Stay Gold

Was taking notes to do a review, then I figured I'd just scan them in. Took about the same amount of time. My handwriting has gone to hell. Thanks i-tunes.

Odds and Ends, Friends

The last weekend before real-life kicks in (for me at least) is on the horizon; looks like a part of Friday night is locked in, with plenty of local skate heads who also design being involved. Nesser handled that demonstration.

If you're not in the TC this Friday but closer to the KC, this is your Friday plan.

If a skate contest leaves the area and no one is around to hear it, did it really even matter the past couple of years?

Back to watching Brazil give team USA some trouble!

It's been a while...

Mr. Alva's Opus

No clue why Meyer chose Ace of Base for this one, but all's well. Barrel jumping is way scary. This was in 2006* if memory serves.

Also, photos and recap of my trip to NYC last week I was in, and then out.

*Nope, not 1996.

Whoville, Same As Ever (Like Always)

Tim, Pete and Phil are going to have to come up with a name for their triumvirate if things keep going the way they seem they could. I should try to get a clip for Flow Trash but, well, I'm afraid of where it'd end up anymore. Credits? That'd be dope.

Jerboi Tucklemenot has some photos from "Ghost Ride" given what appears to be a film treatment.

Killed my hard drive today because of what seemed like trying to stream MPR and look at the internet at the same time. Twas a bummer but, as that universal law goes, now I know the value of seriously backing your shit up. Oh well; gained about 100 gigs in memory and things seem to move faster, but my computer is as dingy as ever.

As mentioned in the previous post, damn, that Etnies video really should have won out (expounding further now that I'm back on the laptop). Even though it makes Meyer and I's idea for a 1992 Shitheads section passe, that shit was really, really on point. Fun to watch, not overdone and not even bordering on pretentious, it kind of covered what everybody is doing skating when there's not a camera around [you know what I mean (and not everyone rips that hard)]. Still, I think Bledsoe and Rojo need to commit to an all Blind jeans and hi-8 part that pulls no stops; I'd download that for three bucks, gladly.

Final note: could the screen grab on the video above be any better? Narloch for daze.

Mystic Wedgie

Good contest, good turnout. More if I can fix my normal computer, otherwise we might have a Plat blackout. It's a bummer; I just paid rent on the URL!

Also, Etnies had the best Skate and Create, and it totally would have worked if T-Blood or Joe Red had come up in the mid-nineties.

Skateboard insane geniosity at work. Yeah that's a word.
