Skateboarding
September 2010
Posted by Mark - 1 Sep, 2010Another 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!
Photos and Videos from Boston Dew Tour Day 1
Posted by Mark - 26 Jun, 2010Spent 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 MMC Best Trick
Posted by Mark - 8 Jun, 2010Torey Pudwill's best trick, at least according to the judges, was this amazing kickflip back lip to tail. Enjoy.
Dennis Busenitz at MMC
Posted by Mark - 4 Jun, 2010Always a sure bet. Dennis Freakin' Busenitz.

SkateRock Tour Starts Tomorrow!
Posted by Mark - 24 Apr, 2010Skate 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
Three New Larry Perkins Calls!
Posted by Mark - 12 Feb, 2010Larry Perkins apparently has been making a push to get back on his game lately, and he's been trying to get a boutique going, trying to get some new kicks from Nike via Theotis, and he's even reaching for the stars looking for a job at the KFC. Word on the street is that Nike's been paying attention. The only question is, when will we finally see him skate? Tampa boys have been holding out for a Tampa Pro appearance, but I'll believe it when I see it. Check the links to all three calls here.
