I know Josh hates it when I put up Youtube videos but I think this one might be legal because its mine.
Cream City summer edit. Some of Milwaukees finest!

I need to finish this one quickly since it's pretty much perfect skateboard riding weather outside, and Bill is on his way here. Supposedly. Bill is not known for his arriving in a timely manner. Stemper is also in town, and is claiming it's grilling weather. I'm not going to disagree.

These are from a Saturday a couple of weeks ago.


Tj Bohach - 5-0 Grind.


Max Murphy - Wallride to proper nollie out. I think doing the wallride on the screen was helping him cheat on the nollie out. Don't tell him I said that.


I couldn't really capture the spirit of the 80s any way I took this one. Tj didn't mind doing it a bunch of times though. Wallride melon blast out.


Tim was trying a pretty difficult maneuver for awhile but couldn't quite get it. He does look pretty good after he falls though.


Roger was skating with us that day and spent his time skating hunting squirrels.


Roger also spent his time messing up my beautiful photos by being too concerned with squirrels to look at the camera when I needed him to.


This guy though, whew, never looked better!


Pizzy's secret was later exposed.

Don't forget to watch the new mini video, please? I'm also feeling pretty good on future mini video prospects. I just logged a tape the other day and it had 57 clips on it. A lot of them were lines and thirty second six man combo maneuvers. A very fruitful video cassette.

People, don't blow it this weekend. Make sure to come out to Sky High's 80's skate jam at Classic Slice over there in Bay View. Even if you don't like the 80's or skateboarding or street spines (I would find that hard to believe) there will still be pizza, and everyone loves pizza. You don't even have to say Pizzy to get a slice!



Like I said; don't blow it. There will be prizes, contests of sorts and a whole bunch of Pizzy - I mean pizza.

While you're on Wiskate, why not check out the newest mini-video offering? Hilly Michaels kills it.

Later nerds.

It took a really shitty and rainy day for me to finally sit down and and go for it. By it, I mean of course, only two months too late, Mini Video 46 - San Diego 2. I can definitely say that this features the most rock skating of any video clip on the site, ever. I hope you like rocks.

I just opened my email to find this screen shot sitting in there from Russ with some sort of implication about a Beez DVD contracting Herpes or somesuch. At least it's in good company of a beer bong and a CL. Solid.

Found in the Bobby Worrest day in the life on the TWS site here.

Wiskate media blitz! As Tim mentioned, a couple of my photos are in the new issue of Stuck Magazine. Sean Drews, KP, and Gabe Chan also have photos in there. Strong showing.


We have to give big thanks to Mike Munzenrider for making this one happen. Beez Flick in issue 56 of The Skateboard Mag.


Many moon ago I was just a little guy making cut and paste zines with xeroxed vaguely decipherable skate photos to give to my friends in school. I would have never believed one of my photos (even if it is of a guy wearing a deer wizard costume), not to mention a small article about my friends, would be in one of those big-time skateboarding magazines. Again, troves of thank yous to Munzy.

As always, if your life is Beez-less, the videos can be purchased here for a one time installment of $12.99.


Beez, SWARM!!!!

One fateful weekend a year our friend Dave that lives a bit furthur out in the country than the rest of us do has a little get together for everyone he knows. Beer, skating, goats, fireworks, amphibious vehicles. All the things you cannot do living in the city, you know the deal. Basically a triumphant way to explore your primal urges to unsafely play with explosives, eat meat, and behave in an uncivilized manner. Or just sit in his basement and play Tempest. Whatever you want.

I'm always way too busy having fun at these things to take many photos so here's just a few pictures from this year's Sadlerfest.


Tim Olson - Layback Grind on the compound's infamous mini ramp.


Tim Olson - Power Edge inspired smith grind.



A few bands played. Dustin Ciborsky is in this one, they're called Curb.


A big box of fireworks was provided to launch at the bands or whoever was skating the ramp. Tim was scared his russet potato was going to get burned.



Satanic rites.

That is all.

Hey guys, it's been a minute. Sorry about the lack of attention, but do you really deserve it anyway?

We have been skating a lot lately, and I am really surprised at the amount of new and good stuff we have been finding to shred. The crews have been random and solid as well. Even Nordnis has been getting out there with us on our weekend missions and has been logging some good footage (which you may or may not see before 2009).

Hey, did you jerks see the new STUCK mag? Couple of photos from Josh and Sean Drews up in there. Pick one up at Phase II, rip out the photo of me, hang it on your wall and throw darts at it, beat off to it or just admire the pretty colors after having a nice long conversation with Hank.

Speaking of pretty colors, check this picture I took of Nordictrack;



Back smith into the bank. Beautiful skies. Great spot.



Wonky (aka Molly), loves going out to Cream City with us for old dude night. Mostly because she gets to stick her face out the window and enjoy the summer air during the drive. Not many more of those summer days left, so make sure to get out there after school or work and use the time wisely. I know I will.

Later nerds.

Throughout history a perilous fate awaited many first time wiskate posters. There have been many that have posted a mere one time and then disappeared into the wispy darkness of space and time (pictured below). I'm glad to see that our two new buddies Risser and Pizzy have both made it past that ill fated first mile stone and have come through with their triumphant second appearances. Thanks guys!


The fate that befell many previous first time wiskate journalists.

Moving on, it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago, and I'm glad to say that it was a good one. Here are some pictures, featuring 4% skateboarding content. Sorry. But thanks much for the great day to everyone involved!

It all started at Cactus Club where Russ and I were Djing.







The next morning after a great Chinese buffet lunch and a trinket buying experience at American Science and Surplus we took it over to the beach.
