Skateboard at Santa Cruz

7 Skateparks, 4 Skateboarders, One Day

2010-08-28T17:26:00.000-07:00

4 skateboarders skated 7 skateparks in one long push. The day started by a drive from Santa Cruz to Sunnyvale skatepark where we met an old friend "Nate Linford". After one hour or so, the crew moved to Lake Cunningham in San Jose. That place is big for sure.
Next was Ben Lomond (Felton), Scotts Valley, Derby park (Santa Cruz), Live Oaks (Santa Cruz) and Mike Fox (Santa Cruz).
We met a few strong skateboards during the trip, Nate and Ford at Sunnyvale, Bill at San Jose, Blake at Ben Lomond and Alex at Sunnyvale.

We initially planned to skate 3 more skateparks but instead we choose to drive less and skate more :)

The video was shot with the Sony FX7, edited with FCP.

Music from Klaxons, song "The two receivers".

Santa Cruz Mike Fox Skatepark

2010-08-13T20:15:00.000-07:00

Moke, Isaiah and Benoit all share the same hobby, snowboarding. So it was natural that they met together during the summer at Santa Cruz for some skateboarding.

Mike Fox skatepark has a 2 very large pools and a street section.

Since they had so much fun, they decided that they all will get back together during the summer and skate 10 skateparks around Santa Cruz. The video is coming soon.

The movie was shot with an iPhone 4 and edited with FCP and Color.

Music from Hotel Costes 5, song "Doo Uap, Doo Uap, Doo Uap".

Bear Valley Back Country Ski/Snowboard Trip

2010-06-12T08:13:00.000-07:00

The 2009/2010 ski season came finally to an end late May with the last trip to Bear Valley. We started the weekend by getting the equipments (snow shoes, beacons...) to MAS at Bear Valley Village.
On Sunday not so early morning, we hiked up Super Cub, Spring Gap to the top of Porridge bowl, where the kids warmed up on the cornice.

We then, dropped Cliff Run to reach Mickey's meadow.

Since the snow was getting too wet on that side of the mountain, we made some fun runs from the top of Snoopy Dog hill.

The video was shot with an iPod nano and edited with Final Cup Pro. Enjoy.

Music from The National, Song England.

2009-11-14T07:53:00.000-08:00

Asian Invasion route was featured in Mike's video. The short route has a manteling crux from slopers.

Kevin Smith and Zach, 2 strong climbers from Santa Cruz, joined me during this early morning session.

Zach climbed the high ball arete which looks like a shark. Checked him being swallowed by the shark.

Castle Rock - Klinghoffer Boulders

2009-11-09T20:25:00.000-08:00

The Santa Cruz climbing crew (Brian Wilkerson, Riddle, Adam Alsabery and myself) got together for a fun afternoon of bouldering at Castle Rock.

We warmed at Nature Nazi on "The Naked Arete" and "Teaches O Beaches" and quickly moved to the Klinghoffer boulders. We climbed some juggy overhanging arete, the classic V5 traverse and ran laps on the classic of the classic "Right Hand Man".

Big Sur Bouldering - Partington Cove

2009-09-09T07:11:00.000-07:00

Partington Cove can be found about 2 hours drive south from Santa Cruz. It is also called "little Yosemite" because the granite quality almost match the one from Camp 4.

The timing could not be better since Castle Rock is still too warm, buggy and crowded.

Brian Wilkerson, Rob Morris and myself climbed some of the moderate climbs, some being as tall as 15 feet. Make sure that you bring a bunch of pads when you visit that area.

The French Connection - Castle Rock Bouldering 2009

2009-08-30T08:59:00.000-07:00

Cyril, Thibaut and I share the same experience climbing at Fontainbleau.
Thibaut, who has been visiting Cyril for a couple of weeks, wanted to check some of the Castle Rock bouldering classic.
They warmed up on the Slope and the Slap and quickly sent Hueco Wall with very original beta.
They tried Ecoterrorist but without success, the condition being less than perfect...
We finished up with Duct Tape, which I clearly remember, is quite hard for shorter people.

Tobie, Lance, Riley and Tyler visited us a couple a week ago. Tyler and Benoit belong to the snowboarding Bear Valley DEVO team.
On Saturday, we spent some time at the local skate park Derby. Too bad, on Sunday, Tyler broke his hand falling of the scooter, so they ended up at the local hospital. The timing could have been better just a couple of days before the end of school.

Bike works too.

Scotts Creek Surfing - Santa Cruz

2009-05-01T21:59:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago, we visited Scotts Creek as Santa Cruz. Only a handful of surfers were on the water. May be one day, Benoit and I, will be strong enough to surf there, but meantime, we ended up at Cowell beach, with the beginners.

That was a close call!

It was great to be back at Scotts Valley after almost 5 months snowboarding at Bear Valley. Zach has improved so much, he looks like a pro and skateboard like one too.

Ally finished third from the Bear Valley Rail Jam contest. It was well deserved with a insane backside lipside on the rail. Moreover, he rides a nice yellow Banana board that is hard to miss.

FS 180 to switch BS boardside?
