#TBT Jeph Howard - Tru Fish - New Brunswick, NJ

For a month or so in 2007, Jeph Howard sort of lived in New York and New Jersey before heading out on And 1's Ball 4 Real Tour with Bunique. He would stay in NYC most of the time but on the weekends we would all head to New Jersey and skate with the Gnar Mobile (Now Shredwiser) crew. I personally remember this time being one of the most fun eras of blading for myself. About a dozen of us would pretty much all stay at Erik Stokley's house, film and shoot photos at sick skate spots all day, blast Led Zeppelin, then come back home to bbq and a pool party. Jeph was able to experience our "blader rock star" lifestyle and he loved every minute of it that he could remember from not being blacked out drunk.

This was from one of our cruises through Rutgers University when we set up this ply wood to a bike rack. Despite how much he had to drink the night before, Jeph was nailing almost every trick on this first shot. This was my favorite of the bunch.
