Oldies January, 24th 2007. Since this site is all about ripping off other things, I'm going to do a little rip off of Skateboarder's "15 things you didn't know about..." but apply it to the videos on this site, and only do 7. 1. In #1, the sound for Moss's switch tre ender was the sound from his bigspin on the same gap. He later tried to redo the bigspin which resulted in hes face getting mangled, aswell as the first front page picture for the Sucks. 2. In "Fuckin' Arizona", Cameron does his line with a torn ACL and total disregard for Dr's orders. 3. When #3 first dropped there was a different trick where my sweet frontside board shuvit is now. 4. In #5, There is a bum posted up on those steps that Noah back grinds in SF. He was drinking a 40. I later got slapped in the face by an angry women at that same spot the next day. 5. In "Cruzin' AZ" John Choi landed a much better kickflip front board on the bump to rail, and is still a mystery to this day as to why it never made the video. 6. In Billy's opening line in #6 there is a group of lurkers in the background reviewing footage. Those lurkers happen to be two of skateboarding's lamest, Lutzka and his filmer Hoops. 7. Billy's next line in #6 was first try, and banging. Actually come to think of it all of Billy's tricks from that montage were from that same day, and done in 5 tries or less.
January, 21th 2007. Well, the new box is up. It's going to be a compilation box of Irvine-Sucks all stars. Here is the disclaimer: The new box will most likely have some weird stuff it in, and will probably burn some bridges along the way, so take it lightly. So if you feel like your worthy of sending a post and getting it posted, go ahead and do it. The first one is from Jonny. I know we've tried this before and it didn't work, but whatever. More Mike Lee, circa summer of 03.
January, 19th 2007. I have another installment of "found footy" with a clip dating back to the summer of 03. Heres Mike Lee back tailing and Moss just looking good. Was this shown somewhere before? Who cares. Oh and actually, don't hold your breath on the new post in the box of no return. Someone who promised me a show stopper of a post is lagging big time. And once again, for lack of anything to say, check out this other shitty site thats now being updated, I think.
January, 17th 2007. Rich, clean your lens buddy. New post coming soon to replace Krom. Also, I think Karl and Barker are going to try and get some Sucks shirts out on the market. Stay tuned to see if it actually goes down. Jordan can also do switch backside heels. Personally I like the switch heel more.
January, 15th 2007. I'm back, so that means back to updating. I only have one thing, but still it's pretty sweet. The Magical Skateboard, made by Karkool for a class hes taking. Plus Max, Alex, and Bob all have pivotal roles. It's huge file, so be patient, or just save it to your computer.
January, 6th 2007. This is going to be the last post for 10 solid days, for I am making a trip up the 5 to Oregon. Luckily there is a new "Mini" montage up. I'm not going to consider it a real montage because it is way too short and pretty shitty. Sorry about that, I'm not really into those montages right now, and I just wanted to get one out. Rich will make the next one, so it'll be better. Also, now that we all know Bomb Krom is history, start casting your votes for what should be in that third box. Email us if you think you have a good idea for it, or if you think a certain someone deserves it.
January, 2nd 2007. We made it to another year, and this what you have to look forward to in 2007... 1. BonerStorm(Summer time, maybe) 2. A new box (Krom's/Spindler's old box) being either taken by Karl, Brion, Jonny, a combo of all 3, or a daily picture of myself in very provocative poses, to please the much neglected female viewer. 3. Karl's "The Sack Lunch" 4. More banks and more Halfcabs, for our buddy Chad D. 5. Less Moss, since he has gone too corporate for us, and was even recently sighted wearing a t-shirt bearing the letters "OC" on it. 6. A shitty minute and a half montage, dropping later this week. Also, I'm going to need all the Irvine-Suckers with digicams to send me some pictures for the frontpages, because I'm out.
December 31st, 2006. Well, 2006 is almost gone, and my gift to you is a slideshow of all the past front page pictures. Thanks goes to everyone who looks at and enjoys the site, and also anyone that gave pictures. Thanks Noah Spindler, Alex Barker, John Choi, Massimo, Chris Greeley, Karl, Abo, and anyone else.
December 27th, 2006. What? Weirrrd! Also who checked the LA times business section yesterday? Rich forgot to mention the best part, Todd Perry getting the picture on the front page.
December 24th, 2006. Here's a little Christmas Email we got from one of our avid readers... "1. Go skate another bank. Yeah Chad! This email was titled "Suggestions for Rich", but it seems like he's calling out shit that I've posted or said. And why would you love to see how we respond? You knew I was going to post your rad email. Anyways, if we all can learn just one thing from this, let it be to direct your hate mail to the correct person. That and skate another bank.
December 23rd, 2006. Active still blows. Don't think we forgot. "Apparently, these shop boards will be differentiated from blanks by the fact that they will cost “more” and have more paint on them." Too bad many Sucks supporters are still riding Active decks. And with that said, I am now a hypocrit, because I haven't purchased a deck in many moons. I strictly shred hand-me-downs. And red curbs.
December 20th, 2006. Skating spots seems to be getting harder these days. Almost all our favorite spots are getting taken out. And then when we actually do go skate good spots that are still skateable, we have to deal with Guy Marianos and Gino Iannuccis sitting on the ledges. Then the next day we try and skate something we encounter bums using the ledge as some sort of beach chair. HSP is the only sure shot these days.
December 17th, 2006. Things that I hate this Decemeber... 1. Rain. 2. Christmas cards with a picture of the family that sent it on them. 3. The Party Van being partied out. Things that I like this Decemeber... 1. Any Terry Kennedy Ad. 2. People hating this website. 3. Billy's affinity for copped ledges and butter benches.
December 15th, 2006. Well, it is winter break for us kids around here and that means shreding will be optimal. Hopefully I can throw together a little montage soon, so all the veiwers don't realize we really have nothing to offer. BombKrom, such a busty story. Get it together over there. Miniramp Update: Currently Fucked. Needs new masonite and some plywood. Lets get a crew and get the baby cracking again. Standard Moss clip. Forgotten SF line.
December 12th, 2006. We skated with Cameron Furlong over the weekend. I was stoked. He got another clip too, but you got to wait to see that. If you want to further your knowledge on everything Irvine/ Pacific Northwest/Randomness hit up Chris G. and Pedro F.'s site... "this site is a rip-off of another site that is ripping off another site so that has to count for something." And plus Scott Seward has some stuff on there too. I've never mentioned it, but Scott is one of the biggest reasons this site actually got started. Thanks amigo. Welcome to the interweb bros, and don't let dreamweaver get you down.
December 11th, 2006. Who remembers this? Thanks to Nick Planet for the upload. Ben Karpinski emailed some photos of Billy. The first two are of Billly shredding and ripping. The third one is a little more suspect. It looks like the Billdozer is too busy hanging with skate celebs, and can't find his way down to Irvine. Just kidding. Those photos Shaunt sent BombKrom reminded me that this site is best viewed on safari. Sorry everyone else.
December 9th, 2006. Yesterday at olive park. Its stupid, sorry.
December 8th, 2006. I had to take down the Spencer and Joey video. I just couldn't take it. Nothing personal guys. Oh and whats with this Figgy impersonator?
December 7th, 2006. Um, I don't know about those kids in Rich's box. What I do know is that Rob and Big only gets better. If I had a camera on my face through out the whole show, there wouldn't be a second where I wasn't smiling.
December 6th, 2006. Rich, after further review, I have decided I actually did like that no comply hard shuvs you did into penny banks. I guess there still are rad new spots in Orange County. Good job Sean and Mitch.
December 3rd, 2006. To celebrate Rich's 100th post, we got him a stripper. He was stoked. I'm really suprised how well the Jereme Rogers Neighborhood video came out. Everyone had a good part, and no one used a song from Napoleon Dynamite. If it wasn't for the wonders of youtube, I'd consider buying it.
December 2nd, 2006. Wait, so you haven't been to themuska.com and read his blogs? Well get on it. He's single handedly making element respectable. Here's an old clip of Sean. Check that fakie back heel. This is before he embarked on his never ending quest for more footage. I guess no one wants Steven and Damian to be friends again. Well, I only have one thing to say. Look to the cookie guys.
November 30th, 2006. I know I've been saying this for a while, but I don't think I've ever spoke about it on the interweb. Anyways, I have the theory that the lower your V neck dips the hipper you are. It's pretty much the be all end all in determining levels of hippness. Here are some examples. V1, V2, V3.
November 29th, 2006. Ok to make up for yesterdays post I'll stir up controversy in this one. But first, a clip. This was supposed to go into montage 6 instead of D-louds' smith 180, which I planned on saving for BeanStorm, but I guess I gave Rich the wrong one when he edited it. So speaking of Damian, rumor has it he hates Skatin' Steve. I cannot have this happening. Two staple members to the Irvine scene not buds? Doesn't sound good I know. People please email the site with reasons why the two should reconcile and become buds again, and I will post them. They need to see how this hatred is affecting everyone over here at the Sucks. Ok, next were onto to Krom. I've been getting mixed responses about this guy. Hes been complemented for being quite the wordsmith and having some funny things to say, but hes also been acused of being somewhat of a bro. I'm guessing all his party pictures, attendance of pro football games and topped with his current status at bro-central, UCSB all help people to start believing this. So BombKrom, to be succesfull in the box buisiness such as Rich and myself, Id recommend following these standards: 1. Not so many party pictures. We don't want to set a bad example for the youngsters. 2. Try to focus your negative thoughts away from our amigo Noah Spindler, and towards other things that the Irvine Sucks is strictly against. These things of course include Urban Outfitter-esque skateshops, stunt based skatedboarding, or that fat kid from Active that wrote us an email defending his shop. 3. Quit talking about Bob Burnquist. 4. No daily blogish type entries, unless it is very opinated and in some way deters readers from shopping at Active or something like that. 5. Drop as often as possible your mom's mayor status. 6. Don't post pictures of Jaime Thomas doing a regular 360 when you're talking about switch 360 flips.
November 28th, 2006. Nothing important to say, but that is nothing new around here. Well one piece of information is Billy Davenport works at In-and-Out, and won't bring our butter benches back.
November 24th, 2006. K great, I love vafleezers. Here are some more Aussie clips that I filmed and have no use for. I heard through the grape vine that East Bay Brion got in on the hubba hotness that went on the past month. Radical. There is so much to like about this video. This box has no flow and no direction. Sorry.
November 22nd, 2006. Owning a video camera means you have to do a lot of things and film a lot of people you would rather not. And I have a perfect example. For some reason, Sean made me skate with a bunch of Aussies over this past summer. We went to this shitty gap in the intense heat. I almost passed out I was so dehydrated. So in other words, don't get a video camera.
November 19th, 2006. We went to a pretty cool spot today. I wonder how that spot isn't blown yet. And since Rich is mia most of these days, we went with obvious choice and made Jonny Rich's back up. I know, I should have slid further Noah.
November 16th, 2006. My power move turned out to be successful, and Bomb Krom has delivered a post everyday hes been on staff, not to mention the recent rise in viewers. Who has been watching Rob and Big? Best show on television. He does smith kf flips and jumps off 15 foot walls onto tents. If he's busting out bangers like that for the MTV big wigs, I can only imagine what hes doing for the Workshop. Sorry for the lack of anything with content/footage. Video mode is in full swing around here, so I guess that's our excuse.
November 14th, 2006. We recently received an email from one of Brion Baer's old school chums. Apparently he could not believe his eyes when he saw a picture of Brion boozin. Well, believe it, Brion likes to party. Who has seen that Jeep commercial with Figgy and Tony Hawk. What the fuck!
November 12th, 2006. Saw the new Toy Machine video. Pretty cool. Nick Trapasso killed it, and Austin Stephens made it even more difficult to like him with yet another let down part. HSP has been hotter than ever, so here are some awesome pictures taken by the Abo to prove it.
November 11th, 2006. Long story short, as webmaster of the ever changing and consistantly cutting edge Irvine-Sucks, I made an executive decision, undermined Rich, and cut our dear friend Noah Spindler from the ranks of Box Holder to mere montage skater/staff photographer. Noah, the posts were just a little too sparse for this semi-daily treatment of skate wisdom. Business is business Noah, and you know how cut throat I am about webstats. I am willing to risk this friendship ender for a couple hundred more hits a day. With that all said, replacing Noah's box will be Noah Krom. Although I do not think he's ever landed an ollie, he has been a loyal reader of the site, aswell as the most vocal. His being the son of the mayor of this great city of Irvine also gave him some pull during the interview process. He is also rumored to be Noah Spindler's arch nemisis, so it should be fun to see how this plays out. Welcome to the team Noah Krom. You have one month to prove your worth, or else you'll be canned aswell, leaving back up poster Jonny Fryer to be called upon once again.
November 4th, 2006. My new favorite site is probably scratcherscratcher.com. Make sure you watch all the videos.
November 2nd, 2006. Umm, stoked!
October 31th, 2006. This day anything goes... Cameron Furbong has reported to the Sucks that he has been skating flat lately and should be back on the board in no time. It's been a while, and it should be fun to skate with him again. FullClip.
October 29th, 2006. Over the weekend Eddie Lee got the idea that a tables, ladders, chairs match would be appropriate, and single handedly got a peaceful bunch into a brawl with the some of the finest bros the San Fernando valley has to offer. I do not argue that throwing a chair at some shirtless goofs is a great idea, but don't be surprised when a couple of face shots are graciously handed out to you and you closest buddies. Oh yeah, Sean Weikel finished 89th at Damn Am. Good work. Oh yeah, and he's also claiming he lives in Irvine.
October 26th, 2006. If you think the past couple front pages have been a bit suspect and questionable, that is because they totally are. Hopefully the next one tops them all. We sometimes show skating here. Lately, I've been hearing more and more about how Active in Irvine has been being lame to fellow upholders of the Sucks, and questioning them as to why they still shop at Active if they think it sucks. Good question? Why do people still go to Active even though we know it sucks? Today I was on scene for the production of Karl Kool'/the Mastermind behind the Chunnel's new cinematic adventure, the Sack Lunch. I liked what I saw. Mykool was skating with a top hat, and his pubes popping out.
October 24nd, 2006. Since were trying to stay on the cutting edge of the online skateworld, and since the Muska is hotter than ever, I'm glad to link the Muska Mixed Tape. I advise everyone to stay tuned with the Muska, as he is promising a new video part that I for one am dying to see.
October 22nd, 2006. Eddie Lee, aka Eddielicious, made some sweet video about the wedge. The Damn Am contest is next weekend, and our boys Moss-Man and Seansy are both calling first round disqualifications for skating either in the nude, intoxicated, or both.
October 18th, 2006. Just got a message from Karkool saying the Chunnel Bomb has exploded onto the youtube scene.
October 17th, 2006. FullClip Intro. I used Forever in Blue Jeans way before Drehobl. Check out those editing techniques. I used to be so awesome.
October 15th, 2006. I like to study, I like money, I like eating wheat bread with honey. Robert J. Puleo, Robert J. Puleo.
October 14th, 2006. Daylight savings time is coming to an end, and I've often said this is a big bummer to skateboarders. We already don't wake up till noon, then can't decide on where to go till 2, and by the the time you actually get to a spot you have 1 hour of light. Bums me out. I do have some good news, and that is I will be posting some of my favorite clips from the classic video FullClip. Starting it off with a bang of course. Donny Got Later'd.
October 12th, 2006. I'm totally drawing
a blank on anything to write. Therefore I'll resort back to old faithful,
and start making fun of Noah. Just reread most of his box, and does anybody
really know what the fuck he's talking about? We know you're into photography
and art, but most of that shit is over our head. So Noah, get back on
to this planet, or else as Irvine-Sucks web master, I'm going to cut you.
Oh yeah, decrease the food intake, and increase the postabolic output.
For anyone who reads
this and thinks I really do dislike Noah, you're totally correct. Brion
if you're listening, Billy
if you're listening. Gimme a call, I'm in the lab in the Booga Basement. Guaranteed only Barker gets those last lines.
October 8th, 2006. Some kid was staring at my trucks at hsp, and was confused on what time period I was stuck in. He didn't understand that I shred. Two shitty filmed Noah clips on little ledge across gaps that are now unskateable, causing Noah to be very sad.
October 5th, 2006. A couple of people might find this Dinosaur Jr. clip pretty funny. If J. Mascis was my dad, I'd let him party with me. Oh, and check out those people swaying in the audience. When it cuts to J's face, you can almost pin point the moment he decides to quit the band.
October 4th, 2006. For anyone who doesn't frequent the Toy Machine website, they have a new trailer for their new video. Toy Machine videos might be one of my favorite things about skateboarding.
October 1st, 2006. John Choi made this. Judging by your goofy grammar and typos, you should keep reading that SAT book.
September 29th, 2006. Remember when Chad Timtim was cool for about 3 seconds. That was funny. The guy goes from being the asshole who runs up after Justin Reynold's switch 360 flip over corner pocket and riding for world in the wet willy days, to coming up and riding for popwar, getting some legit coverage, then blowing it again by riding for element and element shoes, and having that bullshit "6 figures" intro in his TWS part. Skateboarding is totally lame, and so is following that type of shit. Chris G. doesn't care about that.
September 28th, 2006. Incase you didn't see the newspaper article, Blake Reigle made a movie. Plus the website puts ours to shame.
September 27th, 2006. Want to know a little nugget of information that might suprise you? Back in the day, Noah Spindler noseslid that curvy 16 stair handrail at UCI. The same one Heath tailslid in Sight Unseen. Unfortunately the footage was taped over, and was lost for ever. Heres a clip of Moss showing off a hidden talent. So the lakai video is supposedly starring 16 people (and thats counting the royal family and the french connection as only 2 people). I hope this doesn't mean people like Rick Howard only have 5 tricks, in classic Girl family form.
September 24th, 2006. It's been brought to our attention that the site has been sucking lately. Suck it. Heres some hot footage of Abo, the heart and soul of this place. This is proof the site is not on a decline. I'm going to get a petition going so Rich will stop posting links to online petitions. I landed a halfcab flip in a line today.
September 21th, 2006. Some how my computer ate all of Sean's footage and pooped it out into a "Unix Executable File", which is not so good. I got 30 tapes to now go through, and that doesn't even account for the shit Rich has. I love computers. As I was wondering through tapes I found this clip. Don't call him a filmer, hes a cold blooded killer.
September 19th, 2006. I heard Moss is leaving Irvine-Sucks and going to ride for Plan B. Sell out. John Choi says the Uni 3 ledge is officially done. Pole action at both ends. As soon as Irvine got a new hot spot, it got stopped. John also informed me with the fact that he is currently friendless at Uni and has even been heard saying "I've been lookin' for love in all the wrong places."
September 16th, 2006. Check this out. Hot AVE Action! Wait till the end when he completely feasts on those skater-built ledges in LA. Just proving why he is probably the greatest skater on the face of the earth right now.
September 12th, 2006. I wonder how many people out there reading this have been lucky enough to be shitting and barfing at the same time. And I'm not talking about normal poo. This was a flood of ass water. I was so disgusted, it made me barf even harder. Anyone who wants to lend me or sell me a VX1000 battery charger, email me.
September 10th, 2006. Richard just made his 69th post. I just heard that our friend Abo recently made a trip to the Birdman's nest. Thats right, Tony Hawk let that crazy persian playboy into his house. I think this clip is super rad and funny. Just like Cairo.
September 8th, 2006. If you haven't checked out Dave Carney's article on the Portland Frank over at the Future Magazine, I'd recommend scoping it now. Chris Greeley, Happy Birthday, a couple days late.
September 4th, 2006. Noah's got some sick new photos up. Check em out. We all went to San Diego this weekend, and we all got broke, and Steven got heated. He focused boards like he was pro and shit.
August 30th, 2006. I hope I'm not the only one who thinks that Sean and Abo both wearing gloves is lame. It might be San Francisco, but it's still the summer. Plus I hate people who skate in gloves, unless they are the following skaters: Welsh, most of the Red Dragons, and of course Rowley.
August 28th, 2006. Finally I got some good news. Some how my camera kind of started to work. Now more importantly, I finally made the much anticipated Primal Testicle Live Album. It's way too bad ass. Although, Homoud Alzeman is no longer with us, he will be suceeded by his cousin Hamad Alkhaldi.
August 26th, 2006. So about 3 months ago I moved back into my parent's house. I was not that bummed on it until today, when all my faux IDs were snagged with total disregard for my feelings. While some might see this post as irrelevant, it's acually to help the underage readers cope with the loss of Homoud Alzeman. Homoud, you will be missed.
August 23rd, 2006. I hope no one expects the video, a new montage, or anything footage wise to be coming any time soon. Sorry this place is shitty right now. I was going to post some old footage, but I got too tired. But just so this post wasn't a total waste of time I'm going to give the readers instructions on how to tell the most awesome knock knock joke ever, courtesy of Jonny Fryer. Step 1. Approach unsuspecting jerk, preferably one who gets disgusted about poop, and say "Knock knock." Step 2. After they reply with "Knock knock who?" answer with "I eat mop." Trust me. It will be totally worth it.
August 20th, 2006. Summer break is done. Rich is in SD and Brion is in Berkley. Now go watch his second nature part posted in Rich's box. Oh yeah, I saw Daniel Castillo on the freeway last night. I yelled at him "Go pro next year."
August 17th, 2006. In backyard mini news, Brion Baer did the first successful bomb drop from the fence, along with bomb drop finger flip.
August 16th, 2006. Recently we've been getting emails telling us Billy is featured on the El Toro Handrail Wikipedia page. Well, we've known this for as long as that page has existed. This is because Brion Baer, free lance wikipediest/Irvine-Sucks veteran created that El Toro page, along with others that were not so successful.
August 14th, 2006. I'm going to go ahead and say my trick in the montage was the sickest. Billy's was sick too because it was all from last saturday. You know that filmer in Baker2G "Hoops" whose camera breaks. That guy is a total idiot. If there was a 100 dumbest guys in skateboarding list, he'd be up there. Along with the guy who filmed and made 16below, and Taylor Corner from Active Orange.
August 10th, 2006. The KO kids are making another video.
August 9th, 2006. I really do not like skateboarders. I'd probably go with 60% of them are super dumb. Just recently someone emailed us with a montage with some sick skating that was totally ruined by these kids' wacky outfits and fake ass style. I'm totally over all that. What I do like is when I cruise up to the local library, and I see a crew of about 7 little skate kids slumming around the outside asking people for change. Yep, in Irvine. Plus when I walked out one of the kids was laying on the ground humming the Van Morrison song used in Cameron's part in ProgNEG. I also think one of them yelled "Irvine Sucks" as I got into my car. I felt like a celebrity. I really only told that story so people think I'm a smart guy who goes to the library. Later that day I also went to Barnes and Nobles. But they did not have any Thrashers so I was bummed.
August 7th, 2006. Kids at HSP call me lazy because I don't update this place often enough for them. Rich, we want more Second Nature.
August 3rd, 2006. Next time I hear someone say to me "When are you getting your camera fixed?" or even better "Fix that camera" Im gonna kill them. Rich, I'm sorry I told you to quit posting Moss clips. I should have said lay off on the Moss fellatio. Noah Spindler, Noah Krom says your box sucks. Deal with it. Thanks to everyone who emailed us. I guess I'll keep this place going. Atleast until next time it goes under.
August 1st, 2006. Only a month left of summer. Pretty crappy. Rich quit posting clips of Moss. It bores me. Plus it gives him a reason to say I owe him for giving us the majority of the footage around here, which is sad but true. Oh yeah, I have not recieved one thank you email about getting this place running and only one person has given me a "good job". Thanks guys. I guess Skatin' Steve is the only one who knows I can shut this place down instantly, leaving little kids at hsp clueless on the Irvine scene. I'm thinking about adding a guitar hero forumn to the site.
July 30th, 2006. So sorry about the lack of updates for the past 2 weeks, but a lot of shit happened and the site took a turn for the worst. Luckily I've come through again and put too much effort into it and fixed it. Good news for all you jerks that probably don't care about how hard it was to fix this shit, there is a new Arizona montage in the box to the right. Now for some bad news. Our boy John Choi broke his ankle. Such a bummer. Also the Arizona heat broke my camera, seriously. I just made an ultra secret ultra intense boneSTORM promo. It may or may not be on the site. Check this montage that Billy and Jordan are in. By the way, I was up until four in the monrning fixing and updating this site, so I'm expecting all you readers out there to write me a thank you email for making this place work again. I'm especially demanding Richard writes one. Title it "Nick, we love you, thanks for all the hard work, tough break kid, get drunk on me, use the ice to ice down your marbles." July 12th, 2006. For any Sonic Youth fans out there, I saw Kim's nipple. For any Massimo fans out there, on his first attempt at legally purchasing a tall boy he was denied. Speaking of nipples, Brett Nichols. What a trip. The Alex Barker retirement part is up in Rich's box. Zing.
July 9th, 2006. Go down to Richard's box and watch the intro to Second Nature. After we finish BoneStorm (Finish BoneStorm is almost an oxymoron) I want Richard to take control of a new video, and name it Richard's Reign of Terror. I think this name is appropriate because if you look back, after every video Rich has made, he has made an enemy along with it. Irvine $ucks lead to the Karch Coon break up (who I'm pretty sure thought of the name "Irvine Sucks" which would later be stolen and used as the name of our website where we would create a legion of fans hanging on our every word), Videograph got Parsia heated, and Second Nature ended with Max and Rich on not so great terms. He runs a tight ship and some just can't handle the Rich program. I bet Jonny Fryer couldn't hang in the Rich program.
July 7th, 2006. Since this place is kind of dead, I'm going to do what I'm best at, make fun of people I don't know. Recently at any skatepark you go to, you'll see a wide array of skaters of all ages. This is great. This shows that skateboarding is so awesome that there is no age limit. But something that I find very annoying within our little skate world is how little kids have the image first and foremost. Before they can properly push, they already got their look. They either all have the tight krew pants with some new era hat, or they have over sized everthing. What happened to the elastic shorts and gotcha t-shirt that I grew up skating in. Whatever, times are changing, and image is everything. Plus, Noah Spindler has a theory that the kooks in skateboarding usually get canceled out in the long hall. So John Choi has been back for five days and I've skated with him once. Talk about not worth the hype. This pretty much sums up our 4th of July. The Grucci.
July 5th, 2006. My internet connection is really a bust. Lit off so many fireworks last night and got a chopper with a search light sent out for us. Two grucci's will do that. Happy Birthday Eddie.
July 2nd, 2006. We're having internet problems over here at Irvine-Sucks headquarters, so updates might be a bit sparse for the next couple of days. John Choi is back. Look forward to seeing him kill it in the future. Alex Barker got a new car, and some people, Noah, are questioning his sexuallity.
June 28th, 2006. I took the quarter pipe video down because it pretty much sucked. Cameron Furlong Knee Status Update: Lameron is going in for his final knee surgery in a couple of weeks, and should be on a board in a few months after that. Shit, it's been a year since he got taken out, such a bummer. I've always liked this clip. What I don't like is Moss expecting me to give him free brownies because he puts out half of the footage on the site. Whatever Moss, you screwed me out of all that dirty dirty Rocko cash. Such a boring website.
June 26th, 2006. I made a slideshow a while ago, but Barker said it stunk, so he remade it.
June 23rd, 2006. I'm having a Poster's Block. A mini go skateboarding day clip is coming soon.
June 21th, 2006. Go Skateboarding Day. Watch this before you cruise. Pat Burke is probably Irvine-Sucks favorite skateboarder East of the Mississipp. Now go out and cruise. June 20th, 2006. While camping Alex found a 2000 watt generator, and Jonny became addicted to skoll.
June 17th, 2006. Going Campin'. Site won't be updated until I return. I'll leave you with Jonny's fake "Noah Post" So on the bitter end of a usual boring Tuesday after finishing my humdrum
job. On a chronic Tuesday night I would either hang out with my girlie
wirlie friend or be jerkin my gherkin, but not on this particular weekday.
I decided to reemerge at my old stomping grounds—Harvard Skate Park—so
I could see how this place was faring without el heffe. As I gallivanted
across the front gate, radiant with joy, I was stopped by this new and
improved Harvard park worker. He told me I need kneepads to enter this
skate heaven; I was flabbergasted. Not since the smoking gun proved Nixon's
hand in the Watergate scandal have I heard such an injustice. I felt this
swelling of rage come over me as I slapped this blue-collar worker. This
slap did not prove to be the relief for my angst against this establishment
so I did as all great Americans would do: I pulled out my camera. I decided
I would go with my 8 and a half by 11 multi digital Panasonic gerbobulatar
to expose the scandal being exhibited at this local training facility.
I took some good shots of kids airing over the spine and landing some
fat tricks with kneepads on. One I realized I had taken enough pictures
to erect a skateboarding army that could rival the Romans I knew my job
was done. So once again I did what all great Americans would do in a moment
like this: I beer bonged a 40 of 211 and shotguned a few Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Aint nothing but a mystery.
June 17th, 2006. John Choi has announced the date for his triumphent return and is scheduled to be back in Irvine in about two weeks. It will be good to have you back John. Also Abo got served up by a trip wire yesterday and I'm pretty sure he ended up with a concusion. I hope you're feeling better Abo. I'm probably going to take down the old Progneg parts pretty soon so watch them while you can. It's eating up our bandwidth. Thats also why I need this.
June 14th, 2006. You must check this out. Active speaks out about the injustices of our site. I especially like his repsonse "Sucks for him." Oh, if words could ever persponify the Active employee. I'll refrain from more comments because everyone already knows Active sucks and we are awesome. And his repsonse pretty much speaks for itself.
June 14th, 2006. The curtains, Brion's part. Brion totally held it down in this video part. His motivation and hammer getting ablitly was a driving force behind this production. Did you know though that Brion wanted to pull out of the video mid way through because he hated my guts for being too lazy or something like that? Imagine the NEG Brionless. Also, one time we were watching his part over at Noah's house, and when Brion slams into the table after the nollie blindside, Noah's dad said "I bet they weren't expecting him for lunch." It was sick. Arizona Trip number 2 is on the horizan. Reserve your spots.
June 12th, 2006. As you can tell, up to this point ProgNEG is kinda lacking some skill in the skateboarding department. Thats where Noah and Brion come in. Noah's part will come first, and this is probably my favorite part in the whole video. For some reason to me it fits together perfectly. Also Noah feebles hubbas, which is savage. He also has a new post up. I write Rich's posts aswell now. Skatin' Steve showed me this. Watch the video clip. Welsh jams econo. This is for Greeley. June 10th, 2006. Here's the friends section of Prognosis Negative. It stars (in order of appearance) Abo, Dan Albert, Johnnie Tsunami, Karch, Damian, Sean Weikel, Mike Lee, Sandro and Massimo. Kind of a motley assortment of skaters. So anywho, in 11 days, that go skateboarding day thing goes down. How about an organized massive hill bomb contester, and the winner (still not sure how this could be judged) will recieve a box full of skate bootie. Freshy decks, kicks, whatevs. So if you're an Irvine loc, and you want to bomb a sweet hill with like 20 other shredders you should come out, I think. If it goes down, I'll have more info within the week.
June 8th, 2006. Finally, what you have all been waiting for, your favorite web master's part from Prognosis Negative. Check it out, I skate stairs fakie and shit, it's totally out of control. My part. I know Mike Sun's part should have been the next one posted, but that part has been stricken from the video. The reason being Mike does not skate anymore and he didn't even show up when we played it at castle park. Also he thinks that pop shuvit sex changes and pop shuvs sex change to rock are not only acceptable tricks, but cool tricks. Maybe I'll post his part later. Kershnar? This guy sold me a Great American board for like 15 bucks once, and fell in a gutter outside my house.
June 6th, 2006. The Super 8 montage. If Jonny thinks that post I made for his part was emo, watch the super 8 montage. Ahh memories. Dude, Brion just peaces to New York? Since when? I still do not understand why other people come here. I can see why a select 10 kids do, but otherwise, this whole site is complete bullshit. Speaking of bullshit that only 10 kids will understand, the official 2006 OTL Summer Season is almost underway and opening day is this Friday. I'm gonna need to see Long Ball Paul out there, and hopefully Mike Adair has recovered from his muscle inbalance injury that plagued his 2005 season. Eddie Lee is bringing the skoll and promising free lippers for all.
June 4th, 2006. I'm not going to post another part from the video because I want to let Jonny's part soak in a little. So Noah has been trying to slurp some sips from the Hateraid I see. Well listen up Flanders, maybe we'll take your crap talking seriously when you proof read a little. Speaking of Jonny, don't light off fireworks outside his house after midnight, his neighbors are wussbags.
June 3rd, 2006. The next installment of old ProgNEG parts will be Jonny Fryer's. This kid has come a long way in my mind. He was one of my first amigos that I started filming with, and it's a trip to think we've skated and filmed together since the 8th grade. Although he claims he's ashamed of this part, he still has one of the most money kickflips in the video, and he ollied Northwood 15 when he was 15. Plus he had two intros, thats kinda awesome right. This part also shows his progression on a skateboard, as will his new part in the BoneStorm, which is coming along slowly, like a good pot of slow cooked beans from Del Taco. The new transwold video just premiered. That should be pretty solid. Who remembers when Timtim went to hsp and got made fun of? Oh shit, Noah Spindler turns 20 today. Holy crap, half my friends aren't teenagers anymore. Talk about depressing.
May 31th, 2006. I know I said expect a new part up every week, but I decided to go with every post. A lot of dumb kids out there are not familiar with the history of Irvine skatevids, and it's truly a shame. They are not familiar with the true Irvine $ucks video (something I had nothing to do with) or anything that came before or after. I mean, kids are missing out on I$, The Chunnel Bomb, Videograph (Only watch Rich's part),FullClip, and the list goes on. And this is the reason I'm posting the whole video post by post. To get the kids familiar with what we do. The next part up is Cameron's part. Probably one of most enjoyable things I have ever made. Cameron was such a chipper young boy at this time. Plus, check out those high waters. Who would have thought he would turn into the punk that would give me a wet willy and later have his shirt torn from his body. Rich, Noah... As co-irvine-sucks staffers, I'm gonna need you guys to do some things for me. Noah, spice it up. No body wants to read about your school life or whatever. Write about encounters with Smellarosa or your trifecta of asian counterparts. Now for Rich, you are going to have to not send me files from the future. The fact that you are giving me clips from July of 2006 is really fucking up my "date modified" column. For anyone who attended the end of the casa party, Guy Razz (Sometimes immaturely referred to as "Gay" Razz) is not a friend of the homeowners, nor a friend of the Sucks. Who actually read all that. Bummin'.
May 29th, 2006. Guess what happened two years ago. Expect a new section up about once every week.
May 24th, 2006. To whom ever this may concern, I'm posting the new montage on Saturday May 27th no matter what. So please if you do not have a lot of tricks in it, or any for that matter, go out with myself and/or Rich and film a damn trick. I did not want to let it turn into another Moss-tage, but it just might. Want to know what can make summer that much more enjoyable? Around $600 of fireworks.
May 23rd, 2006. So close to summer vacation. Massimo showed me this a while ago. Pretty cool guys skating some pretty familiar shit. Should be a rad video. Here are two clips that we got a couple of days ago. Straight from the Tustin/Irvine border, these just weren't good enough to make the montage. Check that gloomy weather, I thought it was almost summer. Rich, quit posting good footy. Save some for credits footy dude. June 21st, get ready to lube up those bearings.
May 20th, 2006. Got a whole bunch of hot clips last night, kinda. It seems like everyone on the sesh was a little constipated, judging by the grunts. Noah's post would have been up earlier, but I fucked some of the photos up in classic Nick fuck up form. So don't blame Noah for the tardiness. Yikes, I just scoped that picture of me flippin' the bird. My grill looks gnarly. I'm thinking about going into photoshop and making my teeth straighter and whiter. The montage is pretty much done, and we got some new faces making their first appearences. We just need to fill up six or seven more seconds and it will be done. Brion, I'm gonna need you to fill that time. No montage has been Baer-less, and I'll be damned if it happens under my watch. Keep on the look out for Montage 5 in next couple of posts.
May 18th, 2006. The theme for today's posts is Brion used to be a go getter and film tricks, even if they were wacky. Here's a funky bs one footed tail ride. (Note: the back trucks aren't actually grinding.) I don't know what it is, but man Brion get on it. I mean, last montage you came in with only one line and so far you got the big old goose egg on this one. Something must be tearin' you from your skateboading. Get it, "...tearin'". Guuaal. One more week of school, then summer begins. How excellent. I stuck a noseslide fakie on this behemoth ledge across gap today. I think this is the first time I agree with Richard about his whole post, especially the Danny Provolone situation.
May 15th, 2006. If you aren't getting your fix of mini Irvine vids you should check this. Those are some of the minivids I made prior to the site. The 5th montage is pretty close to being complete. I know it has been a while since the last one dropped. I'll give it about two more weeks tell we're done. Make sure your calender is empty on June 21st.
May 13th, 2006. Sorry, the sites been a little dead lately. I think irvine-sucks is going to venture away from skateboarding, and get strictly into water ballooning high school dances.
May 9th, 2006. "Dear Webmaster, Sincerely, Alex G. Barker Alex also included in his email a picture of what seems like yours truly partying with some klansmen. To avoid controversy, I'll refrain from posting. Actually here it is. Take this lightly dudes. There's some talk about having an Irvine-Sucks sponsored contest of sorts in the near future. More news at a later date.
May 8th, 2006. This saturday night I realized something very important. Mini ramps should never be skated unless you and your hombres made a little trip to the beer store before. Noah’s promising photos in his next post documenting “Pabst Jam 2006.” Highlights of the night include Abo cutting his lip up trying to shotgun a beer, Moss getting a beer box jammed over his head mid blunt fakie, my foot catching a snag on a screw where there's a big hole in my shoe resulting in a deep gouge that would be treated with duct tape bandages, and of course Noah pushing Alex off the deck into the bushes mid pee. Sorry Richard. Interesting weekend. Here's some goofy footage from a goofy guy. Skatin' Steve is back on his board after being on the injured list for 3 months. Check out how dirty his butt got on the ollie. This is because he stuck it 100 times and couldn't ride away for some reason. He got really angry and it was pretty funny.
May 3rd, 2006. Here's a clip from four
years ago. Brion and Sean doing some flip into handrail shit. The
filming is sooo awesome. This is back when I filmed with my little panasonic.
I like to call it the panachronic. Brion thinks he's cool because he's going the way of Richard Bacon, and getting out from behind the Orange Curtain. Brion, I called Drehobl up and told him to watch out for you at Berkeley Park. I told him to look for the kid wearing a bike helmet, with knee pads out side of his dickies and a consolidated shirt, doing 360 flips down quarters pipes or drinking out of a mason jar. |
