Old Shit.

Borrrring. New stuff.

April 30th, 2006.

We got an email from John Choi today. This is it:

"Hey its John. So i bought this board for 90 bucks and wrecked it in like 30 minutes trying to film a trick so i can force a trick into a montage or just film a trick because its been so long. Nice spots are in seoul so it takes like 4 hours by train. I'll be back during the summer though. I thought I'd write a email because i enjoy wasting my time. I can go on instant messenger, but nobodys ever on when i am so i don't even bother anymore. I definately am not "crazy legs" as richard mentioned but i wish i was. And how come noah doesn't skateboard anymore, i can see he complains about skateboarding but i never see footage of him. i thought i'd send some janky skating as well as terrible filming. the first angle was my idea, but the filmer disagreed. I told him to get my angle but he changed it without my consent. oh and i wanna see chunnel, and whatever other local videso came out. i probably go on irvine-sucks like 20 times a day, which is kinda stupid cause you guys update like once a month, but it gives me hope. hah

This is John, writing about whatever came to mind at the time. Also practicing english.
ok bye"

John, we would post your video clip, but its a wmv file. Make it a mov and we'll talk turkey. As for Noah not skating, the incomplete 5th montage reeks of Spindler.

April 27th, 2006.

It's still pretty funny to think that this shitty website some how reaches more than 5 people a day. Do you guys not look at the site? It's crap. It's essentially me complaining, Rich talking about Moss or Sean, Noah doing whatever he does over there, and footage of Moss, Sean, or Billy.

Since some people do enjoy coming here, I'll do them a favor and post some of the following rumors I either created, helped create, still believe, or am trying to start about the Irvine skate scene:

1. Richard Bacon is related to Kevin Bacon, and often times Kevin visits where he, Rich’s Dad, and his band, the Bacon Brothers jam in Rich’s garage. (I’m actually pretty positive this is true.)
2. Jonny Fryer dabbles with Mexican Mud.
3. Massimo Cavedoni went on a date one year for Valentine’s Day.
4. Cameron Furlong tore his ACL from jerkin’ his gerkin too hard in the shower.
5. Noah Spindler as a young boy was caught filming a sponsor video at the skate park they used to set up at city hall.
6. Noah Spindler got arrested at Northwood High school one night for trying to steal $10,000 dollars of computer equipment.
7. Nick Petrilla went to Ryan Sheckler's 16th birthday party and ended up passed out naked in the bath room surrounded with pinto beans.
8. Peter Smolik skated with a boner and fell on it, resulting in a broken boner. (I know it’s not Irvine related, but it’s funny.)
9. Alex Barker’s favorite and go to roller blade grind is a top soul.(Pretty sure this is true too.)
10. Gil did a frontboard to nose manual off the curb at Andersen 8.
11. Massimo Cavedoni once played 27 holes at Strawberry Farms with Ronnie Creager, ending with Moss getting kicked off Blind for breaking the head off his putter in the million dollar 9th green.
12. Richard Bacon’s nickname in high school was Richard Bakin’ and was always down to put 5 on it.
13. Brion Baer had an eating disorder.
14. Last year, for a Christmas gift, Moss received a lighter and a bag of Whoppers. (Cameron Furlong speculates this to be true.)
15. Karl Burian was supposed to have a full part in Richard’s video “Second Nature” but pulled his footage when Rich wouldn’t let Karl use the Misfits song “Angel Fuck.” He later dropped all his footage in the Chunnel Bomb.
16. Brion Baer is Mormon.
17. Noah Spindler is Mormon.
18. Skatin’ Steve considered converting to Judaism just for the Manischewitz.
19. Brett Nichols received a curbie and had his throat kicked in at a Metallica concert.
20. Michael Sun had to quit skateboarding to take care of his illegitimate child.

Since Rich posts links, I'll post link too. Mike Lee's whole part.

 

April 23rd, 2006.

K.O. video premiered. Pretty excellent I thought. Irvine kicks out some pretty awesome rippers in my opinion. Jon Demar and Justin Figs held it down. Good job to everyone involved with that.

Here's little throw away clip I filmed of Jon Demar a couple of days ago. Filming was bad. He's a chiller as well.

Moss had a beer before and then stumbled down the isles when he came in. If this was not embarrassing enough, every time he got the chance he yelled "(insert person's name here) for president!" I had to sit next to this the whole night. Got pretty old by the end of the video. Oh yeah, he also, for the second time, gave out footage I filmed with out expressed written consent.

 

April 21st, 2006.

At this tender age of 19, I'm beginning to believe that what I find important in my life is not going to be sufficient to make it in this environment of living we have created for ourselves. Of course this is what college is for right? Right? I’ve just about completed my first year at an institute of higher learning, and I still have no idea about anything, except I still have much to do, and skateboarding isn’t going to be able to help me with it. When in my younger years, I always thought High School was it, then you went to college and got your life going. Then when I entered high school, this changed. I realized that there was still much more to do, and now that I’m in college I’m seeing there is even more after that. College is what I like to call a scam. It seems like a never ending road of misery. There are a few things that really upset me with the whole college deal, and this is what they are: Out of state tuition. This limits dumb kids like myself to the Cal State system which is totally bogus. GE courses, also known as more things to hate before getting where you want to be. The Students. Everyone there seems as if they have something to prove. Be yourself college kids. Being forced to settle much too often. I am talking about settling on what school to go to, what classes are open, what major to choose and things like that. This all just ends up with one settling on their future and goals in life. This often brings me to the idea of having a degree in skateboarding. Obviously not the physical aspect of it, because I’m pretty bad at skateboarding, but everything else. I know quite a bit of useless information about skateboarding, and anything related to it, and it is probably taking up the space that should be filled with math equations or important dates in history. Take Richard Bacon for example. He is one of those kids I like to refer to as a skateboard encyclopedia. He knows all the new hot tricks in every new video and magazine. He knows who rides for what company and all that garbage. He knows the spots, the shops, and the kids. Now take Sean Weikel. He has so much knowledge of California freeways and roads strictly because of skateboarding. It’s unfortunate that all of these skateboard facts can’t get us job being a skateboard researcher or something like that. It can only benefit us for our leisure, which is pretty much the only reason why the majority of us skateboard. So I guess I shouldn’t see this is as a problem, but just a fun thought to wrap your brain around. The real problem is when skateboarding is no longer about the leisure and the good times, but instead about being in style or marketable. The first thing that comes to mind that fits this description is of course Active. Maybe it was started for the right reasons, but it sure is not like that anymore. It’s turning skateboarding into an image, and selling it to little girls.

Weird post. Noah and Moss a while ago.

 

April 18th, 2006.

Cameron says I should post more footage of him. Here you go man.

The K.O. video starring Figgy and other local rippers premieres this Saturday night. Should be sick.

Noah needs to hurry up and get some more photos on the site. It's getting pretty dry.

Montage 5 still in the works. Sorry.

 

April 15th, 2006.

Wow, I just thought about what a dork our friend Noah Spindler is. He claims he's anti-Nike, but at the same time he was quick to support the “Plan B Revival”. Fuck the new Plan B. Seems like another way for young up and comers to learn how to sell out. Well, I guess the same distribution that gave us Phantom trucks must be legitimate and be looking out for the betterment of skateboarding, instead of trying to cash in on a name that's synonymous with awesome skating. Plan B was brought back the wrong way, in this webmaster's eyes.

Also this Edinger ledge across gap that Noah is losing his shit over is whack. It was a blessing from the skate gods that that thing is gone.

Brion? Oh yeah, he used to skate.

Theres some sort of new video up in the content box. The plus side of the video is the Van Morrison soundtrack, and the homo erotic touching. The down side is it's too Massimo heavy (pretty much like this whole site) and it looks like I just learned how to skate. Everything else is sweet though.

 

April 14th, 2006.

Rain is no good.

Check this clip. This is from back in the day when my hair flowed like wine, and I had crazy pop.

 

April 12th, 2006.

Here's a guest post by a member of our San Francisco chapter, Chris Greeley:

Review: You In Reverse

After a 5 year hiatus from their last album, Ancient Melodies of the Future, Built to Spill is back with a pretty sickie gnar gnar album, You In Reverse. Rumors had it that front man lead vox/lead shredder/songwriter Doug Martsch “donned denim overalls and a straw hat while drinking from a flask marked XXX in the bayou playing these songs,” referring to Martsch’s solo single album career in 2002 Now You Know. The rest of the guys, who knows.
First off, I’m gonna call it out that Douglas Martsch derives all and every last drop of power, badassness, and sweetness from his beard. And it shows in this album, as this is the longest I have ever seen that beard. Though B to Speez took a totally different approach in this album, it doesn’t make it any less awesome than their other masterpieces. One, it took 5 years – talk about wanting perfection. Two, they added long time performing guitarist Jim Roth, and if I may say so myself, wales and has a pretty sick stage presence. He looked like he should have been in Pennywise with that flex fit hat and baggy jeans. Anyways, welcome aboard Jimbo. Thirdly, Douglas took a backseat in writing all the music this album, and everyone in the band had written their own parts. Talk about a good move. It gave it a completely new jammish style, with free flowin licks and fills that blow the mind. You can tell the drums don’t seem as technical, as well as the bass, but it fuckin works.
Don’t expect outrageousness, as you know BTS to be. I mean, don’t get me wrong, You In Reverse is outrageously good. Starts off with a banger, their single, “Goin’ Against Your Mind,” which has easily been in the works for well over a year, seeing as they had played it last May at HOB in Aneheineken, or at least that’s what me and webmaster Nicky P. thinks. Anyways, don’t be expecting to get the heaviness of “Goin’ Against Your Mind” and “Conventional Wisdom” throughout the entire album. In between are songs that soothe the soul with soft and subtle vocals. This one of my little perks about the album. Martschy boy isn’t strainin’ for those high notes, rather, keeping it simple. Listen to “Liar” and you will hear what I’m talking about. Oh, and for a little liner note, for some reason, every single odd track is money. I’m not saying the rest aren’t, cuz they most definitely are, but the first time I listened through this baby, the odds for sure won me over.
“Just a Habit” and “The Wait” are gonna have to be my fav’s off this album. Personally, I’m just into Martch’s reverbed vocals and simplicity. I’m telling you, don’t be fooled by Jim and Doug, cuz they rip, but I’m gonna have to give it up to drummer Scott Plouf and bassist Brett Nelson for holding this masterpiece together. They are the glue. They make it solid.
If you think Dougy boy has no Neil Young influence, which I’m hopin you aren’t stupid enough to think, scope out track 5, “Wherever You Go,” and track 7, “Gone,” and tell me NY isn’t listening to that and saying “I like this guy.” Though you may not be weighed down like a rock, rather, floating like feather while listening to this gem, you still gots to give props to your boys, Built To Spill. You got the same song form, free flowin’, off the wallness with random ass chord changes. Also, you got the simplicity, yet powerfulness of Doug’s lyrics as well as deliverance in his vocals. Don’t forget about Brett Neston, who has a little cameo in “Goin’ Against Your Mind,” “Conventional Wisdom,” “Gone,” and “Just a Habit.” Also, Sam Coomes coming in on organ for “Gone.”
I’m telling ya, don’t get hung up on those myspace singles. Go out and get this cd for 10.84 (after tax) at Tower Records, and maybe even pick up some tix to see them at a location nearest you. It will be worth it. You may even get to see Ape Shape perform. If anyone can find their home webpage, seriously, I want it. They are nowhere to be found.

 

April 10th, 2006.

Want to hear a funny story? Somehow people are getting linked to the site by googling the word bukakae. Gross.

So that day I filmed the Sheckler, Chad Bartie was there too. Can I get in trouble for posting footage of people I don't know, especially huge Australians?

 

April 7th, 2006.

Plenty to talk about these days.

Mainly, Active getting upset about our little site we got here. I even got a phone call from an anonymous Active employee who proposed I gather a posse and we rumble outside of the Active at 9:30 last night. True story. Active is the equivelent to pooping and wiping your butt when it's really sweaty. It ruins something you really enjoy.

I saw the Enjoi video finally. Jose Ro Who? Holy Moly that dude is a ripper. I obviously got love for any skater that shreds at 6 feet off the ground. And the fact he used a Van Morrison song was totally excellent. Oh yeah, Jerry Hsu is on another planet. And he used a Sonic Youth song. You can't lose.

Noah Spindler is officially a Daddy. Check out his spawn in the lower right corner. I wanted to call it "Noah's Bagels" but he wouldn't have that. I'm keeping the name thats there though because I'm a webmaster and I don't give a god damn.

Richard has literally been begging me to start posting videos again. "The kids love the videos." he says. Well since I didn't get him a birthday gift this year, I guess I'll start posting videos again. Happy Birthday Rich. This is a clip of Brion trying to skate a little out of the box. What do you think guys? Stick to the three flips B Bri.

Whoa long post.

 

April 5th, 2006.

The word on the street is that good ol' Active Irvine got wind of our good publicity we've been giving them, and I'm most likely banned.

36. Wouldn’t sell a certain Irvine-Sucks member a copy of the Flip video because of the fact it says must be older than 37 or whatever it said. Obviously the hip can’t have a sense of humor.
37. “Can’t make it as just a skate shop.”
38. How many employees there straighten their hair? Not counting the girls.
39. Girl employee, who couldn’t be older than 18, try and belittle shredders by saying “Can I see some I.D. little man?”
40. They don’t send us boxes of skate goodies for being the most awesome website coming out of Irvine. Thanks Utility ; ).

HSP NEWS: Although the one dumb guy that made you wear full pads left, the new guys are just as lame, and enforcing the same rule. So not only does the skateshop suck in Irvine, but so does the skatepark. Only thing they got going for it is this website.

 

April 3rd, 2006.

The last trip was definitely interesting to say the least. Although rain put a damper on the majority of skating and filming, a couple tricks were filmed. On the other hand, a lot of other memorable things happened. These things include me getting slapped in the face by some random woman walking up the street by the 2 to 4 ledge thing, Noah's car breaking down in a not so desirable place, then being forced to pay some hoods for "helping push the car." And of course what trip to San Francisco would be complete with out getting put in a head lock by the secruity gaurds at the china banks. Ah, Frisco.

(100 reasons why Active blows continued)

26. They are a proud sponser of the Irvine High football team.
27. They carry far too many pairs of designer jeans.
28. The music played in the store is pretty crappy.
29. The posters on the window have pretty close to nothing to do with skateboarding, but instead girls with big sunglasses. Hooray.
30. 10:1 odds a customer in active has never skated in their life.
31. 20:1 odds a customer in active does not skate now.
32. You usually have to get pumped up for a heated arguement every time you go in there.
33. If they ever read this, or knew who I was, I’d probably get banned from going there.
34. They have the power to run little legitimate shops out of business, using walmart style tactics.
35. Do not exchange indy 149s, because they are afriad of the shredders that can handle such massive trucks.

More to come amigos.

March 28th, 2006.

I was going to complete the list of of anti-active-isms, but I decided to point out something else on my nerves. Noah Spindler has become a bigger hater than ever. He always has some gripe about something. Either it's "Nick, I can't believe you filmed it like that." or "Nick, I know that trick is probably one of the better things you have ever pulled, but you should probably go back, but this time ride away faster." This post is for you Noah, quit hating so much.

Oh yeah, Noah, Moss-Man, and I are leaving Southern California for a while. Unless Rich hacks into the Irvine-Sucks database, expect a postless site for a while.

But too keep you company while we're gone, here's some footy of Cameron, Sean, a mustachioed me, and Eddie Lee. I know I said I was over posting clips, but this is a exception.

 

March 27th, 2006.

The name of this post will be simply called "100 Reasons Why Active Blows".

Over the years in Orange County, Irvine especially, many legitimate skate shops have come and gone. Unfortunately, One has been looming it's ugly head for about 5 years, and failure for this shop does not seem to be on the horizon. Active sucks, plain and simple. Here is a list explaining why:

1. They sell girls underwear.
2. I think one employee there skates.
3. Bad grip jobs.
4. “Oh, it might say that all active decks are on sale, but that doesn’t actually mean all of them.”
5. When you ask an employee for an 8.25 shop deck, they give you dumbest of stares and go get a less incompetent co worker.
6. They complain about gripping 8.25s. You shouldn’t have offered to grip it, dick.
7. They have a “Bro me a penny” dish at the front counter.
8. The skateboards are pushed to the very back corner, taking up maybe 5% of the store.
9. “What, we’ve never heard of that policy, since when has independent had a life time guarantee?”
10. “Oh you called Independent and they confirmed the policy? Well, don’t come into my store with that kind of attitude.” Ask Alex, it's a good story.
11. Skatin’ Steve is sponsored by them.
12. Eric Sellers was too.
13. Have you seen some of the art on the walls?
14. I mean all of the art.
15. Jumped to opportunity to carry awesome products such as “Ollie pop gum” and “Skaterade”.
16. It's easier to find girl's skateboarding products than Girl Skateboards product.
17. Not once have I seen them play a video in the store.
18. “Bro, do you know how much it would cost to have shop copies of all those videos?”
19. When discussing the topic of skateboarding in an english class, a girl uses the statement of “Well, I work at active, so I think I would know.” to argue with yours truly.
20. They probably don’t have www.irvine-sucks.com bookmarked.
21. The employees have tattoos, but they’re pussies.
22. The employees have too many piercings, and they’re pussies.
23. They catch on to awesome skateboarders scamming them too quickly.
24. Since when has 2 pairs of shoes for 85 dollars been considered a sale. (Thanks Noah)
25. I think about ten 13 year old girls work there, and they’ve never gripped a board.

Expect reasons 26-100 coming at a later date.

 

March 23rd, 2006.

Richard is a bitch.

 

March 20th, 2006.

Straight from the mouth (or keyboard) of Justin Figueroa:

Gosh, the people of the KO crew are extremely sorry for our irresponsiblitly to have the date of the KO video premiere moved around so much. It is official, it will be on the 22 of April at 7:00pm at the Woodbridge Villa Center (the sketchy one, with Ruby's and the triple Kink) at the Movie Theater. Very sorry for the delays, in the mean time Eat me.

Can't wait for that video. Should be great. I love local Irvine videos, don't you.

 

March 18th, 2006.

BoneStorm has been canceled due to lack of hustle, deal with it.

On a happier note, I was just joking. Dorks.

I am pleased to say that Irvine-Sucks.Com is getting a new addition to the family. Noah Spindler of ProgNEG fame has come forward and is going to be taking over the bottom right box, sometimes referred to as the bone yard. He will be sharing with you boneheads a collection of photos he has snapped over the years, documenting the hottest of skating and other shit that Irvine has to offer. Hopefully Noah gives this site some much needed class and flavor. Maybe he'll even hate on a couple of issues that he's fed up with, he is very angry young man. Expect his column up very soon, because for all you who don't know Noah, promptness is a virtue.

Over 100 people bookmarked the site. I don't even know that many people. God this place is sweet.

Oh yeah, I'm over posting videos for a while. Wait for BoneStorm to drop, or just watch Second Nature, or go to Rich's box.

 

March 13th, 2006.

When your site averages more than a gig of bandwidth a day, then come tell me whats up.

BoneStorm is getting intense. Rich is so busy filming all the other barneys' tricks, I have now resorted to going out on solo sessions, setting my camera on a bench, pressing record, and of course landing bangers. I got to do what I got to do.

Again, to prove I am the grand master of old footage, while rich is scrounging all these new clips together, I still have a plethora of old junkie clips. Exhibit A.

Montage 5 is still in the works, don't think we forgot.

 

March 9th, 2006.

When you get bored in this town, this is what happens.You start Making your own 7th street with shitty banks and butter benches. I really did not want to put up more Moss footage, but check that freshy cut, now that's good content.

Rich is complaining that we need something in that lower right box. If someone doesn't pitch a good idea, I'm just gonna post a new picture of me every day, each time losing one article of clothing.

I heard through the grapevine, that local upcoming rip rip shred doggie, Justin Figueroa and crew have a new video premiering sometime in March at Northwood Community Park, or as some call it "The house that ProgNEG built." Should be a tasty video.

 

March 5th, 2006.

This trick is about 3 years old. I could never do it. Jesse is a chiller 2.

Whatever, I landed like four 360 flips in the last week, so I'm not too bummed.

Sean has some new beetle boots, they're sweet.

 

March 1st, 2006.

Check out the new BoneStorm teaser in the video column. I wasn't planning on making one, but it kind of came to me in a dream, ha. Remember kids, BoneStorm is going to rip.

 

February 28th, 2006.

If you are reading this that means the payment went through, and the site will be up for one more year.

I got two sweet links to show everyone.

The first one is for anybody who is a fan of the Minutemen. It's a sick clip.

The second is for anyone who is a fan of John Choi. Hyung Bin is killing. Hurry up and come back to Irvine.

 

February 27th, 2006.

No tricks were got this weekend in SF, but we did skate a lot and had tons of fun. Hopefully next time more people can go.

The site is almost 1 year old. Tomorrow will be the 1 year anniversary of when Rich and I cooked up the plan to start this site and bought the awesome domain name www.irvine-sucks.com. Here's to more years of fun, and hopefully less Massimo footage. Fuck that kid.

 

February 23rd, 2006.

This site is becoming a little too Massimo heavy. So to counter act all this Moss overload, here's a clip of Brion I know you will love. Well, if most people don't, I know Brion will love it.

Well, I'm heading north for the weekend. Hopefully some footage will come out of it.

 

February 17th, 2006.

I got a new clip for all you dudes. It's from our golden boy Massimo. It's kinda funny refering to him as the golden boy, seeing he is oldest dude I know. This clip shows Moss' ability to strap on the gnar boots and my lack of lens cleaning skills.

Massimo at the saddbleback banks circa April 2004.

 

February 15th, 2006.

I got a pretty sweet e-mail a couple of days ago. The subject was called "hey its bob man.. with that post thing its called 'love'". Here it is(unedited of course):

"i love this fucking website more than i love my mom and my brother. i love it almost as much as i love beer and smoking pot. i love it like i love Karl and Barker. and MAx and Christoned. i love this website because its comming up. its fucking kick ass and gives me shit to do while im at school. i love this website because all of the skaters on it are sick. and for the most part they all drink beer like me. i love partying with all of these cats. i love this website and it makes my day. this website seriously makes me want to go out and skate.....and drink beer. i got love for the hate (irvine does suck) and i got love for the skate. i got love for beer. you guys are all fucking kick ass. lets get a keg. love bob"

Thanks for the love Bob. Unfortunately though, Irvine-Sucks is going to become a straight edge site.

 

February 13th, 2006.

I'm glad to hear that this site is helping take the edge off for students while in class in the IUSD school system. You'll learn far more from this box than you ever will from highschool, or anything else for that matter.

I'm going to be putting progneg back on to my computer pretty soon, to make some more dvds, and Rich will do the same too. The dvd sales will go to keeping this site running, because it does cost us money. So when the time comes and you feel like buying two quality local fun lovin' skate flicks, you will also be contributing to keep this baby running.

Today's clip is pretty dated. Brings us back to the days where Sandro was still filming and Don was still keeping everyone amused with his hilarious antics.

 

February 9th, 2006.

So I just watched ProgNeg. I realized that is a sexy video. Heres some highlights; Cameron's ender with a leather jacket and no shirt underneath, Moss' fs 360 down oakley gap, Jonny Fryer having 3 intros, Super 8 footy of Jonny eating a booger, Me sticking a 14 stair ollie (which is amazing to me, cause I have trouble with UP 6 nowadays) with long hair and a Danzig shirt on, Abo opening the friend section in a way only he could, Johnnie Trinton's footy in the friend section, Noah's whole part in general, and Brion's whole part aswell. That fs blunt wrapped up that video nicely.

Let's get it together with the new video.

The good ol' days. Brion getting technical on some harvard park obstacles.

 

February 5th, 2006.

Yo dudes. I got nothing to say. Check out the box on the bottom right.

Since Cameron can't skate, and hasn't skated for almost 7 months, hes been missing out on filming tricks for the montages here on the site. So everyone doesn't forget what a chiller Cameron is, I made a part with all Cameron's super old footage. We're talking 12 and 13 year old Cameron. Watch it.

 

January 30th, 2006.

January is almost over, and it's been pretty good. I was out of school for most of the month, and I skated almost everyone of those days. The site has also been killing, as far as Irvine skate sites go. 70 people have bookmarked the site since the beginning of December.

The site is almost 1 year old.

Montage 5 is almost done! Yeah right, Not even close.

Just so Richard doesn't think he's got me beat too bad in the video posting department, I made a clip of my pool shreddin' days. Only kidding, but scope on it. Most the footy has been used in something or another. Guest skater(s): Massimo Cavedoni, and Jonny Fryer and Cameron Furlong (Smashing Bottles).

The www.irvine-sucks.com team is cruising north, to shred with the San Fran barneys in a week. That will definitely produce a MiniTourVid.

 

January 27th, 2006.

I got to go back to school in a couple days. It's bummin me out.

Pretty much to keep up with Rich, I'll share with you another video. Although probably most people have alreadt seen this clip, I'm going to post it anyways. 9th grade hammer, and still my favorite trick I've ever done.

 

January 22nd, 2006.

I was talking to Skatin' Steve, and this is what he had to say...

save vc (9:49:24 PM): so i was at your place with alex and someone else, cant remember, but for some reason i was going to work with you in a bike and we both had to share one and alex and the other person were behind us, and on ours we were going downhill and i said we were going way too fast and you started braking but you lost control and hit your head really bad
save vc (9:49:54 PM): and you just said you wanted water and then i woke up.

I think thats pretty funny.

I gotta go, I haven't brushed my teeth in a while.

 

January 16th, 2006.

Yeah, we skated water district ledges for an hour and a half. Whatever.

I was bored. Billy's acid trip.

Nothing much more to say.

 

January 15th, 2006.

Chunnel premiered and a unanimous desicion was made. Chunnel is the Video of '06 with out a doubt.

Now, incase there was any confusion on why I would post a link to a Sheckler sequence, I will tell you the background story:

One beautiful Sunday morning, much like this one, Sean Wiekel calls me to go skate. I agree and drive out to Mission Viejo to meet up. First a bunch of other things happen, and next thing I know, we are at San Clemente park, and I have now signed a deal to film Ryan Sheckler for the rest of the day. We go to this ledge across gap to gap out. He starts shooting this sequence. I begin filming. He lands a perfect bs tail shuvs. Unfortunately, My camera is in some of the shots and shecks is forced to do it again. I was pretty pumped on it. Its not that great of a story but I'm pumped on it.

I got something funny to show you guys. Scopes. The people who know the background story to this will enjoy it. I'm pretty sure he did a better one, I wonder why they didn't use that one. Haha.

Oh shit? Karl's video "Chunnel" premieres tonight?

 

January 11th, 2006.

So, now that Rich is back in SD I'm back to filming. I did get desperate though, and let Alex try out his filming skills.

 

January 9th, 2006.

Hey dudes, the fourth montage is up. Check it out in the video column. Richard held it down on this one with the editing and most of the filming. I think a good name for this montage will be the "Mostly Moss/Fisheye Montage" because thats the majority of it. Also Abo and Skatin' Steve make their first appearance in this one.

Eddie spit on Alex today. Then Alex spit back on him. Eddie almost faught him. It was pretty sick.

Where's Billy been. I haven't seen that kid for a while.

Lastly, I'd like to hype up Karl's video "Chunnel". Most likely going to be the video of 2006. Keep up the good work Karlos. I'll keep everyone posted on premiere info, aslong as Karl keeps me posted.

Irvine-Sucks made it to 2006. Pretty awesome. Good work and thanks to everyone who contributed to or even looked at the site.

I'll Recap 2005 in chronological order.

Second Nature premiered and was sweet, Bonestorm began filming/ dominating, Started a local online zine viewed by hundreds in the Irvine scene called Irvine-Sucks.Com, Graduated from highschool and began the process of higher learning, Grubbed/Chilled thickly, and Jonny got punched in the face.

I'm getting cabin fever because of this rain. I gotta get out. Whos seen the movie cabin fever, with Sean from boy meets world. That movie is sick.

Heres a clip from a while ago. Jesse is a chiller.

 

December 28th, 2005

I haven't posted in a week? Damn, I'm off my game.

The skating has been pretty choice over this break. Good job squad.

Abo thought he would slip one by me and try and get me to post some story he had about getting dreads. Fortunately I remembered Abo is not allowed on the site due to his affilations with certain people.

I always have something sweet that I wan't to write about but I usually forget it by the time I actually get around to writing.

Heres a clip of Jonny from a year ago at Hooters banks. Scope Jonny's jimmy leg landing, and how Brion doesn't know how to focus.

Look for a new montage in about two weeks. Richards got this one under control. Pretty much it's just going to be a Massimo bonus part.

 

December 21st, 2005

Dang, not going to school is the greatest. I don't even know what the day is today.

Richard is back in town and since hes been back kids have been getting some hot footage. Its sweet because my camera is fucked up again, so all I do is hang out all day and complain about my shitty set up and a pinny hip injury.

Cmon guys, Jonny has had that dumb post in that box for weeks, lets get something else in there.

The site is sucking. Down to 80 hits a day. We need a new video and pronto.

 

December 17th, 2005

I'm out of school for 6 weeks!

Here's another never before seen gem. Scope Moss' toes on the nose ride away. Cowabunga. Theres one thought that comes to mind after seeing that clip, and that is "Weiss, good move".

Thats all I got to say about that.

 

December 16th, 2005

Yo, I got a sweet idea about how to spice up this site. Since I have about 50 gigs of old footage on my harddrive, I have a lot of never before seen footage. My idea is that I will share a new never seen before clip with the fans every so often. The first clip with be this line brion filmed 2 years ago at pavillions. Scope the top of the video after Brion lands the fakie flip. I think I have the only footage of a UFO. And Also I think the fly landing on the lens is pretty funny too.

Oh man the old footage Idea is good. Richard should get on it too, cause I know he's got a lot. Well, thats if he can drag himself away from those Point Loma toga parties.

 

December 14th, 2005

Yeah, this site sucks.

The only thing I wanna talk about is HSP. HSP (also known as Harvard Skate Park) has been my home away from home since I was 13. Since then I've met most of my friends there, and made a lot of enemies there aswell. It's had its points where'd I would be there everynight for weeks straight, and then times where I'd go maybe once a month. But for some reason, about maybe every 2 years, some new guy comes in and thinks hes gonna make a difference, and start enforcing the full pad policy. Its lame enough that kids that have been skating around 10 years are forced to wear a helmet, but knee pads? Maybe If this park was any good they could get away with this, but this is not the case. Not one transition is above 5 feet. Im bummed about this because HSP was on a rise again, and now I probably won't be back for months. I haven't worn knee pads for 5 years, and I don't plan on wearing them any time soon. But don't be surprised to see Brion Baer there, with some knee pads outside his jeans. Later, I'm gonna go establish local status at Costa Mesa Park, even though I did get a 170 dollar ticket there.

 

December 13th, 2005

Want to know something lame. I now have two dead pixels on my screen. I know, it's weak. Along with this post.

Something that is not weak is me getting the Sonic Youth complete discology from one Scott Seward. Oh and Explosions in the Sky in less than 5 days is pretty not weak too.

Brion, Noah, and Jonny skate alot.

 

December 10th, 2005

Sup dudes. Only one more week of school, then I'm out for a solid 6 weeks of pure mayhem.

Moss has been getting a little too cool for us lately, and is even rumored to be trying to get out of the crew. Heres an example:

ncpworkshop (12:01:39 PM): abo suggests fullerton 9, so maybe we could go there and like the banks and maybe brea ledges
CROWN A (12:10:15 PM): well im gonna go skate with lim
CROWN A (12:10:25 PM): cause hes skating with the TM from dc
CROWN A (12:10:54 PM): so yea
CROWN A (12:11:06 PM): nichols
“CROWN A” signed off at 12:11:17 PM.

Oooh la la Mossy.

Just kidding broskie.

Anyone who thinks I gave Jonny his own box is dumb. I just gave him the first post in the whatever box. Just send me something, and I'll put it in there.

Heres a little treat for you guys. Primal Testicle Live from Irvine High 2005.

 

December 7th, 2005

God damn, I hate computers. It was a three day struggle trying to get this shitty site back to it's original state. Fortunately, I stuck it out, and busted it. Which reminds me of the frontside 5-0s I bust on the shallow end of Etnies pool. Pool coping all day.

Recap of whats been going on since the site went under back in August:

1. Brion started eating real food, and has gone down hill since.

2. Noah sold his soul to sterling art, and I've seen him on a skateboard maybe 6 times since.

3. Rich went to San Deigo, and refused to share a beer with us when he came home, later referring to it as "piss water".

4. Cameron got a B on a history test.

5. I'm still legit

6. Irvine-Sucks.Com has changed headquarters, from North Irvine to beautiful Orange, California.

And that is pretty much it. BoneStorm is coming along slowly, but it will mash your brain when you do see it.

 

December 4th, 2005.

Hey dudes. I finally got dreamweaver and figured how to it. I fucking hate it though. It's pretty much way too confusing to learn how to use these goddamn iframes.

The boxes will go as thus, this box in mine, and will be the best. Richard's box will be below mine, where hell fill your head with useless information. But don't worry, it'll be useless information you can use. The box to the right will be filled with vids, cause vids are sweet, and its what we're all about. And finally the open space in the bottom right, will be the whatever box, where anybody can have something posted, which will probably be Brion, cause he's bitter I took away his box with extreme predjudice.
