Rob and Luke go lunch break cruising. Heard the snow might be gone by Friday. You probably won't get much posting out of me this week.

Potentially cool content at Chromeball though, all week too (like most weeks).

Chris Burt and Co. do Plymouth by night and it turns out pretty darn good. Jack Olson is featured, who just had some really kind words printed about him in the latest issue of Skateboarder; even his name on the fold out (the park style curmudgeons should be proud)! Hat-tip to AC who notes there are lights until 8:30 p.m. Post-title hat-tip to inane commentators in the comments section.

Just when you thought the Transworld video was on its last legs, they break format and rehash (in what I think is going to be a really good way) the concept of their fourth video, Cinematographer. The line-up looks interesting with some new names and old, though I'm slightly disappointed there's no Steve Celentani in the mix, strictly because SD is so relevant again.

It's obvious the biggest problem with the Plymouth Plaza is that it's in Plymouth. Not a terrible drive, but it's kind of far. I was skeptical when I showed, to be clear.

Finally made it up to St. Cloud this week.  The park is pretty sick, and the locals are even sick-er.  I threw a little video together of the afternoon.

Speaking of the X-Games, Animal Chin gets the Slate treatment. I'm not really buying into the conclusions made by the story.</summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.platinumseagulls.com/feeds/3052537753417352433/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3505319463655978343&amp;postID=3052537753417352433&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3505319463655978343/posts/default/3052537753417352433'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3505319463655978343/posts/default/3052537753417352433'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.platinumseagulls.com/2011/07/where-do-we-go-now.html' title='Where Do We Go Now?'/><author><name>platinumseagulls</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14688503482156563511</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='18' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HiCy-0BDIao/SoBxqu83iBI/AAAAAAAABJg/GwGjjNQwGSY/S220/PLATINUM_SEAGULL.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505319463655978343.post-3813872216284942798</id><published>2011-07-21T02:54:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-07-21T02:54:48.640-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Posted Before The Email</title><summary type='text'>Mini Video 78 - On the Floor - Wiskate.com from Josh Ellis on Vimeo.The Torey Pudwill outlook on skateboarding is really great and all, but...I suspect that Max Murphy and Matt Nordness are semi-secretly doing some of the best skateboarding around.

Westgate has become one of my more recent favorites. He has a purely original style with good simple tricks.  These Emerica b-sides have me constantly saying "I can't believe they didn't use that!" His epicly later'd is really rad too.
