Read MoreSo after years of traveling to different parts of the world I’ve finally began creating the video series I’ve been envisioning since our very first trip abroad. To be honest, I’m not sure why it’s taken so long to put together a show like this, but all excuses aside, I’m pretty pumped that it’s all coming together finally. Now it’s worth mentioning, in case you forgot the name of this site, that I’m an amateur. This is a work in progress, and I’m no cinematographer, but I’m giving a solid shot anyways and I hope you can ride with me as I figure it all out. So without further adieu, today is the day that I bring to you the very first installment of our show The Detourist Guide To Travel. Enjoy!
Read MoreSkateboarding can be a strange and confusing thing to watch for the uninitiated sometimes. If you don’t follow skating and happen to know what is going in any given flip-in-flip-out-ledge-trick, than even the most difficult tricks will most definitely be lost on the viewer. And sure, sometimes a few large handrail grinds can keep the attention of some fair-weather fans of skating for a bit, but even that is lost on most. I give you all of this to say, the GX1000 video is not your typical skate video.

Gather your friends and press play and watch a long list of un-named skateboarders do some of the wildest shit you’ll ever see!

While big skate videos impact and lasting power has definitely decreased over the last 10 years, the new Krooked video is perfect proof that full length videos are still alive and shredding.
Read MoreIf you don't know by now, skateboarding is a big part of my life. It's also mostly responsible for inspiring me to shoot photos in the first place. I've been staring at photos in skate magazines since I was 12 years old, studying the tricks, the angles and the skaters. At one point in my teenage years, every single available inch of wall in my bedroom was completely covered in skate photos that I had clipped out of Transworld, Skateboarder, Big Brother, Slap and Thrasher. This documentary "Devoted" is all about those magazines that played such a huge role in my life.
