California Photo Blog pt 1

So Tommy Daddono and I flew out to California this week to stay with Tyler Wheeland.  The week started out with Tyler and Stefan Hefner picking us up from the airport and riding downtown LA at 1 am.  This photo was taken the next day, when we went to Vista to ride with Andrew Broussard, Josh Young, Jon Reyes, and Tyler Bonner.  Vista is so good to ride, pretty much everyone rode and got clips.

  We were on our way to a ditch spot when Jon and Tyler pulled off the road to check out this rail spot.  It took a few tries for him to pull this double peg, but he slid pretty much the whole thing, and tricked out.  You can check the footy in the upcoming Elyts DVD.

  On Monday we went to this gap over a rail.  Erik Feenstra trucked and 180 whipped over it in his Socal Stuff video.  So while the bar was set pretty high, Tommy was able to get a cool clip and picture before we got the kick.  Twhee with the photo cred here.

 

 This is another spot from Feenstra’s socal video.  In that he double peg to back lipped it.  Tommy rides no pegs so he opted for the hurricane.  The rail was already taped up in a few spots, its gonna need a massage after being shredded by scooter riders.  Tyler again with the photo.

  This photo was taken at this banks/ditch spot in Laguna Beach.  Pretty much everything about the spot is really gnarly.  I got worked trying to get a line here but ended up sticking this half cab heel into it.  Tommy also filmed a clip, and Tyler again shot the photo.  This is also the best spot if you’re trying to go fast and powerslide your wheels away.

  On the way home from the Laguna banks Tyler remembered this pole jam and we stopped at it.  The pole is definitely taller than it looks in this picture but that didn’t seem to be a problem for Tyler.  Tommy also blasted the sickest footplant fingerwhip off it but you’ll have to wait to see that footy..

This is just part one of the trip blog.  Tommy unfortunately left tonight but I am still here till Friday night, and we have pictures from Tuesday and Wednesday.   For the record, Tyler is filming for a full length with Stefan, and Tommy and I are also filming for our own.  More on those projects in the future.
