Wellborn Clothing / Uprise Skateshop: ASM Skate Jam...

So, Uprise Skateshop, Wellborn Clothing, Character Skateboards, and, of course, our friend Junebug and his program After School Matters are having a skate jam tomorrow, THIS FRIDAY, August 3rd, 2012 from 1pm - 6pm.
I'm KNDA sad that I have to work until 7pm, so I'll be missing the whole thing. Maybe a few heads will still be rolling by the time I cruz by on mai way home.

It's located in the back of Roberto Clemente High School at the corners of Division & Western in Chicago.
Lots of open space, ledges, and stairs.

Shawn Turner: Dream On...

So, I think a few of you may already know this guy...
He rides for Wellborn Clothing, Lakai Limited Footwear, and Character Skateboards.
Enjoy.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Venus" by CHP from the "Solar System" compilation released in 2012 on Mind Experience Records.

Uprise Skateshop: sUprise - Skateboarding In The Streets vol.1...

Suprise (Skateboarding in the streets Vol.1) from Uprise on Vimeo.

So, here's an old video that Uprise skateshop put out in like 2001/02ish, IDK all I know is that it was before 2003 because there is no Wilson footage and everyone is wearing baggy cargo pants and (at times) soem god-awful huge shoes. {oh skateboard trends} I guess it's better than soem ball-high Skate Rags that were popular in the early 80's.

Marfa from Wellborn Clothing has a part in this video skating to soem Chicago punkers, Pegboy @ 11:06. ("finger to fakie" photo: Chris Anderson)

Ryan Walters skates so fast in real life, and the Ollie footplant kickflip, I can only imagine, was done hauling balls @ 14:43.

Stu Jacobs does a nice Cab over a pyramid hip to Mötley Crüe @4:18.

Jackson Hennessey is a just a lil short-haired boy in here, and now he's a grown-ass married man with a kid, long hair, and still ripping when the board is under his feet.

Also, there is a teeny weeny Neen(y) Williams skating under his given name, Eugene.

If I remember correct, they cut Jesse Neuhaus' part out of the video at the last second for soem reason. I think it was because Jesse had a friend of his film his clips, and not the Uprise filmer.
I guess it was in the video at the premiere, but not on the final release.

Instagram: Slappy 3...

Original screen grab from iPhone4 video

Artsy Instagram manipuation

So, this is the 3rd and final slappy that I captured on video using mai white, non S, iPhone4.

It was a magical dei of bringing a dilapidated, neglected, crusty yellow curb back to life without the aid of petroleum based byproducts. Just the right speed, the right lean, and the right trucks.

Instagram: Slappy 2...

Original screen grab from the video

Artsy Instagram manipulation

So, here's the 2nd of three slappies that I got video of last Sundei, the 25th of March.

Artsy Instagram closeup 

So, last sunday, March 25th, 2012 I was supposed to meet up to skate with Marfa from Wellborn Clothing and some other random dewdz. They were waiting around for one moar guy to show up so I decided to park, go on a the hunt for a virgin slappy curb, and wait for them.
I had no wax, no broom, and only the loose Indys that god [Fausto] intended for just such an adventure.
These are mai pictures of that adventure...

Descendents - Clean Sheets (butchered)

So, here's me playing the song "Clean Sheets" by the Descendents back in October 2010.

Me playing "Clean Sheets" by Descendents.
I'm getting back into playing guitar, so pardon the butchering.
For documentary purposes only, and a personal thank you to the band for putting out such good music over the years.

Wellborn Clothing: Shawn Turner & Joey Adamczyk @ Asylum...

Instagram: Joey Adamczyk...

Original slow shutter iPhone4 pic.

Artsy Instagram filtered pic.

So, this is mai friend Joey, he hurt his foot 7 months ago and hasn't skated the whole time. Okay, maybe twice, but that was just to roll around to get rid of the withdrawal symptoms.

Skateboarding is like a drug in that sense.

He's just been playing a lot moar guitar, working to keep occupied, and fill the no skate void.

We planned this big group to go to Cream City todei to, kind of, celebrate his return to skateboarding.

Wouldn't you do the same for you friend?

Welcome Back, Joey.

Joey rides for Character Skateboards and Wellborn Clothing.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "20 Eyes" by Misfits from the album "Walk Among Us" released in 1982. 

Beanies Are In via Wellborn Clothing...

So, here's an artistic lifestyle shot of mai beanie that I got from Wellborn Clothing...

New line of beanies are now on sale online...

Wellborn Clothing: Brett Weinstein...

My First iMovie....

So, here's mai first iMovie, and moar importantly mai first video that I've ever made, EWER!

It's made using random video clips from mai iPhone4.

Now, seeing as I just got the phone at the end of August, I didn't realize that I had to rotate it when taking vids so it would be formatted to fit on a screen.

That's why it is so vertical with two huge black bars on either side. Sorry, n00b alert!

You may see Wellborn Clothing rider Shawn Turner with a cameo fakie wallride to regs, mai friend [Still Skatin'] Kevin with a mallgrab and soem bonelesses (sp?), random clips from North Coast Music Festival (NCMF), and, of course, me with the 360 slide, 360 shuv and soem slappies.
The track I used is "Consequently" by a band called Agitpop who put out "Stick It!" in 1989 on Twin Tone records.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Dead Tide" by Arch Rival from the compilation "Masters of Electronic Dance Music: 69 Rave Dance Hits" released in 2011.

I got this album off of iTunes for $9.99 - and yes, it does contain 69 tracks. That's arond 14¢/track.

It contains Psy-Trance, DarkPsy, Dubstep, Electro, Tech House, and Progressive Trance.

Even if you don't like some tracks it's still cheaper than buying ten tracks separately.

Trippin'...

Shawn Turner #7: New Era Originator...

So, here's a short video clip of Wellborn Clothing & Character Skateboards team rider Shawn Turner @ the Zumiez Couch Tour 2011 in Aurora, IL.
He won the New Era Originator of the Day award.


As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Energy" by Youth Gone Mad from the compilation "Nothing To Believe In!" released in 1995 on Know Records.

Skate Healthy...

So, it's key to stay healthy when you skate, natural stamina from fruit (pineapple) and water rather than dehydrating synthetics like energy drinx and oatmeal cream pies.
