Skatepunk

Another long break with nothing to say, apparently. This blog format isn't the same as the old Randumb Notes, which was a lot more free-form... but anyway, I've been busy traveling and most of my photos are going to Facebook. Gotta get more going here.
These are good things happening over the last few months...
.Altamont's SkateRock tour with Thrasher and The Skateboard Mag was maybe the best tour of my life. Thirty skaters, two bands, four vans, ten days of non-stop action. Words can't express. It was perfect. The Goat and Bad Shit bring the original spirit of Skate Rock to a 2010 level that would make JFA, The Big Boys, The Faction, Los Olvidados, Aggression, and all the other OG Skate Rock bands proud. Mofo, too!
.Maloof Money Cup in New York City: good skatepark, good contest, and the park was left for the community, which is awesome!

Spent the day at the ISF World Championships in Boston. Shot a few photos and some video on my iPhone -- I got a new wide angle adapter for it that works pretty well. Some good skateboarding, as usual, but there was a lot of wading thru sketchiness to get to it.

Torey Pudwill's best trick, at least according to the judges, was this amazing kickflip back lip to tail. Enjoy.

Always a sure bet. Dennis Freakin' Busenitz.

Just a few sequences from practice today. The contest is going to be amazing, people love the rails and stairs, all I've heard is good stuff. Click on the frames for the sequence.

Here's a little footy of some dudes getting warmed up earlier in the day:

The first Maloof Money Cup in New York City is this weekend, in Flushing Meadows, Queens. Should be interesting to see how it goes off under the critical eye of New Yorkers. I'll be going to shoot photos and to blog about it. Haha. I'll keep this site updated as well.

Check the profiles section for a bunch of photos and videos from Skate Rock Tour 2010 -- I'll be adding to it as often as possible. Great trip.

Skate Rock Tour 2010 is finally here. We leave tomorrow. It's gonna be madness. Super fun, lots of skateboarding and music, and I am very amped. I'll have updates as often as possible, plus check for my updates on AltamontApparel.com

Free and open to all.

Great song, super easy! Verse is E, D, C, Bm; chorus is E, D A, C, then E C D.
