• Couple’a

    If you were checking the moblog at all recently you might be aware that me and Mike were in NYC a couple weeks ago. Here is a couple of video clips from the trip. First is Mike skating the Autumn Bowl. I think it was filmed the same night that we saw the building that…

  • Hot Boards Benefit and Art Show

    There’s going to be an art show/benefit for Hot Boards this Saturday (The 5th) 6-10pm at Lucky Star Gallery which is located on 207 E. Buffalo. There is going to be a silent auction on hand painted decks painted by all sorts of artists. Supposedly there is also going to be free beer provided by…

  • Remember the video reviews?

    I’d like to present these two new reviews as some of the best examples of what could possibly be submitted. The funny thing is, I pretty much completely disagree with them. I liked the AntiHero video, and I don’t even need to see the Black Label one to know how much I’d dislike it. I…

  • Blindsided.

    Let’s say you have a favorite skateboarder (which you most likely do). Let’s say this skateboarder kills everything and has a good style. Now what if you found out that this skateboarder is gay. Would you care? Would he still be your favorite skateboarder? Do you think it would hurt his career if he came…

  • Come Home Smelly

    A couple more old ones…Pat Forster – 360 Flip, Ben Vance – Kickflip Backside 50-50.

  • Yikes…

    With serveral pro skateboarders now proudly rocking Diesel Jeans (while supposedly riding for other clothing companies), and occasionally spotting some Louis Vuitton luggage in an ad or two, the skate world is now on the couture tip. Obviously ipods are part of that whole scene, so let’s place a wager on which pro will be…

  • Avoiding homework for a brief moment by posting here…

    Lately there has been a fair amount of talk about local skate videos within the Illinois and Wisconsin skateboarding communities (especially on the skate websites pertaining to these regions). Some recent videos from the Chicago suburbs are being treated as if they were extremely important, when in reality they are just regurgitating things that are…

  • Oh Snap!

    Today is big Playa’ P’s birthday! I am not too sure how old he is today, but I will guess he is 29? I don’t know and it doesn’t even matter. Pat will be young at heart forever! If you see him, give him a hug and a Red Bull vodka. He will be stoked!Happy…

  • Dad In A Van

    Tim has been on me forever to scan these. There was an article about Milwaukee in the February, 1996 issue of Transworld. You may recognize some of these faces and names. Page 1. Page 2. Page 3. Page 4. Page 5. Page 6.

  • As Challenging as a Game of Battletoads.

    This is probably one of the most difficult things I’ve ever accomplished. Me and a few other people have cell phones with cameras built into them. I wrote a program so we can all send images to the site and have the whole shebang be updated automatically. Things will probably get ridiculous once in awhile,…
