Faces Of A Frog; Featuring Joe Frog

A quick shout out to the homie grindin’ behind the lens.

You may know him as one of the following:

Brockle Booze

Pou’d up? Yeah, we been sippin’ dat drank. We did some of our own mods though. Switch the cough syrup for blueberry juice and the vicodin for runts and life savers and any other hard candy lurkin’. Lots of ice and sprite and you be leanin’ son. It’s too real!

Joe preparing the concoction. This is as close to “cooking” that he has ever come.

And he likes his sprite easter pink!

Stir it all down before you sip. Jeremy contemplates his first ever pull of drank.

Crank up the Paul Wall!

I though I would be up all night on a sugar high but I think I OD’d. I was out on the couch in minutes after finishing this beast.

To congratulate TJ and Karen Bottom on a happy and wonderful Life together!

Cheers!

We just finished up People/StepChild week at Camp of Champions in Whistler. Of course we rolled into perfect weather for our session. You know how we grind.

What can be said about this? I think this shot pretty much sums up summer time filming.

Even though he can’t swim, The Frog is more comfortable practicing his double corks into water than on the airbags that seem to litter the mountain side these days. Joe mid-way though one flip with another on deck after a boost from Jeremy and Simon.

This dude Brad won a free trip to camp and my next years board for the grand prize in the Don’s Dozen. Nice work, son!

Simon with a timeless classic. Alway lookin’ steezy.

Yeah, he’s got them on his skate too. He skates the high ledges at the Squam park but he’s 9 feet tall so I don’t feel so bad.

I couldn’t resist…. I hate dogs though.

Couldn’t resist this one either. Who want beef?

Always a fun time at Camp of Champions. Thanks to all the peeps that hooked it up for us. See you next summer.

How do you top a free trip to Fiji? How about 10 days in Barcelona for nothing but skating. I went on this trip dolo so it wasn’t really possible to document much action but trust me I was ripping! Haha, not really. I was actually quite humbled after skating these spots knowing what tricks have been done on them. Beast. Much respect.

Brought some serious business gear for the trip. I heard decks are 90 euros in Spain so I came stacked.

Loved this place. Lots of foot traffic but so fun.

This is called the Beer Banks because of a huge beer factory nearby. I like to refer to it as the Sadat Slants though. No, this isn’t even a skate park. There is a few other things at this spot too.

Hooked up a unique za after sessioning the Sadat Slants. Peep the axe they serve it with.

I can’t believe this place is just a random sidewalk and not a skate park. Pretty tough to skate though. Ledges were beasted.

This is called paella (pie-a-ah) for those that don’t know. Tooled it up at least once a day. Pretty bolts.

I probably spent most of my time at this spot. It was close to my hotel and a good vibe. There is some other stuff in back too.

There are so many things in this area to skate. Just stumbled onto this.

Perfect long metal edged ledges.

It was an amazing trip. This is just a handful of spots I hit up. You find spots just skating to the spot. A lot of the ledges have seen better days but it was still epic. I only got asked to stop skating one time. Definitely going to book another trip soon.

Welcome to the first post of my guest blogging for Jeremy. Is there even such a thing as guest blogging? I don’t know but it sounds good to me. I thought I would start of with a banger from a recent trip I did to Fiji with Nixon for the High Tide Hold ‘Em. Good times.

First boat out to Cloudbreak fills up pretty quick when the swell is pumping. See ya on the next one homies.

Front door service right to the line up. Checking a few sets from the back before hopping in the water.

Pretty solid size especially coming straight from the mountains without much warm up. I took a few beatings this day that I won’t soon forget.

Dusty Payne on a well over head beast. Crazy to watch pros surf this stuff in person. Much respect.

This is why you go to Tavarua.

This is a good reason too. Doesn’t really matter if the waves get small anymore. Thanks Tony

Jason Ellis on Pirate Night. Not sure how the virgin pina colada fits into this costume but I’m feeling the overall look.

Thanks to Chad and Andy and the rest of the crew at Nixon for the trip.

Everybody seems to have a week, snowboard camps with “People Week”, “TWS week”, TV stations with Shark week and so and so forth.  So with that said JP Walker is gonna have “Guest Blog Week”!  Im stoked, JP has plenty going on and therefor around good content to blog.  So keep an eye out and check back, for the next week here at the Glob is the week of The Don!
