Vic Peloquin the man who created Skatopia Skateboard Park
A handful of men have had a huge influence on my life. My father, John Stamos, Roy Burns, Murray Spivack, Joey Grijalva, Jeff Porcarro, and this Man Vic Peloquin.
I haven’t seen Vic in 40 years (he is the guy who created Skatopia). After sitting and chatting with Vic and his wonderful family I can now see why I recollected Skatopia as such a paradise. The man who created it is a visionary, and has a passion for experimentation and creation.
He told me about how the land for Skatopia was acquired. How the half pipe was made. Who designed the Skatopia logo. Why he closed Skatopia. We also talked about drones, and even flew a drone.
Imagine a Skatopia reunion with these three at the helm! Stay tuned!!!
“Aloha” Hunter Long, a bail shot story
“Aloha” Hunter Long, a bail shot story. Hunter asked me if we could hit Pedlow skateboard park. And just a few hours after the session ended, Hunter was on plane bound for Hawaii.
The next day I edited the photos. And I felt she might like this “bail shot”. So I text her this photo along with some “makes”. And Hunter immediately text back that she thought this image was funny.

Julz Lynn Birthday Party
I shot this image of Julz Lynne on her 21st birthday in Huntington Beach California. This portable skateboard ramp was very tight so I used a 10.5 Nikon fisheye lens and a Nikon SB light on a stick.
