Riding The Fire

Coming soon...

2009-08-31T16:23:00.000-07:00

Get some.

2009-08-09T12:21:00.000-07:00

Storm killing it.

2009-06-18T10:44:00.000-07:00

Not much to say.

The Greeks.

2009-03-19T21:54:00.000-07:00

Went to Jimmy the Greeks house. Hes mega short. Zach status. But anyway, hes the funniest fucking dude, I was laughing so hard. Played some basketball. I fucked my hand up super good on a sandstone wall. He has a killer pool, all these crazy little concrete volcanos and quater pipes with bendy coping. Firecracker coping.

Heres some shitty pictures as always.

Anyway, I hope you fucking douches are having fun in Cincinnati. right....

Pittroffs Corner.

2009-03-14T20:51:00.000-07:00

So the day started off as any other. Little did my stupid ass know, it was to be a horrific SHITFUCK(Yes, thats the only word I can use to describe it) of a day. I started it off with some Call of Duty 5/Skate 2. At about 12, I went to Phoenix park, and the fucking Osirus team was there warming up, they fucking sucked, and James Brockman may or may not be the ugliest dude on the face of the Earth. I thought he was only gross in pictures...I was wrong. If you're balding, heed my advice and shave your fucking hair. So I skated there for alittle and completely ruined my knee. By the way, Viccarone was there with them and he was KILLING it. He kickflipped up the 6 stair and it made zero sense. So after that, I left and went to Chipotle and talked to Giby. I went to the tattoo shop to get Virgin Mary dressed like a whore, and the lady infront of me, who was 300 pounds EASY, took forever because she "didn't like the way it looked on her arm." I mean really, no tattoo is gonna look GREAT on an arm thats as big as my torso. So it turned out he only had enough time to go over the 164 Scott, Licardi, and Zach gave me. Now heres where the kicker comes in, I decided I would try and salvage the day by going to Tempe Park, So I get there and skate for alittle, and I figured I'd so some rail tricks but I couldn't have been more wrong. The biggest black dude ever, waxed the rail worse than a rollerblader would. I slammed so fucking hard doing a feeble. So I took a credit card and spent ATLEAST 10 minutes "de-waxing" this fucking rail. I tried the feeble again and fell even worse. THEN, if you're still reading this you're in for a treat, this guy who was about 33-38 years old was there with his little girl, and I see him talking to his little girl and the girl looks at me and asks why I'm "wearing my sisters pants." I told the guy to teach his kid some fucking manors and it escalated from there and I ended up pushing this guy up against the fence and a bunch of guys broke it up.

Heres some shitty pictures to go with a shitty day.

I wish this blimp woulda pulled a Hindenburg.

Essential items for skating. A HUGE jug of water to offset the fucking heat, cigerettes to keep stress down from kids getting in your way, VOX just because, and Indy 149's to NOT get anywhere close to coping.

The Skyline here is pretty wack.

Some trees. Fuck this update is bad...

Pretty rad house though.

I also saw a kid with a Blazer overcoat, 1 dirtbike glove, a flexfit hat, a purple shirt, and oakleys doing flatground.
Everyone out here wears purple shirts everyday, I don't get it.
Thats it.

2009-02-27T21:17:00.000-08:00

The reason for the MEGA POST is because Licardi has been blowing dicks for A's in his classes. So unless he somehow finds time to start updating this, you'll be getting Arizona updates from myself, Pittroff.

So, I left last night at 1 in the morning. Cincinnati to Phoenix. I figured there would be the sickest pictures of all kinds of funny shit...I was wronger, if thats a word, than a transvestite in the Womens bathroom. Theres not shit to see, nothing to do. I listened to talk radio the whole time about a guy named Billy Meier. Hes the real deal I think. He talks to Aliens, has photographs, has metals scientists can't explain. Legitmate. I ate, White Castle, Mcdonalds, and Taco Bell. Oh and some Beef Jerky too. Maybe the worst combination of foods on the entire earth. I tried to shit earlier, not 1 piece of shit came out. It was bad. I figured it would be warm out West, or atleast warmer than Cincinnati, I was fucking wrong about that too. Its fucking 43 degrees in the middle of New Mexico right now. I'm pretty sure the only way I've survived this long, is funny ass storys from my dad, cigerettes, and a shitload of soda pop.

"I was listening to talk radio a few years ago, and at the beginning of 2007 this Witch was on making predictions for the year. Like a legitimate Witch. She was a good Witch though. And she predicted that in October of 2007 the stock market would drop like hell. So in September I took all my money from GE stocks (he works at GE) and unloaded it into my account. A month later, the stock went from 42 dollars to 21 dollars. I told your mom that story and she told me I was a fucking lunatic. Its the best decision I've ever made." - My insane father. Todd Pittroff. GE stocks are $8.51 as of today. The Witch pulled through for him.

St. Louis has a worse skyline than Cincinnati.

Apparently Jesse James used to hide out in caves in Missouri.

Indian owned Casinos are all running wild in Missouri.

Oklahoma might possibly be the worst place on the face of the Earth.

Sleeping beauty. My old man. The mustache you all dream of.

There are literally hundreds of firework outlets. HUNDREDS. Everywhere.

Circle K. Always a good choice.

This is what the whole fucking ride looked like.

The Hillbillys that built this thing did a shit job.

It doesn't even come close to Touchdown Jesus, but whatever.

Everything is so flat you can see for miles around. Or see a full train.

The Flying J has Steak, Cakes, AND Eggs. I bet its delicious...

Jesus is Lord. Enough said.

You just cant fuck with a guy whose license plate says "BIGMAN."

Guys in the Gas Station, the dirtiest, grime dude you've ever seen. He buys a Samurai Sword from a vendor guy. His old lady comes out and he says to her "A rock cracked my front winder, you gonna buy me a new one right?" They were so dirty and fucked. I wish I could have got his whole setup in one picture. It was the highlight of the trip. Hillbilly Ingenuity at its finest. New Mexicos best.

Best sunsets by far.

One year...

2009-01-08T21:12:00.000-08:00

Been a year since this has been started.

This was on my computer so here you go. Poorman took this the other day when it was nice out. Winter sucks.

Dude...

2008-11-24T19:27:00.000-08:00

Go to 3:22. They shred the hubba.

New banner...

2008-11-24T12:51:00.000-08:00

Perpin'. Ed goes up.

Enjoy.

2008-10-14T20:42:00.001-07:00

Yup, I've been drinking again...

Invasion megapost.

The trip to Cleveland was the best worst trip ever...The crew was Zach, Andy, Ed, Storm, Scott Zellner, Pitroff, and myself. With only seven people we took three cars. Joe's video was sick, even though the video fucked up on Johnny's part. Definitely check it out.
The not so open road.
Car one full of shit bags.
Boom Boxin'.
...
Dat Bali Shag son!
Yup.
Flossin'.
Storms car somehow made it there and back.
Perpin.
Went to Pugz house and got kicked out for chillen to hard.
After a couple of hours of trying to find a shitty motel to sleep, we gave up when the motel 6 had no vacancy. Andy broke into a room and stole a single bud lite with lime. So the car was the sleep spot for the night.
Posted.
Stache.
Up bright and early!
Burger king was the spot for the trip. Ed and Scott.

Yup. yup.
After sleeping in the car and sweating at lakewood park, we thought that swimming sounded good. Lake Eire does not make a good shower.

Skate missions...
The locals.

You know about Digital 8 cameras? Video in the works?
Ed was the MVP forsure. Cookie head.
Hey Ladies have you met Desert Storm?

Look at that photo sideways. Shit looks like a dirty vag.Jordan posted.

This house was way better than the cars.
Zach's girl Emily hooked it up on a place to sleep, showers, a hot tub, and pancakes for breakfast. Supa Ed got blocked before he could get some.Porch spotting. Zellner took off a couple days early to get back to work.

We heard about a stair set, so me ed and pitroff took cruiser boards to the spot.
Zach jumped down it, missed the boneless pic.Everyone loves hospitals!
Storm, minus the mustache plus a couple stitches.

Burritos yo. Storm, Andy and Jordan leave home on money the got for selling boards at the park.

Like heaven on earth!
McDonalds. Livin the high life.
Got to Columbus Sunday night and stayed at Franz' place.Ed telling the little shits at Delaware park to fuck off.

Mile 666 of the trip. Nice. Total miles about 730 and two tanks of gas.
Smoke rings in the sky.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp.
Delaware park is tight.
Powell is pretty sick too.

Oh yeah, on the way up. Storm, Ed, and Jordan get pulled over, searched, and get the drugs dogs called. Somehow the get away with a ticket for "following too close".

Suck on...

2008-08-04T21:58:00.001-07:00

This.

holy shit...

2008-07-20T22:14:00.000-07:00

Kooks man. Kooks.

Anyone who goes on this...

2008-07-16T14:41:00.000-07:00

Get on your lurk! Stalled Out and Go Skateboarding day.
Check the battle axe.
Highschool loves hitting little kids.
The competition was fierce.
Even Felcher showed up!
If you're already bored...have you met James Christy?

Grove City is gnarly.Count on Ran for the party.

Zach gettin' real dirty.Jordan does a pivot.

Best pool ever.Sweeper!
Again...grove city is gnarly.
"I bet I could crush the mini keg" --Ran
Gotta walk the walk if you talk the talk. Proof is in the pudding.
Oh yeah...Andy now has fake teeth.

Proper!

2008-06-17T12:48:00.001-07:00

Workin'.
Lurk mode.

Wait till you see the footy...
Skated the anonymous ramp with Zach and Aj. Zach got this line.
Jordan teasing everyone...

Straight Chilllllllllen.

2008-06-12T11:19:00.001-07:00

First Cliffs trip. Pretty epic.
Round on the ends. High in the middle. Ohio.

Can't get sick of Ludlow park

2008-06-02T18:55:00.000-07:00

New shaped boards, less wood=less weight=more pop

This is skateboarding...

2008-05-25T12:03:00.000-07:00

All day son. All day.
D-Rob. Speechless.
While I sat around all day, people were actually doing shit.
The best picture I have ever taken.
Pole jam to gravel ride. Wicked bro!
Best address ever. Pretty sure this made an appearance in Knock on Wood 1 or 2.
That shit got back the fuck noseblunted.
Ride the wall dude. Toes to the nose.
Pole jam #2. Peep the footy...

Highschool's Box

2008-05-23T14:47:00.000-07:00

It's tight.
Ever wonder how terrible it would be to be gib-y? Here's a glimpse from his eyes..

Under the bridge...

2008-05-21T21:03:00.000-07:00

Skrillin' and grillin'.
Hot coals.
Zach blew it and didn't do rock. I think gib-y won the game of skate though.
The first day we skated gib-y's, clemens, and aj's (although i heard he just skated the entire time) box. Funny thing with the box, people love to fuck with it.
Instead of getting pictures of tricks or anything like that. I got this one of Andy hardly working. Let the countdown begin for the Galaxie's contest "Stalled Out". Start practicing, I've heard rumors of some dope stalls going down.

Regulators. Mount up.

2008-05-18T17:45:00.000-07:00

Eddie, Josh, CJ, Marc, and Roger came down from Cleveland this weekend. Went to the best park, Ludlow, and Andy made this edit.

Steezy through the knees.
Nick's war wounds from a long night. Fucking vampire.
We put Tent City in and got gnarly for a straight minute.
Haters want to hate, lovers want to love. I dont even want none of the above I want to piss on you. Yes I do I want to piss on you. Oh pee on you.

People started dancing on the table. Dude wasnt feeling it.
There were a lot of people there. Pittroff can always be seen though.
Felcher and Andy got into a dance off. Felcher shut it down.
I'll leave you with these beautiful clips.

"You ate it."

Ollies #2

2008-01-16T21:49:00.000-08:00

In between my cough breaks I managed to film a few clips. Aj, gib-y and b-dro put in work. Wednesday nights.

Thanks Andy, you're an asshole.

2008-01-15T18:35:00.000-08:00

Went to Ollies on Monday night, but didn't film much at all. Dry Ridge Ben showed up and was ripping. Thanks goes out to Andy for infecting our house and we are all sick as hell now surviving on Nyquil, 40's, Kentucky Gentleman, and Hoppin' Hot Habaneros.

For the lack of updates...

2008-01-14T13:38:00.000-08:00

Flossin'.

Broing down.

Posted up.

Zach's beard update. Click it to see the real thing.

Nothing needs to be said.

In case you missed the boneless the first time around.

Kentucky Gentleman.

2008-01-09T20:47:00.000-08:00

Went to Ludlow, Kentucky today for the 3rd freakishly nice day in a row. Nick wasn't getting as jiggy with it though, pretty much blowing it. He was riding the fire the other day but too bad we were lazy then. Once 4 o'clock rolled around the mojo was shot. The gnarliest locals got out of school and rolled up there. Some little 8 year old girl was talking so much shit to us, tryin' to say my chest hair wasn't lookin' fly. She was too legit to quit and I can't get jiggy with that shit.

It's the freakin' weekend I'm about to have me sum fun...

2008-01-05T19:02:00.000-08:00

Zach's beards coming in thick. Gib-y's back. Pittroff got 2 tall bottles of mikes hard lemonade and traded them from a single king cobra. Soulja boi came on...shit got rowdy. We are about to go chill next door. Shit got rowdier. Cops and fire trucks. Split heads. Backflipping over a balcony into thorn bushes. Get rowdy.

A Mad Dog Night...

2008-01-04T11:37:00.000-08:00

The point of one is to make the worst decisions possible. Ask Nick. Andy eats glass. Felcher gets classy.

Mustache Party.

2008-01-03T18:11:00.000-08:00

A post from October, if this blog would have been around. The Mustache Party, thrown together by the "genius" of Andy Licardi... or not, in less then a week and went off without a hitch. In fact I will claim it's the only party where a fight did not break out over at the Cleveland house. K Brutal (featured in Knock On Wood III) played and a mustache was required whether or not you showed up with one, hence the Sharpie marker on people's faces. Mark showed up with his gnarly beard and some wax. If you see him at Coexist ask him to show you his christmas gift.

Fucking Cold.

2008-01-03T12:53:00.000-08:00

New Years. More ramps. Skated the shop ramp. Car wouldnt start. Thank god Zach and myself are grease monkeys. Zach comes through for the second time.
