The Weekend Part 1 – Saturday
Got a new camera, so I figure I might as well use it. Here’s some pictures from this past Saturday. If I don’t drop the ball, Sunday will also be up soon.

Fall is, by far, my favorite season. Sweatshirts and beanies, perfect temperatures and Halloween. I’ve always felt more productive on my skateboard during fall. Maybe it’s because I know that soon I wont be able to skate as much. Or maybe it’s just that after all that summer skating, I finally feel comfortable on my skateboard again. I guess it doesn’t matter why, but it’s pretty rad.
Speaking of fall and Halloween, there is a really good show at the Onopa Brewing Co. on October 30th. These guys play covers of your favorite 8 bit Nintendo games’ music. With hits like Metroid – Kraid’s Hideout and Double Dragon II – Story & Boss, why would you ever miss out on a live performance from these guys? The Advantage is rad.
In other news, I have been drawing up ideas for a new site design. Hopefully they get the thumbs up from the Wiskate overlord, Josh Ellis (pictured above). If you have any suggestions, keep them to yourselves.

Everyone knows that rollerblading is lame. I’m not just talking about skateboarders here, I’m talking about your everyday average person. Rollerblading is what your mom does when she wants to lose weight, so it’s obvious to everyone that it is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to skate vs. bmx vs. blade crap. So what happens when something comes along that’s even lamer than rollerblading? Sounds impossible, but yet, a few years ago every single kid in the universe had one of these. It was as hot as Pokemon and Die-Cut Fruit Rollups combined! Yes, Razor Scooters. If rollerblading is what your fat mom does, razor scooters is what your 6 year old little brother rides over to Ralphies house to go sniff his mom’s panties, or do whatever it is that little kids do nowadays.
Somehow there is someone that has so little self respect that he somehow got good at riding those toy scooters. I guess it’s sort of a niche thing, but this is seriously one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen on the internet. Plus, dude pushes mongo! This dude might as well simultaniously listen to the Dawson’s Creek theme song at full blast, while playing DDR, getting a Taz tattoo surrounded by tribal roses, as he’s shopping at Hot Topic while pushing violently mongo on a tiny metal scooter up to his lowered, airbrushed Honda Civic with Neon Lights and huge Japanese stickers all over it parked in the Blue Oyster Club parking lot.
Thanks to JD on the message board for the link.
In other news, I once jumped down some stairs on a pogo ball, maybe I should put a video of me doing it on the internet!

Wow, Tim’s last post sure was bitter and full of angst. There is a simple explanation for this. Brats. Yes, back to the almight bratwurst, and Bratgate Day 9. Tim has no sausages. No links, no brats, nothing in an all natural casing. He is getting annoyed, testy, and very hungry! How long he can survive without a link is anyone’s guess, but I’m sure that it’s not long at all. There is light at the end of the tunnel for Tim though, tomorrow is his first pay day from his brand new non Madison but still full of hippies job. He has already allotted 50% of the funds for sausage acquisition. Hope he can make it.
It looks like the bratwurst fever may have spread to me too. I was going to make some hamburgers I had in my fridge, so I walked over to the grocery store to pick up some buns. I’m kind of cheap, so I went to check out what kind of rolls or scones they had in the day old bakery area, but the joke was on me. A very cruel and calculated twist in fate by the bratwurst gods placed the day old right next to the sausage cooler. The second I laid my eyes on those links, I knew I had to make them my own. I walked home, bunless, defeated, but with a pack of brats and a green pepper in tow. Tragedy later struck when several pieces of the green pepper fell into the fiery briscuits below and died a painful and smokey death. Always remember.
With all of this brat news, we’ve been neglecting to mention how Mr. Twister’s lunker over at ratemyfish.com has been doing. It’s still holding on to the #1 position, but is slowly losing it’s lead over second place. While the Northern in second may be a bigger fish, take a look at how the guy is holding it. He holds it like a mother sheep coddles her newborn baby lamb. I.E. Like a total puss. Now take a gander at how Mr. Twister holds his so proudly, high and mightly, like a true warrior would hold his defeated foe’s head aloft after a brutal bloodfilled battle to the death. Who do you think should be number one? A warrior, or a pathetic weakling? I think you know the answer, vote accordingly.

Josh and I have been talking about having a contest of sorts. We wanted to have you boners submit edited videos of yourselves sucking at skateboarding and we were going to put together a panel of judges to rate your performances and award prizes. However, there would have been some rules that you tards would have had to follow.
1.) No handrails or stairs. That’s right kiddies, you may actually have had to think creatively for once and skate something different.
2.) The video couldn’t be more than a minute long. So you would have to make every move count.
3.) No music by any bands that have already been in another video. If you used any song by any band that has been in another video, you would have been immediately disqualified (and you couldn’t trick us, we are the ultimate skate nerds).
4.) No white belts. A simple rule, very easy to follow.
Those would have been the rules. The winner would have won a good prize and had his or her video posted on the site for everyone to laugh at. Could have been fun, but we’re too lazy. Oh well.

Bratgate Day 8: If you’ve payed any attention to the moblog this past weekend, you may have noticed that the brat fever has violently spread. Sunday night at my house the first ever wiskate.com Brat Extravaganza occurred. Many wiskate luminaries were in attendance, and the case of brats bought for the occasion was left in total ruin. Not a brat left standing. Could things get any wilder? I’d wager not.
Also featured on the moblog is Tim’s bratwurst bike. I wasn’t aware that they made bikes for fans of this sort of sausage, but the brat fever shouldn’t stop there. Tim also requires beanie babies, an “F. Dick” sausage stuffer, a sausage finger illusion, and of course, a bratwurst sampler!!! Make Christmas come early for this brat fan!

Looks like Tim already covered any and all breaking news concerning Bratgate Day 4. I’m kind of disappointed, what could I ever even talk about? Well this is a skateboarding website, how about we try that for once.
I broke two boards in a 24 hour period skating a small gap. It’s funny when kids think breaking skateboards means you’re a radical skateboarder, because a board breaks because of bad skateboarding not over the top thrashing. It’s also funny when kids claim that so and so brand of skateboard sucks because “Oh I broke that in 3 days!!!”. No, it didn’t break because it sucks, it broke because you landed on it wrong, dumbass. And that brings us back full circle to me, yes, I am a dumbass that sucks at skateboarding.
New videos? Actually a new one did finally crop up. A new Digital video, of which its name escapes me right now. It’s pretty good, but what kind of disappoints me is that it seems pretty serious for a Digital video. They usually have goofy songs and funny footage, but none of that this time around. Lutzka has a good ten tricks in there too, it’s nice to see new stuff of him out there. Jayme Fortune has a really good part in there, so it’s worth checking out, I guess.

Day 4 of bratgate and I am feeling the effects of one day without a brat. That’s right, I didn’t consume one brat yesterday. You may be wondering why, and that is a question that I, myself can’t even begin to answer. But let me re-assure you that I will more than make up for it today with a whopping 4 brats in one sitting.
Yesterday, while at Josh’s house playing round after round of Dance Dance Revolution, I began to realize that skateboarding isn’t as much of a workout as I previously thought.
In other news, it seems as though Mr. Twister’s lunker is taking top honors over at ratemyfish.com. Good work Twister, way to represent the UMV.

Bratgate Day 3: Still haven’t seen Tim since the day before yesterday. He called yesterday and was claiming he was going to come over and play some DDR to dance dance off some of the weight he’s gained since going bratatarian (kind of like rastafarian, but with less Jah). He never did show up. Today he ims me and said he didn’t feel good, so he didn’t come over. My theory is that he had too many, or too few brats.
Once you go brat, you can never go back!
Damn, that’s one hell of a lunker that Mr. Twister caught. He needs to put that up on ratemyfish.com. It could only get 10’s straight across the board. Tim is working hard at ratemybrat.com, which sadly, isn’t much like ratemycock.com. And no, that last one isn’t about roosters, so don’t peep that with mom (she’ll get stoked) or dad (what the hell, he’d probably be stoked too!) around.
Update! Rate Mr. Twister’s fish here!!!
