Fall Classics

It took a second, but Fink and The Hesh came through with the Backyard Ramp Jam '09 edit seen above. Careful trying backside bonelesses on damp decks.

Track jerboi DTorg.org while he demos with Real in the Midwest.

Head over to Hardflip to read (the re-emergent) Perry recount his trip to the Rumble in Ramona.

Bear Hughes Lives!

-The Chaos section from the first video I ever seen, 411 10.

Happy Weekend.

Familia Throwaways

The Familia Video Unused Footage

While all Familia related info is once again on their main site, humble bloggers like the one right here sometimes overlook that fact, and happen upon things like the video above a little late. That problem has been taken care of. Indeed, some hidden bangers have been uncovered, and it'd be really, really nice to see some more of that Nate Compher ish. Rumors abound about the kid; is it MMA, is it this, or is he content to continue doing so little with so much (or is it the other way around)? Does Bird still call/send? Who knows.

(And if it is MMA, Jr. Mint versus Lennie Kirk would be mind altering)

16mm Autumn

Not a whole hell of a lot happening here. Midopoly vs. Boondoggle? Voice your opinion there, if you care to.

Does your (sex) life imitate porn? Or something? Its an interesting read I suppose.

A bit old, but a quick history of the 3-pointer in the NBA. The season started, expect more of this shit.

Hey Fink, were you a bit more hungover on Sunday than expected? BYRJ '09 edit still coming soon.

I wandered upon the MN Skateboarder profile page the other day; take a trip back to 2005.

Jammin' Jay and Woody built an indoor park in Lake Elmo, here are Jay's flicks. Evidently, the spot is at Summit Boardshop, and after a surprisingly not-that-half-assed search of their site, I found absolutely no details about their skate-space, aside from a layout and construction photos. Details might be forthcoming.

All the kids that saw me doing it first were getting sponsored, but they all had wack styles. Thanks Chromeball.

Hmmm. Also: what judges are looking for.

Meyer???

"I'm not like other guys."

Zombies are so en vogue right now. Git some tomorrow night.

This is the 400th post since the switch to blogger, which makes it the 1837th Platinum post overall (that's an estimation).

Happy Weekend.

Midopoly Ten Year Reunion?

Fire up the St. Paul Student Center.

EVERSOLE SHRUGS

While I lifted the formatting of using italics under a photo from BTO, I not only let the dude know who does that blog that he ain't seen nothing yet, but I also have linked to his site exactly twice. Inside jokes are fun for everyone involved, so don't get salty. Small .jpgs!

I bought the newest Tiltmode video, Bonus Round a couple of months ago, and I had no idea that it also held the prior two Tildmode videos within until, like, yesterday. Therefore, in a time killing fashion, I watched the original Tiltmode video, and the bullet points beyond here sum up my thoughts:

-Its now cool to "review" videos from the past.

-There's lots of questionable hip-hop(?) music(?) in there.

-Jesse Erickson was mad good; way to go on the Lance Mountain dummy.

-More questionable hip-hop.

-This is now live-blogging.

-The montages were always good. Holler at Mike Crabtree!

-Joe Red's gear was atrocious in the early aughts, good thing he found colored jeans in the latter part of this decade; dude rips.

-Fun interludes are still sort of fun.

-I skipped Cab's part. Some other dude skated.

-Ed Devera is better than the long-haired dude that is posing as Ed Devera.

-Interlude. Skip!

-Shitty hip-hop instrumental equals...skip! (That excludes hating on the dude that is pretty good but he's ripped) (not a good thing while skating small ledges)(who does some shit but nonetheless is way too in shape to look right while doing a scrawny man's activity)(notice how I didn't use sport; STREET CRED!). Put a shirt on.

-Heard about the Stabbin' Cabin. Who knows Captain Stabbin'?

-It's sick that MJ was on that roadtrip.

-Louie Bartletta almost blew it on this part because while he missed a lot of tricks that would have been awesome, he almost didn't fall that funny while falling. There was some random dude in there. Louie also failed to have a bad haircut. Either way, he's banging way hot chicks at the age of 40(?), so fuck you.

-Benji used the montage song for B-show.

-Jerry Hsu will rule forever.

-Cute puppies and doubles montage!!! Wait, there weren't no puppies? But the song...

-Ricky Espinoza skated to one of the raddest skate video songs ever, and I'd be a dick to hate on it. What the fuck happened to him?

-Marc Johnson is at his best when he's not trying too hard. He's also the most "modern" looking skateboarder in this video, and all in all, that means nothing. I say A-Team would have worked if Marc had just never shaved his head and donned the hair that god had gave him. Seriously.

-Enter Stevie Cab doing a Jets To Brazil cover and lots of slams and heartwarming shit and dummies, and we got this! (After-party foote non-withstanding.)

-(Louie's nose-ring) End on more cute shit.

-Cabs boardslide of destiny is amazing. Sometimes you don't have to make it to take it. You just take it.
