We got off to a late start but that is always expected. Josh, David, Jeremy and I heading dirty south bound Friday afternoon for the Johnny Romano Skate Jam.

We met up with Kolby on the north side of Houston and he took us to this nice little concrete park. I don’t remember if this was back tail or front blunt but I’m pretty sure he did both so I’ll let you figure it out.

Kolby kickflipped out of it too.

We finally made it to our hotel in south Houston right next to the skatepark where we met up with Rajeev and his homie, Von (I’m not sure if that is spelled right or not) as well as Naomi.

Josh got right down to business.

The Garbageman decided that it was time for a photo shoot.

The Garbageman would like to remind you of his two favorite past times.

I saw these fools lurking around.

The course. I didn’t shoot anything during the skating because my optics fool, they just aren’t up to par yet. It was too dark and I was too far away. I guess I could have thrown my fisheye on but I didn’t want to get in the way. Josh and David skated the jam. Josh is that blurry thing walking across the quarter pipe.

Little gnar man Zach with an h was lurking.

Fisheye galore. The most fisheye’s I’ve ever seen in such a small proximity.

So many people thought Josh was Tosh Townend which I guess is a reasonable mistake but Tosh is a lot bigger. Anyways, Josh was saying that he had so many kids coming up to him like, “Hey Tosh can I get you to sign this”. Josh said that even some kid came up to him with a camcorder and said, “Dude, you’re my mom’s favorite skater!” and Josh just replied, “uggghh I’m not Tosh”. Here is Josh signing another misunderstood autograph.

Check out this for more photos and videos. I’m in photo #20, see if you can find me. Sean got a trick in this video highlight with his gnarly late bigspin shitz.
