DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!

If you're of voting age please don't forget to vote! If you're not of voting age then see if anyone who needs to vote needs a ride to the polling place. And don't forget about third-party candidates. -Worful

TEMPORARILY OUT OF SERVICE

Joel's in the hospital. He's doing fine though and staying muy positivo. Give him a call and tell him you'd like to see him back on the streets!

HALLOWINNERS

Christopher "Hot-Cop" Jackson assembled a worthy cast of suited up skaters to celebrate Halloween at the Jefferson Barracks skate park.  We all learned why firecrackers are called firecrackers, and we saw friction from them turn into fire firsthand.  Thankfully Jesse "Sexy Haz-Mat Suit Guy" Brenner dressed according to fire prevention protocol and was able to contain it.  All in all it was a great turnout, and hopefully we can keep the tradition alive for years to come! Thanks to everyone that put their life on the line for the sake of a good time, and sorry if I missed a few people's tricks!

TRICKS OR TREATS

Hope everyone had a good Halloween! Meanwhile I roamed around downtown the other day with some dudes. Very fun. Came across some random new spots, as well as some established spots. The real dilemma of the day was trying to decide if we should keep skating or go eat. The age old question. Meanwhile Joe Jackson's ENGAGED! Congratulations Joe! You better do a sick line down the aisle. -Worful

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PRACTICE

Not a game, not a game, not a game. We're talking about practice. That's what Joel and I were all about the other day at the Webster park, practicing stuff over the hip. Joel faired much better than I did, so I took notes. -Worful

SEQUENTIAL BROS

Randy AND Alex have sequences on The Skateboard Mag site. Yeah dudes! Photos by Bart Jones. -Worful

MORE GREAT MCGUIRE PHOTOS

Here's some more great Sam McGuire photos, this time from The Done Trip awhile back. -Worful

PARTYING AT A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL

Who's my favorite pro? The Muska you guess? Close. But no, it's Randy Ploesser. And there was a party to celebrate his new board and pro status this past weekend. Sadly I was home sick. But from the looks of these photo booth pictures Lucy sent me it looks like everyone had a great time. Yeah Dolphin! -Worful

PINK STUFF

Sublette and Mango, making music? Okaaaaay! -Worful

SAM MCGUIRE FRESH CROPS

There are some nice photos by Sam McGuire on The Skateboard Mag site, including this one of Randy's huge wallie in KC. -Worful

FRIENDSHIP WORSHIP

Oh lordy, this looks interesting. -Worful

FEATS OF STRENGTH

This past Friday I skated late into the night with Bobby and Gabe downtown, very fun. Although I felt like an out of shape zombie the rest of the weekend. Anyway it was worth it, thanks for filming us Gabe! Meanwhile I did make it out of the house again briefly to witness various feats of strength, including a no comply over the chain at the stadium ledges. I'd always wondered if that was possible. So sick! -Worful

RANDY'S FIRST BOARD

Randy's First Board from D.C. Uthus on Vimeo.

This is amazing. Congratulations again Randy, we love you! And nice work as always Mr. Uthus. Now everyone go buy one! -Worful

GAME LIFE

I stopped by Bobby's last night to drop off a board and this is what I found. Bob frolicking in the woods looking for who knows what. -Worful

ADDICTED

Is Joel obsessed with Breaking Bad? Or is his skating so gnarly and combustable lately that he has to take special precautions when he skates now? -Worful

HELP SENT

Randy's Send Help teammates and all around ripping dudes Preston Harper and Justin Modica were in town the other day. I met up with them and some other homies at Shepard. A chilly day at Shepard, fun! No it was fun actually, but I don't know how people can skate that spot so well. For example, Preston and Chris. Meanwhile Kyle was in town! And Derek got a new sponsor! Also I got to see Randy skating his new board! AAAGGGHHH! Mind melter for sure, so stoked. -Worful

FINALLY!!!

According to the internet it appears that Randy's first board has finally arrived. Stop by Infinity to pick one up. Congratulations Randy, very well deserved and about damn time! -Worful

TURTLE POWER

What's that everyone's looking at? Oh it's just Gabe getting his board back from the sewer. Things are getting INTERESTING. -Worful

SEND UTHUS

I heard David's working on a new project with Send Help! -Worful

ARI/NYC/DGAF

I was in NYC recently and had the pleasure of hanging out with Ari. We didn't have time to skate really, unless by "skate" you mean we had lunch in the park and talked about girls. But he was nice enough to skate with me down the street so I could hail a cab to the airport. He also kept me company in said cab. What a nice dude. Super good to see you Ari! Good luck in NYC. -Worful

Editor's note: That's a nollie heelflip on the right. And yes it was a make, first try.

STEVE PURDUE THROWAWAY

Here's a video and a little interview that Toebock recently published of Steve Purdue.  There are a couple clips in the video from when he came through St. Louis floating around in there that I'm guessing Steve decided wouldn't make the cut for his upcoming Toebock part.  Now I'm all for having high standards, but this throwaway footage walks a fine line between that and truly part-worthy material.  I really can't wait to see what he considers his best!

MORE VANS DEMO COVERAGE

Here's a great video from Vans of their demo here last week, and here's the photos they took there too. -Worful

KYLE'S NEW INTERVIEW

Kyle has an new interview that I forgot to post, check it out! -Worful
