recycle. I think I’m going to start referring to all the footage I post on theBlog as “recycled” instead of throwaway. Seeing as it hasn’t actually been thrown-away; just misplaced, put to the side, or used somewhere else.

Dudes in order from start to finish - Joshua “Baby Pop” Hunts-men, Ben Snawder, Bryan Jones, Lee Hayes, Jeremy Riggs, Scotty Burns, Edward Dearinger and Nick Jones.

this photo is over a year old, methinks.

 it’s a case of “it might get used for something but really it just gets lost in the shuffle.”  a lot of you here in town are now familiar with this gap now that the new HOME video has tons of footage of it.  but, what you might not know is that the spot is a jeremiah stevens original and he’s been skating it for quite a while now.

 360 flip to hill descent.

it’s raining and i’m putting off studying. so you get to see an alternate angle, in which i chopped off dude’s hand. partially.

ricky, or pretty ricky as his myspizzle profile states.
again..not landed this time around. he’s rolled away from it before, but i wasn’t around shooting photos that day unfortunately.
he tried it less than ten times before the woman working inside the gas station called out over the loudspeaker speaker system.

not landed but still rad in its own right.
david and i had to take off but the session was still heating up..
while not being positive that this was eventually landed, i wouldn’t be surprised to hear that it had been.
i left without learning any new names.
i’m sure ricky and mikeneutron know who he is.. one of the columbus IGLU crew dudes?

*note to self: seriously…start writing people’s names down.

half the battle is putting your feet on.  the other half is not getting scorp’d.

gary hall is down at the half.

…involves not skating.  (Can anyone tell me where that quote is from?)

Sometimes skating involves Chinese food and whisky.

And sometimes it involves March Madness and beer.

And sometimes it involves hanging with good friends and family while eating Chinese food, drinking whisky and beer, and watching March Madness.

 But when your team loses, March Madness becomes a little boring and you’ve gotta do something to spice up the night.  Taco Bell is an option, though not one I’d recommend.  I recommend gambling.

Triple situations.  Some play it’s a high hand.  Some play it’s an automatic loss.  Some don’t play at all.  I call those people “busters.”

Here’s a bad photo of a good trick that didn’t get landed.  Gary was all over this wallride on a convex brick wall, but the owners of the building weren’t impressed and gave us the boot.  I have no clue whether or not he ever went back and landed this.  Gary?

 gary hall, wallride.

Man, did I ever blow the footage on this line that Jeremiah Stevens did today.  I’m not even sure how it happened, but it did, and I was bummed.  Not as bummed as he was though.  Sorry Jeremiah. 

 So, here’s my question:  Why in the hell am I being forced to film shit for people?  Are the filmers in hiding?  It’s hard to be legit sitting at home.

Since you’ve probably already seen Cole Wilson’s bluntslide transfer in the latest HOME Skateshop video, Extra Crispy, I figure letting the sequence go isn’t a big deal.
