Alaska

If you get a chance to take a trip up to Alaska, do yourself a favor and go. Everything from the flight in to walking around downtown is extremely amazing. This bear lurked up on us out of the woods while we were eating lunch.







The scenery is ridiculous no matter where you are. It's constantly a panoramic postcard in every direction.

Palm Tree Sunsets


Can't go wrong when your night begins with a sunset through the trees.

Ocean Beach view from park



There is a park across the street from The Cliff House that overlooks Ocean Beach. It is a pretty chill spot to watch the sunset and get some time-lapses of cars next to the beach and shots like that. When it gets super cloudy or has a fast moving fog, you can get some nice B-roll clips.








Miniature Vancouver Tilt-shift video

It's always rad to see people expanding on their videography and tilt-shift videos are definitely unique. They make everything look like it is a lego village. This is one that I just stumbled across that I thought was interesting.

The Beauty of San Francisco

How could you get bummed with this view while you skate?

San Francisco has always been one of those cities that ceases to amaze me. Everywhere you look, there is going to be a good restaurant, some sort of clothing boutique, and some form of good music all within your view pretty much wherever you are around town. The views all around town are phenomenal. The people are as chill as can be. I have yet to find a single thing I don't like about this place.

Any place like Amoeba Music to be able to
shop for some new tunes is straight up good news in my book. Anything you can think of can be found in this place. The thing that I find craziest about this place is that you can ask anyone there about some random band you think no one has heard of and they will take you straight to it. Musical Madness. Gotta Love It.






I have been known to drink my fair share of brews, too. Ending your day by sitting on the patio of the Rogue Bar can only lead to good times. A whole board filled with choices of good beers? What a session.







After catching some brews, make sure to head over to Potrero Del Sol Skatepark to catch the session. You will definitely catch quite the crew of slashers here. I can't say that I have any problems with this place either...
