Daddies Ambassadors out for a nice Sunday Shred Sesh.

Zach Boston getting sideways in the boonies! Rich people boonies.

On sunday I went out with some of our new Daddies Ambassadors. They took me to a few spots I had never been to and it was actually pretty sick. Pretty gnarly though. The hills we hit up were steep, fast, and buttery smooth.

Richard Topete - Sliding away

Richard Topete - Toeside steez.

Richard and I wore the same jeans that day. It was pretty cool haha

Richard was killing it! Showed up a little late and just came in on fire.

Zach Boston - Coleman FTW

Zach's board ran away from him... luckily it was a rayne and took the bad curb blast very well!

Eric getting wild with an Indy/tuck knee slide

Connor starting the session off

Today we had a little session at a few spots before the rain came in and left us wet and walking home. It was pretty lame but the mini sesh was fun. Connor layed down some cool tricks. Kickflip back 5050, fake flip tail slide… back 180 nose grind.

Daddies Ambassadors and Daddies Staff

Eric Hoang - Shred Face

Eric Hoang is one of our newest Daddies Ambassadors to join the family! Stoked to have him on board!

Richard Topete - Toeside Massacre!

Richard is another one of our new members to the ambassador team! Style for days!

Zach Boston - Parking garage shred

I don’t think anyone learns as fast as this kid… such a pure natural style! Zach Boston is another new member!

Mikey Duran - Back Tail

Mikey, AKA Miguel Duranos is one of our shop members with a love for the street scooting. Also an insanely talented dancer when he is on a bhangra.

Pete "Pedro" Benda

Pete is one of our staff members who loves all types of skating. Street deck with 66mm 81a freerides? That is some all around wood-push street-slaying love right there!

Spencer... does it all and loves it all!

Here is Spencer getting all sideways on one of Portland’s finer spots! Except it is on the gnarly side, of Rocky Butte that is!

Curly Headed Quote of the Day: “You guys will be proud of me; I spooned with some chick last night.”  *note* his new nickname is now spooner.

Pam AGAIN!!!! She is on FIRE!

She is on fire! Pam Diaz is GREEN!!!

In a box from Abec 11, Daddies Board Shop Team Rider Pam Diaz, found a note that read… “GRN TM / Skate Fast.”

I feel like all we are doing is blogging about Pam but it is hard not to when she gives us so much reason to! There is a lot left unsaid but it is looking like Pam Diaz is going to be getting hooked up from Abec 11. We sure hope she does. Abec 11 is smart to get her on board early. Pam is just one of those riders with natural talent. If you give her the tools she is going to build an empire; that is the type of rider and person that she is. We have watched Pam grow into the fine rider that she is today and when we see companies like Abec 11 getting in on her steeziness… it really brings a smile to our faces.

Felicidades Amiga! You are killing it! Keep up the good work and you are bound to go far!!!

Kurtis Thompson : Rippin it up!

So I met this little homie a while back up at a Rayne Slide Jam in Vancouver BC. I was chatting with his dad for a bit while I was shooting some pictures. In fact… I think I still have some pics of him! He was definitely killing it back then and killing it even harder now!

Fancy Slide Jam! Lots of DBS GOLD!

Check out all these Gnar Dogs!

The Landyachtz EH TEAM and DADDIES BOARD SHOP rider Katie Neilson is on the road doing an East Coast Tour of college campus’s between New York and Florida, making stops everywhere including Chapel Hill, North Carolina where there were sightings of little rippers in Orange all day.  In a contest where style is key, its no suprise that the daddies rider went home with best trick for a double grabbed stalefish with an early grab out at the end.

Written by the goddess Skatie Katie herself! Thanks Ms. Neilson!

Straight up getting buck on some slides!

Fancy slide Jimmy Jam! These dudes look good, but not as good at DBS Team rider Katie Neilson! OWWWWW!

Thanks for the photos Katie!
