February in North Dakota
Don't cry about the weather because you could be living in North Dakota where the winter weather is f-ing awful. When the bad weather breaks, you have to skate. Chad Heller and friends manage to squeeze in some skating on a sunny but cold day in ND. Looks like rain here in So Cal all weekend.

Koki's Skateboard Mag Minute
Here's Koki's Mag Minute from Clair Chang's Toasted 2 video. Koki is an amazing skater who can rip anything. Koki and Clair ride for Harmony Bearings and both of these guys are highly motivated and really good at a lot of different things. If you could place bets on people, I'd bet on these guys.

There is little skating with lots of snow, ice and slush on the ground in NYC. Gabe is lucky enough to get to skate the KCDC mini ramp in Brooklyn. Gabe stays loose and relaxed. I recently saw him fall down in a similar style at a wedding.
