Tum Yeto ASR Infiltration.

The Tum Yeto coup d’etat II was a triumph through mastery. Thanks to our co-operatives, the top secret negotiations helped to further propagate the resistance. Yet again, attendance was astonishing! Freedom fighters from all over the world were stacked to the rafters. Co-operatives plotted infiltration and domination over hor d’oeuvres and drinks. However, freedom has its casualties. While tactically distributing propaganda, el staffo and Uncle Pervy, 2 of Tum Yeto’s co-operatives were nabbed by ASR’s henchmen. They were detained and taken to ASR jail where they where systematically interrogated and held for a $500 ransom. After deliberations ASR called in the LB police and had them arrested for trespassing. Taking one for the cause. LONG LIVE THE MOVEMENT!

Foundation Old School Skate Jam

Went to the old school skate jam at Skate Lab up in Simi Valley last night. It was totally insane. It was a invite only thing and there were skateboard legends from the 60's, 70's and 80's. I mean full on legends. I met Jay Smith, Wes Humptsen, Chris Strople, Tom Inouye, Alan Gelfand, Alan Losi, Eric Grisham and many more. There was the crew from my heydays like Grosso, Staab, Todd Joseph, Dave Swift, Lucero, Groholski, Buck Smith and more. There was food, booze, yapping, autograph signing, skateboarding and all around rabble rousing.
It was a once in a lifetime gig. Probably will never happen again with so many legends in one Room. Thanks goes to Skatelab.
Here are a couple images from there. Tod

Bulldog, original artist of the classic Dogtown graphics, signs my board.
