Me and Baines on the circuit


Last night in Copenhagen for us boys. The trip has been real good. As you can see Baines just beat me by one place, I am cool with that as last year I came dead last so anything better than that was going to be good for me. I suppose if your at the bottom there is only one way to go. Looking forward to next year already.
Old dirty Rattray came in at 5th place earning himself some of those dollars. Maybe he can go and buy another matching shirt and sock combo with his winning. It was good to see 
him, he was fucking ripping too.






























"I love you, Reda..."

So I'm currently out in Copenhagen at the second annual DVS CPH pro comp with Baines, Shier and wee Ratbox.
Will blog some photos in the near future, but for now here's their footage from yesterdays street qualifiers.
Shier and Baines came 21st and 20th respectively, which stoked Shier out as that was an improvement on last years 'last' placement, with Rattray coming in tenth, meaning he is in todays finals.
More to follow...

Wamma Race '08

the annual Wamma Race was held for the 4th time in Helsinki and it was a complete success with more spectators and skaters than ever!! so this is not your average competition, tricks don't matter (even tho you can get extra points for them) but the speed does. first round everyone has time-trials with freestyle, and this defines the groups for the semi-finals and there's more people at once and in the semifinals and finals you can't touch the ground with your feet a.k.a. you need to tictac your way through the course.. what a great day it was, thanks to everyone inolved. the most official unofficial event in the business.




check the trophy out



medals



getting ready for the tic tacin



it's on!



jasser with the mic



yes! Lucas our flag man and Angus McGyver



riders



the beer tent



and the beer.. Karhu!



entrance fee to the comp was 2 beers/ciders (or some weed) and the winner takes it all



and the winner was wille a.k.a. kolumbian vahvistus 2nd was havis and 3rd was Webster


and that's it. i'm gonna be puttin some more updates soon, i had a knee operation yesterday that takes me out of skating for three months so i've got too much time in my hands right now..
oh yeah went to see bonnie 'prince' billy playing in helsinki and the gig was amazing.

WESC Copenhagen Trip

Peace

Just a few photos from the on going DVS scandi trip. Had a moment to do this as it has been raining for a couple of days now so no skating. We just made it to Gothenburg, haven't seen any heroin yet which is good, some kebabs and the hotel room is all so far. Lets hope skating is on the cards for tomorrow, if not I guess I will doing a lot more of this shit.

Shiers DVS road trip

Just a quick note to let you know how this trip is going so far, no photos to put up yet as I am trying to find a lead for my camera and I only get the use of Brophys computer once every few days.  So far the trip has been pretty good, Sweden and Norway so far.  Sweden was sausages, Reda has been storytelling, Norway has been pretty crazy so far, one hour in and we saw 3 people shooting up outside the hotel, a women half dead getting a shot of adrenalin to wake her from her street coma and a load of kids with fake tans and crazy gear.  Looking forward to see what today brings us.  A signing and then go skateboarding day first.
I will have photos up hopefully by the end of today, if not you will just have to wait till next week.
Happy days people and Brophy says hello.

Blueprint in Boston.

So I recently got back from NY but heres a few photos from the previous trip with Shier, Magee and Mackey.

Sorellas Breakfast spot......eggs over easy? sunny side up?

What's Black Glove?


For those of you who have read Alan Moore's comic book opus "Watchmen", you will know "Tales Of The Black Freighter" is a comic book within a comic book, a parallel commentary on the main plot. Similarly, "Tales Of The Black Glove" is our tangent universe to the goings on at Blueprint Skateboards.

Blueprint in NYC

This week we went to NYC to film with Kevin Coakley. Lee Berman tagged along for the action.



The sleeping situation was tight; a cat had clawed this blow up mattress and it would be completely deflated within an hour. Berman demonstrating the flow.


Most nights just ended up looking like this; completely faded. Kevin and Alex bringing Boston to NY. Only there three days, but we hit up some spots:


The Fung-Wah drives you from Boston to NY round trip 30$. Chicken bones on the floor, it's obviously trife.


Hopefully there's some footage to show we didn't at least waste our trip to NY.
