Summer Time

It has been so hot lately, that everyone just looks like this all the time. It was so hot in the city the other day that people were skating around in their underwear. Well, just Nick was I guess. But, it was hotter than a Mother Fucker too. He laid his laundry out on the rail and threw in a boardslide for good measure.

Nick with the longest boardslide of the day on the top of the rail.

4th of July

Such a display of patriotism is almost poetic, isn't it.

6 PM- Leave the train station toward Wading River and a spare set of keys.

9:30 PM- Get on the bus Philly Bound

12:15 AM- Walk in the door of Brysons apartment....finally there!!

Thats pretty much the story of the trip to Philly for the 4th. Traveling was not our forte, we had seen smoother journeys in our time. But, one thing that was on for the trip was full on, no holds barred skateboarding. Pat, Bryson, and Nick all killed it all day, along with everyone else at the park. Harry Potter was there and did the craziest Frontside grab into the square bowl I had ever seen. Well the photos tell the story better than I can so....Here you go.

Chelsea Piers Park

Pat with a bs 360 melon!!

The new park in NYC is so right. Normally in New York every skate park is ok to good. Everything is fun but there is one or two things they just put in the wrong spot, or just got built funny. There was nothing wrong with this park, the design is real fast and real fun. My only complaint would be the volume of kids......it was nuts how many people were there. I must have gotten into 3 or 4 collisions and about 13 close calls. All in all no helmet, no money, concrete park in NYC...I LIKE IT!!!!!

KickFlippers!!!

Another day-venture out to nueter...and another hammer was dropped on the door. James Kickflipped off the ramp we made out of the first door and over the other door. It was tight!!! Two kickflips, two photos and then it was all about sitting. Good Day

Good Ol' Saint Pat

KIckflip number 4 of 4 on the day for Bryson.....Not that any of them were that bad but he's a bit of a perfectionist.

So Saint Patrick's Day this year, I decided to spend in NYC. I avoided all of the traffic, and parades, and most of the drunken morons that took the train in with me by hiding away under the bridges downtown. We spent most of our day under the Manhattan Bridge, under the influence. Actually minus our trip under the Brooklyn Bridge, we spent all of our time at the Manhattan Skatepark. No photos really happened at the banks but, it was a necessary detour knowing they are being closed down soon. ]

Sky-Rockets at Night

Sky Rocketing over the handicapped, Bryson boosts this ollie to flat. It dose not get more gansta than that. This is another shot from the day at nueter when mike got broken. I have one more to edit up from that day and some sweet saint patties day pics from NYC coming up soon so saty tuned....

the latest news about last October

Lost post alert....Throughout my time in life i have had many different email addresses. I have two that are the same username for both yahoo and g-mail. I have wegerchris@yahoo and wegerchris@gmail. I originally had a blog on one email and never really did anything with it. Then I started this one with the other. and amidst the chaos of moving away from Philadelphia I posted this on the wrong blog. So here is some new-old news....enjoy

Neuter

James Arroyo Nose manual Switch-a-roo to manual.

Come one come all....From the same minds that brought you the Uter fad of 2006, I present to you Neuter. The New Uter. Im not about to give you directions here but the spot has apparently been around for some time so it shouldn't be to hard to find. It is a sweet little gem in the making too so, expect a lot more photos from here real soon. Kind of a build it your self park just like its predecessor Uter. All in all it was a super fun day skating with Bryson who was up from Philly Killing it out here on the Island. More to come.

EMERGENC....

There was an EMERCENE yesterday with Mr. Mike. He was getting very nautical doing Ollie's over this boat (to be honest it was a sandbox shaped like a boat, but you get the picture), when suddenly man overboard. Final verdict is....splint for a week, followed by 2 to 3 months with no surgery. The face says it all....

Ahhwooooo...

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand, Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain. He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's, Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein. Ahhwooooo... Werewolves of London, Ahwooooo! Ahhwooooo... Werewolves of London, Ahwooooo! You hear him howling around your kitchen door, You better not let him in. Little old lady got mutilated late last night, Werewolves of London again. Ahhwooooo... Werewolves of London, Ahwooooo! Ahhwooooo... Werewolves of London, Ahwooooo! Huh! He's the hairy handed gent who ran amok in Kent, Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair. You better stay away from him, He'll rip your lungs out, Jim, Huh! I'd like to meet his tailor. Ahhwooooo... Werewolves of London, Ahwooooo! Ahhwooooo... Werewolves of London, Ahwooooo! Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen, Doing the Werewolves of London. I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen, Doing the Werewolves of London. I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's, And his hair was perfect. Ahhwooooo... Werewolves of London, Huh! Draw blood! Ahhwooooo... Werewolves of London...
