At 1:55 into the Fourstar Hawaii Four-0 tour video, Jef Hartsel shown slashing Kuykendall with a frontside grind.  All-style...!  Harts' layback grind from this trip was featured in their Wallride catalog that I posted a few months back.  

Ben Kist Photography Opening Feb. 23, 2012

In the past few years, Ben Kist has been kicking-up the sessions for me personally whenever it's the two of us skating concrete round-walls. We never finish a session without pouring sweat and often end them with a slam or two. Good times, Ben!  

Ben is also a photographer and has a show coming-up with large-scale prints, opening on Thursday, February 23, 2012 from 6-10PM at the Sandbox Studio in San Francisco.

Travis Jensen @ Apple Store and Hipstamatic

My good friend, Travis Jensen helped me get on Instagram the other day... thanks, Trav!  He's not only versed in photography, but versed with using his iPhone camera and thus, the Apple store on Stockton Street in San Francisco has booked a speaking engagement with him and Brad Evans on February 19th at 3PM.  They will be discussing their street photography, street portraiture, editing, and their print-journal projects, whose net proceeds help a local non-profit organization assisting at-risk youth living on the streets of SF.  

In addition to two previous books that were released, Travis and Brad released their third print-journal, entitled, "#iSnapSF." 

The official launch party is being held at the Haus of Hipstamatic on Thursday, February 23, 7:00-9:00PM at 74 Langton Street in San Francisco. 

The book is already up for sale so you can grab one now, bring it with you to either or both events to have them signed and know that once again, proceeds from the sale of these journals will go towards Larkin Street Youth Services.

Get Nevada Bound and Tenderloin USA too. All 3 book titles are awesome, reasonably priced and benefit those in need.
