gettin’ it in at the skateplaza
Seeing as I’m being a total slacker on getting the footage from the Bethlehem Skateplaza opening up- here’s all the clips I found on YouTube.
It’s good seeing everyone learning new tricks and progressing. Homebase manager, Josh Novak has been on the injured list for a while so it was so inspiring seeing him snap these [...]
procrastinate now: vamdalism
When Plan B Skateboards was brought back to life I was definitely “questionable.“ Get it?
The team was made up of some of the best skaters to ever set foot on a skateboard but it just seemed to lack the heart and originality the original line up had.

saugy s.k.a.t.e. showdown II: week 1 & go skateboarding day
The first 4 rounds of the Saugy S.K.A.T.E. Showdown II fell on good ol’ National Go Skateboarding Day. Whether or not Keck was packed because of the Monday Night Session, the “holiday” or just because it was officially Summertime. . . . who knows? Who cares- it was a damn god time.
No photos from this [...]

Ocean Howell, 540 kickflip, 1992… what were you doing then?
The youngin’s in the 610 are coming up quick and with [...]
dirty days in jersey
I’m down for Jersey. I got homies out there. Plus, there are good skate spots to be found- even if they are empty building foundations.
Last Saturday Ray, Colbert, Hill and I went to skate the abandoned foundation spot in Jersey City. A while back the locals but marble on the cinder block boxes there and [...]
procrastinate now: that’s what friends are for
It’s good to have homies that are much wiser than you.
For example I locked my keys in the car while they were attached to my hip. How that happens- I don’t know. Some days luck just isn’t on my side.
nyc weekend part 2: nike sb x (red) “all tied together”
I stayed in town on Monday to try and get some skateboarding in and check out a Mets game with Danny Pensyl but I got wrangled into something else all together.
“All Tied Together” that is and I got in a lot more skating (actually pushing) than I bargained for . . . but it was [...]

If a picture is worth a thousand words then you’re really going to get the gist of what you may have missed if you went to the Jersey Shore on Memorial Day Weekend after watching this video of the Red Bull Manny Mania contest and our 8th Anniversary celebration.
We hadn’t thrown a big anniversary celebration [...]
playing catch up: mayfair 2010
Now that our 8th Anniversary party is done ( yes, I’m sad too) I can turn my attention to some other events that also happened this past weekend- Mayfair for example. . .
the thursday drop: roger skateboards
Roger Skateboards is the brain child of Michael Sieben and Stacy Lowery. Some of the older heads and the nerds out there will remember Stacy from Powell skateboards as well as Santa Cruz. You might unknowingly be a Sieben fan from Thrasher Mag. Remember the article about tattoo flash? Or you might remember both of [...]

cross blog: kurtz & wooler weekend
This past First Friday we debuted the Andrew Kurtz & Jeff Wooler’s L.V.A.N. Art Show at Homebase to a packed house of both “Hipsters & Hillbillies” from all over the Valley and beyond. Most likely the reason they named their show that.
I stole these photos from the following blogs: Lazy Hairy Boy, JaguarNoNo, Kuato Lives [...]

Mother’s Day, rainbows and skateboarding.

while you were sleeping, we were raging: skate rock tour invades 610
I wasn’t there so I won’t even try to explain the night. But to me, this picture of Tony Trujillo airing out to frontside wallride at our ramp does the job.
An EPIC night for the 610 skaters who made it out. See more now. . .

It’s hot, it looks like its about to rain- why not just sit inside somewhere air conditioned and watch skate videos. . . .
I’m sure most of you have seen this clip but just in case you’ve been under a rock- or actually skating in the real world WATCH WES KREMER KILL IT. . .

Another Spring On 4th comes and goes but it will be forever remembered in our hearts and minds . . . and blogs.
