BATB 3

I dont give a shit about this contest. theres like a handful of dudes (Chris Cole) in it that you could actually be like "holy shit skating flatground is gnar". Besides, not too many even try in there round. Also, motherfuck steve berra, he sucks, which is reason enough to never watch anything besides battle commanders, united nations, or recruits. Seriously though, "hey chase how about you make another best selling tee shirt" WTF. I bet the majority of tees from the berrics are sold through the berrics, zumiez and other faggy mall shops. How about, "hey chase, go ramp slo mo every fucking trick youve ever filmed at the berrics". Berra can suck my high theton count dick, scientologist twat.

P.S.- chris cole has mastered the dubious ollie poles, and made it look semi decent

RE: Habitat Lark

fuck these shoes, going by how they looked after a few skate sessions i figured theyd hold up pretty well. As it turns out, they lasted about 2 weeks and are now pretty much completely ruined. Readers, this shoe lasts no longer than your average pair of vans, so unless your a rich asshole, dont buy them.

Indy riders go fast. The line at 1:30 is just precious too.

SHAPE DEUCE: SERGE MURPHY TEASER

The Shape crew hails from my homeland of Massachusetts and they rip pretty hard, as you can see from the video. Their latest project, Shape Deuce, looks to be fucking sick. This teaser has some legit hammers and its only throwaway (the guard rail gap at 1:02-fucking raw), so im definitely looking forward to seeing what these dudes can do. Somebody really needs to start giving these guys some more coverage, theyre on the rise definitely.

Shaun White Skateboarding Trailer

Well this is pretty lame. Shaun White now has two extreme video games fueling little fuckers to go buy his target clothes and skateboard accessories from zumiez. Has Shaun White ever skated anything other than a vert ramp? I really wish there werent too many actual skaters that signed on for the video game too (im assuming the people in the trailer are, WTF Johnny Layton?). Shaun White, FUCK YOU, until you double cork a skateboard, then ill still say fuck you but you will have done a fucking double cork, and that will be extreme.

GSB Shoe Review

Now i dont know how anyone else feels about Habitat entering the shoe game, but i picked up a pair of larks and i have to say Burton definitely made the right choice in letting them branch out into the footwear world. These shoes definitely get the job done. Its pretty clear that they went for the low key vulc shoe that everyone wants nowadays and yeah...i like that. As far as skating goes, i couldnt be happier with the shoe. They feel a lot like adidas campus vulcs , another shoe im a big fan of, but took less time to break in. I would say to any of you widefooters though, this shoe probably isnt for you. I like the shoe mainly because its quite narrow and fits my equally narrow foot as well, so you might find theyll pack out pretty easy. As for wear and tear, there decent. The first time i skated them there was little wear on the sole and a small rip near the top end of the laces. Overall id say give them a try, there definitely worth the average skate shoe price.

Zered Bassett State of Mind

Zered seriously murders shit. Hes up for TWS video part of the year. Hes also from Cape Cod, which is pretty cool considering the Cape could be one of the worst places to skate, unless you can make it to Marthas Vineyard. Anyways, his absurd switch skating, ability to muscle through any ledge, and creative lines all add up to make him fucking sick. Also, Dio is fucking sick, RIP

ZOMG first post

Alright so other than skate and menial labor i dont have shit to do this summer, so this is pretty much a time waster where i can post some skate vids and nerd out on everything that is skateboarding. If youre not into the whole opinion thing and youd rather just watch some videos (probably most of you), then i suggest you make your way over to the good old catfish , but trust me, this blogs gonna be the tits.
