Recently we had the pleasure of watching some Pretty friends from out of town rip one of our local St. Louis, Missouri spots. Check out Columbia, Missouri rippers Ryan Sublette, Brandon Eades, and Jeff Pulliam at the tennis courts. Photos by Worful.
My current roommates Mike "Filmbot" Stanfield and Mark Stewart edited some sweet videos for the Birdhouse "Edit Your Own Video Contest." I think they are disqualified according to the rules and regulations, but its pretty undeniable that they are the true victors. First is Filmbot's edit, then Mark-ass Stewart's edit. -Randall
This link will take you to my Flickr account and show you all the non-skating I've been doing since I left St. Louis after the holidays. God help me. Start on page 4 and work backwards.
Thanks to Wooden Cotton and Justin Van Sant for their kind words about Pretty and our video! Justin is a local St. Louis ripper for sure, but he's also a really good photographer. He took this photo of Randy's nosegrind at the Jefferson Barracks park. See more of his work and read an interview they did with him here.
Pretty pal Jabari Pendleton now rides for Turf Skateboards! Download their new video Turf's Up over at Mumble Magazine and watch his banging full part.
Congratulations to Randy, who's now on Ezekiel too! Here's the mind boggling sequence from his first ad, shot by our friend and Ezekiel team manager Mike Stanfield.
Matt Minton has left the dismal St. Louis winters for sunny San Diego. We miss you Matt! Come visit soon. In the meantime, check out some of his amazing footage over at 48 Blocks. Switch 180 heel into the bank, photo by Grizz.
Hello everyone out there in the internet. Welcome to the new Pretty Skateboards blog! We'll try and update this as regularly as we can. Also, we're working on a brand new site as well. For now, here's an interview with Pretty pal Randy Ploesser on the Birdhouse site. Photo by Michael Worful.
