Vidiot pt.3 Chicago, 1997...

So, here's an old vid from 1997 of soem Chicago heads that are still pretty much in the game, if not running things in the city now, aka Uprise skateshop.
There is also soem footage from a small BBQ / tour stop for soem skate team that I remember going to at the Oscar Meyer school. It was around the 4th of July and I remember going with James Wilscke.

I forget waht team, but Dune and a Cardona (either Mike r.i.p. or Quim) where there. I do know that I still have soem photos from that dei, they aren't that great because the only camera that I had with me in the car was a "Sure Shot."
If you would like to see the pics, please leave a comment, and I will try to scan a few for a future post.

Karma/Absorb 35 from Dave Ackels on Vimeo.
Karma Tsocheff and friends!

So, here's another installment in the Absorb series by Ohio Dave. This one is a small montage video for Karma Skateboards.

Here's a small bio on Karma [the guy] from their Facebook page: "Owner Karma Tsocheff's early days were spent skating the streets and backyard pools of Visalia, CA. He turned pro for Dogtown when he was 17 years old and hasn't looked back since. After Dogtown, and an epic video with John Cardiel & Wade Speyer( that people still talk about), Karma rode for SMA with Alan Petersen.. and from there he helped start Consolidated Skateboards, with whom he will always be a part of...."

The Polar Skate Co. Promo...

So, I just saw this on the Facebook page of Concrete Wave Skateshop, they're located / based in Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
Their contact email is info@concretewave.de 
and phone +49 0492213974669
The video is all in B&W, has just the right amount of artsyness without taking your stoke away from the skating, which, by the way is soem of the most  bestest skateboarding I've seen in soem time. So fast, real street spots, core street ethics, DIY ideals, and a love like no other.

These dewdz skate so friggin fast on soemof the gnarliest terrain. I may not know a lick of waht they're saying, but you don't need to.
That's one of the great things about skateboarding, it's like music. (and math)

Can I just say that the opening line, as well as others, from [waht's his name] is lightning quick with the musical selections to match perfectly. (except the rap track) <----- that's just me, though.
Joy Division, Devo, etc...

Nanoparticles In Food, Vitamins Could Harm Human Health...

So, this is an interesting article about how Nanoparticles in food, vitamins could harm human health.
Nothing better than a few lax'd FDA guidelines to give me more styrene for breakfast and block my iron intake therefore making me anemic therefore making me spend more money on pharmecuticals.

Lakai Footwear: Riley Hawk...

So, here's a vid of Tony's son, Riley Hawk, just absolutely fukkin killing it!!!

You can do all the manuals you want, but can you skate like this?

Neil Blender...

So, here's a rad video of one of the most influential skateboarders of mai generation, Neil Blender.
This ramp actually looks pretty sick, look at all those different extensions. Literally fun for everyone.
No moar words.
This video was Uploaded by ThrasherMagazine on Jun 22, 2010 to YouTube.
"Neil Blender is one of the true originals in skating. He invented the gay twist, Donner Party, and numerous others, and was always speaking in circles. "

You Ever Do Hand Plants...?

You ever do hand plants? from Dave Ackels on Vimeo.

So, I first met dave around 1993 in beautiful St. Charles, IL 60174 at this really kewl, trendy coffeehouse, Coffeehouse Ghiberti.
Back then we just called him Ohio Dave, and he filmed my friend Sam skating all the time, even made him a short skate video with a Dinosaur jr. song.

It wasn't until recently last year, while looking at my friend Jay's FB page looking at his friends, that I saw the name Dave Ackels. Now Jay being from Ohio, I sent a message to Dave and kindly asked if he'd ever done time in STC, and did he ever go by "Ohio Dave."
The answer was yes, and he [sort of] remembered me.
Skateboarding is a small world.

So, here's a party prank that's fun for everyone, and also harmless... The Nebo.

Here's my shoes I wear at work, I stand them up when I leave.
One dei I noticed that I was giving maiself Nebos.
Moar like n00bo.

Rachel Reinhard...

So, this chick is pretty good.

One of the best things in this video is that she doesn't push Mongo when skating swinch, and that Back Disaster as her ender is pretty dang dope!!!

Waht is it with chick skaters and "the butt?"

Is it a center of gravity thing?

Why do most of them stick it out?

At any rate, I hope she keeps it up, loosens those trucks, and keeps PWNing.

The album "Tattooed Beat Messiah" has to be the pinnacle of the genre.

Just because I like the music so much, doesn't mean that I live the music.

Van Wastell Podcast...

So, I never really knew much about this dewd until he died. There were a few years that I never paid attention to skate magazines or videos, guess I missed out on this dewd in the process.

Bugs Bunny: All This and Rabbit Stew...

So, this is just one of the many Bugs Bunny cartoons that I grew up watching as a kid.

I still think it's funny, you just have to look beyond any suggestions.
As a kid, I didn't know anything about racism, I just saw it as a lonely, down-on-his-luck hunter just trying to hunt & find a rabbit to feed himself, and quite possibly his family. All the while making him run around in circles w/hilarity and hijinks throughout. 

Whether the characters are lazy blacks, white bumbling oafs, or slant eyed AZNs leave it to Bugs to make a fool of them all equally, and that's really waht the stories are all about.
Hey, he even did the saem things to Daffy.

Li li li li li lighten up folks...
