After Grant's face couldn't take anymore shaking, they moved on to documenting...
jump + grant
...Grant's aerial skills! (Kid's still got it!)
jump + grant
Why not enjoy some fresh...

Hoverboard!

Stationary tricks!

Later that afternoon, we met up with Matt!
jump + grant
Of course, this led to more jumping action shots! Meredith did the jumping jack while Grant went for the more difficult David Lee Roth version
jump + grant
Action jump-shot in the parking lot. I love this photo SOOOOO MUCH! From L to R: Karen, Jenny, Matt, Gurj, Grant and Meredith!

Again, I'm not sure what song it was, but it apparently required some pogo-ing...
jump + grant
...and that's a motherfucking DLR (David Lee Roth) jump-kick!
jump + grant
We left the party and headed back to Beford to catch the subway. Check out this "off to see the Wizard" shot that either Katie or Siege managed to snap. Hahaha.
jump + grant
Hahahaha. Grant executes a new move.
jump + grant
And to practive your aerial manuevers.
jump + grant
Higher!
jump + grant
...the craziest, highest rock n' roll jump kick I've ever seen in my life. If only DLR (who lives less than a block away, incidentally) could've been there to see it - he would've wept with joy knowing his heir apparent lives. (This is so wallpaper worth - click here for the hi-res version).
jump + grant
Hahaha. The fact that Fatty and Grant are making eye contact make this "Back to the Future" moment even funnier.
jump + grant
...here he is at the peak! How fucking unbelievable is this picture? As soon as I clicked the shutter I knew I'd managed to capture something magical. Click here to download a full-size, high-resolution version. Because you know you want to set this shit as your desktop wallpaper.

Here's my failed attempt to catch him at the peak of a DLR kick - don't worry, they'll be plenty more of this later.
jump + grant
This picture is so awesome it merrited a close up. So here you go.
jump + grant
...SID AND BUDDY KARAOKE! After a long hiatus from the karaoke circuit, Grant came back with a fierceness! Pulling his usual ariel stunts...
jump + grant
Grant's jam got everyone crazy amounts of worked up. Going so far as to inspire Candy to try her first DLR (David Lee Roth) onstage air kick!

Hahahaha.

After my little nappy nap, Grant and I headed down to Eastern Eye to pick up the enormous order of Indian food we'd ordered for dinner (where I managed to snap this sick-ass photo of Grant's superb rendition of the rarely seen sideways variation of the DLR [that's Mr. Lee Roth, to you son] air kick.)

If you thought you loved the original, wait until you get a load of the sequel: Grant jumping off the rock, PART II!

If you've ever played Frisbee with Grant, you'd know that he thinks he's Michael Jordan. Seriously. Instead of ever just taking a few steps back to catch the frisbee, he'll stay exactly where he is and try to jump and catch it. Since Grant is 68" tall, the letter "a" here represents approximately 36" (a little more half of his body). The letter "b" represents the approximate reach of Grant's arms outstreched. And the letter "c" represents the remaining 33" of pure vertical leap he'd require to catch the frisbee. Somebody get this kid a trampoline.

After we were done with the laser show, he headed back to the streets to look for something fun to do. Having totally given up on any of us scoring some "Haha" for the night, we decided to do what we do best: Take. Stupid. Pictures. Yeah! Here's Grant doing his first DLR-Kick (That's David Lee Roth) on (off?) Cretan soil.

Saturday night was slow - so Grant and I walked around Chinatown and decided to take pictures. The night's theme: ACTION! Here's Grant doing a double-footed flying kick at a pile of fruit boxes.
jump + grant
More appropos to Chinatown, here's the spinning back-kick version.
jump + grant
Success! Grant pulls off the slight more difficult "Panama" variation of the DLR kick. Noice!
jump + grant
This is my new fave pic of Grant. He looks like an eight year-old on Christmas morning.
jump + grant
... their DLR (David Lee Roth) kicks! Check out Grizzle in the background. Haha.
jump + grant
Here's the lesser-seen "sideways DLR (that's David Lee Roth, playa) kick."
jump + grant
Well, three steps into his "run," the board let out a loud "CRACK" and Grant bailed (like we all knew he would). Again, check out Ross screaming with laughter in the background.
