GAMES OF SKATE!!!!!!


Yes, after a good month of doing nothin I finally got off my ass and made some dates for the games of SKATE as well as some winter travel plans. It was shaping up to be a boring and lonely winter with all my friends goin to warmer places and others just not being around, so I decided to do somethin about it instead of sitting on my couch with Leo.
Anywho the first game is FRIDAY DEC. 19th at 6pm, it is 5 bucks to play and that gets you in on some games, food, drinks, the JORDAN VIERRA dvd premier, and a special WORSHIP event to that you have to see firsthand. Everything Worship will be on super sale so if you are in the market for a new deck or some new worship clothing, this will be the night to get it. The second game is the day after x-mas, friday dec. 26th at 6pm, we are having a super huge storewide sale and ofcourse the last game of skate in 2008!!!! So come check it out
Your favorite buddy Ben Stone will be holdin down the fort while I am away for a week in Jan and a week in Feb, so come on in and give him the same headaches you all love to give me....ha

OLD GUY JAM



Eric "Earl" Hennessey

Thanksgiving

Although one tradition has ended, that being the reheated leftover turkey dinner i get on Thankgsgiving at 9pm every year which somehow always has sweet potatoes on it no matter how many times i say i don't like them, Another tradition came back... The Thanksgiving day ride. It was the perfect holiday treat for the kid who was missin out on Family and others. Big thanks to Paulywag for lettin me rip the 450 around and to Hanks for being open on Thanksgiving and getting a hot dinner. Here's a few pics....

T R A I L S


The roots of bmx lie within the piles of dirt we jump over. Go ride some trails, help dig, and find out whats it's all about. Sometimes you spend alot of time digging the last jump to make it perfect just so Dan can come along and sprocket case the shit out of it. This was my Sunday, check out Erics page at trailsrule Thats it for now enjoy!!
