7 years? REALLY?!
When you look at the old photos and videos you can actually see people growing up over the years. It’s a rad feeling to know we’ve been a part of some lives for that long . . . or it makes us feel old.

the saugy s.k.a.t.e. showdown: playing catch up

Right off the bat I have to apologize to the homies who played in the 1st Round and their matches did not go up. I’ve been having problems with my VX2000 and a lot of the matches have been too glitched out to use. I guess that’s what I get for using it [...]

There’s always so much going on on Halloween Weekend and we wanted to be sure everyone could make it especially the homies from 5BORO. It’s been a while since they came into town as a crew and they’ve been such a big part of the Homebase [...]
the saugy s.k.a.t.e. showdown 3: it’s time to finish this.

Let’s move past the reasons why I HAVE PERSONALLY slacked on keeping the Monday Night Saugy Sessions and The Saugy S.K.A.T.E. Showdown properly running this Fall. Maybe it was all the rain, maybe it was leaving for Europe, maybe it was all the other events we had going on . . . . The point [...]
monday night saugy session continues . . . ?

If Hurricane Irene has left our shores then we’ll HOPEFULLY be able to catch up on the Monday Night Saugy Sessions this Monday night.

August 29th: Aaron Haas [...]
monday night saugy session today . . . weather permitting

Depending on the weather we’re hoping to hold today’s Monday Night Saugy Session at Keck Park at 5pm.
I apologize that Week 8’s Saugy S.K.A.T.E. Showdown matches aren’t up yet. The video was so glitched out that I’m trying to piece together something that’s watchable still.
This week’s Saugy S.K.A.T.E. Showdown take us into the 2nd round [...]
monday night saugy session re-cap: week 7

Let me preface this post by saying thank you to Billy Kurtz.
Billy holds it down hard at the shop every week. From gripping your boards to running up and down for shoes to make sure you’re laced up right. Billy is also like me- not the greatest skaters in the 610 but we both love [...]
while you were sleeping: go skateboarding day 2011

Go Skateboarding Day 2011 in Bethlehem went a little something like this. . .
Get to the plaza early and skateboard.
Hold some early contests and give away free stuff.
Run from the rain.
Watch the skateplaza dry.
Skateboard more.
Hold more contests and give away more free stuff.
Go Skateboarding Day 2011.
Regardless of the weather, it felt like I hosted [...]
today’s saugy session moved to go skateboarding day

Just another reminder that today’s Monday Night Saugy Session is being moved to tomorrow for Go Skateboarding Day at the Bethlehem Skateplaza.
We’ll be at the skateplaza all day celebrating our national holiday- which is kind of weird to me but hey, why fight it. Most of us don’t need a holiday to spend the whole [...]

Things got a little hectic during the week leading up to the 9-Year Anniversary weekend and then we were playing a lot of catch afterward so I’m just getting to posting these matches up.

Spring is in full swing and so are the Monday Night Saugy Sessions. If you’re like me then you missed the first session we had on April 11th. I was in NYC visiting brands and getting sponsors for the Saugy Sessions . . . what’s your excuse?
Thankfully I have a solid squad that holds down [...]
