Il Ghetto

We went to the OG ghetto. All the sad little cities around the world owe their namesake to this one. We walked around for hours trying to find this place.

Proof son.

We ran into these street tuffs in a random alley.

This is one of the fresher canals.

People love writing on walls. Anything from their special code name to "West Side" written in english... in Italy.

Merry Christmas.



Venice may not have any skate spots, but they do have a skate shop.

There are plenty of edgy doors in Venice.

More Rock Doves. This is actually the video I meant to post in the Pigeon post.

Pizza, Pastries, and Cosa Nostra

Here's some photos of life in Venice.

Like I said, we're loose with the cameras. Here is Mike arting and Nima backing him up.

I'm down with the pigeons. I really am, I read a book about the culture surrounding pigeons.

Mike, Nima, and LNP getting it done in Venice.

Nima's pizza. Lots of pizza.

Chocolate Gelato.

San Marco Square.

Scenes from Venice

We're trigger happy out here. So we'll be posting quite a bit I think. Here are some photos that we took today just strolling around the city.












Pigeons in San Marco

San Marco's square has pigeons galore. It's a pretty entertaining spot, and everyone has to mess around a bit over there. We tried to take a bunch of photos of the pigeons flying around.

Nima took this one, he was killing it.


Mike would like to believe he always drives the birds mad, here he is benefiting with a bit of seed.

This guy was on Nima's shoulder.






A mini video of some rocks doves.

Arrival in Venice

Nima, Michael, LNP, and I just arrived into Venice, Italy. Ashbury deals exclusively with some fine Italian crafting, don't forget it.

Never go sockless to the airport. Unless you're comfortable with the dirty airport ground and that kind of filth fermenting inside of your shoe all day.

Mike and Nima taking in the fresh air on the water taxi to our hotel.

This is how Nima rolls. Walking around in Venice with a board bag instead of civilian style luggage.

European buildings weren't designed with elevators in mind. Michael got left behind.

These next few are views from our window.

To the right.

And the left.

LNP loves Italy!

New Year Cleansing

Harrison went toilet clogging on New Year's Eve. Tired, he left it be over night and then spent his early New Year googling plumbers in Big Bear and looking for sticks outside to help him open up the pooping season for the rest of the house. This little video is his test flush, we thought it would over flow. It didn't but whatever, I'm the only person who posts on this blog. That kinda makes me the boss of the blog and I can post whatever I like.

LNP Got a Camera

LNP just got a camera and sent me these photos of his Ashbury art. I'm pretty hyped, that means we're going to be getting updates from LNP throughout the season.

I don't even want to think about the tricks that these two boards are and will be doing this winter.

LNP's truck, it's always good if Bob has your back.
