8-arm fixed tree, 3 D-cuts EACH arm! And a sick splashguard & ice pinches to boot!

Think the color might be some silver beach along with the white obviously; whatever it is exactly, it sure looks great! Clean black logo up top, real solid base & overall construction (really like how the sections all slightly taper in size as they go up), awesome functionality, a killer matching color slide with a monster horn; this thing just became a top dog on my shelf, thanks to Missy down @ Wicked Sands!

Yosemite

Internet connection was devastatingly slow in the valley, but what do ya really expect? So here's some more photos from the vacay - I know it's not glass but it can't really be beat in the beauty department... So here we go, Day One...

Imagine if you had to vacation at a Chinese beach...ugh...

YOSEMITE!



Been playing around with the panoramic mode on my camera, and it's pretty cool actually! The top one is El Cap and the bottom is of Bridalveil Fall, I think the camera added a few sections in there somehow though...Oh, there's a guide when you take the pictures so they line up correctly, oops...

Overwhelmed and awed and soothed by all the incredible natural beauty surrounding me! Makes me feel much like I did when I went to Kauai years ago; calm and peaceful and happy and in touch with the natural world and away from the current troubles of humanity and civilization. But then there are idiots speeding through the park, jeopardizing not only the wildlife (ie bears!), but they are also probably missing most of it really. And just where the hell do you have to go in such a hurry inside the park? Like people who travel Europe and spend a day or two in each country - how can you really absorb or even enjoy anything so rushed? Speaking of Europeans, I understand Americans get a bad rap for being obnoxious tourists. Because there really are a lot of egocentric douchebags in our country unfortunately. But they come from everywhere, as clearly demonstrated by the group of young Euro-crap who jumped the fence at the sequoia grove to get photos, completely disrespecting their surroundings. Probably French, ugh. A lot more photos, but even before the day was over, after stopping what felt like every 5 minutes for another picture, there's just so much to take in that it sort of felt like redundancy and almost not worthy of trying to capture it digitally, you know? Anyways, I am sure I will still take a thousand more photos before my week here is done!

Thanks Holy Smokes, Dave was stoked to make this!

And two new tubes, a starburst and a pirate blow-out, both slammed into the center of a big wig, with another worked section up top underneath a sleek black lip!

Dave has really been enjoying making these, so expect to see a lot more of them! There's also a skunk one coming that I've laid claim to already for the head! And that one I posted a little ways back, not the dragon one, just the wigs - I will put up on the site as soon as I get back by the way, as well as some more of these hopefully! Thanks for looking!
