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!

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.

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

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.

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
