STL Weekend

Last weekend I drove up to St Louis. There was blood, there were tears, and there were sweaty, disgusting farts all lingering in my car.

On my second night in STL we hit up ChrisJack's area, we ended up going to 141, a really good yellow uprail, checked out goonie, and this two up four down spot that ChrisJack got a trick on. Unfortunately Kendal rolled his ankle doing a body flail down the four, putting him out for the day, but I have faith that he'll be back on a board real soon. The following day we went to JB for the Infinity Shop birthday celebration. There was a contest on the double set which was fun to watch. Some little groms freak won it with a hardflip. Later on, a raffle was done, I won ChrisJack an awesome hat, and Kendal and John won free skateboards. Way to be, you raffle winning hooligans!

My capture cam came back today, which means I can capture again. In celebration of this awesome occasion, I've decided to post some of the better clips filmed recently. Enjoy.

Finding ways to pass the time

For now I am out with a rolled ankle, so I made this edit of all of the footage of me that is either too old, not useable, or both. Enjoy.

"Our park rangers

are real pieces of shit" is a conclusion that I came to after not a whole lot of thinking. Last week they shut the skate park down because someone moved a picnic table up by the quarter pipes. First the stupid ass bitch came out and told Alex, Zach and I to stop skating and to move the table; likely because we were the oldest ones there. But that's no reason to blame us. So we didn't, she took down our license plates and we came back later in the day.

Then when we came back, the picnic table had been moved by a bunch of stupid little kids and a male park ranger came out and apparently told everyone to quit skating, but no one did so he called the police. The police officer came and threatened to arrest anyone that wouldn't quit skating and leave. I asked the park ranger what the problem was and he told me to "get the fuck away" from him.

What an embracing scene.

[We never posted anything about this before, so I figured I would go ahead and mention the incident]

A round of applause for...

Tylor Willinghammorz. For being a really really good driver, and for being a really good real good friend in the time of need and desperation. Tyler, you're great. A dear friend to all. The next time you see Tyler, pat him on the back and say something nice to him, compliment him on his shoes or his skating abilities, or at how good he races his silver bullet.
