This is Lance and Mike Hakker, they started Ashbury along with Nima Jalali. They’re twins and brilliant, if unassuming business men. Their blog is one of my favorites. Trip out here.

This is John Antoski. He’s our Associate Art Director. He recently bought this little spotting scope. It has 8x zoom, which he’s pretty proud of. Only spent two buck on this little eye piece. Coolest thing is he can put it in front of the lense on his iPhone and get all kind of HOlga-looking photos. He’s oozes art. Proof is here.

This is Nick Dirks. He has a pony-tail now. Farmed hair all winter to have one. Now he kinda looks like an albino Columbian drug lord. He’s got a bruised heel, so he didn’t drop-in at Hot Dawgs. Instead he loitered, drinking Budweiser and eating Haribo gummy bears. He’s a man of exceptional taste. Further proof is in his Polaroids, here. Search nickdirks under Polaroid People.

Nick Dirks and Jarad Hadi rolled into town with a couple of their homies. They’ve been on the road for a while now and looked the part. Smelled it too. They brought barley pops, we skated, caught up, Nick pushed Jarad off the deck of the mini, he bled some, then poured some beer on Nick’s blunt. It was just some good dirty fun for a Thursday. It’s tradeshow season. Premieres are on the horizon, the dirts are starting to swarm down here in So Cal and there’s bound to be a lot more where this came from. Look out.

Nick may or may not be wanted by the cops in Northern California right now.

Jarad Hadi skates in any and all types of footwear. 5-0 in his boat shoes.

The road’s been hard on Jarad.

Bloody blunt.

Jarad pouring some out for his homey.

Eventually it digressed to a barefoot game of skate.

Nick won.
