Jason Jessee: “I skateboard but I’m an artist.” Automodown warehouse. Watsonville, California. (2004-2005)

He is probably best known for his frontside ollie, which many agree was the best skateboarding has ever seen.

US BOMBS Berlin. December 5th, 2010

Last weekend I was up in Berlin and I went to check out the US Bombs at this punk rock hall in Kreuzberg called FESTSAAL. Everyone else flaked out on going with me (too tired, too hung over) so I went alone and damn glad I went. Front row, sick show and a few cheap 80 cent half liter beers with some Berlin Punks out front in the cold. Duane Peters was in fine form, rockin’ out, dancing, and pounding Red Bulls. They even played one of my favs for the encore, “Ballad of Sid”. I took the set list for a souvenir and these photos for your enjoyment, since you obviously missed the show.
