nerding out.

the video wizards at video electronics have been quite helpful in keeping me behind a lens. they are indeed the first official sponsor of tennskate. if any of you have any camera mishaps, ship that bad boy up to Massachusetts.


i was talking to jason the other day about pulling an all nighter to dayton, oh for the mind field premiere. it didn't look very possible considering our schedules. however, the premiere date in nashville seems a lot more promising.

If you guys didn't make your daily check on the The Skateboard Mag site, go by and check out the new Mag Minute of Evan Smith. You might catch a Tennessee clip in there!

Over the winter and spring Evan and I were filming for 411's release after the Crimson issue. Since that went south, I had nowhere to put his footage. After sitting on it all year, I decided the best way was to pitch it to Shad and DanOzone at the Mag. Those dudes were psyched and there you have it. The best tricks from his part put together in one minute! Hope you guys are as psyched as I am!

I leave next week to head back out west, so I'll be putting together a montage, this week, of all the homies that I got to roll around with during my extended extended stay in Chattanoooga.

*EDIT* So come to find out, I'm that dude that doesn't look before he starts posting, and RJ over here went and made a mammoth of a post for everyone to see. So, make sure you keep scrolling to check out what's been going on today.

the longest post in tennskate history.

knock on wood made another round to orlando last week for the surf expo tradeshow. the trip is becoming a KOW ritual (thanks
kristy).

patrick took some digi's of the trip which are on the
wooden website.

in southern advocate news...

evan smith has a new mag minute up on the
skateboard mag. there is a clip from a trip he took up to Tennessee in the mag minute. his local homies in orlando also premiered their new video "just meshin around," over the surf expo weekend.

Step inside.

I've got a good quote.

"So, Guertin, how was school today?"

Nick Guertin- "School was cancelled."

"Why?!"

Nick Guertin- "It was cold!"

School systems here are killin' it for sure. I don't think any other place has it better. To sum up our weather for the Chatt: warm with rain, or cold with wind. You pick.

There was another trip to Asheville this weekend. RJ and I are gonna try and get something together for a proper post. Stay tuned.

whoops.

while our cell phones were out of commission in mark's dungeon, manny took the initiative to drive taylor, pat, and hartman to bp skatepark in waynesville, nc. good thing he did, according to cameron we didn't do shit all weekend. don't worry homie...you've got it coming.


Somewhere on top of that country hill.....
