Take a hike

This past weekend i went to relax out at the lake.
The water was depressingly low, muddy, and still too cold to swim in.

A good crew rolled out. I did some fishing and cooked up some burgers.

Burgers with some stuffed jalapenos to ride along side. Thanks Amanda, so good!

We even had a couple of K9's on site too. This is Marley. Check out his skills below.

After midnight or so, the temperature dropped down to the 40's and hit us with high winds and rain. Our fire pit was ridiculous and still going strong. It got to the point where we were practactly burning everything on the ground, hauling whole dead trees in. Man, nothing beats a badass fire.

Anyways, the fire was going hard as all hell but due to the winds, it eventually went down. We moved our ruckus on into the tent till everyone passed out.
The Good life.

No no no, not Ted Turner, HEAD turner. Dummy.

While driving down May last Saturday I happened to see this in the Chelino's parking lot.

So I ran over to get a closer look. And some photos.

It's like a dune-buggy and a motorcycle crossover. Except...

...it's not! It's a T-Rex! Apparently T-Rex also teamed up with another company and formed Silence, and are producing an electric version called the PT-2.

But enough about that, examine the paint job!!! Boobs everywhere!!! On the hood, on the roof, on the wheel wells, I say everywhere!!! The tribal stuff is definitely retarded, but...

...two naked chicks fighting a T-Rex? That's just magnificent right there! I'd say that pretty much blows away the fantasy art on Rob n Big's mini-horse trailer for sure. So what's up Watson(Dan, not Crawdad), did you know about this crazy Canadian vehicle? The electric one will only run you 50,000 CDN. That's for a solid color though. I'll bet that paint job cost around 5 grand alone. Holler!

Warr Acres Incredible Pizza Company

Yeah. Don't go there. I'm not getting into it, but that place sucks. I had a good time, but it still sucks. Quote for the evening: "Incredible? Uh, Incredibly shitty. They forgot that word in the title." -Tyrone. Despite the unavoidable shittiness, the best moment occurred in the little-kids-area. You're supposed to be under 48" tall to play in this area. Woops.

Are you serious? and Holler at these blogs!

Well here it is. The most amazing thing I've ever seen today. 

It's got gyros in it to stay balanced. If they work, I would totally ride one of those. I wouldn't buy one though. Read about it here.

Tim Clark is blogging.

So are Clint, Scotty and Nik.

And Mr. Cherries.

Oh yeah, and Bobby Worrest too!  (Find the post with the strippers, it's epic!)

I bit this bit from Jesse. Holler.

The Death of An Anti-Hero Shirt

I really hate being the bearer of bad news. Last night we lost a shirt. It was a good shirt, a white Anit-Hero t-shirt with a logo that looked like it was spray-painted on. Terry loaned the shirt to JG since he spilled red wine on his other shirt. Well, the Anti-Hero shirt fought hard, but in the end it was no match for nice weather, a patio and about 15 Mind-Erasers. Here is the grisly evidence:

Everything looks pretty normal here.

Then the beers started acting out as if they had a mind of their own. Actually that was Justing causing a rukus.

Trying to be a good guy, he attempts to make amends.

I'm not sure what's going on here...

What are you doing to that poor shirt, Tenderfoot?

I think I heard the shirt scream as it was torn apart to reveal a slothy nipple.

This time it really wasn't JG's fault. Really, it wasn't. He tried to keep the shirt alive.

The torture just would not cease. Here, the shirt gets pierced with a flower and written upon like some worthless piece of paper. What are they writing, you ask?

Some sort of alien language to me. Maybe you can make it out.

Here JG just tries to maintain, even though he has the looks of a common ragamuffin.

Was he pissed about the shirt? I don't know, but he's chasing Tenderfoot around for some reason.

Here we have the last known shot of said shirt. JG and the shirt's whereabouts are unknown.

I'm sorry you had to find out this way Terry. Maybe it will be easier for you to take the news, as you will undoubtedly be sitting down while you read this.

I think knowing that JG will forever be captured striking such a creepy pose will make you feel a little better. I mean just look at that last picture. Seriously.

Also, I heard the culprit(s) say they would buy you a new shirt. Get'cha one!

monkey brains repost

Everybody’s favorite psychiatric treatment, the modern lobotomy was the brainchild of Egas Moniz, a Portuguese doctor. Moniz believed that mental illnesses were generally caused by problems in the neurons of the frontal lobe, the part of the brain just behind the forehead. So when he heard about a monkey whose violent, feces-throwing urges had been curbed by cuts to the frontal lobe, Moniz was moved to try out the same thing with some of his patients. (The lobe-cutting, not the feces-throwing.) He believed the technique could cure insanity while leaving the rest of the patient’s mental function relatively normal, and his (admittedly fuzzy) research seemed to support that. The accolades flooded in, and (in one of the lower points in the Karolinska Institute’s history) Moniz was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1949.

After the lobotomy rage hit American shores, Dr. Walter Freeman took to traveling the country in his “lobotomobile” (no, really), performing the technique on everyone from catatonic schizophrenics to disaffected housewives. His road-ready procedure involved inserting a small ice pick into the brain through the eye socket and wiggling it around a bit. While some doctors thought he’d found a way to save hopeless cases from the horrors of life-long institutionalization, others noted that Freeman didn’t bother with sterile techniques, had no surgical training whatsoever, and tended to be a bit imprecise when describing his patients’ recovery. As the number of lobotomies increased, a major problem became apparent. The patients weren’t just calm; they were virtual zombies who scarcely responded to the world around them. Between that and the bad press lobotomies received in films and novels such as One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the treatment soon fell out of favor.

Winner: First-Ever CBS Contest!

Well we have a winner of the first-ever Cheeseburger Supreme contest! The goal of the contest was to be the first to answer where I got the tuxedo part of the photo and the inspiration from.  And Mr. Hunchbacklove88 ( I can't tell from the picture who you really are, sorry ) got it right.  My picture is a straight-up rip off of an image from classic punk/weirdo band The Residents. The only thing I did was swap the eyeball for a cheeseburger. Oh I also re-did the lighting effects. Good job, hunchbacklove88.  Send your name, address, email, etc. here and I will work on getting that t-shirt to you. Oh, and my clue in the original post was something about artist-in-residence.  Did you get the clue hunchback or do you just know your shit? 

P.S. This image could very well be from your source originally Jeff, but I took it from The Residents.

Arockalypse Contest and New Spot Mega-Post!!!

The Arockalypse One-Year Anniversary Skate Contest & Art Show went down this past Saturday. Jayosh, Terry, Mitch, JG, Gabriel and Myself journeyed to Edmond to get some of the action. Here's how it went:

Tee-Rent was the Master of Ceremonies, he's always good at that sort of thing.

Preston Cheek won the high-ollie contest at something around 38 inches. That's not him in the photo however. Dang!

There were a few Bud Lights floating around to quench the thirst of anyone over 21, especially  dirty bearded bikers with pink and green shades. This dirty bearded bider just so happens to be a spokesman for the Alternative Thumb Team of America.  A-T-T-A!!!

Grant was in attendance, shralping the bowls and looking after Damien. It looks to me like Grant is attempting to rep the ATTA. I'm not sure if his thumbs are alternative enough to be considered for membership. We'll have to look into this...

The OG's were out today, baby!!! Another homie for many a year, Huss was at the park refreshing himself with his flawless tre-flips.  I remember seeing him huck a tre-flip over the metal grate at Chase Plaza downtown, with a big 'ol pager on his hip. This was like, at least 10 years ago. Youngsters better act like ya know.

Stony Phillips was there being positive, cruisin the 'crete and flexin' on kooks while donning the proper t-shirt for the occasion. He and Tee-Rent bulk up for the camera. I wouldn't fuck with either of these dudes. For real. 

We abandoned the contest before it was over, but I heard Vert-Gary and Kevin Keef took top honors in Best Trick. Way to go dudes. Much to my envy Gabe rode his bike to the next spot while we all rode in cars.

The new hot-spot is located right on a picturesque golf-course in a pretty nice neighborhood. There is clearly No Trespassing, but every citizen we ran across seemed to enjoy our presence. Go figure. I'm holding a dirty slipper that was lying near the sign, possibly a clue that someone else who trespassed there wasn't as lucky as we were.

Here is a panoramic view of the scene. Nice and relaxing.

Terry adds some phallic symbolism to an otherwise already-strange image.

These idiots were pretty drunk and convinced one of their buddies he could still skate...

...in his socks. He couldn't even push. Sorry kook, back to the golf-cart you go.

Here's Two-Bit's take on the scene:

Keep in mind while you're here you'll want to have cash handy when the golf course refreshments cart cruises by. Beers are $2.30 each, they got water & sodas too. The Ditch offers It all & is pretty much perfect. Go there on a nice day and you'll get the pleasure of interacting with the local golfers. The locals accepted us and gave up some beers in our good spirits. I'd say, "This spot's got potential."

You said it, T.

All in all, a pretty damned good day for us all, even though I got sunburnt really bad. Poor me. 

And now for what you've really been waiting for, some footy. I put together a short mini-video from the golf course spot. Gabe Friedman, Jayosh and Terry are the skater-boarders. Enjoy. (like the others, this video will be permanantly located on the video page as well. Okay? Okay. You're welcome.)

Homeward-bound,  Terry uses his multi-tasking abilities to light a cigarette, text someone and choose a tune while driving. Simply amazing.

russell peters. just watch it and laugh. haha.

watch all of them them. it's funny.

orgasmatron

alright what we have here is a fan made video of?? dood if you don't know i'm not gonna tell you. i will give you a hint. sepultura covered it. but this is the original song by the original artist. but, a fan made video. i thought it was cool. go ahead have a look. peace.

another art show

You should check out the nonzine artshow after the arockalypse ordeal. It's on 30th and May by Epperson photo. Vzd's is bringing a bar and i think the band total is up to six at this point. They might ask for a donation or something, i dunno. But you should stop and take a look before you go to that same old bar. capeesh.

First Ever Cheeseburger Supreme Contest!

It's time for the first-ever contest on Cheeseburger Supreme. See that photo on the right of Mr. Cheeseburger-Head in a tuxedo? Well, our artist-in-residence (Me) created this lovely photograph. The cheeseburger is mine, but where did I get the inspiration for this graphic, and where did the rest of the photo come from? The first to send in the correct answer will win a one-off t-shirt featuring the aforementioned photo! Notice the clue?

Arockalypse Art Show Prediction: I win!

Don't forget about the art show tomorrow night. I predict my board is going to win, and it's not even a contest. So you better make sure and attend, I wouldn't want your life to go down the toilet because you weren't able to catch a glimpse of my mind-blowing project. Or just check back here in a couple days for some imagery. 

burgertime.

so i listen to alot of bands that have skeletons, goats, graves, witches, and whatever else that is unholy...

This guy is the Joe Camel of snackfoods.



OK, I think I remember this . Silver dude runs at pedestrians slapping them upside the head with full cans of soda, great, next .



TRIVIA NOTE: A man named Kenneth Lamar Noid , apparently became upset with Domino Pizza's "Avoid the Noid" TV spots and allegedly held two Domino's Pizza employees hostage in Chamblee , Georgia . He was charged with kidnapping , aggravated assault , extortion and possession of a firearm during a crime . He did however plead insanity, It was accepted.




There is also several other McDonald's games, They all suck as bad as their shitty cheeseburgers,




I would have saved my points for the hovercraft .



Cereal box doom patch , i remember playing this in tech ed.




Lymon?





Your tax dollars paid for this.



Collecting skittles was pretty much what this game's engine was created for . Most of the people who were buying this (at full price) didn't even know.



This one was never made available to the public .
motown wanted a surround sound mod for the nes or something...

Body-Laptop Interface???

What in holy hell do they think they're doing? I don't know who designed this thing, but they must be sick of not being able to look at internet porn out in public.  I seriously laughed out loud upon seeing this. Never before has such a warm, fuzzy piece of "clothing" screamed "Look at me, I'm an idiot!" AND "Please rob me of my laptop and dignity, quick!" at the same time.  

Here's the source.

Audio-Visual Supreme Sensory Overload

Well, I'm doing it.  I was saving this little gem for an unknown future release but hey, no time like the present right? Right! As you may or may not know throughout the past five years I've carried around a Canon Elph Digital point-and-shoot camera (two different models, both fantastic products that I highly recommend) with video capabilities as well.  During this time I capture video that strikes my fancy, much like just about any other idiot in the world with a camcorder in his pocket. I know I'm not special. That's not the point. The point is that this video is special. This video is actually comprised of 3 smaller videos. Each of these occurred right in front of me at 3 completely different times and places.  I was lucky enough to fish my camera out and catch a piece of the beauty. Now others may disagree but I feel that each of these represent some unique thing happening that will never happen again the same way. The video AND audio are both note-worthy and that is why I am offering up this as one of the best videos ever made with a digital camera? Think I'm full of shit? Then show me. I'd love to see others creations. Hit me up.

Mega-Sheckler?

Well, I read it first on YouWillSoon who linked to the pictures, and now we have the video footage of Ryan Sheckler skating the Mega-Ramp.  It's gotta take some balls to skate that damned thing, that's for sure.  I wonder what he did over it? Actually what's more amazing than that is people are actually skating that thing without grabbing. Ryan Sheckler and Danny Way are total jock-bro's. I'm still down for D.Way however. But not Sheckles. Nope.

some dumb shit i probably would do.

i just got home. it's morning hours. 3:46 in the A.M. High On Fire was excellent tonight or yesterday evening or however the hell you look at it. but anyways. i'm drunk. here's some dumb antics i would probably do or you could see me doing. scenes from one of my favorite movies.

so, it's 4/14/08. high on fire is playing tonight in the okc.

Arockalypse Now? No, Saturday dummy!

Don't forget about this thingy going on this Saturday, April 19th.  Some contests are going down at Edmond Park, then there's a skateboard art show at the shop at 7 o'clock. Word on the streets is that my deck is the bitch-slappin' best there is.  Don't even think about missing it.

graveyard/skatepark/playground?

AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Receive public comments, identify location and direct staff to hire a surveyor for Shawnee Skate Park.

Community Development Director Mike Southard presented the four locations identified by the Site Design Group as possibilities for the skate park. After reviewing all four sites, they ranked KidSpace Park as the first preference followed by Boy Scout Park, Woodland Park and the Japanese Garden. The notable assets of KidSpace Park were the convenience of the central location and the bathroom facilities already on the premises. Mr. Southard did indicate that sound buffers would have to be included at this site due to the proximity to the cemetery.
In his presentation, Mr. Southard showed examples of the skate plaza concept, which includes trees and landscaping for a more park-like setting. The current plans call for the park to contain 10,000 square feet of skating surface within a 20,000 square foot area.
Several supporters, skaters and parents of skaters spoke in favor of the Kidspace location including, Jessie Genn, Jason Skillern, Brian Thompson, Damion Westbrook, Isaia Martin, Billy Brashears and Valorie Martin.
Commissioner Claybrook stated that he had initial concerns regarding this location due to its proximity to younger children playing at KidSpace Park. He had concerns that the skateboarders would attempt to use the playground equipment at KidSpace Park for skateboarding and prevent the younger children from using it.
Vice Mayor Peterson also expressed concern and stated that it would have to be made clear that there would be absolutely no skating allowed in KidSpace Park.
Responding to a question from Commissioner Schrzan, Mike Southard indicated that lighting the skate park was not being considered at this time.
A motion was made by Commissioner Schrzan, seconded by Commissioner Claybrook, to accept KidSpace Park as the location for the Shawnee Skate Park to be built and to direct staff to hire a surveyor. Motion carried.
AYE: Schrzan, Claybrok, O’Neal, Harden, Peterson, Downing
NAY: None

also,here's some stickers i picked up on ebay for a dollar.

Sunday with El Thermo

So today is Sunday. Today, we shred. My phone rang at 11. A nice surprise from the usual 8 or 9 o'clock wake up call coming from my mom wanting to meet for breakfast. Even better, it was OG triple OG El Termo calling from every body's favorite place - beautiful South side Oklahoma City. Our conversation was brief, we decided on where to go and thought a cruz at the Edmond park sounded best. Now with a crew assembled consisting of Therm, Mitch, Kepner & myself, we're ready to roll. It's a degree or two in the 60's and the wind was slightly just enough to let slide. Off we go. Oh, and i forgot to mention - Therm said he'd drive. "what?" ahhh, yesss! Time to get Hyped. Time for Bingers! What this means is...(Were roll'n 'A team' style instead of my no gas have'n, no knee room, cramped up ugly corolla)..now we'll be Roll'n in the Gnarliest '77 Chevy Shag'n Wagon around. (this thing has a deathwish) Let the Good times roll.


Anyways, Needless to say, we got there in no time at all. The park greeted us with Cold wind and tons of kids in the "my first time" stage of - bike, skate, scooter, heely, and every other extreme sports toy sold. Fun right? yeah, right. We skated it, and turns out it was actually ok. The sesh got better when our homie Stoney Philips showed up. Stoney, you're the man. It's always bad ass to run into you. Always fun that guy. Anyways, I had a good game of skate going with Therm when i strained my hamstring doing a frontside flip. I know, weird way to hurt yourself, but when you're old shit happens. Yeah, so now I'm sideline status, & am now heading to lounge it out back in the van. Soon the heads assembled for departure and 86 was the number.

On the way back to the city, we stopped by the newly not totally finished mini bowl at a near indoor TF called Altered Skates. Some of the homies worked there and joined in on a sesh with us. Thanks Robi.
The Fella's were shred'n the bowl so i figured i was gonna hang back and chillout in the van. I started to observe things, i decided that i was in major need of some new shoes. Major bummer man. You know that feeling you get when your shoes feel just perfectly right every trick you try, well, that's what these feel like. It's gonna be hard to part with these fuckers but these things are just about done. Anthony Van Englewatever, you sir, made a dope skate shoe.

Homoerotic tendencies, anyone?

Wow, Ryan Wells recently turned me on to Hardcore Superstar, a Swedish rock n roll band with a few really good albums.

Anyway, he also told me about this video for their song "Liberation" from their second album "Bad Sneakers and a Pina Colada."
These guys are definitely awesome and this video is fantastic, complete with sailors dancing in sync. Just watch it.

Check out the Astro-Zombies movie poster also. Movie poster page. Over there, on the right. Hurry, before I change it.

another bad day at work...

Bad Day At Work.

Skater Shades

I see that the Brigada Eyewear website is finally up. I hadn't checked lately but for the longest time it was just a picture of Reynolds, Greco, Ellington and TK posing hard.

My first reaction is why the hell does this site take so long to load? Then the song starts in, you know the song; I wear my suuunglasses at night so i can, so i can....

I think wearing sunglasses at night is so dumb. But the song has always been catchy.

I will say they have some pretty cool looking shades on the site, and I can't help but hope that the company is successful, but I don't think it should be related to skateboarding really. Maybe all the super-hip kids who wear their sunglasses at night will pick some of these up.  I think they said awhile ago that they will cost anywhere from $40 and up. There's a pretty cool pair of straight-up Ray-Ban knock-offs in the line, I personally will stick with the one pair of O.G. Ray-Bans that I've had for like 4 years.  

Oh and check out the press release for the new Baker TV show on YouWillSoon. It's gonna be so epic!  pause...not!  Peace!

keep your eyes open,you've already missed the sunrise.

Rank Ass Cheeseburger

Today I googled the word "Cheeseburger". I went through 17 pages hoping I would see this site but alas no, I did not. This may have something to do with the fact that I have never really written about Cheeseburgers. My original intent was to review Cheeseburgers I've eaten and make recommendations. I guess I will have to step it up a notch or two.

I also googled the phrase "Oklahoma Skateboarding". I was a little happier to find that Cheeseburger Supreme shows up at number 13. But 13 is not good enough, damn it! We need the Number One Spot! I'm not stopping until we get there. Skateboarding here in Oklahoma has always been a bit of a challenge, but we have buckled down in the face of diversity and charged forward, never refusing to skate shitty spots in the gale-force winds that plague our flat, dry little piece of the United States we call Oklahoma.

I have to say, I just cheered myself up with that wonderfully uplifting sentence. Keep on keepin' on, you loyal Oklahoma Skateboarders!

Everybody Wants Some!!!

So Childish, Yet So Good

The title pretty much says it all. My nephews actually watch this show.

New Look, New Video, New Trick

All hail the blogging boom. I'm going to try this out here for a minute, maybe longer. I've gone and replaced the CBS homepage with a blog. If you look over there on the right, my other pages are still linked to. I will be customizing this more over the next couple days. I'm not sure what the reason for this change is, either I'm lazy and want to take the easy way out or I'm becoming increasingly more internet-savvy and am keeping up with the Web2.0 era. I'd like to think it's the latter.


I've been talking to some peeps and it looks like the new vid may take a little longer. However it will be worth it as we're looking to get some of the OG's in there. I'm currently tracking down Grant, Billy Knight and The BandiTT for contributions. I also hear that the infamous Justin Roy (pictured on right) has been killing it lately. You can expect him and some more West Coast homies as well. Just chill.



I don't know what else is new lately, maybe I can round up some skate news for you...Ok, the new Alien Workshop "Mind Field" trailer is pretty good, check that out. Dylan Rieder's front blunt slide shove-it out at Austin High ditch is amazing. I really want to see Dill and Kirchart's parts, they better be fucking good.

Speaking of Austin apparently some clever thieves are running an ATM scam in Austin . You better watch out for that one. For real.

Remember when I told you about Blackle? Well forget that, the real goods is Googoth!

Last Saturday I woke up early, NOT hungover. That in itself was quite a feat. I was ready to go skate and couldn't find anyone to join me. So I went to Arockalypse and hung out with Brandon for awhile. I started skating around in the shop, just killing the flatground as usual. After a few minutes of messing around, I decided it was time to up the ante in skateboarding. So I invented a trick. I can't say I've ever seen anyone do this trick. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody's done it before, but I don't care. I documented it, and it's going up here right now for proof. I'd like to give Brandon major props for filming such a ground-breaking maneuver. Without further ado, I bring you "The BibbSpin".
Click the pic. Go ahead, click it.

First!!!!

Ha ha, I got first on this one! Oh wait, this is my own blog, of course I'm first. Go figure.
