Oven life


Are you serious?!

The Wind Never Blows In Fort Walton Beach

I've found myself living in a small beach community in Northwest Florida. Beach communities don't do anything but cater to tourists. (Retail Hell) It hasn't been easy. Strangely enough my life revolves around what goes on in this one establishment where I find myself working and skating. Sometimes hanging out in the same building for 12 hours a day can make you have mild fits of rage. All I'm trying to say is that there is absolutely no skate scene where I am. I'm trying to tell you to appreciate the fact that there ARE people who are willing to skate with you after work. I see that as a blessing now and I hope you all appreciate having each other to go out skating and get drunk afterwards.













So my friend Tim and I pack millions of boxes in this little room we've named the Hell
Hole. Countless hours of carboard, tape, and all the products that capitalism and skateboarding have in common.













In the summertime the Hell Hole is hot as fuck. My friend Lee and I made this air conditioner duct that runs into the hole. After a long day of playing with garbage that skateboard companies make, we decided to turn it into a dick. I've found happiness turning everything around me into a dick. It makes me feel better.



















Once in a blue moon we film something in the Hell Hole. I thought I could share it with the Cheeseburger.

Supreme Takashi Murakami Decks


Just found out that you can buy these decks on his website http://www.takashimurakami.com/ for about seventy bucks a pop . But the three deck set on ebay is commanding a buy it now of 3,500 with auctions landing usually just shy of a grand. Im just saying, do not hesitate to pick up one of these if you see it randomly. It seems to have a better turnover than bam boards with the new taint hair eighth layer That is just amazing to me.

CONTEST YOURSELF

Ok, seeing as there may be a new skatepark in oklahoma city's future. I have decided to hold a contest to name the spot. Keeping in mind that it will be an all transition park, that being said. throw a couple of names out in the comments section and the winner will get an original signed painting of something weird. get busy.

Stolen from Cracked

I was reading this article on Cracked.com today about 6 technologies that should be dead, but aren't. As always (or usually) the articles on Cracked make me laugh out loud, or LOL, at least once. Hell, sometimes I even LMAO or ROFL. I like Roffeling, it puts me in a better mood.

Anyway, one of the technologies they speak of is magazines. I for one still read magazines sometimes, but I can see where they're coming from when discussing it's uselessness. Just read this excerpt from the article regarding magazines going belly-up:

" As for magazines, two that went bust in just the last year include Life and Stuff--which together should technically cover every subject ever. FHM US, Jane and Child also went under, covering all the bases from "liking tits" and "having tits" to "the purpose of tits." When a titty-triple-threat can't stay profitable there is just no way to make a profit. Trust us, we know. "

Yeah, so, that's good stuff right there. I chuckled a little bit on the line "should cover every subject ever" but the whole "titty-triple-threat" is just fucking hilarious. I'm still laughing a little bit now.

Anyway, that's all I got.

I was gonna post up the Transworld video "And Now..." but it's already been taken down.
Check back later, I'll find it somewhere else. Peace.

Wade Speyer

Ran across this while lurking the web, super good video part.
I always liked Wade Speyer, he is quite the tranny killer.
I think this is from the old Think video "Dedication"...

That's eneff already!


I just saw this shit on 4duos and I am disgusted.
When you go the website it's instantly obvious how wack this company is.
I have lost some respect for the three guys on the left (TK seems to fit here though).
Bullshit. Who would even bother to contemplate repping this company?
"Hmmm, NEFF, yeah that sounds kinda cool..."
NO! It sounds dumb! Dumb! Dummies!

The Ty Evans and Spike Jonze Green Screen Challenge (that I didn't win)

A little while back Crailtap had a contest for their readers which involved footage of Ty and Spike running from a green screen. The contest was to fill in what they were running from. So I figured out how to key out backgrounds and film with a green screen and entered the contest. I thought my entry was so ridiculous I would get a mention if not a win. I thought wrong. 

The 5 winners they selected were definitely good.  I won't link to all of them but you can look under The Randoms at Crailtap for them.

I sent them two entries, one with the dialogue they provided 
and one where I added my own dialogue.
Feel free to comment on how bad they are. 
And yes, I know that my entries are a blatant shameless website promotion.
I was going to do something different but ran out of time.
Too late now though, right?

Baker Has A Deathwish!!! Aaahhhhhhh!!!


Well, the fuckin' Baker has a Deathwish Tour is coming to OKC today. I'm going to the demo with Billy and and the BandiTT, which is kind of gay, but fuck it. Their team is sick. But seriously, I'm 29 and Billy and BJ are over 30, so at some point it becomes kind of fucked that 30 year old men are going to go watch someone skate. At this age you really don't give two shits about watching anyone skate, it's all about just doing the skating yourself. Oh well, I've said it before and I'll say it again: Fuck it.


I can't wait to go up to Andrew Reynolds and be like,
"Hey man, remember when you came to OKC with Kirchart, Appleyard and Lenoce back in the Birdhouse days? Remember the party me and my friends had at our house and we bought a keg and you guys got to experience some of the weirdness that is Oklahoma City? And remember how that one dude from Bootleg was Birdhouse team manager at the time? Before you guys all started the Baker Bootleg thing? What was his name? Oh yeah, J. Strickland, that's right. Remember that? That was cool huh?"

I also can't wait to go up Dustin Dollin and be like,
"Hey man, remember when you came to OKC with Bam Margera and Jaya Bonderov on a Volcom tour? This was like way before you were even pro. Remember how we skated my friend Gabe's mini-ramp in his backyard and Bam showed us that videotape of weird footage that would eventually evolve into the CKY video? And remember how I lived with those two chicks and we let the band that you guys were touring with play a show in our living room? What was that band? Oh yeah, the Line, that's right. And remember how Lance Dawes was there too and him and Bam were running around my house pretending to be pro wrestlers while the band was playing? That shit was pretty funny huh? Yeah man, cool. So do you remember me or what?"


I can't think of anymore potential pros/victims for my "Remember when" attacks, I don't think I've met...oh wait.


I can't wait to go up to Jim Greco and be like "Hey man, remember when you and Reynolds and Willy Santos and whoever the fuck else came to OKC like a super-duper long time ago, and you guys did a demo at Boards and Blades, and you were just a normal looking dude with baggy pants and like a curly afro or some shit? Remember when you were standing there waiting to go and I was like, 'hey man what's up' and you were like 'hey dude what's up' and then you went and did a 5-0 grind or something? You remember that right? So what's up with Johnny Thunders? You like him or something?"


Just kidding I would never say shit like that. But it made me laugh when I was typing it.

And I could keep going on because I remember a bunch more things but I'm over this post already. I'm sure you are too. Good day.

Ardmore Regional SK8 Park

I was fortunate enough to take a journey to Ardmore, Oklahoma last weekend, where they have recently built a cement park. Not sure who designed it, but it's pretty good. Some weird pieces here and there, that's what I like. Sick of that cookie-cutter shit. Anyway, who cares about that.

At one point I'm chillin' in the parking lot with a tallboy because it's 97 degrees outside and I saw one of the locals walking across the parking lot towards the skatepark. And he was yelling "Heyyyyy Mommm, where's Grandmaaaaaa?!!!" I thought that was hilarious.

Here's Drew's clips from that day.

Toon Town Bike Crawl 2008


Oh yeah, i forgot to mention i recently returned from Canada and brought back some stories to share. I'll start with the most recent one, so....the last night in town me and the homies went on a bike crawl and ......well, just check out this link.
Bike Crawl 2008

Homies in the City


Check the Camel Toe yo! Produced by the Johnson Bro's...I used to run with the oldest one JJ, back in the day. He's got a younger brother that lives and skates the OKC. Anyways, He's been rip'n forever. I've got the promo on DVD but havent figured out a way to put it up. I guess some stills wouldn't hurt.

All throughout the video are good spots get'n wrecked.

I don't know how many Cheeseburger readers out there have skated this ledge, but it's harsh before and after. Not to mention a bus bench in your way as soon as you land. I know somebody had to put in work for this one. Sick.

The rest is yet to come. Get a copy to my hands soon dudes. Be sure to check it out if you come across it.

Hyperdunk Mania

You know what? Upon closer inspection of the Nike Hyperdunks as seen in the link below:

link

i've decided these shoes are actually pretty badass. But worth $2,750? Not even with Kobe's signature. But still check the details in that guys ebay auction, they are actually worth the price of a normal un-hyped shoe. Buuuuut we all know that's never going to happen. Oh well.

Say Whaaaaaa???

Remember how awesome Back to the Future was?


How about Back to the Future 2? I thought part two was the shit. Some people I know say it was the worst one, but that's just nonsense. Everyone knows part 3, set in the wild west, was the worst one. I mean, it was good, but it was definitely the worst of the 3. Anyway, whatever.


Nike went and made 350 pairs of the motha-fuckin' shoes from Back to the Future II. Yes that's right. They don't have the power laces but they're still pretty tight. Read the article.


So they're not really that close to the original ones as you can tell from the pics below.







You know what? I think the only similarities in these is the heel tag and the tops of the shoes. Considering what they're going for on ebay, that's just a damned shame. I'll hold out for a pair of the originals.

rookie!

found this under a rock on the interwebnet ,enjoy.

i am Satan. but, i'm coming to terms with it. check out what i found. this is good.

to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company- Mark Twain

I have to share this...

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term.

The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, and via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct....leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a Divine Being which explains why last night, Teresa kept shouting, "Oh My God".

We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell- Oscar Wilde
