Later days, 2010

As we say lates to the decade, we've got a pic of Chad celebrating his birthday in ND, a Concrete Bomber looking for a home at Baltimore's Vu Skate and Gabe wondering when he'll skate again in NYC. Things change but they're always the same. Certainly the last decade was a wild one. We're looking forward to 2011.

Tuesday?

Is it Tuesday? I'm in a holidaze but sun is shining and I'm psyched that I can ride a skateboard. Here some footage from Harmony Bearings team rider Jeremy Alvarez. Have a great day.

Daylight Savings Ends

Astoria Queens New York

Hola patinetos. My recent Astoria skate plaza session was a pleasant one. This park is a mellow setup and provides you with all the essentials of a healthy whole grain line-up of challenging obstacles. Be sure to eat a wholesome meal before you approach this park because you are going to need the extra nutrients and stamina in order to get a full ride. The channel bulge in the heart of the park is probably my favorite obstacle because it allows me to escape the laws of gravity for about 2.5 seconds. I would have to say the whole park has a great flow and makes sense as far as the layout goes. Good work Steve from 5Boro and the New York City Parks and Recreation Department. Stay tuned for more episodes from the NYC skate scene. gm

Sunday Soul

Jazz may be the only art form that was created in the U.S. John Coltrane is regarded a musical genius who took the art to a new level. His work is studied by many for his innovation and interpretation. Here Coltrane and his band perform a classic from the Sound of Music. Enjoy your day.

Full Pipes

Here's Nick getting some at a famous Oklahoma spot. So I guess these things were brought here to build a nuclear power plant that never got built. They are too heavy to move so here they will stay. Frontside carve over the circle.

Tony Karr and Stereo Office Party

Tony met up with some of the Stereo crew for a mini sesh. Looks like a good time.

End of the line

I am an organ donor and if I die and my organs/tissues can be recovered up to eight people who need them can receive them. I like the idea that it could be the last thing I can give or do. Someone has to recover the organs and tissues. Todd is one of those people and he does it almost every day. Whoa. If you want to find out more about organ donation. Click here.

Bachelor/Sausage Party

Randy's getting hitched and we had to send him off in style. The homies gathered for an adventure to the shooting range, bier hall and gentleman's club. Shooting was exhilarating for the new school and reassuring for the old, rattlesnake and rabbit sausage with Belgian fries were off the chain and the "gentleman's club" was ghetto and live. I think all agreed that it was great night.

Sunday Soul - Tribe Called Quest

This is how it was for a sec. Hip hop was still on the fringe and not yet mainstream. No one was really rapping about making tons of money yet. It was just about beats and flow and it was ill. Have a great day.

Farley's Summer

This is my first blog entry of many so why not start off by writing about my skate camp experience for the summer.the first night there i slept on the top deck of the mega mini ramp and was awoke by a bear snarlin on his way up to the dining hall's dumpster for some midnite munchies. he passed by me not even 15 ft away.after that I was too paranoid to sleep. not because I was afraid or anything just cuz I never seen an animal/beast that big not behind bars..so that was my last nite sleeping outside. I had good times chillin and skatin with Ray Barbee, meeting some of Element's Canadian flow riders(brandon, bobby) and their filmer(jordan) - tiiite crew, gettin footy, no phone, kids gettin hyped on skating, campfires and just enjoying nature and skating all in the same place. more to come. stay tuned to the blog. yaboy.
