EAT, WORK, SLAY

I met some dudes up at the Webster park again last night and it was super fun. Gabe and Sam were getting tricks, and Jack and Randy were literally playing with fire. -Worful

NICE AND CURVY

I met up with Bobby, Jack, and Joel the other night at the Webster park. Joel was having fun on the curved ledge, Bobby was having fun just being Bobby, and Jack was having fun beating the three of us repeatedly at S.K.A.T.E. He also was nice enough to bring me a nut for my front truck, thanks Jack! -Worful

WARM IT UP

Having forgotten that I'd busted my nut off the front kingpin of my board, I showed up at the courts on Sunday with no board to skate. Thankfully Gabe was nice enough to offer me his filmer board to cruise around on. Thanks Gabe! Things were going fine until Gabe's camera took a slam of Bobby proportions. Ugh, sorry Gabe, that's a huge bummer. Shortly after that happened I left to drop Schwartz off at work, and then met back up with everyone at Shepard. Which ironically is THE perfect spot to cruise around at on Gabe's filmer board, what with the comical amount of snags and whatnot. Everyone was killing it there, but I only was able to catch their warm up tricks since everything else they were trying was so complicated and deserving of a sequence camera. After that I followed the Kehoes to McDonald's which was a mistake. But we made up for it by going to skate downtown, which was fun. Randy got his ollie on, and Troy was got his weird on. -Worful

SPOT CHECKING

Saturday, after we went here, we did some random spot checking for some new stuff to skate, during which Alex quietly killed it. Grizz got in on the action as well. Sick! -Worful

OPPOSITES ATTRACT

What can I say? Opposites attract. Also fun skate spots attract, like this bank. It's kind of hard to skate, but we checked it out this weekend and had a good session. Meanwhile, the cameras Gabe's checking out from his school keep getting bigger and bigger, and I'm worried they're going to become self-aware and get out of control or something. -Worful

ENDER ENDER ENDER

Check out the St. Louis ender in this sick tour video from Circa! JB park represent, represent-sent! -Worful

PARTY TIME

I met Randy and some dudes at the blind school ledges yesterday. One of the aforementioned dudes was none other than Martin "Marty the Party" Murawski. He was working some intricate ledge combo type stuff when I got there, that was fun to watch. Meanwhile, Randy's foot is currently not cooperating, and poor Drew just had surgery on his arm. Get better soon Drew! Gabe was getting the high definition angle, and Pratte was getting a lower definition angle (so to speak). Oh and Alex was ripping as usual. But he was bummed about his shoe laces for some reason. -Worful

WALL GRAB TO MALL GRAB

Apparently Bobby refuses to skate any spot unless it involves him threading the needle somehow. In this case, a tre flip over this hip and between this pole and the corner of the building. And while I don't "get" Bobby's current obsession, I'm supportive none the less. So I tried some ollies, but the only one Bobby was happy with was the one where I grabbed the wall. I deemed it too controversial though. -Worful

ALL THE KING'S HORSES AND ALL THE KING'S MEN...

This weekend was pretty mellow it seemed, as far as skating goes. But I met up with Guy, Bobby, Zurheide, Steve Roberts, and Alex at this slight incline to ledge in U-City. That was fun. Alex got into a stalefish nose pick, and then got an ollie off a bump and into a steep little bank down the street, thanks to Zurheide who spotted it. So yeah, pretty low key, but fun and super good weather of course. But I can already feel it getting darker ealier, nooooo! -Worful

NEW GRAPHIC?

Jake Zurheide (also known as "Zurm," "Zurchart," and "Prince Zurheem" of course) proposed a new graphic idea to me recently: a girl reading the Necronomicon, also known as "The Book of the Dead." Wow. -Worful

DOUBLE POST

Here are a few double exposures that I got developed on the recent rainy day we had. There is a special term that Wissman coined this particular pictorial layout, but I can't remember. Speaking of Wissman, the part that makes this post a true double post is that I also wanted to get the word out about Wissman's recent unfortunate event. Someone, or a group of people, recently Grand Theft Photo'd his point and shoot camera while he was at the St. Charles skate park off Elm street. Any aid in helping find this would be greatly appreciated. Wissman just wanted to "warn" the culprit that they need not confess, but honestly we would all appreciate it if you would!

UP, OVER, AND DOWN

I met up with Guy and Bobby so he could film a trick at the lighting company bank. After a few tries he managed to ollie from the bank into the skinny ledge. Sick! -Worful

HAPPY 19 YEARS, 1 WEEK AND 2 DAYS CHRIS!

With school coming to the forefront of responsibility lately, I have reluctantly put video editing on the back burner, studying on the front burner, and filming on that little burner in between the two front and back burners that is usually found on the fancier electric stove models (and I guess lurking on forums has been put in the microwave). So, if you can follow that logic (or lack there of), showing up fashionably late is the video from Chris Jackson's birthday!
