Finger Skateboarding

Not too long ago, my mom thought she was being cute and sent me the anti-tech deck in the mail. I happened to be reading the back, and became intrigued by the 'tail grind'. Click the image below:
tail grind

Aside from the gnarly act of sink blazing, I'm assuming a tail grind would be the act of stopping. Or perhaps theyre ahead of the curve and it's some new smith flip out type of fad. I just dont see why you would need to 'stop' a tech deck, since according to them youre supposed to hold it pinched between your fingers. Why not just lift your hand. They also reference another interesting trick, the stand-off, as seen right next to the confusingly illustrated hands in the wallride photo:

Whatever that is. Notice the stubby mini-fingers on the wallride. And since I'm still waiting for a decent idea to hit me for a legit update, contemplate this odd little saying from what I'm guessing is an overly-horny psychology author that I noticed in one my textbooks:

somebody's sense of humor sucks worse than mine.

check back early next week for some anti-gravity leftovers, and hopefully some kind of street throwaway segment.

Anti-Slackity



Been skating Anti-Gravity alot, skated and filmed with some chill guys and the tried and true Culpeper clan. Don't hate because its not 100% 540.

Slackin'

Not for much longer. A montage was planned for the past weekend but three sessions at anti-gravity grew into six and supposedly a seventh tomorrow. So look for that clip soon, it's already started just awaiting the last bit of footage.

Also, due to the weather outdoor filming has been basically dead, as soon as its warmer outside again we'll be able to start deciding on a date to finish up Rough filming and start organizing that premiere.

Finally, congratulations to Jesse Clare for picking up a shop sponsor in the form of 4 Down Skate Shop. About time someone gave that boy some official support. Be watching for his welcome video soon.

Another round of Rough throwaway



Enjoy the steaming helpings of throwaway. While working on this little extravaganza I realized there's even more throwaway than I thought. Part two sometime soon?

A Winter Park Endeavor.....



Not much throwaway has been coming out of the Pep since the weather has been so trife, so a park montage from the 757 is what you get instead. New faces for this site, but faces you'll be seeing again.

Stuff you need to know...

After two days of work the small side of the park and the mini ramp have been shoveled. There are paths from the road, cause the paths going around the park are still covered. The paths from the road are located at the green street sign for the small side and the one for the mini is pretty much in the middle of the ramp. Should be dry tomorrow , might wanna bring a towell, and an extra pair of shoes haha.

http://getcultural.blogspot.com/ is a blog out of Fredericksburg that I like to look at. They got a sick little montage up that you should check out while you're trapped indoors.

Thanks to everyone that helped shovel.

Last Unedited Vault Clip

Mr. Blake Scott once again. this is from early fall 2007. Note the bleachers. Who doesn't miss those damn things?



Also due to some stuff that's come up, the montage I had planned has got to be put off once more. I apologize. We apologize. It WILL be up as soon as there is time to make it.

In the meantime, watch Cory Kennedy blank Torey Pudwill in the Berrics runner-up game after you watch Blake's clip, and talk amongst your friends about whether that was a cheap way to win or not.
