went to the maloof money cup yesterday (it is in my buro) to see all the homies.. it was crazy hot and really freaking dirty.
i never actually went into the event. gave my tickets away. but it was dope to see all the guys from Naysayer, Prize Fighter Cut, KCDC, NYskateboarding.com and more. psyched to have a new epic free park in queens too!

so finally, the 2nd OPEN deck is done. it’s not the one we promised. and we can’t be sorry enough to everyone about that. but it’s one of those things you can’t undo. pennswood send me a couple decks to check out here in PDX. can i withhold from hooking one up? even though i am on a ian board that is more then good still? only time will tell.

[gallery link="file" columns="2"]i love to make things. it isn’t an option. or something to look into. i like the whole process. from concept to refining, being anal, then manufacturing. paying for the manufactureing, and getting the final product. i love all these things. i AM the dreamer of the dreams. but sometimes i do things that are not mass produced or re-broadcast. in this cast, i made a OPEN logo board, one of a kind. never to see the day of bulk daylight. a one off for JL at project bushwick. i hate to sound all douche like. but i think 100% bamboo decks is the future. bamboosk8 is doing an awesome job of pushing things forward, and you will continue to see limited edition 100% bamboo decks from OPEN.


we’re not all rippers, but still love to skate.

i hate to make the 30s sound old. but in skateboarding. shit gets hurnt in weird ways, and the recovery takes longer. big ledges are hot, but are crazy hard to learn on. so, some people have started work on a new, “open sk, let’s pratice ledge” at BQE. this will be all mumbo jumbo for people outside of the nyc area.
here some snaps of the work so far.

so it’s about 1 foot + high.. with a 1/4″ thick piece of STEEL, 2″ x 2″ on the side. it will be epic fun if not one prys off the edging tonight.. fucking.. skaters.. i just want something nice!!

still more work to do. if you know how. contact me if you want to get some promo under the final coat of poly!!!
