The Clash at Clairemont 2010 was a great day of skateboarding and long time friends. It was especially rad to have Steve Caballero and Duane Peters there ripping the pool.

Screech- hammering…

Screech is better than almost everyone. He is probably the greatest pool skater-ever-to roll a backyard. Just Google ‘Josh Screech Sandoval’ and watch him burn! He pulls the most insane tricks & lines. He has the heaviest foot on the gas pedal & rides like its his last day on earth. Padless & fearless, Screech lights the fuse in every session. Thanks to Screech for showing us what can be done on a skateboard. Thanks to MRZ for capturing his mania. Skate-Ozzie

Adam- shallow stairs at ‘Escondido’

Adam 12
adam12- los angeles

‘Adam 12′. ‘Mada’. ‘Twelve’. He goes by many names, but truly rules the backyard pool scene in the Badlands. I can be fairly certain, that if we go to a brand new pool somewhere, ‘Twelve’ will do the shallow stairs within three tries. He will usually follow that with FS deathbox or FS lightbox in the same line. He’s a ghost. True style & speed personified.  He can often be seen, wearing his ‘Morrissey’  or ‘The Smiths’ T-shirts to skate in. ‘Twelve’ is a great addition to any backyard session. Here are two different angles of Adam12, killing the box FS at an LA pool. Thanks to MRZ for the images. Skate & support your friends. -Ozzie

…and the boards upon the wall, told the story of it all.

Many people have  terribly inane things hanging on their walls. With the exception of family photographs & ‘art’, little else should find itself decorating a skaters home. Baskets, flowers, ‘kitsch’ & other useless rubbish, should be relegated to the yard sale. However, skateboards should find a place of prominence in every home. Let them cry out to be ridden! Let people see the futility of team sports & how the ‘Budweiser’ locker-room mentality is destroying children. Now, if we can only talk our girlfriends & wives into such an idea…..to say that its ‘doubtful’, is an understatement. No wait! I don’t have a wife or a girlfriend so….Thanks to Ray Zimmerman for the OG ‘quiver’ image. Skate-Ozzie
