By Eric Wall
So Gareth, what exactly happened when you fucked up youre leg. Can you explain the situation?
I was at my girls house in Santa Monica California USA and I was hankering for some smokes and the bodega across the street seemed enticing so I proceeded to cross between two cars to my downfall and was hit and left for dead and awoke to paramedics and police officers and a torn ACL
How did you react when you realized that you might need surgery and that you would be out of the game for a while?
Pretty bummed cause that Is expensive and takes a long ass time but I then found out I dont need surgery so straight busted my ass 20 miles a day on my bike and crazy pills and acupuncture so now I am ready to shred and back on top

I remember you telling me about almost beating Melcher in a game of S.K.A.T.E. right after you started skating again from the injury. What was the trick that he finished you off with?

What can we expect from you in the next couple months?
Just trying to get as much shit done on the board and still rehabbing the knee taking it easy a little bit but I just want to jump down shit and skate
How did you get the idea for the odder pop series that you helped design?
I like otter pops and I thought it would look cool, as a series I was just eating em and thought it would be cool?

Started off the day with big frontside airs at the local skatepark...
Roll in crazyness to the quarterpipe...
Admist all of this Angel shredding Nuge is confident in landing the dreaded switch bennett grind...
We were taken to this rail after the skatepark. Angel warms up for the bigger of the rails that lurked around the corner...
Good luck Angel...
Featuring Tum Yeto riders Patrick Melcher, Richie Jackson and Zarosh.

And Kevin went to visit his brother in Arizona.
Nobody knows what Billy did for Thanksgiving, he possibly was in Vegas?
On Thanksgiving, Stacy winds up for an epic trick while being 'filmed'. Finally, she gets radical and busts a move. But ends up flat on her back...
Patrick O'Dell and...
Justin Regan at the bling-fest.
Ron Cameron, one of the parks' designers, shreds a handplant over the rail in 1995. Come skate it before it goes away!
Photo KEY: Lets hope that they have a glorious time.
Doing epic judo airs. (with Photoshops help...) But he was pulling backside bone-lesses a little earlier.
Youngin David Reyes is asked to do the unthinkable on KOTR. Be Sheckler for the day... Soon to be released in the USA Soy Panday (Parisien) has been traveling the world for all the Static III Video Premires. His smooth style speaks for it self. This Kickflip in the New Document Issue 73 is just a glimps.
Grant narrowly avoids certain death. He might have needed plastic surgery after that.
Austin experiences some bizarre Thanksgiving stigmata. He must be the turkey messiah.

After skating Active Am over the weekend Angel will be skating the streets with Johnny Layton so make sure you got your pen and paper ready for that big time autograph.
Abdias Rivera is in Tampa, FL still hanging out with his family for the thanksgiving holiday. Will be back in Orange County before you know it...
Pig Wheels rider Patrick Melcher checks in from the east coast where he can be found shooting photos with Skateboard Mag photographer Rodent. Look for coverage of Melcher to follow in the mag.
Bill knocked one out of the park and won the Active Bling Fest last weekend. While he jumped for joy Johnny got down in the winner's circle, and Matt B wondered how he could come up on that.

Look at this guy... Mr. Angel Ramirez came out for the show.
Nick Trapasso was there...
Heres a couple Angel photos..Back crail...
wallride to back disaster...
Back smith... looking good
Nick T...
Oh nice to see you guys too.
So I drove up to Bling Fest on Saturday. Notice how in this picture you can see mountains in the background if you look close. Its kind of hard to see because all the smog. Nice one Southern California...anyways
Tons and Tons and Tons and Tons and Tons of people come out to Bling Fest. But it's kind of confusing trying to figure out why they are all there. My guess is the free stuff that is constantly handed out( i know its not the skating). My other guess is the fact that Blink 182 has a new band or some dude started a new band or something. Something or someone related to Blink 182 was there I heard. So keep that in mind.
You wont see to many photos of the Blink 182 related thing playing because I was crowd surfing most the time...just kidding...maybe...but there was a skateboard contest going on also...
Heres one of the more techy obstacles of the weekend...
Johnny Layton was there ripping...
Gareth bluntslide the sketchy hubba to win a houndred bucks...
Billy frontside flipped the hip.
Gareth also back tailed the prymaid ledge and wait for it...wait for it...
bluntslide it too...
Gareth won $200 for all his manuevers. Wonder how you spell that word... m-a-n-u-v-e-r-s. Usually hard words like that have like a silent letter for some stupid reason. So I threw in the silent e just for fun...
Billy was shredding the double set...
He decided to full cab flip it and just win the whole damn contest. Nice one Billy!
Nuge congratulated him also. In a more realistic way...
Incase some of you out there were wondering what its like to go to the bathroom at Bling Fest...its pretty special...
Then I went to the mall...I remember it from last year as being "the best mall ever". Now I'm claiming..."if you have absoloutly nothing to do its better then watching a movie involving a pet dragon and a boy named Aragon in the hotel".
Nice invention! hahaha. Not. What are we going back in time? These things were 30 bucks and didn't even include the shoes. They just fit under your existing shoe and you skate around in them. I'm pretty sure we already have: rollerblades, healys, uh..roller skates, hand boards, everything that is exactly the same or atleast way better. But honestly I almost bought them just so I could hate more on them...
Nice restraunt! haha..But seriously Nice restraunt! This place is crazy...
Just keeps getting better... I forget what this place is called. Probably like Jumanji or something. "Safari Jumangi crazy style eating place" probably, actually yeah now that I think about it. Thats the name forsure. Bet my life on it.
Nice alligator entrance. This thing moves and feels like plastic because yeah I touched it!
This is about as far as my photo taking adventures went at the jungle restraunt. Because to get other photos I would have actually had to pay for something. And yeah that costs money and stuff...
Thomas wishes his posse had such velocity!
Griffin dishes, Jamie wishes...
TK (Terry Kennedy) and Evan Hernandez show some LBC love with Austin and Josh.
And don't forget Ed and Deanna represent too. (Huntington Beach, though...)

Sean Conover got cover and has a interview in For The Krew magazine. I scanned a couple things in for you to preview.
This is what this looks like...
Crailside eh?
While J-Lay smithed up a storm, Diego was en route back home after a successful Osiris premiere. Austin and Harm must be on their way back right now, or at least according to this. Nick was chilling with ladies for most the weekend. Careful Nicolai, those are dangerous. And finally, Bill won another best trick contest, this time at Make A Wish. Damn Bilbo.
Sierra checks out the spot...
Angel gives a thumbs up to sex wood beer coozys and Sierras back lip on the rail.
These frogs were siked on the skating that was going on so they decided to stay on the stairs and watch.

What are Austin and Josh up to? The Mild Ride, of course.
Ed--RVCA--Ed again--Ashley--Hambuger Eyes--Go Skate...

Mother fuckers ruin everything.
You're gonna die sea lions, sorry I was drunk when driving that giant boat...
Matt B reminds you to watch out for The Grime and to check up on the Mild Ride. Even Mickey Rourke is excited about it.
A beatnik, Richie, Eli, Scarface, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hope you had a good one.
Scope this Rowley footage.
The Dyrdek skate plaza is a good training ground. David lit up the rails while we were there. This is a rodeo flip to frontside 50 50 or something.
Then the dudes took off there shirts and it got weird for a sec.
Then they sat down to soak up the rays.
Then we found a pole jam...All in a days work
Mild Ride
Check out Matt Ball's Grill Session Part 2 on Vital Skate. In the Streets of Hollywood on his way to the Birdhouse Premier.

Wrecked. Dekline Am Nick McLouth has a new Video Part coming out this week in the "Via Marina" Video distributed by 411.
Guess who Louie was for Holloween?
It was in our boat while in Catalina. My theory is it came from the kelp.
Billy lets off steam with a whack at a premonition of Josh, while Austin jams. Josh got inspired by them both and some ladies doing air guitar.
Corey came by and was all smiles since he is rolling around again on a skateboard.
Since I have a real buttery sequence camera I figured I'd shoot something of him for the web...
tre flip...to
nosemanual...to
whats this..a egyptian style pose to wrap it up..dang
After the line we got I figured he would want to keep the momentum going. So I brought him to this spot...its like the same place as we were at before(our warehouse) but 20 feet away. So just imagine us walking, mall grabbing our boards for 10 seconds. Ok we're there.
It was me and Coreys friend Chris there rooting him on. The only thing I kept saying was "hey you got it forsure, forsure!". By the way.. I was pretty sure he didn't have it. But needed web content.
Then he pussed out and climbed back over the railing like a flow rider would do or something.
After a long day of skating I figured I would go watch his part in the Osiris video since it was premiering...
Osiris presents "Feed The Need"
Oh... look who decided to show up...
It was pretty run-down, filled with young children Razor scootering all over the place, and on top of that, there were sprinklers watering the wooden ramps...
Here's something to waste your time on.
Tweak out on the tweakers...
Amount of space required to transport the same number of passengers by car, bus, or bicycle...
Don't let life pass by you in a screen. Get up and do something with yourself. Lazy bums.
One of these dudes will be at the Osiris premiere tonight
Josh lets loose and gets blasted while on US tour this year. JLay just raises an eyebrow at such tomfoolery as he bulldozes a path to righteous skate action.
Featuring Tum Yeto riders Diego Bucchieri and Corey Duffel.

Perhaps this one?
