HAPPY SCHWARTZ DAY!

These were collecting too much digital dust. The people have a right to know how much this dude rips! Here are some oldies by goodies from Jon "The Technician" Schwartz. Portrait and sequences by Bobby, except the last one by Grizz.

BROTHERS FROM DIFFERENT MOTHERS

Guy and Bob, Schwartz and Worful.

DAVID IS RAD

Just a quick reminder that David is in fact rad. Layback by David, photos by Worful.

NEW RANDY INTERVIEW

Wow! Hot off the server, there's a great new interview with Randy over at the Skateboarder site. He spills the beans on hot topics like no complies, Matt Ball, and more! It also has some great photos, including this back smith pop out by our pal Mike Stanfield. Enjoy!

A NIGHTMARE ON YOUR STREET SPOT

Drew's back in town after his adventures on the One in a Million trip. While the rest of us patiently wait to hear if he won, Drew's already back to ripping up the local spots Krueger style.

COME HOME SWEET PRINCE

Well it appears that the Northwest Ezekiel Tour Randy was on has come to a close. Looks like fun was had by all though. Now we'd like Randy to come home so we can skate with him please. Or at least bum a smoke or "borrow" a snack from him.

OIAM CREW AT THE PARK

Here's a little gem of Drew and his One in a Million buddies skating the Bellevue skatepark in Washington.

BOB THE BUILDER

Believe it or not, Bobby loves his beard so much that he had a baby with it. His name is Oliver, or "Ollie" for short. Meanwhile, Bobby's hard at work on his new house and it is looking quite proper. The megaramp in the back is going to be sick.

DREWZY DOOZY AND ARTSY FARTSY

Looks like Drew and Art continue to keep it real on the One in a Million trip. Check out Drew's stylish back tail as well as this sick sequence. If his skating doesn't win him the title, his mustache certainly should. Meanwhile, did Art get an intern? Photos courtesy of SLAP.

DOUBLE DIPPING DREW

Dang! Check out this sequence of Drew's double wallride while in Seattle on the One in a Million trip.

LITTLE KEHOE COMING UP

KEEPING UP WITH THE DREW

Yowzers! Right off the bat. Way to do the Drew! Poached post of a poached photo by Judd Hertzler.

KEEPING UP WITH THE CREW

Stay up to date with what's going on during the One in a Million road trip over at SLAP.

INTO THE WILD

Drew and Art are leaving this week on an epic quest for glory in the form of SLAP's One in a Million contest road trip. We hope they rip this contest a new one. Good luck guys! Photo of the dynamic duo in action by Justin Van Sant.

HONORABLE MENTION

I'm no Bill Shakespeare, but I'm pretty proud of my Geoff Rowley poem. -Worful

HELMET HEADS

Goodbye summer sun, and hello fall fun! Today was spent at the south city YMCA park with Bobby, Jake, John, and our friend and resident staff member Justin. Everyone was looking quite dapper in their helmets, but Jake wasn't feeling it. The session was pretty chill for the most part, until Bobby and Justin ruined it by actually trying. Thanks guys. Nollie flip by Bobby and noseblunt by Justin. See you in the leaf pile.

GRIZZLER ON THE PROWL

Check out the new issue of SLAP to see Guy's sick photo of Nate Lacoste doing a rather large backside 180 right here in St. Louis, at the corner of Morgan Ford and Connecticut to be precise. Nice work! Also, if you want to see what Grizz is up to currently, go here to see what's happening on the Alien Workshop trip he's on.

IF YOU GO TO THIS BLOG THEN YOU CAN GET TO THAT BLOG AND IF YOU GO TO THAT BLOG YOU CAN GET TO...

Hi everyone, Mike Stanfield is regularly updating the Ezekiel blog with photos from the Northwest tour we are currently on.

Hot dog! -Randy

PHOTO SHOW

I have some photos in a group show currated by my good friend Justin Visnesky. He's got photos in the show too, as well as some other fine folks. The opening is this Saturday the 13th at Snowflake/Citystock at 3156 Cherokee street. Also, my mom will be bringing treats. Stop by if you can! -Worful

ART IN A MILLION

Due to the excellent work he did filming both Ryan and Drew for SLAP's One in a Million contest, we are very pleased to inform you that Art McAuliffe has been selected to accompany Drew and the other four One in a Million contestants as the trip's filmer. Dat's sum surrrrious STL repreezintayshun rite thurr. Congrats, Art!!! Whoot! Whoot!

Photo of Art by Worful, by the way.

SKATEABLE

Goeke has curated an art show centered around the artistic activities of local skateboarders. It's called SKATEABLE, and we're pretty excited about it!

Check out the above flyer for all the pertinent details, but the Goekster wants us to mention that on the day of the opening, Thursday the 4th, a "pub-skrawl" will push off at 5:30 pm at the Pin-Up bar in the Loop and will take the metrolink over to Belleville to hit up another bar before winding up at MAPS art gallery.

For the underage types, note that there will be a BBQ at the Belleville skatepark on the 13th. It's sponsored by our good friends at Infinity and a Consolidated STL board will be given away. The gallery will be open all day too so kids can stop by and see the art.

But the most unique thing about the event, and the thing that makes it truly Goekefied is that Ben will be creating 3-5 new spots by the 13th. After all, creating a spot, just as much as skating a spot, is a form of art. Who knows what the objects will be--hell, they might just be some janky wooden pallet creations--but if you've never shredded a Goeke-approved obstacle, you haven't fully lived the STL skate experience.

Goeke promises that the whole event will be "sweet," and we know that he has been working hard, so we have high hopes. Please come out and support.

DREW IN A MILLION

A big healthy congratulations goes out to our boy, Drewser!!!! As you may have already heard from SLAP, Drew gathered enough votes to put him in the top 5 of the One in a Million competition and gets to travel to the GvR contest. Our other beloved companion, Ryan Sublette, lost out of the top five spot by only a handful of votes, which cuts all of us just a bit too close to the bone. Ryan, we wish the rest of the world realized how rad you are.

Regardless, thanks to all who voted for Drew and Ryan. Drew, you better rip shit up!

LAST DAY TO VOTE!!!

Please go vote for our boys Drew and Ryan before it's too late! Good luck you two!

JUNK IN THE TRUNK

Be honest. Would you rather lock a kid in the trunk like Koston or pull a Ploesser and leave your regular board in someone else's car and be forced to ride a crappy filmer board?

We think David made the right choice, Rasta trucks and all.

Sweet wallie/polejam, son! BALLWIN REPRESENT!!!

BY THE TIME HE GETS TO ARIZONA

It is with a little tear in our collective eye that we inform you that Reggie's off to school. The repercussions? 1) Sessions are already less zany and antic filled. 2) The decibel level of sessions is considerably lower. 3) Lastly, the frequency of "N-bombs" dropped at a session just decreased by 100%.

Have a blast, Reg! We'll miss you...

TOMFOOLERY

Drew sent us this fantastic montage of him and some friends styling and profiling at the J.B. park. The last trick is a masterpiece, and much better than Randy's recent leap of faith attempt. Filmed and edited by the one and only Art.

APPROPRIATE

Appropriately Ploesser. That's how we'd have to describe Randy's sequence in the new Ezekiel ad. Way to swim Dolphin!

INAPPROPRIATE

Worful's skate career has really gone downhill ever since his injury. First biker gangs, now questionably themed restaurants? This is clearly a cry for help. Or a cry for hot wings.

BAD TO THE BONELESS

Is Worful trying to get into David and Jack's biker gang? Is he starting a rival gang of his own? More importantly, will his mother really let him ride one of these things?

DREW SITING

Whilst trolling the vast wasteland that is the internet, we came across this great photo of Drew doing a back smith in Barcelona. Photo by Lisa Kindberg. Enjoy!

MITTS IS A DISASTER

Matt thought his trick in this photo was somewhat disastrous. We think it's sick though. Backside disaster by Mr. Matthew Minton, photo by one of the fine folks at Lowcard. Matt apologizes for forgetting his name. We forgive him.

TWO IN A MILLION!!!

Wild card! That's right, the 11th and final contender for Slap's "One in a Million" contest is none other than Ryan Sublette. As you can imagine, we're pooping our pants over the fact that both Drew AND Ryan are both up for it. Way to go boys! Now go vote for them.

RAZOR RAZOR RAZOR

Hood,
Your shirt, as well as all that talk the other day about sharpening knives, probably subliminally led me to do some chopping of my own. Sorry. This ollie's still pretty sharp even if the photo ain't. Hit me up for some shuffleboard, homey.
Heads will roll,
Grizz

Who wouldn't want to see this boy smile? Go here to vote for Drew when the time comes!
