handles for the heaviest of items, a non rip outer material and comes stamped with the best wheel brand out there. Pig Wheels. Ask your shop about it or don't.

a NYC moment

I played the tourist roll when we got into NYC for King Of The Road. I had about a full day to do whatever I wanted before the team arrived. Get lost in the city. So I took photos of my adventures. Which included mostly buildings. But I did get a chance to stop by KCDC skateshop to grab a couple boxes we had sent there. Thanks again.

partial team update

Abdias Rivera will be shredding with the Circa team in Europe for the next 2 weeks. Visiting Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Russia. Since KOTR Angel has been staying in Long Beach with friends. Friday he will fly back to Colorado to pack once again before taking off to Spain for a Vans trip. Our newest and most disturbing looking am David Reyes will be joining Abdias on the Circa trip to Europe. After shaving his head of his little goldy locks and rinsing out the dye he is ready to go mingle with the euro ladies. Mr. Don Nguyen is back at his new house in Los Angeles. Working with Duffs on some top secret shoe business. Sierra Fellers left for the Circa trip also. Sierra had about 1 day of relaxation in between trips. Because last saturday he skated in the Es game of skate. Welcome to pro life Sierra.

life and times of Foundation

Heres a couple more photos from KOTR. Out actual destinations were New York, Skatetopia in Ohio, Wisconsin, Kansas and New Mexico. I wouild name the cities to go along with them but some of them are hard to spell and I'm trying to look legit. Those were the places we had to go too. Other than that we pretty much hit all the biggest and bestest spots along the way. Eating 3 plus meals a day in gas stations, buying a shit ton of fireworks, getting bad haircuts, looking for grandmas to make out with, etc. It was a little bit of everything that you never thought you would experience. Good times. Look for the upcomming Thrasher KOTR video and mag.

Watchoo lookin at Pizza-face?

J-Layton looks at me with disgust, as he is sometimes want to do... Here, Deanna shoots him inscribing his J-Hancock onto the underbelly of Youth Culture. These kids will go get this belly graffiti tattooed permanently, securing their PR status for life?

Being sexy is tiring...

Just ask Kevin's hickey and it will tell you, "It Sucks!" All in good fun.

Toy Fan Get Penis'ed in the Forehead?

Finally. In other news... Have you ever wished you could give Sheckler the sweet back tat of your dreams? Well now you can with the 8=D Sheck-Tat Generator!!! Maybe with your tattoo, he will finally score the chill girl and become normal. It's not as bad as someone pointing at your ass and laughing at it, is it? I wonder what Austin is doing in Moscow?

Don't You Cry No More

Austin was well rested enough to just melon off everything while in Koln, but seems to be facing some sleeping trouble in Mother Russia. Carry on my wayward son...

I'm missing Grif's participation...

On this Random Blog. We need more than just comments.

Birthday Highs

It's Nick's birthday today so everybody take a toke in honor of Trapass-out. Have a good one Nicholas. But don't forget the Stone!

Shot by the radiant Deanna Templeton. Wash this life from your skin young man, and become a loyal pawn for life...

you win some and you lose some

Looks like we came in 2nd in King Of The Road. Bummer. Thanks to everyone that helped us out along the way. You know who you are. We really appreciated it. Heres some photos from the last day. Oh I almost forgot, David Reyes is fine. Always was fine. Didnt fracture his orbit. I just lied on the blog to throw off other teams checking in on us.

Double Vision

Everybody is international style right now, so JLay and this guy are the only Toy dudes left in town. Johnny is putting it down double time... Don't forget to check up with A-Stone.

Austin has a seemingly sketchy time in Moscow

Read the frickin' RVCA Blog!!!!!

Lost In Moscow!

Austin is missing in Russia so we sent Diego back to search the streets and Matt B to cover the seas. We're working on getting Johnny to cover the air.

Templeton with fans in Russia...

Be sure to check the RVCA SKATE Blog to see updates of Austin's 2nd trip to Moscow this year!

Angels and Devils

Matt B. finds a rare moment to relax in between lurking in darkness and opening up to the light.

Congrats to Cel and Jon, recently married!!!!!

Long time lovebirds Cel Jarvis, and Skate Photog Jon Humphries finally tied the knot this July in their hometown of Portland, Oregon. Here is a photo of Cel by one of several paintings I have made of her! And here is Jon poaching my photo of Josh on one of many TM tours he has gone on! And here, Jon hangs out with Buzzo and BARR up in LA.

so hot right now

Don't forget to check out Foundations king of the road blog.

Commander In Chief

Ed has a black belt in multi-tasking. Between photo taking, art making, travel snaking, and demo skating he doesn't have much of a choice. See what I mean?

Austin and Kevin wait outside...

While Johnny drinks his drink inside.

Hamburgers To Hamburg
