Dear Blog,

My Christmas wish was granted; I saw the snow ghost.







Old news, Evan is a twat. Br on Br

on the pile

Oh, yes. I finally purchased the mind-fuck Mind Field. It's definitely worth owning, easier to replay than Fully Flared. I was almost right about what my favorite parts would be, it's actually Jake Johnson, Omar Salazar, and Tyler Bledsoe. Tyler Bledsoe's b-roll footage is better than Steve Berra and Rob Dyrdek's parts combined.

I think there are more than a few lessons to be learned from this. I want 1000 words from each of you explaining why that video was so awesome.

glory days

Alien Workshop premiered their new video this last week. I haven't seen it but I've already decided that my favorite parts are Grant Taylor and Omar Salazar; you should know why. It's interesting how AWS has changed in the last decade from the (mostly) east-coast cast of Photosynthesis to the random super-team that exists today. It would be so easy to accuse AWS of losing their soul, especially now that they're owned by Burton, but I don't really have a problem with the direction they've gone. But I am feeling a bit nostalgic and since VCRs are now extinct (or illegal?) I naturally turn to YouTube.











Notes:

- Remember Vita shoes?

- Remember DC shoes?

- Appleyard rode for Habitat but I tossed him in with the rest 'cause I know Dan has a crush on him.

- How often do you see a fakie frontside shove-it?

- Josh Kalis has a really really really nice tre flip.

- UK, what happened to that giant yellow Habitat shirt you used to wear? I hope you didn't lose it because it's time to start rocking it again.
