nice progressing boneless

the town where I live has quite recently decided to build a skatepark which is kinda sad for me, been wanting it for years and now when Ive quit bmx and my bike is a total mess they proceed.
theyll build about 10 different spots around town and then they were talking about some 1500sq.meter skateplaza indoors which sounds kinda nice.
boneless maby whane come here when plaza is ready? =)

Best game of S.K.A.T.E. i know of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HldvqaHRI6Y (Donovan Strain vs Eric Koston Rematch)

Improved a bit since last time i posted here, i can add to my trickbook the following: shove-its in pretty much any stance, fakie bigspin, fakie kickflips, heelflips occasionaly, oldschool kickflips, varial kickflips with way more style and consistancy.

Next goals would be:
- 360 flips
- nose grinds
- bigspins (normal stance)

Saying "X" is the best skater is kinda hard to say for me.

Rodney Mullen invented what is modern skateboarding (Ollie, kickflip, varials, etc.) so i guess he deserves to be mentioned. But Mullen, to the best of my knowledge, can't do vert (or not much) and doesn't do much gaps.

Best skateboarders in my opinion (no order):
- Rodney Mullen
- Chris Cole
- Mike Vallely
- Tony Hawk
- Dennis Busenitz
- Heath Kirchart
- Torey Pudwill
- Paul Rodriguez
- Daewon Song

so many others

Rodney Mullen is like the pioneer or first one to do street.. he has invented all the basic tricks and millions more :O but yeah he's more or less just street. I think he has a weird skating style.. maybe a bit goofy but he's sick when it comes to freestyling-. that's for sure :D

I started making webisodes about my home towns skateboard scene, that are in conjunction with my friend's magazine... right now the videos are showing what we skate in the middle of winter in canada. As I make more I will try to remember to edit this post. I made them with a bunch of random humour included.
Edit: None of the skateboarding is me, im the filmer and editor.

So, been riding the same setup for almost 3 years (i know, ridiculous isn't it) so just bought myself a whole new board, wheels, bearings and so on. Always loved Alien Workshop's board designs so i finally got one of theirs (second one on the page, "Taylor Road Robot Mache" ).

Also managed to do a couple new tricks yesterday, got some fakie kickflips (good looking ones), fakie heelflips and halfcab heelflips.

My skater of the moment: Josiah Gatlyn

Recruited at the Berrics
Part in Who We Are

He's crazy good, got the best looking heelflips i've ever seen and some crazy treflips. Absolutly love the guy.

Also you might want to watch Mike Mo Capaldi's First Hand video, made me appreciate him even more than i already did.
Part 1 (graphic forearm (wrist) injury)
Part 2
