Donny has also been helping lay down
the crete at the Groton CT skatepark
where there having a contest/BBQ this
weekend.. Donny will be there ripping it up.
If you’re in the area I suggest you check it out..

Directions to the park:
Take Highway 95 to Groton,
and exit highway 117 heading south.
Continue south to Fort Hill Rd and turn left.
Continue on Fort Hill to the intersection
with Ring Dr, and make a right.
The skatepark is on your left, in a grassy park.

Here’s Kenny flossin’ the crazy rocker steez
in Miami with the one & only
Joel Meinholz aka “Mindbender”,
aka “Out of con-Joel”.

He sure has a lotta luggage…

Now imagine lugging these bad boys full
of gear all over Israel for 2 weeks..
Now imagine doing that with
stitches in your bunghole.. Wow.

and a very
Happy Birthday to one of my most
favorite people in the whole world..
Marc Razo!

Everybody knows that Razo loves cake.
I counted at least 4 different cakes at his party!
Here’s Lance from Spoon & Rhandy Tambio from In4mation diggin into a couple of em.

and another surprise birthday to
the one and only Dave Ortiz!
Oh no i think its birthday season.

Forrest Kirby picked me up for an
early morning sesh while
the rest of the crew recovers from
the night before in Miami.

I asked Forrest if he had any ideas for
the upcoming Zoo video.

Here he is warming up with the ol’ SS.BS.TS.
Just wait til you see the killer combo’s
Mr. Kirby pulls at this spot.

Forrest had somehing important to do on Friday.
Let’s hope he “got-it-dun”.

Kenny Hughes gets busy for
Joey Digital & The NC Team.

Are we the only ones who see
something wrong with this photo?!?
This was at a fast-food playground in the hood.

RedBull put us up in the trendy Standard Hotel in Miami.
Our crew was reppin hard in the hot tub/pool area
for 5 days straight. I don’t think the other patrons staying
at the Standard were too stoked on us.
Here is a pic of Kenny & JoJo chillin in the hot tub.
That waterfall in the background felt like an aqua massage on your shoulders.

We skated a lot with these blokes who were
reppin the UK team and the Stereo Sound Agency

“Two World Wars! And One World Cup!
Doo dah! Doo dah!”.. they kept singing.

When Vinnie Ponte isn’t too busy selling
the hot Nike’s at RIVAL, He also DJ’s for Raekwon,
and makes a guest appearance in the
Red Bull “Seek & Destroy 3″ Video

Click the pic above.. then click it again
to see a little video of Vinnie in action.

Joaquim Cardona & Joey/”JoJo”/”Bucky” Brezinski

The UK’s Olly Todd was reppin’ hard
all day from early morning the night before
to his stellar performance at the Award ceremony
Congrats brits.
Kenny & the Brits

Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll see a Doc.Z update!
I know he’s got some good pics..
Send em my way Z!

If anyone can wake this kid up faster than
I can and get him away from the pool
and into the minivan with us..
I’ll vote for you! - RB.

So we just got to Raleigh, NC and RedBull
had a little party/orientation meeting for us
at the flying saucer bar. Big Kenny Hughes
and Bucky were in the house.

Joel Mindbender is on the tour reppin’ MIA
and Chris Roberts is here reppin’ for LA.
Jeff Regis from RedBull was in the
kitchen servin’ up some heat.
Chris Nieratko from NJ Skateshop is also
in the house as one of the coordinators of this tour.
And also Ryan M-M-Monihan from the
H-Street video “Shackle Me Not”
Here’s Joey whippin’ out his secret
weapon that helped us win last year.
Boost mobile gave us all these cool phones to use
that have a walkie talkie feature
they are lots of fun to “chirp” one another with.
and Joey found a Chicken McNugget
shaped like New Jersey!

The other day Joey Pepper skated an old fort in SF.
Here he is lofting a fat backside boneless.

I don’t know if this fake park cop is giving
Joey a ticket for posing the boneless photo,
or if he is just being a jerk and protecting
the 100 year old “endangered” skate spot.
So Joey takes the ticket like a man and ends up taking
this lovely pic of a sweet melon grab.
Ahh.. what’s that on the bottom of his board?

Here’s another lovely pic of Joey busting
out a hyper-extended one-foot
aka the “Ollie North” or
as Forrest Kirby has been known to call it
- the “Ollie Cowboy”.. Yee haw!

Speaking of Forrest.. if anybody sees him
out there living his mysterious life,
tell him to quit being a stranger!

So after these photos of Joey were taken..
he took off on a skate trip to Thailand with his buddies
Skateboarder Mag Photographer Ben Colen
& filmer Vern Laird.. Let’s hope he keeps us
posted with some photos & updates..
and I’m off to the dirrrty south with Kenny Hughes
on the Red Bull Seek & Destroy 3 tour.
Holla!
