Machine Gun Funk

So Battle at the Berrics 2 is coming up. Have you made your picks for who you want to be in the battle? I did:



As many of you know, Billy Rohan threw another King of Spring event last weekend, but this time it was uptown. He even did a course preview prior. You can find photo recaps here and here and some video via Steve Marino on his site Square Films here, hosted by Rodney Torres (the video, not the event).

As I have mentioned before...working on an all barriers clip, in homage to the Barrier Kult. Just added some much needed bondo to the Greenpoint Barrier the other day...





I'm going to try to session it a bit today...hopefully I can get some fools to come out and skate it with me. Taji might.

So I just saw the new Corey Duffel part that Strange Notes posted. It is pretty sick, style aside. I am a bit bummed, however. At 1:34, he blunt fakies the Korean War Memorial in Tallahassee. I did that 3 years ago and haven't use the footage yet...


My homie Sam sent me this...


I'll leave you with this photo of Kocik frozen mid-bath. She is a curious one.

A quickie

Have you seen the Hi Fi "Full Frequency Promo?" Ben Gore has a dope part and Jack Sabback kills it at the end. Oh yeah, and Supa switch ollies that gap from the basketball courts to the sidewalk over the gate near the Chinatown Manny!

Also, any NYer with cable knows about NY1 and how they choose an NYer of the Week every week this. Up this week: Billy Rohan. Oh yeah, and Dave Carnie has a new website. Oh, you didn't know Dave Carnie was a photographer (in addition to being the best writer in skateboarding)? Sucks for you...

That's all I have for now.

Just posted, but...

Taji just showed me this clip of him, Charles Lamb, and Billy Rohan from the Acapulco Gold/Instant Winner trip to Europe from this past summer. Check it!




Oh yeah, and Black Dave got a Check Out on the Transworld site.

So Camille and I are flying out to Portland tonight, where we will then make our way to SF in a few days. I am psyched to be going back and psyched to take Camille there for here first visit. I can't quite put my finger on what it is that I like so much about Portland, but anyone that I know who has visited it feel about the same. Perhaps it is the aesthetic or the ambience? The skating is great, but it is more than that. I will try to post from the road, but I think Leonard is going to step up to do some updating too (today even).


I saw this posted on Quartersnacks. Billy is hilarious and I am stoked on him doing that. I mean dogs really do not have any comments on how they will take care of their sons. It is true.


Well, I rough edited the Halloween footage from last week, but we are still planning something for the 25th to get more footage, so if you want in on t he action...look out for the update. The plan is to have something completed by 10/31.

Well, I will go out from here since Leonard is going to post and my time is limited. Here are some photos:









Oh yeah, watch this video and love America...
