JORDAN WEST RESTART

With all the different cameras being used these days its hard to match em all up.. Seems like they all look a lil different. Either way, Jordan wanted to start over using one camera so we get a li taste of what he's been up to lately. Dont worry he'll still have a full part in Instrument video this year but until then you get this. Now go skateboarding!

Full name?
Jordan Taylor West

Who gives you products?
Instrument skateboards. Outer belt wheels from Columbus. Joe Dorsi hooks up Domestics Clothing and I get Etnies from the sole tech rep.

Who have you been skating with?
I've been skating a lot with Ian Jones lately. He got a new cam and he's always down to film so that helps a lot. I skate with Mat Frantz, Sam Steele, Joel Blazer and Gary Collins a lot too. A lot of homies have moved to Portland or elsewhere so I only get to skate with everyone when they're in town. I'm down to skate with anyone who shows up to the session.

Whats your set up?
My setup pretty much stays the same. I skate the Instrument 8.5 black logo deck, 52mm Outerbelt wheels, Indy 149s, and Bones Swiss bearings.

Where do you like to skate?
I like to skate all over Cincinnati. There's a lot too skate here. I like skating anywhere a session with friends can go down... Glencoe, D O's , flat or whatever. I like skating banks, ledges, mannys, wall rides, street gaps pretty much everything but jumping down big shit.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In 5 years I'll be 30. I'll be doing the same thing, skating as much as possible and working. I'll probably have a house by that point. I don't know if I'll still be in Cincinnati still or not. I also see myself traveling a lot more at that point.

Who are some rippers you've been noticing coming up around Cincinnati?
There are a lot of rippers in Cincinnati. Theyre all over but coming up I'd have to say the three that pop into my mind are Zac Coyne, Bern Iseli, and Austin Pastura. The younger guys learn so quickly now it almost seems unreal.

What's the secret to to dating all those beautiful women?
Hahaha. Mystery sparks interest. Maybe im just lucky. I definately feel lucky.

Got any shout outs?
Pops, GC, Shaman, Ian Jones, Joel Blazer, Ed, Storm, Al, Andrew Helvey, Licardi, Vlad, Doug Korfhagen, Zach Kincaid, Joe Dorsi, Highschool, Sam Steelo, there's just too many homies to type them all out.

BLOCKPARTY AFTERMATH so far

Ok, so my photographer for the event was a no show somehow so i got a couple blackberry pics.. First the event was a huge blowout. there were prob around 500 heads throughout the day rolling threw. There were too many highlights to mention, but the biggest highlight i thought was the cops rolling up and trying to shut it down. Once they found out we had the proper permits, they had to bounce and the party raged on. the kegs were tapped early but everyone pitched in and there was plenty of drinks to go around. Thanks to everyone who came. For real, Everyone! Thanks to High School from Galaxie, Nick and Macko from Anonymous, Adam and Toby from Koncrete City, Joe from Blacklist, and Ali and Ryan from Able projects for all the help getting this rolling. Thanks to cricket and Devs mom for the help running the grill and beer booth. Thanks to DirtyC and Floyd for keepin the beats blasting all day.......we're gonna make a habit of this for sure. Big ups for the short video Andy Licardi put together...i'll post that real soon for those who missed it or forgot about it....Side note, grammers got double booked that night so our djs didnt get to rock. whatever i guess. Also Mayor Mark Mallory was at the after party.
Kyle Hummer went the distance and knocked out Cole Wilson for the Game of skate title and the duckets. Extra good look and breaking off second place a little something. Kyle killed it for sure. Not sure what all went down on the Galaxie obstacle, i did see ED and Devin fly over the whole thing.. that was insane. i heard jap did too. If you have photos or video please send me some of it to info@skateinstrument.com and heres a little edit doug made throughout the day..Macko from anoymous filmed the game of skate so there will be another video soon.
