Weather:
Today it seems a little bit warmer but its still raining and I’m certain there’ll be snow soon.

There was no Halloween Ramp Jammy Jam but there was still some festiveness.

Tarzan's not joking

2 days later it was Juan’s birthday.

We had to recreate the pivotal candle moment for posterity.

It was also Lou’s birthday but he was getting the vert ramp ready.

I saw this spot and so we went and skated for about ten minutes before it started raining. I managed to get a few pics of Mark’s front 50s.

Mark - the sign spot

This spot is super secret so don’t tell anyone. Actually I don’t even know if it’s there any more.

Wilson? Of course. Steven had to do this a hundred thousand times because I kept shooting him half out of frame.

Nick Peterson has some art work you need to go see. More on that later, for now enjoy these front nose.

We also went down to my favorite place so I could try and film a line and win skateboarding.

Fulton Markets

Unfortunately there was a truck parked where I needed to go so I didn’t win but I’ll be back before the year is over. Then it was back to the red curb.

Spencer - red curb slappy

Doct…I mean Radical Tom relearned slappies and took this one to back smith.

I have some Spencer trick tips I need to put together and some better photos I’m using for a different project and a good amount of other footage. I really need to get some editing done. I love this picture.

Other skateboarding things to enjoy:
Wilson People – Mark’s Wilson edit. Please take a moment and enjoy that and then take another moment and get depressed cause it’ll be a while before you’ll skate there.

Dr Tae’s newest – Never Going Pro issue 7.

You can enjoy more of Dr Tae’s balancing in this long player.

You can also enjoy more miniramping from the Wilson Warriors.

Finally Scott put together this film yourself masterpiece. It looks like it was a good day.

This also happened.

Last Saturday was the opening for Anna Campbell’s “Getting Strong Now” at the Second Bedroom Project Space and Chris was nice enough to allow me to put something together for the Medicine Cabinet. So we ventured down to Bridgeport.
