i get a call monday at 12:45pm from schmitty who is on the thrasher / altamont skaterock tour asking me to pull a last minute show for THE GOAT and BAD SHIT in Allentown or Bethlehem on a day off after the Philly show the night before. i was not going to let this one slip by so i had my band , BAD AMERICAN open up the show.

this is my band , BAD AMERICAN. photo: zahradnik ( Jake and Spanky right up front)

i left a message on his phone 3 weeks ago and never heard back. i started texting him on Saturday and they said it would be a no go. a few days later, they changed their mind and changed most of these kids lives at the Homebase Warehouse. donations only for gas. super last minute. it was a word of mouth and text thing. full house and complete insanity. skating in the other room. bands rocking out .all put together in just 7 hrs.

a true meaning of the phrase , skaterock tour.

chris berner and andy po/ owner of HOMEBASE SKATESHOP cruise Southside, bethlehem over the weekend.

andy told me they went everywhere and they did.

skateboarding = skate everything…

thanks Andy for hooking up the clip.

is it magic? nah, is it  fucking mythical ?

the trailer is always here.

i thought, why don’t we try to hit it up today since we have been back here for over 15 times

and there is always a trailer here. today, was rad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

brendan called me last week, said, let’s skate. i was surprised and said let’s go…

a warm up like a dude on a mission and i mentioned we should check this shitty guard rail

spot i been waiting to see more footage done at.

with some brutal attempts, sun shining down,myself behind the lens, brendan came through

like a champ. he said he is not done here.

we will wait for the next rematch…

brendan vs. the guard rail of death

by the way, buy our shit…

If you ever get bummed out this spring, let these pictures remind you about how a session in the northeast can end with a blizzard in a matter of seconds.

Brendan sticks it out with this pre-blizzard ollie.

Before the storm.

brendan came through with another rad shot. so why not run with it. this kid has been hurt a bit lately.

his hand looks like a club and some hick smashed into the back of his car while he was at a light and

then peaced. wowzers!!!!!!!

it is finally nice out and spring is in full effect… 70 degrees today….

get intouch with ordering or demos. we like demos.

the pennskate skatepark demo was pure success  last week and kids got a great amount for the product toss.

i didn’t see one bummed face. which, rules in my book.

have a great EASTER this weekend. i will not be skating for Saturday is a yearly reminder of a really

bad accident i had years ago and have never skated on that day since then. my good luck cat’s i keep

in my pocket will not help me from this bad incident. how many do i carry in my pocket every day?

answer next week with a pic of what junk i need my daily activities.
