Another Monday retro post from a while back. Random day in the LA streets with the homies. Nick Garcia, Mike Anderson and his brother Jake, the Nuge, Cole Mathews and Jason Hernandez… One of those days you see a ton of the homies all out in the streets…

I don’t know about the rest of you but Stefan has been one of my favorite skaters since I picked up a board. When I got the call from Jason Hernandez to come out a photograph Stefan while he was in LA I jumped at the opportunity. Here’s 4 photos he got in 3 days.
This was the first photo I shot of Stefan. I showed up at this ditch a little late and walked up seeing him try this switch wallride to front crook. I freaked out a little and ran to set my stuff up. He did it a few tries later. This is another one of the many trick I’ve seen in my life where I honestly have no idea how the person did it.
Stefan did this switch wallride to crook afterwards as an after thought. I don’t know who would do this just for fun. That’s how good he is.
Jason Hernandez and Stefan, power couple.
The next day we went out to this barrier spot. I don’t think anyone has skated this switch. Stefan isn’t one of those dudes who just skates switch because he can get away with “basic” trick. He’s an all around guy. I just happen to photograph all switch tricks. Here’s Stefan doing a switch nosegrind.
Last but not least we went to this bump over can on Stefan’s final day. He messed around with a few different tricks but switch backside 180 ended up working the best. I love tricks like these. They are for sure hard but it’s over something that we all grew up skating; a bump over something. So when you see it, it kind of brings you back to when you were a kid. Oh nostalgia…
That’s it for this weeks post. You can see almost all these photos on the Nike SB website. Check back next Friday for more photos.

Watch Grant Taylor, Dan Plunkett, David Clark, Justin Brock and the ATL homies lay the dildo down on their newest DIY foundation spot, already made famous by a certain graffiti vandal blasting a Old Faithful ollie off a cemented tire bump.
Grant had that ollie in another mag recently with a quote from John Cardiel. Dudes are keeping the torch lit and the bar high.
The improv karaoke is a nice touch as well.

Jose explains his prostate exam, catching Jerry Hsu wanking in a hotel room and how Koston & Jeron snubbed him when he was a kid. All this nonsense and more on Weekend Buzz.
Eric Koston and Nike just put out mission 2 of their “Mr. Control It All” contest. Check out what he wants you to try now. This one is a hard one.
