PROper.

He did it. My friend and local hometown Manassasan Billy Roper skates for Goldstar and his pro deck is out now in the "Bomber" series. Check him out.

Fridays with Me 2.

Here's the latest Day with Duy episode featuring some of the regulars with the addition of some Manassas locals that include Billy Roper of The Hundreds. Watch it at the Days with Duy channel on Vimeo where you can view it in HD.

Ropes.

Roper and I came back home to Manassas from LA and Richmond this week and caught up with some old friends at Osbourn Park. He rides for The Hundreds down in LA and has been making more of a presence for himself in the skateboarding community. I was shooting Fridays with Duy Nguyen at the time but managed to get some pictures together. The episode will premiere next Friday but in the meantime check out the photos over at theworsteyes. Also check out Billy's blog here.

Success.

So I would consider this past Saturday a success for everyone. I got to see a bunch of old friends and discussed our next project, Film This, so be prepared for that one. Everyone's part was pretty sick and of course Roper's part blew everyone's out of the water. We still have a few copies left of Tennis Use Only if any one is interested but their going to be sold at Tony's shop so you can pick one up there if you missed out on the premiere. But just look at Justin and that fat stack.

I'll have more pictures up from that day up on the photo blog once my situation with the president of Flickr gets figured out. As for now, peace out hommies. Haha.

Tennis Use Only.

This time next week on October 15th, I'm going to be making a trip up north to prepare to cover and support some old friends with their premiere of Tennis Use Only, a project of the skaters, Justin Whitacre and Goose Ordaz. Documenting all that goes on in the Courts, TUS will feature those who are frequent visitors. Located in Northern Virginia, skaters such as Billy Roper and Ben Hatchell have flipped there. That 18th, starting with a local slam, the video will be projected that night, no where else but at the Courts. Here's are some promos for it. Can you spot me?
