Josh Kiiffner just sent over some photos he took on Saturday.
Everything about this shot is awesome… Scott’s shades, his general steez, the broken finger pointing….the little girl in the background.

The McCreesh kickoff fundraiser skate jam was a success, with lots of kids in attendance, and over $1,000 raised for the skatepark. Jesse Clayton and crew worked hard on building some temporary ramps for the local kids to skate until the new park is built. We skated with everyone on Saturday [...]
I know none of us need a designated day for going skating, but maybe we need a day dedicated to launch ramp sessions.
Thanks again to Rich, Prime Skateshop, and all the skaters who came out for the fun times! —pg

My launch ramp pics prompted a new nickname from my [...]
Travis was thumbing through some old issues of Concussion while healing up from a staph infection and he came across a rad shot of Phil Jackson circa 2005.
One week prior to this discovery, Steve Rodriguez had sent me an old photo of me skating this ramp in Brooklyn back in 1996. Coincidence? [...]

When I was in high school, I frequented a skatepark in Pennsylvania called “Cheapskates.” I loved that park because under its roof you could witness some of the world’s best skateboarding any time of the year (Team Steam, Shut team, SEAN MILLER, the Lopez brothers, the Sigafoos twins, and the list goes on)…especially [...]
Things I like – Transition. Tight transition. Street skating that involves transition. Mercyful Fate.
And Jersey dividers with quick crete at the bottom count as “street tranny” to me. What do you think?
RIP Girard spot. Only got to skate that thing one time before it was gone, and it [...]
While we’ve been getting hammered by snowfall over this last couple of weeks, I’ve heard a lot of people making all the common complaints – “I’m sick and tired of shoveling,” “my back is killing me,” “they plowed me in again,” “the neighbor’s kids are idiots,” etc. etc. Well, while most people are [...]
I’ve got this old footage around that I’ve never used for anything, so I figured I would post it up here, especially because it has some Asbury Pool footage mixed in (I really miss that pool).
The footage dates back to ‘03 and goes up to like ‘06 I think….definitely not the freshest footage, but what [...]
Travis was digging around in his video archives and stumbled upon some footage we shot on the Autumn ramp a while back. This is some pure bro cam footage here, shot by the guys who are skating – me, Anthony, and Travis. I remember this session pretty well because it was a really awesome day. [...]
