The crew.

Dam Yeah!

Come support our good friend and local ripper at what he does best. Tomorrow!!

Up North Trip

Not much else to say at this point, except thank you to Ryan for planning and navigating and the most amazing board focus in the history of physics (not pictured). Also thanks to fellows who made the drive up from St. Louis, and everyone who cooked and cut and shared their Deep Woods Off!(!!!). Most filming by me, some by David U and Matt Minton. Broomery by Dave T. Alternate soundtrack here.

Dan, The Hump, Dan's Groin

We're straight cellular on this one, call it a morsel of what's to come. Lookit Dan bringing his flippery to the Steven's Point hump the rest of us would only ollie. With the yanked groin, no less.

Edit: I can't believe I didn't include this.

For all you chomos.

This is the first installment of the super duper fun time we had living in the tall woods of Wisconsin. Dorian contributes some beauty flicks. Preach.

Rain or Shine

No one I know looks forward to rain. And I think I'm speaking for every skateboarder when I say "Fuck Rain." But how do you think those rainy day spots feel when the sun is out and the birds are singing away?
Bumming.
Yeah, exactly. Bumming.
So you know what I say now? I say, "Rain?....Fuck it!"
And that's just what Zack and Kyle and Bobby and his friend Dave and I said a couple weekends ago. And then the sun came out anyway.

Elementary my dear boys.

A ledge spot, once again. This place lies at Milwaukee and Belmont for anyone who reads this blog, if that even happens. Just jokes.

Remix.

Dorian Byrd makes a mash up of a recent photo. Well done dog, well done.

Something Wicked

Ryan and Jackson and I made an early run out to Roselle today, bailing completely on a standing agreement with a some others for a nightcap (some of us, it seems, have jobs?). Then this black storm of death came at us from the west, heaving mightily into view before sobbing upon us like a heartbroken sow. The winds did whip. The kids did scurry. And we packed it in and made for the Portillos in Bloomingdale.

Runways

There's really no accounting for taste, is there. Here we find Ryan and Stu throwing caution and rumor to the wind, dressing twinlike and slamming themselves into our spot du jour, the updated Ravenswood wall.
And then these guys don't dress alike at all! But they're happy, aren't they? Cutie pie fuckers stalking the season's biggest surprise in the sunlight. Piotrowski pow-wow.
Elsewhere, Ryan's board caught the ugly end of his shoe drop. Extreme focus.
But don't think for a second that happy faces are all we share. Lest we be called gleeful assholes! Here Dan and Dave model miens slightly thuggier during one more Ravenswood party. And hoo boy did Ryan get himself a trick, and so did his board live to see another day! Let's go camping!

Older guy.

Happy Birthday Dan! We like ya here around this place.

Hyding Out

Dorian and I skated around Hyde Park a couple weekends ago. We don't have much to show and tell other than this drop-in pictured here...which I kind of forced him to do.

Honorable Mention

Jesse and Bob of the Beerics doubled up on The Skateboard Mag's most recent Photofile. Peep it!
