I posted this on facebook already, but now you can see it here! The annual 2011 Summer Skate Jam will be at the Carruthers Ledgespot this year,and starts at 1pm. The day is Sunday, June 19th. No rain dates have been set yet, but its still a while away. Be sure to not miss it! If you were at last years jam then you know how fun it is! More will be posted as time goes on.

quick update

Hey guys. As you know, spring is finally here (even showing small hints of summer..?), and the skate season is underway. My good buddy and NT skateboarding "alumnist" Jake Kedzierski, was back in town last week, and stopped by Carruthers to skate with myself and Hammer. Like usual, he had his cameras and what not with him and got a couple shots off.




In other news, there has been talk of another Summer skate jam like that of last years in June...Not too much has been decided, but the date of JUNE 19TH has been tossed around. More updates on that soon.

Building begins..again

Hey guys. With spring pretty much about here, and summer on the way, that means that its time to begin building up the Carruthers ledgespot again. This past saturday myself and some guys went over there and cleaned up everything, and even began to rebuild the bills ledge (Hammer and I underestimated it and didnt get enough blocks). The parking block ledge is back up right now also. Rest assured more and more building will be happening within the next month or so, and definitely expect to see some new things this summer, we have alot of ideas in store..enjoy the weather!

Hey guys, sorry about the lack of updates. Let me asure you there's good reason to it though...Anyways, my buddy JON PLARR has been filming for this xtreme-wheels montage for the last few months of winter, and just dropped it last night.

Sunday turns 6!

Can you believe they have been open for 6 years now(april 1st, officially)? Since day one, they have been supporting the skateboard scene in Buffalo, and standing by the same philosophy that everyone should be behind. Sunday is more than just skateboarding, it's a family, and I'm glad to say I am a part of something so positive and great. So hats off to you JP,and anyone and everyone who stands behind them. Happy 6 and many more!!

SINCE DAY ONE!

If you are anything like me, then this is something you have been waiting anxiously for a long time now. I knew Sunday was premiering this for a while now, but the date is finally set. MARK YOUR CALENDARS EVERYONE! APRIL 11th at SOUNDLAB. 8pm. Admission to get in is a 2$ - 5$ donation (in which ALL funds go to the Jonny Kicks Cancer fund). Buffalos own Jake Donnelly is going to have his first standout part in this, and from what I have heard, his part is absolutely insane. Along with Jake, is the rest of the Real team, including Justin Brock, Pete Ramondetta, Chima Ferguson, Dennis Busenitz and many more. Do not miss this!! This is one of the most anticipated videos in years!
This is going to be jam packed, so it wouldnt hurt to show up a bit early..

Happy Spring!

Hey guys! My apologies on not updating this lately. Since spring is officially here, the crew and myself have all been out skating as much as possible, just trying to grind off the winter rust and get the ball back rolling again. Let me assure you though that the Colored Horses Full Length Video is officially underway. Keep checking back for occasional video and photo updates.

In other news, I recently obtained an iPhone and have been posting random pictures on my flickr. They arent all skate related, but definitely expect to see some skateboarding stuff sooner or later.

jake kedzierski and dirt part 2

If you were an avid follower on the old HR media blog, you wouuldve seen a post with some old skate clips out of NT. The guy who threw that together is a buddy of mine, and NT native, Jacob Kedzierski. Recently, he put up the sequel to the video that him and his crew made back in the early-mid 90's, titled DIRT. If you arent from NT this may have no value to you, but its a cool watch none the less!

First nice day of the year!

Finally! Spring gave us a little teaser today, and pretty much all pavement was dry. Not taking this for granted, james, myself, kyle and bobby all went out to the farmers market, set up a couple things and skated. The below video is the result of that. What a great way to start off the new year! Watch it in HD for extra awesome

weekend dan

Hey guys, hopefully the winter hasn't been getting to you too hard, spring is kind of soon..Anyways, last week I skated the ramp with some guys, of course everyone was killing. But, Dan Loughery in specific was on another level. Naturally, I went home and did the american thing and added him on facebook, and while lurking around I noticed that he does some super rad art. In fact, I thought it was so rad that I decided to buy a couple prints from him. Long story short, Dan kills it on and off a skateboard, and his art is way awesome, and way cheap. Buying a few prints would be a solid idea..check him out.
