I really never update this part of the site anymore. Still adventuring out here in San Francisco. Exploring new spots, meeting new folks, just living life to the fullest. I've started sleeping on top of this building and waking up to catch the sunrise over the city skyline. I have a place to sleep indoors, but its so much nicer waking up to a view other than a 4 cornered room.
Gotta send some love to Fecal Face and Post22... rap music on the p22? Yowzers!!! Oh yea, my homie Blake Rhea is working on a video. I have a bunch of extra footage I'm organizing, until then peep this cat Blu's work. I'm leaving SF in a few weeks to head back to Skate Camp for the summer, I'll be documenting some of my experiences there this time. Peace out homies. Skrate it up.

Well, wow. Happy new years. 2008. 8 years of doing SkateNC. From starting off filming friends with a bulky S-VHS camera my dad left me and now this. I'm having memories of euphoria from skating around my neighborhood, just cruising around, not stresing about anything, just making stuff to skate out of peoples garbage and spare wood... that's skating. Enjoy every second you have on a board. It's a toy. - tkp |

I rode a bike too far from home, bombed a lot of hills, then was too tired to walk back up em. I had no money for the bus, but somehow I ended up at a Presido stop, a free bus. I hopped on the next one and about 15 minutes later I spotted this place. It's quite tempting, but motion detectors? - tkp |

Rolled around SF and surrounding areas on the Roughneck Bart Tour. Did a lot of filming, then dropped my camera battery so I can't capture any of the footy. But I am working on a new clip, it might take a while, but it will be worth the wait. - tkp

Found the old news, lost the new news. So what's going on? The Raleigh Skatepark meeting went well. The design for the future public park can be found here. 1 year till completion? Time will tell.
I'm headed to NYC this weekend to peep the new Nike SB film and cruise the city. When I get back it's off to San Francisco for quite some time... the hills are calling me.
In other news the Endless Grind video should be dropping shortly. - tkp

Just got back from DC where I cruised Pulaski aka Freedom Plaza late at night, met a girl named Pearl and we watched gangs fight and slept under the Washington Monument, spent the night wit the homette Ebony who used to be a street hustla and makes beats and runs her own barber shop, and skated the ghetto courts wit a bunch o' lil homies and Darren Harper. My homie Rails was along for this trip straight killing it and slapping up his unique stickers everywhere. Ahh, traveling to skateboard is what's up. - tkp |

Been a while since the last update. I've been traveling . From skating FDR in Philly, to the Chinatown skatepark and the streets of NYC. Got some footy of Chad Shooter yesterday at NC state, but he's got the tape, not me. Filmed a bunch at 58 with Harrisons camera. Maybe I'll get a copy of that footy one of these days. Other than that, keep shredding. tkp.
Upcoming events: The Masa Pro contest is coming up in May, and Real is doing a demo at Project 58 and Backdoor in May too.
Linkage: Winston Skateboarding Area |

Ghettovegas has a new clip. Ooh, look at the filming on Drews line. That talking frog sounds a lot like Sturgil. Note to self: when you wear sunglasses at night people treat you like a rockstar. Do it yo! Flowland Contest today! So much good skating has been going down, too bad my brain doesn't have a capture card. Bowman gots a kickflip back tail to fakie then a switch flip off the 2nd ledge at Fox road. This white boy James from Philly filmed that shit. What else, skateboarding still the shit? Yea. Thats whats else.
