A nice montage of some local rippers at some local spots, good stuff!

GET YOUR RANDY FIX

Randy has a nice trick in this Transworld Skateboarding "5 Trick Fix" clip. Thanks for the link Bobby!

LOOKIN' GOOD

Here's a few snapshots I nabbed on Saturday. Matt Cornelius marvels at his creation (at least that's what I would be doing). An anonymous donation was made at a nearby filling station. Joe Jackson has a boo-boo. And last but never least handsome, Jack Donze is rumored to be teaching Round and Round: History of the Frontside Three-Sixty Ollie at Princeton this fall, while Daniel Castillo is on sabbatical and Kien Lieu is mid ollie.

SEAN OF THE SHRED

Sean's in town! It's been really good to see him, and we all decided to drive out to Perryville to skate the Feltz park all day Saturday since it was so nice outside. It was super fun, and lots of sick skating went down. Bobby busted out of the gate with a monster hardflip over the hip, first try. Yeah Bob! Then he broke out his trusty Zip Zinger and shook things up a bit. He also got a buddy line with Bobby Taylor, but you'll have to wait to see the footage. Joe was feeling the good energy of the Bobs I think, and he threw down way too many tricks to list. He even got out of his shift at work just to come skate with us. Thanks Joe! The bank to ledge is soooooo nice, and so lots of great stuff went down on it by the likes of Joe, Drew, Larry, and Jack. Also Herbert's nollie front noseslide, which Jack deemed a face melter. Jake and David got some footage, but I unfortunately don't have any photos of them. Not to be out done, Sean threw down as well. He's got a job, and wife, and a kid, yet he still can flick perfect backside flip over the hip like "that." So think of him next time you're being lazy. Anyway, it was a great day and I'm glad everyone made it out. Thanks guys!

JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE

Randy, Joe & Gabe from D.C. Uthus on Vimeo.

Behold, another fine creation from the mind of David Uthus! Randy, Joe, and Gabe having a good ol' time at the JB park. Thanks David, more please.

BEEZ!

If any of these things interest you...
1. avant-garde skateboarding
2. a wizard deer breastfeeding
3. man-hogs violently convulsing
...head to Infinity and pick up a copy of the work of genius which is Beez. It's probably the most confusing and surreal experience you can have for $10.

JB MONTAGE

A Glimpse Of Summer from Dave Probst on Vimeo.

Thanks to Dave Probst for sending this JB montage over our way. It looks great!

STIFF FRONTSIDE LIP

This cummings Thursday, Pretty expatriate Sean (presently of the San Antonio citizenry), will be landing in St. Louis for a week-long sojourn. Expect some documentation of airborne stunts and maybe a cute baby pic or two.

LIFE'S A BEACHY

Check out this great podcast Chicago Center for Literature and Photography did with our pal Kyle Beachy!

WARM WEATHER???

Well what do you know? It was actually NOT that cold outside this weekend! Thank goodness. I met up with Drew, Guy, Jake, and Jack and it was super nice be out and about. We (by "we" I mean Drew) warmed up a little bit before going to check out the steep banks on Southwest Avenue, near our beloved Harry's Bar & Grill. They had paved the top part though, so we mostly skated the mellower bank which was fun. Then we (by "we" I mean Jake and Jack) ended things with a game of S.K.A.T.E. before heading home. I hope it doesn't snow tomorrow. -Worful

THE SKATEBOARD MAG

There is a very nice write up by Randy in The Skateboard Mag's newest issue, about the fundraiser he organized recently. There are some great photos by Sam McGuire too. Thanks Randy, Sam, and everyone who showed up that night! And don't forget to come to the next fundraiser on March 13th.

WORD TO THE WARD

SKATE OR DON'T

If you don't know Bryan Gilmer, his wonderfully unique tattoos or how to read, I'm sorry.

KEROSIN CLOTHING PROMO

Bobby reminded me to post this great Kerosin Clothing promo, featuring some of his friends who came through town not too long ago as well as some stuff they filmed while here. Dope!

MARTY!!!

We would like to congratulate long time Pretty pal Marty "Drummersaults" Murawski on turning pro! And we couldn't be more happy that it was these fine folks who stepped up and did the right thing. It was long overdue.

Check out Marty's welcome video and start counting the days until Make Friends With the Color Blue drops. In the meantime, tell Jason that you'd like to purchase Marty's first board.

A TRILOGY FOR THE AGES

If you thought this trilogy was good, and that this one sucked, then we're pretty sure you'll love THIS one. We promise.

KINGSHIGHWAY BENEFIT REDUX

Here's a flyer for another benefit. We still have money left from the last one but this will help keep things moving in Spring. I won't be able to make it or help out but it looks like a good time. Thanks to the people who are organizing this and continuing to support the project!

THE CALIFORNIA STATE SUMMER SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS

Kids from all over come together for a month of intensive focus in the following disciplines: animation, creative writing, dance, film/video, music, theater, and visual arts.

MANDERSON

Check out the new Matix ad with Mike "Manderson" Anderson going off at you know where.

LALA LAND

So I was in the LA-ish area for the past few days, to see my good friend Rob. He took me to Venice Beach to hang out with some of the locals and whatnot. Meanwhile, there's a new skatepark there and I got to watch some rippers along with the rest of the crowd. But I would have to say the highlight was the synchronized roller skating going on near the skatepark, definitely. -Worful
