JEFF DOING THAT "JEFF THING" THAT HE DOES SO WELL


Bobby sent me this. At first he saw it on Skate AZ and thought it was just a nice photo, but then he realized it was none other than Jeff! Photo by Patrick Driscoll.

THE FINAL GRAVITY

Behold: THE FINAL GRAVITY. Might as well.

CRAP HOUSE


Ah snap! Drew's got a new part. Well, according to him it's just "throwaway" footage, but it looks pretty sick to me. And the song's on point! Enjoy, thanks Drew! -Worful

SKATE OF THE UNION








Tonight Joel, Bobby, and Drew came and picked me up to go to the Granite City indoor park for a nice session. Joel turned heads when he turned this ramp upside down, Bobby set up a gap and heelflipped it, and then Drew went way overboard with this backside crailslide. Fantastic! Then we headed back home and listened to Obama handle his business on the radio. Not a bad night. -Worful

Editor's note: The title of this post was thought of by none other than Bobby. I'm so pissed I didn't think of it first, thanks Bob!

LINDSEY BROHAN

Lindsay Lohan from 48BLOCKS.COM on Vimeo.

A little late on the draw on this one, but some bros made this fairly excellent digi-cam magnum opus entitled "Lindsey Lohan." It includes a clip of our pal Jabari Pendleton and has some clips from the Ezekiel Northwest tour that I went on a couple years back. A skate video the way it should be. Oh yeah and there's a Joey Pepper part. No big deal.

LARRY ON THE SCENE







Larry and some homies met some nice dudes from Hillbilly Bombshell (a shop in Bellville, Illinois) recently when they were cruising through St. Louis. Here's some footage and nice sunset photos from that day. Check it out, thanks Larry!

BLOODY HELL


Bobby seriously got a bloody nose while ripping the other day. I had to run across the street to Del Taco to gank some napkins. It was hilarious. -Worful

SHOOTING SPREE





Talk about and oldie but a goodie! Wow! Thanks to Chris Jackson for pointing out this diamond in the rough, Shooting Spree from Sean Kuehnel, circa 1998. The skaters, skating, and music, all banging. Let's here it for the late 90s folks!

RANDY GETS PRICED


There's a nice photo of Randy performing a noseblunt slide on The Skateboard Mag's site, shot by Matt Price. It's in the Fresh Crops section, which features more of Matt's great photos.

GET AT ME


I found out about the blog GET AT ME! today. It's a Kansas City blog that Sam McGuire posts on that he describes as "It's like the KC Pretty blog except it's only crappy cell phone photos and no actual useful content." Sounds great to us Sam. This entry, taken from a fateful night in which I managed to yell at a homeless person, renegade a beer in White Castle, and drop-kick a crave case into the side of Jack Donze's head in the matter of a half an hour, prompted a van full of the Escapist team to call me at 10:30pm on their way back from Miami to go with them to White Castle by my house and shotgun beers with them before I knew about said blog. I'm glad the internet age has allowed my late-night retardation to be so pervasive and inspiring. Oh yeah, Malto posts there too. OMG!

IT AIN'T DEAD YET


I'm sure everyone knows that skating at the Webster Groves park has been "blocked" (PUN INTENDED!!!), but have you seen Alex and his friends skating it anyway?

MALL GRAB






I met up with Bobby, David, and Drew and headed to the Plan Nine skatepark again today, to seek refuge from the bitter cold. Guy, Randy, Joel, and Jake met us there, and we also ran into Bobby Taylor, Larry, Chris, Reggie, and Jake when we got there. It was a super fun and super crowded session. Jake debuted his winter beard and David debuted his new winter haircut. Meanwhile, I got to shoot some video with David's great new point and shoot camera, and Jake and Joel got some good stuff on their new portable video cameras as well. I'm hoping we can put an edit up soon of some stuff that went down. I also managed to get a photo of Jake's sick ollie over the gap. Go Jake! -Worful

WAY, WAY, WAY BACK IN THE DAY


These two little homies need no introduction. If this doesn't put a smile on your face, I don't know what will. This made my day for sure. Thanks for sending us the link Alex! -Worful

A DAY LATE AND A GIRL PACKAGE SHORT


I got a package from Girl today intended to support the fundraiser last Tuesday. It includes two "where the wild things are" edition boards (7 3/4" and 7 5/8" wide) 4 t-shirts (2 medium, 2 large) 2 adjustable Girl hats, and a shitload (no pun intended) of stickers.

I'm willing to sell all of this gear for $100. Thats a good deal right? All proceeds go towards the kingshighway benefit fund, which after a couple extra contributions now comes to $1889.34. If you are interested email the the Pretty address as seen on the right there. Thanks!

SPEAKING OF BIRDHOUSE...


Be sure to check out this six part series of the east coast Birdhouse tour that Randy was on recently, also via Shred or Die. Here's part one of the series.

RANDY AND DREW WAY OUT WEST


Randy and Drew hit up some parks out west recently on behalf of Birdhouse. Here's some of the rippage that went down, via the folks at Shred or Die.

ROB HANIACEK'S FANTASY FACTORY

While I was up in Chicago over Christmas, Rob H. was kind enough to take me to his secret hangout. In turn Santa was good to Rob this Christmas and got him his very own FLiP camera. Now we can all celebrate the first of hopefully many RobEdit's.
