Sweating Buckets...

I definitely have a pretty sick job. Laid back, no dress code, cool co-workers who pass around movies and music like crazy and I get to do something I actually like. Plus vacation days are nice. I busted out @ 12:30 today and met Rob, Trevino & Hebert up @ wedgeledge®. DAMN! It was hot! Got some lines and what not and had some fun. Zuppke & Charlie showed up after a bit and Zuppke got a line as well. I climbed onto what was basically a hot tin roof to get the birds eye view. Whatever it takes to make it happen. Skateboarding rules.

Kicked out by the President

Does Bush have to fuck everything up?! Well, his Secret Service henchmen busted up our session at the wedgeledge®. I guess our assface Commander and Chief had a fundraiser in Livonia today. We just pulled up to the spot and a dude rolls up in an unmarked car, dark shades, the whole bit. He says they are doing a "security check" on the property and we had to leave. Then two other sketchballs rolled through looking all CIA taking photos. They denied being the security dudes, but they def. were.

At the time, we had no idea that Bush was in town so it just seemed weird. So we rolled to the 2 stair ledge spot and the freeway was closed. It wasn't till the gas station attendant told us about the fundraiser that we put the pieces together. Crazy.

Yeah, i've been kicked out by lots of people before, cops, security guards, property owners, random do-gooders, but never Secret Service. First time for everything.

Oh yeah, we ended up sessioning the 2 stair till the rains came and Hendy, PG, Bobby, and Hebert all rolled away with some SICK stuff. We can't be stopped!!!

Go Skateboarding Day...

Went out and shredded with Rob, Charlie & Geoff @ the bank to ledge spot. So fun. Hope everyone got out and shredded yesterday. Although, today is go skateboarding day and so is tomorrow and the day after that and the next day and...well, you get the idea.


Is Charlie working on a full part for Skateboarding Rules? Sure seems like it the way he keeps amassing footage.

You Know It's Hot When...

You're driving home from the session @ 11:30pm and still sweating your ass off. With both windows down even! Met up with Rob, Hendy & Alex in Troy last night and got some clips for the video. Hendy and Alex both killed it. Peep the photos.

Here's a hint as to where we were.
