I Just Woke Up Under a Kitchen Table in Valentia, Spain
Sat, Jul 26, 6:16 AM
A couple years ago, I broke my hand on a backside 5-0. Pathetic. Then last year, I rolled my ankle on a 50-50
the first day in Europe. Wow. Oh it gets worse. I just tweaked out my knee on a plain old ollie on that
bump to bar. Rad. What’s next? Breaking a leg while pushing? So now I’m limping through Spain with
Jake Phelps,
Trixie who is five months pregnant and pushing through the streets with us,
Tony Trujillo, P-Stone, Schaefer, and DMFP.
We just got on a three hour train ride out of Barcelona to this town called Valencia.
Our mission: watch Bad $h!t play at some house party there. Then we’re coming back to Barcelona.
Check out some photos and footage of a little bit of skating we did and a lot of chilling: A Few Days in Barcelona.

Should Have Paid Attention in Spanish Class
Tue, Jul 22, 8:01 PM
I'm in Barcelona now with DMFP, P-Stone, and Schaefer staying at Roberto Aleman's house. After traveling here today, we took it pretty easy and now we're all up nerding out at at 2am at Roberto's house. Well, at least some of us. The rest are out lost in this raging party city. Just added about 30 new clips to P-Stone's AmsterDamn Am 2008 Video Footage. Still haven't found the time to do photos. Buenos noches I think means good night. Yeah, good night.

Most of These Clips Were Filmed With Sauce in One Hand
Mon, Jul 21, 7:10 PM
It's after 1am here in Amsterdam and I can't keep my eyes open any longer. Here's a few P-Stone Video Clips from AmsterDamn Am this weekend. Check out this
540 flip over the big pyramid. Wow. More coming tomorrow along with my photos and silly caption banter. Good night.

The Flying Officer Doofies
Mon, Jul 21, 2:36 PM
So I'm sitting here in Amsterdam having the time of my life with great friends (except for today where I have to spend like 10 hours at the keyboard working), and I get this batch of photos that makes me jealous of the fun everyone's having back home in Tampa. Check out some photos and words from Angel and Clem: A Ride on The Albatross.

The Cut
Sat, Jul 19, 1:23 PM
Hell yeah, DMFP!!!. He qualified second and got one of the Golden Tickets to the Finals. That means he's coming up on some of that rainbow paper that's all different sizes. They call them Euros and they use it as money here. It sure beats the old greenback. Here are the full AmsterDamn Am Street Qualifier Results. Top 32 make the cut to Sunday (we took two extra due to a 3 way tie in 30th - 32nd). See you at the After-Party at Winston Kingdom Club. I have no idea where that's at or how I'm getting there. Wish me luck. Yo Clem, here's another employee we need to steal:
Jake the ATM with the BTM. He's working way harder than I am out here and has been nerding out all day behind the lens and keyboard. Check out some of Jake's photos and words on the Volcom site.

We have a quite a crew here in Amsterdam, but Clem stayed behind to help with the Red Bull Flugtag thing this weekend in Tampa. Skatepark of Tampa has a craft that we're dumping into the waters downtown at 1pm on Saturday. One of the awards is the People's Choice. Text "TEAM36" to phone number RBULL (72855) to vote for SPoT on Saturday. Someone take some photos.

I Skate, I Swear
Thu, Jul 17, 2:04 PM
You know that one city that's so touristy it seems like you're at Disney World with cocaine and hookers? Yeah, we're in Amsterdam. Check out a couple skate photos and of course tons of chill shots: AmsterDamn Am 2008: We Got Here Early. There's also some P-Stone footage of some ripping at the park in there. I had P-Stone film me to prove that I actually skateboard, not just get wasted and make fun of everyone and everything.

Despite the few weird things going on there, The Maloof Money Cup had some ripping skating going down. It's going to be on TV this Sunday, July 20th at 3pm Florida time. Hope they put Hosoi on. Someone record it for me.

Two Maloof's, One Cup
Mon, Jul 14, 10:37 PM
Spent all day on a plane today back to Tampa and now spending all day tomorrow on a plane to Amsterdam. That one contest about the cup thing had ripping skating and an amazing street course, plus lots of other "interesting" stuff. Clem's story and the rest of my sketchy photos coming up tomorrow if I can get it done before the plane takes off. P-Rod won it, by the way.

Apparently, the Prince of Zamunda or something was here at the billionare skateboard bash? I did nothing but hang out and high five people all day. Skate photos coming up tomorrow, but for now, check out some lurk photos and a minute of video: A Billion Dollar Chill Cam Dump at the Maloof Money Cup.
