Online Video Part 2

Well its here! The Online Video Pt. 2 is up and ready for your viewing pleasure.

Just as a disclaimer, this is all the footage that wasn't good enough for Southern Motion (aside from a few clips I tossed in that were actually in the video) so its not the best of what we have to offer here but still, for throwback, my dudes are still sick.

But without further a due, here's part 2 to the online video enjoy!

135: Adventures in Distant Lands

Wow, the past week has just been so crazy so I won't waste time with an introduction and just get rightt into it.

At some point in the beginning of the week, maybe like the 13th, when I got off work I met with my lady and our friend/bad ass photographer Ryan Crawford at his place for brews and to check out his projector/50 million slides his grandmother had just given him.

It originally started as a us just tracing the outlines of these slides and having some drunken fun but slowly turned into us sperlunking into his junk room with masses of electronics and God knows whatelse. Having that said, I'd like to introduce a new section to the blog called Shit I've found in Ryan's house:

After we had our fun there we went about our ways and got ready for the week to come.

On Thursday Ollie and Jeremy organized an impromptu blade session at the new Hendersonville Park and rolling about 10 it was a really awesome time and I highly reccommend taking the trip.
Check out the jams:

Homie Jams:

Tucker boosted this pretty sweet fakie 3:

Romar with the patented Unity steez:

Dustin Hinson with the airs:

And Thomas laced this pretty awesome Vertical Top Soul Stall:

The following Friday, I took my girlfriend down to Charleston to give her a certain circular object (not phallic) and to just chill out and spend some time together, we stayed at the Not so Hostel on Spring Street and I have to say that place was cheap and awesome. If you're ever in Chucktown and need a place to crash, check that place out, its dirt cheap, and ridiculously awesome.

And after a chill session with the homies at the Spartanburg park yesterday, that about wrapped up my weekend. So now back to the crazy work reality until next week.

Blading next weekend!

Blade Days

Man, what a fun weekend, full of blading and hanging with the lady.

On Saturday myself and the lady went and shredded some park for a couple hours until we met up with homie Jeff Gonzalez. After a few spots fell thru, we found ourselves at this drop rail and copped this royale flick:

And this chick showed up :)

And that pretty much concluded Saturday.

Sunday, on the other hand, was an 8 hour blade day and I had so much fun all day. I did more skating than I've done in a really long time and it felt great. The best spot of the day was definitely this perfect bank to ledge we found a while back that we just failed to skate for some reason:

The dude bros chillin' at the spot:

Tucker laced a pretty clean topsoul even with that broken wrist:

And Jeff laced this really clean Top Mistrial, my man has the swagger:

And after all that was said and done, Johnny Ray, Adam Mcmanus and I all had a late night shred session at a really sweet/chill ledge spot and I got this flick of Johnny Ray lacing as per usual:

Nothing crazy, but alot of fun...and that basically concluded my weekend!

We kicked around the idea of a late night session edit there with the three of us (and possibly Tim), so that may or may not pop up sometime.

The online video is more organized than it has been in the past and is all together on a timeline and should be done as soon as I have some spare time so as always, stay tuned.

I might not update next weekend because I'm going out of town with the lady for a few days, but I might also get done with the online edit this week too so....LOOK OUT NOW!
