TGIF???

I woke up this morning not knowing how to feel about it being Friday. These are some weird times and the new reality of going to work, coming home and staying home (outside of running to the store or taking a walk) is hard to get used to. I know it’s what most of us do from December-February anyway but it just all feels different right now.

I type all this from my office at work, where someone tested positive for Covid-19 the other day and yet we’re still up and running. It’s confusing seeing all the headlines telling you to stay away from large groups of people, yet most of us are still going into plants or offices with 50-300 plus people. I guess this is the new normal and we just have to accept that if we want to get paid, we have to put the health of ourselves and our family and friends at risk.

Anyway, I know we’ll all pull through this and be out annoying business owners and security guards soon enough. Here’s a few photos from summer/fall 2019 and winter 2020. Keep your heads up, Love you guys.

“Playing in Traffic” Episode Three: Josh Ellis and Max Murphy

Harald Reynolds Skating Videos

This interview was originally going to be with Josh Ellis. But he asked if we could get Max Murphy on as a special guest. Josh cited Max as “his muse,” which made sense when you think of what the two have done for Milwaukee skateboarding in the last ten years. I was fortunate enough to talk to the two about the beginnings of Wiskate, their finest moments, giving their winnings from the All-City Showdown to Sky High Skateboard Shop, the rise & fall of Gorf Life, Max’s move to Strangelove Skateboards and Nike SB and much more. Enjoy and please, like and subscribe!

WAZPZ

Josh Skating Videos

Over a decade in the making (or three years, depending on which timeline of the Beez Cinematic Universe you follow), I give you: WAZPZ.

Update! No one asked for it it, no one wanted it, but it’s here. Feb 1, 2020: WAZPZ updated with 5 minutes of unused footage from 2008. This footage was intended for the fourth Beez video which never materialized. At least 3/4 to 2/3 of this footage has never leaked out to the public. I present: WAZPZ w/ THE BEE SIDES.

If you want to cut out the middle man and watch only the Bee-Sides, I got you:

And of course….the Beez trilogy. By Russ Clark:

If you’re in the streets…you’re a Streeter

Harald Reynolds Skating Videos

I can attribute some of the best experiences I’ve had in life being out in the streets. Skating with friends, clashing with the random hero or seeing a city in motion. There’s nothing that can replace those memories of skating around all day and night. I wouldn’t trade anything for those nights standing in the cold or in a dirty alley waving my camera at my friends for hours on end.

The video you are about to see shows everything my friends and I have done in the past year. I bring you…STREETER.
