I’ve been on vacation with no internet connection, so things have been slow. But! Here’s a new sequence for you on this Sunday. Cole Wilson can do just about anything on his skateboard and I’m stoked that I could capture it in a sequence today. Front blunt to shapeshifter.
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!
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?
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.
Don’t let all the media hype and corpo-garbage fool you, every day is Go Skateboarding Day. So, in honor of that very fact, here’s an abbreviated list of some of the things that make me want to go skate every time I see them.

To make up for the slack-fest that has been this website as of a late, I decided to hit you with a double shot on this weekend’s Sunday Sequence.
First up we’ve got Cole Wilson. Shortly after last summer’s Get Buck for Deluxe contest, we were back at Waterfront Park for a reason which I cannot remember. I think Cole got an idea for something at the spot. After confronting the ABD @ Waterfront Park Facebook page, he just decided to ollie the whole damn spot.
Secondly we’ve got Brooks Shuping’s second showing here on the Sunday Sequence. This is probably supposed to be top-secret, but I know that he’s already done like 3 more and better tricks on this spot, so what the hell…I’ll blow this one out. This ledge is called “The Icehouse Ledge” because it sits between an icehouse and a brewery, but you could probably also say that’s it called that because it’s incredibly slick. Either way, Brooks’ front tail bigspin out is cooler than either of those things. Well, except maybe the brewery.
Drew Holnagel comes under fire for this week’s Sunday Sequence. This was his warm-up to taking one of the gnarlier slams I’ve ever witnessed. Luckily for Drew, all his boys from Cincy were in town to properly heckle him for the slam.
Drew Holnagel, switch backside 5-0.
This week’s Sunday Sequence features Paul Zitzer again. We had been eyeing this spot for a long, long time, waiting for the right time to strike. You see, you have to happen across it at the perfect time when there isn’t a car parked in the busy McDonald’s parking lot at the top or the busy apartment complex parking lot at the bottom. On top of that, you have to have your balls in your back pocket that day, because you have to skip a long ollie out in front of you and then get all four wheels down before absorbing the harsh curb at the bottom. If you make it through that, you’ve got to surf out between the two parking blocks which are angled back into you. Paul did this twice for good measure.
