camp life day 5

We said our goodbyes to Woodward today. Unfortunately we will be missing out on the dance friday night and the talent show tonight. Dropped Alex off first. Then Elijah... Then I pretty much just quit taking photos of people exiting the van and started taking photos of helicopters flying over the freeway.

camp life day 4

Woke up and had some lunch. It was looking good today. Started the day off at some bike jumps. Elijah gave dirt boarding a try. Then we hit up the rock climbing area. Sean gave it his all. Dinner was enchiladas. They tasted a little different. But we wern't complaining. Its camp life... Elijah ended the day with some serious vert dropping in.

camp life day 3

Started off today at Woodward with the chicken sandwich special. Looking pretty good. Some guys decided to hit up the band room. Then we all headed over to the bowling alley they offer. None of us were very good at bowling. Everyone should stick to skating. After that we checked out the gymnastics area. It is full of stuff we would have never imagined existed. So obviously we gave it a whirl. Some were better than others. Gareth was the champ forsure. Video game area... It wasn't all fun and games. We did have a demo so we soaked it up at the pool first. The demo went great. This kid was hyped.

Rolling East

Nuge and Abdias are heading to the East Coast for THIS!

Sierra Says Relax

Where is Sierra relaxing now?

camp life day 2

Heres a couple photos from the indoor park that we skated last night. Alex was feeling the frustration of skating new trucks Gareth wasn't We moved onto the best part of the park. The foam pit After the heated session in the foam the guys were tired so we all headed back to the rooms.

camp life day 1

Some Foundation guys headed to Woodward skate camp today. The 5 hour drive took only 8 hours or so... Alex and flow guy Elijah were in the mix Picked up Gareth Sean jumped in... Went to Nuge's house to grab him and we were on our way. Grab the essentials at the grocery store for backup food just in case camp food wasn't always cutting it. Elijah found a spot in the middle of nowhere. So we let him session it for a second. We made it to our destination As soon as we arrived at Woodward we went straight to the cafeteria for some dinner. Group shot at camp boys. On to the pool life... Then back to some eating. This time peanut butter and jelly. The day is a wrap. Oh yeah we skated about 7 different skate parks they have here also. But you have to wait until tomorrow for that.

I spy

It feels good to see the payoffs of having a art show featuring a board series of ours. I spotted a kid the next day riding the Nuge board and snuck some photos.

Walls & Foundations art show blog overload

Foundation Skateboards and Kelly D. Williams got together last friday to launch a new board series at DDR projects in Long Beach, CA. It was a art show featuring the boards Kelly did for us and also showcasing some of his other fine work. But hold up...lets go back a bit. I didn't only go to a art show. I went to the beach also. Lets rewind... Ahhhh beach life. I heard stories about Long Beach being one of the most polluted oceans in the world or united states or something of that sort. Sweet. Well if you can't swim because you'll get sick then you might as well fish! Fishermen, fisherwomen, fisherchildren, fishergrandmotheren, fishergrandfatheren. I'm making up words that end in "en" because fishermen does. Hmmm...that's fine by me. This little guy caught a little guy. Lets eat! Or wait...mmm no you can have it. I'm not trying to eat the most polluted fish in the world really. Oh look its the rail Nick skated on the Transworld cover. Good thing you didn't fall in there little Nicky. Could've been eaten by sharks drawn by a 3rd grader. Skiiiiiiiiiiirt(thats the sound of a car skidding to a stop)...back to the art show. It has begun. Whoa. Those are nice. Let me introduce to you the man behind all this beautiful work. Kelly D. Williams Gareth and local neighbor Matt Bennet showed up. This kid didn't have a graphic on his board so Gareth drew him one... This kid stole one of the boards off the wall and just ran outside. Since we support stealing I figured I'd document this. We might have just given him a board though. Not sure. Oh look who decided to show up. Mr. Bart Jones himself. He will appreciate the Mr. I added in there. Thanks to everyone that came out for the event. Especially Kelly, John @ DDR projects, Matt B, Gareth, Myself, My fans, Kelly's fans, and last but not least the fishermen of Long Beach.

No Way Jose!

No Way Jose. Just wanted to say that. Had nothing to do with this post featuring David ripping. Check back later I'm sure I'll think of something ground breaking to feature on the site.

TGIW

Thank God Its Wednesday. I don't know why but I know that's what Alex and Gareth are thinking today. Or maybe that's the only thing clever I could think of to say. Check out the RVCA site if you're bored. David, Harmony and Austin all have pictures of themselves on it. They've made it big time.

Where Will You Be Friday Night?

Nuge and Gareth will be at this Foundation deck release party @ DDR Projects in Long Beach. Check it out here!!

Checking in with Nuge...

Nuge went up to San Francisco with Gareth last week to do some shredding. Arriving back in LA just in time for the Foundation art show with Kelly D Williams.

touring with the team

David's on tour with RVCA. You can read all about him and some other guys that are kinda assosiated to us known as the Toy Machiners on the RVCA blog.

Lets play a game

I will call this game "first person to correctly identify which artists are featured on the griptapes of amateur skateboarders Alex Gourdouros, David Reyes, and Abdias Rivera wins anything they want off a page of my choice from the Tum Yeto catalog". Good title huh. Catchy. Probably gonna get stuck in a lot of peoples heads. Like your favorite song. Anyways...I'm looking for 2 artists. Send in your answers to this email. Promo@TumYeto.net This was posted at 9:27am West Side time. Winners will be announced on the site. *UPDATE* We have a winner. Dave from New York correctly answered L'il Wayne and Bob Dylan in less than 20 minutes. Lets see what he picks from this catalog page that I'm offering. He picked the Corey board. It's that easy. Check in next week for another contest. See even Alex is down... Abdias is down... David is down...

on the road again

Looks like this kid will be shredding the streets and parks with RVCA.

good times USA

Sometimes I wonder how Alex felt during his day in the life video we shot. Hmm.. oh well. Abdias was on site... "hey Alex how's your back looking?" "oh just a little scrape, cool"

a day with some bro's

David and Alex stopped by to grab a few things. Picky little fella... On to the packing area... When we got to the first spot Julian might have fell into the sewage water.. I'm not sure.. Not looking good... Yep.. Yep I'm positive he did. Onto the handrail portion of the day. ... ... meanwhile there was a unscheduled demo at a ledge nearby. Nollie noseblunt was the trick of choice I shot. Next spot... Just when we thought the day couldn't get any better a non activated phone I mean Blackberry was offered to us for a small payment of a complete skateboard. Sounded like a decent deal to us so we checked it out for games... Game situation was looking a bit weak..plus the non activation didn't help. We settled on no deal. We said goodbye to the bros and headed home..
