Skating in suits...

...Filming in boats. There are very few video parts that make one smile for their pure novelty. This is one of them.

Fun times at 3rd Lair Saturday night after 9:00 p.m. It's 21+ and hay cervezas. I'm hoping to make and skate if the back holds up. It's true, and it hurts (on the inside) to type.

Zach Morris was on the TV. Just now.

Happy weekend.

RE: Why We're Different

Following up on Rudy's explanation of why skateboarders are different than everyone else, there's this photo of a guy catching a bat at spring training. Yeah, he didn't even spill his beer. Not bad. The whole story is explained here. How many times though, have you been skating a ramp, bowl or whatever that has a high shooting board factor, and nonchalantly picked a high velocity board out of the air with nary a flinch. Yup, thought so. Probably didn't spill your beer either.

While the loss of The Fed is debated and discussed in a refreshingly respectful and interesting way in the comments on the post below, with uncanny timing, the Kalis at Love Park Epicly Later'd was released today. Has that era in skateboarding become one of the most lionized ever? I'd say so.

Mikey Guy has a part up over at the Familia site.

Head over to The Hesh for the latest version of The Hesh Mixtape.

Tri-fi

Late to the game on this because I was busy maxing out the Zorch Meter™ in AZ. The little dude did it, even after tweeting this, and one has to think that CJ was in attendance at that game if you listen closely.

Scroll down to the bottom of this and watch the last video from Devolve for your other DT news of the day. Prep rallies for dayz...

Skating ultra steep banks is like trying techish manual tricks for us mere mortals. Low return in tricks made, but every once in a while you roll away, and then it's worth it. I was going for the high risk low return thing, but...CBI has the Beryl Banks on display; it'd be interesting to ask Rick Howard how that thing stacks up to our own Steep Bank of Doom. Hey Fink, how's that doc coming around?

Being an alum of an early 21st Century skatehouse, from a very productive time in both skating and partying, I read Frozen in Carbonite's skatehouse rundown with great interest. Heads up to the Done House of KC.

Two different takes on some Locs in SF: lo-fi and then the hi-fi and then I guess I just found this. So three.

Wondering about what's up with the clip Meyer posted below, I've never seen that.

If you say "other" in the poll, tell everyone where in the comments.

this should have win best trick.

The new line from the GF. That Whodi board is reminiscent of a griptape paint job the guy had some years back.
Since my last post, The Hesh has rebounded well. SMANG'n it totally.

Hectic week and I'm over it. Note the comments. Happy weekend.

Early Breaking

All my shit talking against The Hesh must abate because they came through hard with the video above. I've even got tricks in there that I don't remember filming, and it's always good to get a dose of Whodi.

Was Theotis' mom at his birthday party with strippers? I won't even ask the question, that's just weird. Awesome skating, and even though I'm cool with whatever party foote is in the clip embedded above, grainy shit of dudes mostly laughing at each other in the linked clip is really boring. They used Ignition (Remix) for the song and that's tight, but I'm claiming 411 Status, and thus that song can be used again.

For those who care, I've once again taken to updating my photo blog The Plat Lite with stuff, so if you're bored or randomly obsessed with me, there's the ticket.

Hardflip has a "hard" date set for it's re-launch. I for one, am eager to see the new incarnation.

Devolve is a new blog by GG and the Fun Boys, that has been enthusiastically updated every day since its inception about a month ago. I told Torp that if they keep up such a level of hype for about a year, that they'll have something going.
