West Virginia-based skateboarder Blair Burns does a blog where he documents the skateboarding scene in his state.  According to this video, he and his friends recently headed to more Midwesterly landscapes and took an impromptu roadtrip to some outdoor skatepark in the Bluegrass State.  Sleeping in the Dry Ridge bowl?  Just crazy enough to be inspirational.

If yesterday’s sequence of Reid Small wasn’t enough for you, Ballard’s put together a short clip of a couple more tricks from yesterday too.  Reid can skate a mini-ramp.

Back in the game!  Even though I missed last week’s Sunday Sequence, I’m not going to give you 2 to look at this week.  Instead, I’ll give you 1 sequence of a 3 flip.  Reid Small rarely misses a 360 flip, which makes it nice when I think “Oh shit, I need a sequence for today.”  Thanks for not sucking too badly Reid.

Former interviewee Dane Warner and his boy Danny Morton came together in Philly and got rad enough to earn Thrasher’s Stoke of the Day at some point.  Good on ya fellas!

It’s a sad day when another DIY project gets the axe from the city in which it resides.  The most recent renegade park to go down is the famed “Al Town” in Memphis, Tennessee.  There’s a good story about it here.  The bright side is that when one DIY dies, another DIY can be born.

Andy decided to give me the reigns for this weeks Sunday Sequence.  This week we have Case Mahan at a brand new spot.  Continuing in the DIY style Ballard built another spot somewhere in Louisville (your gonna have to ask him where it is).  Case was in town for the day and decided to check it out.  After a couple of warm up ollies Case blasted this pop shuvit.  Pretty proper.

Like we said, things are getting weird as filming for theProgram video ramps up.  Brooks Shuping just moved to town and is out skating to his own beat.

 WHAT WAS HE TRYING?

Dave Ackels is back on the Absorb train again.  He just released number 16 of the series entitled “What Bad Is Gonna Happen?”  Another gem of a video from Southwestern Ohio.

The Void Skateshop in Lexington, KY will be wrapping up filming for their upcoming video “2010: A Void Odyssey” in the coming months.  Meanwhile, they’ve released a short but chilling teaser for the project.  See you at the premiere on September 2.

Nick Jones comes in hot and takes it to fakie for this week’s Sunday Sequence.  If you know Nick, then you know he absolutely kills a mini ramp and not just with the typical mini ramp tricks you tend to see these days.  I think this finger flip to fakie proves that point.
