Rob Meronek Photography

Now we're off work again and rolling around in front of the hotel. The founder of the Mag is not going to put himself on the cover.

A smith grind is one of the last few ledge tricks I have left in my late 40's.

I'm trying hard not to do yet another Meron grab.

I had to get a tourist photo of my own at Disneyland.

Rob starting the morning out with some tiger claw on a frontside hurricane stall.

Rob hanging out with the locals.

Rob and Dylan setting up registration, which you can skip if you register online. Do that so you can go straight to skating.

Rob getting up there with this melon to fakie.

One time, Rob made this. It wasn't this particular time right here, though.

Rob showed up late because he's scared of concrete.

Rob showing us that the old dudes still got it.

Front 180 from Rob.

We had Rob out holding down registration in Lakeland.

Rob had the day off.

I had to pass the camera off to Body to shoot one of my classic meron grabs to fakie while we took a quick break before getting to work at the contest that morning.

My view in the broadcast truck.

Pause for a few kickturns.

Of course, I had to run the ol' meron grab over it.

Rob Meronek and Alvis also showed up and killed it.

I have to fan out on BA every time I see him.

Me, Body, and Joe, fancy sippers of fine local sauce.

Pause for a selfie with Syd.

Let me pause and show you my new whip I drove to the Driveway today. It's a straight bucket that I got off Craig's list from some redneck in Largo. I figured instead of your average dad car, I'd go for something old and fix it up a little. This is a 1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue that smells like museum and makes my allergies explode, but runs great and will be good after a few fix-ups.

Have you seen all the news in the science industry about how trippy mushrooms connect certain gateways in your brain? There's some good scientific evidence mounting that it really does make you think different and more creative. Just sayin'.

I had to jump in for my own tourist photo.

In case you missed my impromptu free performance here of my fallback career skills, you can <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fUx90Zeb5U&list=UUbAksQURtWblfl4L1RmgA8A">catch part of the act here</a>.

Come to find out Rob was at The Berrics, and not in Vancouver running Van Doren Invitational.

I have to get my own safety carve in at the seawall.

With there being no run-up on this manageable sized rail for an old guy, it's a good excuse to go caveman.

I like this crazy looking quarter in the corner. Thanks Jorge for the 360 flip fakie sequence.

I had to get myself in there at Wallie World.

Well in my head my ollies look much better than this. Maybe the camera takes 10 inches away from your pop? Or maybe that's just age. These hips in the center of the park are fun. Thanks for the photo, Porpe.

Tourist photo part two.

Thanks Clements for a mountain of legwork and details management to make this event go smooth and fun. Thanks Strubing for the party photos. Thanks Zappos for having us. Thanks Vegas for the good times. Let's get everyone together and do this again soon!

I had to put my own fake 360 flip in there. Or maybe that's a heelflip?

I had to log one with my weight on there, too. If I ate HiDefJoe, I'd still have to pay for my meal.

I can't resist getting a photo with Mark.

When there's a spine, I have to hand the camera to Joe to get my meron grab. Thanks Cowtown for having us at your contest and using our scoring system. We'll be back in AZ soon.

In the grown ups circle with Scott Koerner from Dakine, Rob Brink from the internet, Josh Friedburg also from the internet, and me, Rob Meronek, definitely from the internet.

I got my son Alvis strapped to the chest. Dad duty combined with photo duty. Photo by: James Luedde.

For the future grand opening, we'll have a sign. For now, it's bland for sure.

Now I'm on the other side of the camera after handing over my Nikon to Brandon Starr. We're going to get a different view of the Contest through his lens eye. I told him to go get a photo of Buck Smith and some random chill shots of whatever he finds interesting. We used this shot to learn how autofocus works.

Maybe I'll see you for a flat ground game of 80's SKATE in the empty TF next to the Store? Street plants will be involved. We'll be hanging out doing nothing from 11am to 6pm on Monday, March 3rd if you care to join us here. Thanks again for following along with what we're trying to do in skateboarding.

I should have a shoe bench like this right in front of my overstuffed closet.

And that's how my night ended. We kicked ourselves out. Thanks again, Zumiez!

I wonder if Joey Bada$$ spotted me staring at him the whole night. Thanks for getting the photo, Porpe!

I had to step into a photo with the man of steel myself.

I had to switch places with Porpe for the photo with Earl.

Of course, I got the meron grab.

And there's my Houdini quick escape back home on the cruiser. Thanks again ya'll for a great premiere.

I had to pause for a photo with the trophy girls.

I had this same pivot to fakie five or so years ago when I came here for the first time. Skateboarding makes time stand still even in old age.

I feel nervous handling all that.
