What's worse than a Rainbow Gathering?

...OK, there's really nothing worse, but the next best/worse thing is a Volkswagen Bus Rally. Now before you go on about how I had two buses myself, let me remind you that I do not own a tye-dye shirt, have white boy dreads, or practice hula hooping for future festivals. I do however love the idea of sleeping in a pimped out van beside whatever I damn well please. 

On this occasion, the 2011 Everybus Rally came to a local state park and Darnel, Mr. Steve, and myself decided to take a peek at some wagons. Here's what we saw...

(A total refurbish. Pretty Sweet)

 (Soft tops next to Hard tops? This world is crazy)

 (One of the sickest ones out there. Hand painted skull work. Seldomwright, eat your heart out)

 (The hordes. Shit strewn about. People selling parts that I assume fell off on the trip to Everybus)

 (Mags)

 (Cleanest set up out there. Tight)

 (Get a load of the tent on top of vanagon. It also has a window hanging air conditioner. Ingenuity.)
(Also, total rust bucket bus belonged to the only dudes with the most solid parts store. Huh?)
 (This step up is something I can get with)

 (Just like my last one (Hitler's Revenge). Of Course mine didn't have such good stickers on it.)

 (A uhaul camper! Sweet.)

 (I feel like such an idiot for not inventing this first. So practical, So efficient, SO NECESSARY!!!)

 ( Even the Canadians showed up.)

 (Everybody go, hotel motel holiday inn, say if your girl starts actin up, then you take her friend. I present to you the VW MOTENT)

 (The chuck wagon's circle)


 (We sniffed out these two gems hanging out away from the party. Super clean.)



(Lurkin' camp to camp.)

Old Bean

She's been sitting too long. It's time to revive the bug and get her rolling again. I made a promise to Darnel that it would be road worthy by August. I got a guy coming to look at her today. SO Psyched.

Oh, Spring is almost here. Super double psyched.

Backyard Schralpping

Of the many houses that I have lived in over the years of my life, 3 of them have had mini-ramps in the backyard. This one was the biggest. I had it for about 2 years before it turned to rotten wood. Here, Kevbo Henderso locks into one of his classic high speed frontside grinders. Kevbo skated this ramp more then I did. For Shame.


During its creation, snow covers the trannies.

Mr. B's

















So me and some friends set out last year for a luxury adventure. The cheapest, easiest way to transport 7 guys from Portland-S.F. via lots of Oregon and California skateparks, hot springs, ocean beaches and friends houses was renting an R.V. . Jsax somehow acquired this stuffed big-balled guy and passed it on to me. Not that I wanted the dude, it was gifted to the RV. I took some photos of him on our trip. Too bad it ended in Les's apartment ironing board holder closet thing with Chocolate J.
