"Finally the new Knock video is in it’s final stages."

web banter.

Here's a quick clip of Jim & Nick skating around the TVA block in downtown Chattanooga. I'm having to undergo my third knee surgery early in July. With that being said, I'm going to try my best to keep posting content while recovering, but forgive me if it slows. In other Tennessee news, Knock on Wood's third annual game of S-K-A-T-E is taking place on June 21st. Don't miss out on the free food and maybe even skate a little!

Wheelie Mania!

Redbull and Manny Mania made their first stop this year in Nashville, TN. It rained during the third heat, but luckily the course dried up in a few hours. Here's some of what went down! Also, check out what Hartman Austin has been up to in his hometown of Kingston, TN.

Wassup on Youtube?!

As the final hard copies of "Wassup My Nooga?!" are selling in shops, Josh and I have been stacking mini-dv tapes head high and chipping away at rough edits for Comfort Skateshop's first full-length film. Stay tuned! In the meantime, you can click around on the individual parts from "Wassup My Nooga?!" and Matt Swinsky's vimeo page . He has uploaded sections from his project with Matt Creasy, "The VHS Tape".

This time last year...

...Comfort Skateshop's doors had just opened for business, Wassup My Nooga had just premiered, and the winter seemed a little less harsh. What hasn't changed is the countless skatepark sessions, and a little documenting to go along with them. Here's to many more years of skateboarding and good business!

October 2010 montage; Sklog feature.

The Skateboard Mag featured our site in their sklog column in the 81st issue of their magazine. They hit the shelves today, so go grab a copy from your local skate shop! This is a collection of footage that Josh and I have put together since the summer. We're about to settle in for the winter, bundle up, and keep things moving. Enjoy and stay posted!

western limbo.

While Cameron has been out west, we've been spending some time at Mikendo's.
With ants in his pants to skate, Cameron finds himself pushing around the freshly fixed driveway.

Enjoy the Fod!

PUSH.

I've been involved with Push Skateshop's video project for half of it's three year movement. People came and went, stayed and lived, they even managed to film tricks. But for some reason passing company and old friends keep coming back.

There's a constant in Asheville, North Carolina and it's the relationships between the young people and the "old" people that share a commonality in skateboarding. That is what this video represents. I'll be posting information on the premiere this coming weekend.
