ZOOYORK

This was Eli’s first trip out of the country. Words cannot describe how excited he was to skate all the Europe spots. He pretty much dragged us to Le Dome to skate the double set. The run up and landing was covered in broken glass. I told him to wait while we swept it off a bit, but he didn’t listen. Here he is telling me he should have listened. Still psyched.

You couldn’t turn around in New York City last summer without seeing Chaz.

Zered and Brandon give Chaz an official welcome to the team roughing up in Atlanta. They stuffed him into a dumpster shortly after.

Suski gearing up for a long van ride through the European countryside.

Casual New Yorker.

As excited as Eli was about his first europe trip, he wasn’t quite prepared for the sometimes grueling schedule. Here we had to check out of our hotel at 3am to catch a 5am flight to the next demo.

Anthony Claravall was our tour guide in Shenzhen, China. This is what most filmers look like after filming lines all day in the blazing sun.

Westgate and Mike Manzoori check out a long rail in queens while filming for Emerica’s “Stay Gold”. Not sure if Manzoori could see at this point.

Mike Manzoori got an eye infection when he came to NY to film with Brandon for “Stay Gold“. At one point he literally couldn’t see. Turns out if he had waited to go to the hospital one more day he would have lost his eye. Suffering in the Bronx.

Forrest doesnt do budget. While the rest of us drink beer by the case, Forrest keeps it classy with some gas station champagne.

Zered doesn’t let the fact that there is no ball stop him from playing some hoops out on Staten Island.

Zered contemplating the 19 hour flight home from Johannesburg, South Africa.

Zoo trips aren’t all 5 star hotels, and champagne and caviar (unless your Forrest)  4 guys and one tiny euro bathroom with one towel. Donny and Forrest kept us up all night regaling us with stories of tours past. All we needed were the smore’s.

Driving from Prague back to Germany our drivers stopped in the small town they were from (no idea which one) and had the guys do an impromptu demo while they took one of the cars for a few hours to get a radio or something. This mini was off to the side of the skatepark, and was actually really good.

This rail is in Toronto, Canada. We were on a week long trip, and this was the one day that it didn’t rain. The rail is super tall, and up to this point i dont think it had been skated yet Brandon handled it first go.

This is a rugged little quarterpipe that Suski and some bros made on the side of a bike path in Tuscon. We shot this while the NY crew ate Arizona bagels for breakfast in the shade.

Suski loves live music. Anytime we hear music playing, we know Suski is going to wander off in search of it. Could be bongos, guitar, a flute, if its live, he wants to hear it, and if possible join in. Here he is at Bercy in Paris jammin’ away.

While Suski jammed on the guitar, Brandon suited up in his euro scootering outfit and scooted the afternoon away at Bercy.

Zered and Aaron show you what teamwork is all about by bailing out this spot in Phoenix for Brandon.

Hand Grenades are dangerous…

This is what happens when you drink too many handgrenades in South Africa. You either pass out like our guide Brendan, or turn into a tagging maniac like Dr. Z.
