  • The Fountain From Caligula

    Lately, I’ve spent all of my allotted internetting time talking about things that happened in times long past. I’ve completely neglected our current era of disappointment and regret. Here’s some photos taken in the year of our lord, 2018. September. Tavis, up and over. Tavis is from Racine. I think. I’m actually not sure. I…

  • Rewind: Mini Video 35 – Bad Reputation

    February 2007. The first video that I made in that year. A new era in a way. I say that because this was the first clip in a long time that had footage that was filmed specifically to use on the website. For the previous few years I had been filming stuff to only put…

  • Rewind: Mini Video 34 – Godstar

    The second clip of 2006. This is a direct relation to the clip I wrote about last week, “Brigitte”, also from 2006. The same circumstances as before. It is compiled “greatest hits” footage from the “Hurry Up and Die 2.0” sessions. In other words, clips that were filmed (mostly) after the January 2003 premiere of…

  • Rewind: Mini Video 33 – Brigitte

    We’re coming up on the 20th damn anniversary of this website real soon. I’m not quite sure how to celebrate such a thing, but a rehash of our web clips from the past comes to mind. A lot of these clips, especially the earlier ones, have never been on the internet in high quality. Think…

  • 2 Sansas 1 Cup or the Sky High 30 Year Anniversary

    This past Saturday Sky High Skateboard Shop celebrated 30 years of existence. Sky High has been a key component to skating in this city for as long as I can remember. Endless years of skate Jams, trips, video premieres, high fives, and beers. The shop means everything! Here’s to 30 more! Here are some of…

  • Toilet Around the Campfire

    There’s been a recent change in the neighborhood. My neighbor has had a toilet sitting near his fire pit the entire time I’ve lived here. The other day, to my surprise, I saw him carefully hitting it with a hammer and putting the pieces in a bag. Word is still out whether or not this…

  • Matt Nordness <3 Fritsche

    For five years Matt (BMAN) had an ongoing love affair with this over the rail into the bank. The run up is terrible. After you land, if you can’t ride it out to the right, you run into a fence. She’s a harsh mistress. But BMAN loved her anyway. She gave, she took, she treated…

  • “I Already Used That Song 15 Years Ago, Guy”

    America’s birthday! Nothing says “USA!” like dogs, Odouls, and Zima. Brothas from different mothas! Pizz and Chase twinned it up at this years BBQ. “No time for slippin’!” It’s unknown if they communicated the wardrobe situation before hand or not, but Pizzy did take up smoking for the rest of his life to pose for…

  • Dining at the Wendys in the airport in Bahrain

    Estabrook, June 2018. Quick hits only. w/ Max Murphy, Rory Morgan, Danny Stemper, Al Stoops, and Nick Mistele. Maybe this can be like a classic wiskate.com post.  This is what happened this week: Grilling season is in full swing. That means at least once, maybe twice, maybe thrice a week, the crew gets in the…

  • Mini Video 90 – Nai Laila

    Compiled footage from several insta clips. Is that cheating? Is it allowable? It’s 2018, we get 1% of the traffic we got in 2003. I don’t think it matters. This was all filmed April, May, June 2018. w/ Max Murphy, Eric Risser, Pat Forster, Nick Mistele, Drew Rickaby, Chris Botsch, Gabe Chan, Sean Hanley, Taylor…
