SEAN OF THE DAD



Sean was in town recently. It was sick to see him even though I only got to for like an hour or so. But he definitely seems to be killing it on the dad front. Yeah Sean! -Worful

Editor's note: Post title by Bobby of course. Damn you Bob.

TAT'D UP


I met up with some dudes at the Webster park and saw that Chris got some ink! Radical. Then I played a game of S.K.A.T.E. with Guy and Bobby and later a game of B.O.N.G.O. (a VERY tiring version of S.K.A.T.E.) with everyone else. Both times I got denied. -Worful

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO STRETCH




I met up with Drew and Gabe this past weekend to see Drew very successfully slap in and out of a smith grind. But only after properly stretching. Remember kids, ALWAYS stretch. Or else.

EXPECT LESS, SKATE MORE




After getting kicked out of Meramec college and getting bored with Kirkwood high school, I followed an elite crew of rippers to the Target slanted manual pad. The ground there has seen better days, that's for sure. And since he was near by we got a visit from Troy. Although he was confused as to why we wanted to skate there and called it a non-spot. This, strangely, from someone who I always thought of as a greatly appreciated pioneer of non-spots. To each his own I guess. But I'm pretty sure Joe proved Troy wrong and made the best of things as he always does. -Worful

NO 5BORO PREMIERE TOMORROW


Bad news. Apparently UPS didn't bring the new 5boro video today like they were supposed to. As in UPS is a bunch of fuck "UPS." Get it? The didn't "deliver" the goods. GET IT? Anyway, here's the scoop from Jason at Infinity...

"Long story short, the UPS driver does not like our posted store hours (for the last 13 years). Even though it says we open at 12pm clearly on the door, they came at 10:15am and never came back. This video was sent next day air to us from 5boro. This is not mine or 5boro's fault. This is completely the fault of our lazy UPS driver. Please spread the word that there will be no video tomorrow."

...total bummer! But there WILL be a premiere Monday night at 8pm instead. See you there! Thanks Jason. -Worful

I'M LOVIN' IT


I love these dudes, and all the dudes I've been fortunate enough to meet and will continue to meet through skating. And despite what your significant other might've told you, Valentine's Day is kind of lame. But showing your bros some love is not. So send them a text or a hologram or whatever people do nowadays and let them know you appreciate them, their skating, and solemnly swear that the next time you try a hardflip you'll try your hardest. -Worful

THE BORFFICS


So awhile ago Bobby and I had this idea to start a website called The Borffics, combining my name and his name. Get it? Anyway, so what's The Borffics you ask? Well it was going to be mostly clips of people skating the Webster park. Probably? I don't know, we never got that far. But apparently there's a very similar site called The Berrics that beat us to the punch. Oh well, the lazy bird gets the turd as they say. So what's The Berrics you ask? Well I guess it's a website started by Randy, Marty, and Price and it combines all three of their names (sort of) in a very similarly clever way. Great minds think alike I suppose. But yeah, I'm not sure what the site's supposed to be exactly, but they seem to have posted their first every video and it's very entertaining. Please watch it, Randy does a bunch of fakie flips. I hope this website of theirs takes off! -Worful

KICKSTARTER MY HEART(ER)



CLICK HERE FOR LINK TO KICKSTARTER PAGE.
My friend Sam Mcguire set up a Kickstarter page for a trip i'll be going on if we meet the Kickstarter goal. For those of you who don't know how to get free money for cool or stupid personal projects yet, Kickstarter is a fundraising website While it may sound like a bunch of shysters trying to get a free ride (well, yeah..) its also a pretty clever experiment in trying to involve the audience in the experience of a trip with professional skateboarders. There are several benefits to donating like opportunities to interact with the trip, get your footage in the DVD, get personalized postcards from the road, receive signed or unsigned product or van leftovers, or blow up your social media rep by getting a twitter or instagram thanks and @mention from the skaters.
Want your favorite or least favorite pro skateboarder to prank call a friend of yours? Even that can be arranged by kicking in the right amount of $$$.
shit, If you have 500 bucks laying around you can get an impromptu demo at a location of your choice if its on the map.
so obviously a lot of this is being done with a grain of salt to experiment with the possibility of people interacting with a trip like this and if you see through the evil self-serving lies just wait before you go on a moral rampage and realize that all you're doing is essentially just getting what you choose to pay for and you can literally suggest anything. Otherwise you are just paying for a tour video or photo-book in advance if you don't want to do any of the other silly stuff. Considering the line-up of skaters it will probably be pretty damn good.
Check the link out and see if there is anything on there that would make you want to help us get this thing rolling!!

INSPIRATION


Here's some Monday morning inspiration for you. Or should I say some BIGSPINation for you?! Anyway, if you haven't seen the BA footy in this montage then you're really missing out, and no we don't understand how he's spinning that bigspin either. He's amazing.

BENCH LIFE




I met up with Joel and Bobby at the Webster park last night. Joel wasn't sure if he could still kickflip over the bench, so instead he tried some other stuff. Then he and Bob did a tandem ollie over the bench, and when I asked them to do it again so I could could shoot it they got had a real 'tude about it. Total divas. -Worful

J-RAD





Gabe told me he was meeting up with Jared downtown to film something. That definitely peaked my interest because Jared's so damn sick. He of course came through with a smooth back tail while warming up for a steezy front nose. -Worful

DEREK FOREVER


Recently, Derek Leroy fell victim to torn knee ligaments, and, unfortunately, he is going to be out for the remainder of the snowboard season. Consequently, he can't skate right now either. His presence is missed dearly at Troy park, and, to commemorate his temporary absence, we made this video. GET WELL SOON DEREK!
