Giselle whose mom owns the restaurant with the green lights...
The trip has been over for a week, but the photos keep on coming...
Ed keeps life light with a midnight stomp through a giant recreation park in downtown Sydney. Welcome back, Tempster.
"Suffer The Joy" of permanent recess on the playground of life.
Little girl takes a toss from her bike. Around the corner, Harmony and Matt B are taking slams too...
With all the heat that's on the Tempster right now, this isn't very surprising.
"Suffer The Joy" of never having a free moment.
Pig Wheels rider Richie Jackson getting his wallride on for the cover of Slam Magazine.
Oh, the wicked things this guy can do...
Suffer the Joy of waiting to see what they are...
I've seen people skate this spot before but never in this way. Usually they go over the rail/stairs on the side of the building. This spot is right across the street from the TumYeto warehouse and Mike Jones thought it would be fun to hippie jump on a bum ankle.
YES, the chaos stopped ALL taxi's from picking up anyone, and we had to walk what semmed like trillions of miles back to our hotel after a hard day of skating and rioting. Look how unhappy!
These are Soccer Hooligans. This one guy was laying down in front of moving cars, making them stop, where the crowd would then shake the hell out of them, and kick them, until they drove off almost killing someone...
We watched some crazy crap that night at this intersection. Drevin contributed.
Suffer the Joy of public chaos, it is never pretty.
But I don't think trannies care to much about wallrides or they would have become skaters instead of girls.
And tries to rape Billy...
The Street Beers you could buy illegally for one Euro didn't help the matter.
This is what happens after a life of hard drinking, you end up passed out on a bus bench in Barcelona, mid day - with Billy Marks pointing out your slobber for a photo that will end up on a website to be ridiculed by masses of young kids who think it is great to be a drunk.
a closer look...
What could possibly be said?
Josh and the Fallen boys are off again tomorrow. He's putting the axe to the grindstone for his video deadlines and interview photo hoarding. Expect some Harm greatness in the near future...
"Suffer The Joy" of being tough as nails.
Billy after jumping down a giant set of stairs way too many times to count.
I can't tell you what he was trying, so you will be surprised for the video.
Bilbo is now hypnotizing you into buying any and all Billy Marks products. Someone give him a video game sponsor...
"Suffer The Joy" of having a home in ones and zeros.
Our last day in Toulouse France.
Things look rough, but we came out with craploads of photos. One of the best last days of a trip I have seen.
As I write this, the team is flying over the Atlantic ocean back to California. Diego is home in Barcelona, Johnny is nursing his ankle back at home already, and I am on my way to Paris...
Suffer the Joy of seeing photos from this trip and the Australia one for the next 4 months!
Our video has taken another important step to being done...
I say trip out, I am just having fun with the way the photo looks psychedelic, NOT that the Toy team is on acid, because they are not.
We are 100% SKATE dogs - Skating comes WAY before partying.
A restaurant we frequent in Barcelona...
Than sit next to the team riders who hog the seat...
Kevin and Josh livin' it up.
Matt and Kevin take part in the general MAYHEM that ensued when Barcelona's team won the big soccer championship's league cup.
As you can tell, people went BERZERKER in the streets.
Including your freindly TOY MACHINE team...
Suffer it.
...but don't we all. Josh lurking the Frankfurt airport. The days are long and the nights are hot here in Barcy. Josh got lost in the middle of a riot two nights ago. Looting and chaos were cause by the last minute victory of Barcelona's soccer team in the Euro Championship. He walked through miles of city on a bruised heel at four in the morning. Dodgy.
"Suffer The Joy" of toughing out the hard times like steps to the good ones.
His name was "Happy" and he had kids who skate and were big fans. So he got his vest signed.
We miss you Johnny.
Oh, the ads in Europe. Suffer the Joy of seeing them.
J-Lay ran into some bad luck and crappy injuries while on our little mission to Spain. Right about now he's thousands of feet above the ocean jamming to Sabbath or Elliott Smith. Rest easy and sleep well, Johnny.

Come check out Adrian Mallory and Shuriken Shannon
respresenting Pig Wood and Wheels.

Corey not fadded Angel is old enough and the rest of the dudes went to the pub. Hanging out with the street beers in London.
The kid was very interested in his toy, that happens to be some sort of text messaging gadget, and not a video game like he thought.
Anyway, Billy just laughs, and is breaking it off here in Barcelona. Man is he clocking footy!!!!
Suffer the Joy of being in a different country...
We had to do some waitin' around. Josh scored a guitar from a guy at our demo whose dad owned a guitar factory. France is behind us, and epic spots are ahead of us.
Soon to be X-Games gold medalist Mike Franklin riding for Foundation(flow), Pig Wheels(flow), and Dekline(flow) is seen here soaring a kickflip into the dirty water. I mean over the water onto the sketchy plywood landing pad.
Tour photo's in Prescott taken by Jonathan Allred at Calavera Board Supply have been posted. Enjoy!
The entire team is here, and it is raining. But this photo of Billy Marks was taken in Australia. Things are good though, Matt B got a line yesterday. Diego got some footy too.

The team is going to Toulouse, France for a demo, Barcelona to skate and film for Suffer the Joy, and then Ed is going to Paris to do an art show...
Spain awaits and Bradford gets to experience his second international outting in less than two weeks. I can't wait until he's jaded and bitter about the whole traveling thing. This youthful enthusiasm he exudes about these trips is throwing off my whole perspective about the down-trodden skate-photographer. Get with it John, this is only a stepping stone into fashion/photo-journalism/soft-core porn. Treat it as such.
"Suffer The Joy", it's our world, you just live in it.
I posted this flyer so you could look at it.

Ragdoll in the office planning out the arizona trip. I guess this pic could've been posted before they left and not when they got back. Whatever, 2 week old picture update! How exciting...
There were no security guards to be seen, yet this is as far as he got.
Josh, Johnny, and Ed, triple teamed the railing separating the crowd from the shredding.
One of Diego's new horses in Argentina...

Josh, Kevin, and Aussie ripper "Battlea" (Bat-Lay) in the lag time before schralping.
Johnny throws up the horns, Suffer the Joy, by the beard of Harmony!
The apartments we stayed at in Canberra...
Happy Birthday, Grif! His mom made him wear that helmet but he fucking shredded it right off. Damn, son.
"Suffer The Joy", friends in the dvd bonus.
Johnny, Matt B, and Bradford catch up on their beauty sleep.
Told us he was the bassist for AC-DC, and that his daughter just advanced to the finals of the Australian version of "American Idol" thusly named, Australian Idol. He was also drunk as a skunk.
Griffin's Birthday at the HB park tomorrow! 2 o'clock!
The Homophobes are having trouble with this one...
Billy rips on all boards available, be them real or digital.
Oh and let's not forget the Grif-Dog Birthday Bash at the HB park. It's the skate event of the season. Everybody will be there so wear your finest.
"Suffer The Joy", warping your mind more than video games.
Toy Machine's distributer in Australia.
Needs to re-hydrate his skinny body.
Suburban Sydney, Australia
Josh gets brainwashed...
Austin signs a shirt in Manly and a kid has some epic grip art in Bondi.
Come to the HB Skatepark on Friday the 5th of May at 2:00 pm!
I'm sure some Toy riders will be there too...

This spot was supposedly a bust at the hospital in Melbourne, but we skated it hassle-free. While trying to roll around on the bank I fell and busted my camera, but not before I captured Captain Bennett tailsliding his way to freedom.
"Suffer the Joy", a bookend to a section of life.
Finally! I can keep my rock-lock horns warm all night.
Come visit the giant purple dookie in our town square!
