Another super fun afternoon in @missionbeach.sd at #sk8bigwednesday.. still got my ninja rolls on lock lol @navs 🔥 @rhino 📹@independenttrucks
@buckylasek and I back in 1988, this was the day we shot our parts for the @powellperalta Public Domain vid, back then you would shoot your part in a day not over the course of a year. We were so hyped to be skating together at age such a young age and pushing each other to keep progressing. Crazy how long we have been friends!! I have so much love for Bucky , he’s one amazing human being ♥️🙏 #tbt
@mikemcgill ‘s skate park in Carlsbad 1989. I skated this place everyday while it was open, mostly with @alphonzorawls and @jordanrichter, we were on a mission every session trying to innovate /pioneer new tricks. Here is some #miketernasky 📹footage that never made into any of my video parts @hstreetskateboards #tbt @jacobrosenberg archives
This was the opening ceremony skate demo rehearsal at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. This was just following the first xgames in 1995 so skateboarding was still really underground in this era and it was pretty surreal to all of us back then we were a part of the Olympics in some sort of way. I think we knew skateboarding would be in the Olympics someday but it’s crazy its now the most anticipated event for the upcoming Tokyo Games. This wouldn’t of been possible without @espn @xgames 25 years of commitment to skateboarding, that’s what drove it to a level it had enough mainstream recognition to even be acknowledged by the Olympics. I know how controversial the Olympics have been in endemic skate culture but it’s pretty amazing how much skateboarding has accomplished and how much it’s impacted the world 🌎 #fbf
@matthensley22 is by far one of the most influential iconic skateboarders of all time, he’s also one of my very close childhood friends that I grew up skating with, we are from the same town Vista Ca and skate crew. Matt and I skated for Vision as kids but he left for new start up company @hstreetskateboards in 1988 and I left to ride for @powellperalta but only to find myself leaving Powell to turn pro for @hstreetskateboards along with Matt in 1989. In the summer of 1991 cofounder of @hstreetskateboards #miketernasky , founder of @worldindustries #SteveRocco and the five of us came together to create a new revolutionary movement called PlanB skateboards. We are excited to rerelease Matts first PlanB pro model which is one of the 5 original pro boards we launched @planbofficial with in 1991. @matthensley22 @furrycalamari @williamseansheffey #rickhoward and my board . Soon after the initial launch @sal_barbier @rodneymullen @colinmckay @ryanfabry and @pduffplanb would also join with us completing the cast to pursue PlanB’s first video project #questionable .
Happy birthday to one of my favorite skateboarders of all time! Such an amazing person and a true professional on every level . Much love Ryan @shecks 🎂🙏♥️
@navs5000 wasn’t joking when he said next week was gunna be the biggest Wednesday yet !! @_no_name_jake @lander71 and Navs Built the craziest ramp in his driveway just off the boardwalk 😂, this sesh was so heated today, so many guys going nuts ripping 🤘 . @lefthesh #weskremer @starheadbody @dc24sk8mafia 📹
“Welcome Home” is now live on Planbskateboards.com (link in bio) with special guest @colinmckay featuring music by the legendary @metallica 🤘I’m very excited to share this part with everyone, it’s been a such a mission to get footage on this ramp considering all the environmental factors that play into keeping this ramp in skateable condition. So much goes into every session and the process just to achieve one clip. I didn’t anticipate the challenges that I would face when I built this crazy structure but I learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t in Kauai and or the costs involved. I don’t know how much more I have inside me but I will always continue to keep trying to give back, I look at everything I accomplish with such gratitude at this stage of my career and can only hope there is more to come. I appreciate each and everyone one of you who has given me this purpose and the reason to never give up. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to keep dedicating myself to the one thing that I know best which has always been my skateboarding. All I can say is thank you thank you and thank you 🙏 ♥️ merry Christmas to you all 🎄@thisguysthelimit @dcshoes @dc_skateboarding @pamzam @thrashermag @independenttrucks @jacobrosenberg RIP #miketernasky ♥️

1988 @powellperalta Public Domain video, this was my first video part ever and the day I was asked to join the #bonesbrigade . The story goes something like this.. I was hanging out at @tonyhawk ‘s house and met @buckylasek who was visiting from Baltimore and already on Powell. Bucky was around 14-15 and I was 13. I had been fantasizing about riding for Powell and shortly after Bucky and I met we were on a train together heading up to Santa Barbara to the Powell headquarters to get some boards. We end up skating the Powell mini ramp for a day or so then the next thing I know we were both in @saiz5412 van with @mikevallely and @robwashburn driving to meet @chris_borst_ at a ramp in the middle of nowhere, located in the mountains between Santa Barbara and Bakersfield. This ramp was owned by a rich retired doctor who was a bit crazy but had this built for his son who had nothing to do out there and no one to skate it with. The doctor was always welcoming but it came with a cost. This guy made everyone do heavy chores around his property to skate but this was a very good ramp for the era so we all did what we had to for access. I remember getting ready to skate and all of a sudden Stacy Peralta @peraltastacy pulls up to film Bucky, and the other team riders for the new upcoming Powell movie and I instantly became super star struck nervous. With Stacy now behind the camera filming I knew this was my golden moment to make a good impression so I pulled it together and gave it my all. It seemed like things were pointing towards me joining the team but I hadn’t been told I was officially on by anyone yet. Stacy ended up filming us both all day and turned this into a segment with Bucky and I which is awesome to look back at now because of how much this video meant for us both. This was the catalyst moment that ignited both of our careers. I remember Stacy coming up to me after the session and saying welcome to the Bones Brigade which was so surreal and I was just blown away!! 🙏
This priceless moment doesn’t seem long ago🤔 so crazy. Happy 19th Birthday @tavin_sabbath
There was a time when I was a kid 1986-87 on every Wednesday’s where we used to bring launch ramps down to these same locations in Mission and Pacific Beach, these sessions evolved into a pretty big deal and became known as Big Wednesday. Pretty cool how many people would turn up only to hear about it by word of mouth, decades prior to social media and public skateparks. This was a special moment in time and the place to be back then if you wanted to skate the streets with some of the top pros or local rippers. We recently fired up the OG vibes by building some launch ramps and it’s been popping every week since @navs5000 #weskremer @harryjumonji @pacific_drive 📸 @86dmag
Part of my collection haha , the rest were just donated for a good cause . #committedtomypassion @bioxcellerator_
Never a dull moment hanging with this guy @colinmckay .. these @planbofficial Saturday skate missions are always a fun time 😂 @williamseansheffey
These @robbiecrawford 📹 clips are so cool looking 🙏 I’ve been surfing and chasing waves my whole life but don’t have the bandwidth these days to dedicate the time to it like I used to. This wave pool movement is surreal, I caught more really fun waves in one day than I have in the last decade. Surfing in the wild verse the efficiency of the pool surfing is just like the time invested in street skating verse park skating, no need to wait around in the water hoping to catch a good one or driving around looking for spots all day unless you really want to .. @thepalmspringssurfclub makes me so happy 😀 @redtide83 @kalanirobb @boysensurfboards
Such good vibes today hanging with amazing friends at big Wednesday in Mission Beach. @navs5000 #weskremer @86dmag @alexis_sm4l @missionbeach.sd @pacific_drive @lbsk_prestonh @mussie_45 @zannnderrr_ 📹 and many more

The rocket backflip 🚀 is definitely one of my all time favorite trick innovations on the #megaramp. This was a benchmark moment with what I thought was possible, it gave me validation that we were hardly scratching the surface of potential on this design / scale of ramp @blabacphoto 📸 #mexicocity🇲🇽 2006 #elcamino
30 years of friendship strong. It’s amazing how powerful the bond is we all share from dedicating our lives to the art of skateboarding @dannyminnick skate #art and film #legend ♥️🙏 @hstreetskateboards
Always a pleasure working on board R&D with @professorschmitt . @planbofficial 🧰 🛠🔩⚙️🪛
Signed 13X19 prints of this Mega Rail Nose Blunt Slide are now available in @blabacphoto’s shop. Follow the link in his bio. Each 13X19 print is hand signed by Mike and myself. These and the rest of Blabac’s iconic photos are all printed on premium lustre finish paper and perfect for framing. I don’t even have one of these for my own collection yet haha
