Gotta Love Craigslist!
So i was on craigslist looking for old skateboards and came up on this gem...please read the description and look closely at the pictures..
Description: Like new, only used twice then I got a tear in my knee for the third time and was advised not to skateboard anymore after surgery... I just bought it about a month ago so I hope someone will get some use out of it!!!! Feel free to call Shauna at 401-218-8333 or email me at mouski073@hotmail.com Thanks!!!
Maybe if you didn't put the trucks on backwards as well as way to wide of a truck you wouldn't have split your knee you stupid wench!

Deer Tacos Anyone
I forgot about this photo I shot on the way here. One of the many sights along the way.
Cruising in a not-so-cruising economy
My portfolio is in the shitter, Wall Street is truly fucked and I couldn't be more stressed out over it. On a positive note, here's my new cruiser/filming board. Those are the Indy wide, wide joints to give you perspective.

Any strip clubs out there with Wi-Fi?
Go listen to Austrian Death Machine right now if you know what's good for you.
Females in MMA should be limited to ring-girls. If I wanted to see bitches beating each other bloody, I'd go to Cheaters on a Friday night and throw pennies on the stage.

Always make sure your optics are clear.
Went filming in Provi this past Saturday only to find out later the clips are useless. The lens we were using was absolutely filthy. Everything is out of focus except for the dots of spit, jiz, and beer that encrusted the fisheye. Always make sure your optics are clear.

Shitbag Anatomy: Rob
Torn MCL & Hip Flexors
my first real injury as a youth during my snow skiing days. i know. at least i wrecked so bad that Bode Miller and all the other junior olympians couldn't run the training course for almost an hour.
Broken Nose (x3)
1. punched in the face
2. blindsided by my college roomate
3. giving a drunk piggy back to a girl in jamestown. fell directly on my face in front of 30 people and knocked myself out cold for 45 seconds. refused ambulance ride.
Sprained Right Ankle (x100)
1. got crossed up by a female division 1 college basketball player
2. skating
3. drunk camping accident.
4. body slamming the hero at mcgraw's bachelor party.
Broken Right Ankle
skating behind smitty's, stepped off and rolled it a ton. so much scar tissue from sprains that the ligaments tore a chunk of bone right off. crawled to the phone and called my sister to take me to the ER. she wouldn't park in the red zone and i had to hop all the way across the parking lot. bitch.
Degenerative Disks
can't point to a specific accident for this...just years of beating myself up. but since it became a chronic problem, i've thrown my back out in a variety of embarrassing ways: unstrapping in the lift line, moving an oakley tower, and shampooing my hair.
Torn Labrum/Cartilage Right Shoulder
high school baseball. short armed the throw down to second base gunning down runners. arthroscopic surgery partially repaired it, but my shoulder still hangs up any time i raise my elbow above the shoulder. has since slipped the socket in my sleep, paddling in surf, and opening a window.
Fucked Wrist
my range of motion is limited and it hurts all the time. after landing on it many times, i think i must have broken it at some point.
Bone chips in front elbow
my elbow problems pale to the rest of you, but i did get FUCKED UP skitching a pickup truck on my way home from the bar. I let go in front of my house...instant death wobbles and slammed in front of Civil. Also thought i broke my hand because i high fived the asphault at 40 mph.
Road Rash
too many times.
Impaled on a chain link fence
outran two west warwick cops and was climbing over a huge chain link fence to safety. just as i went over the top and they crashed into the fence. my right arm got impaled on the very top of the fence and i was hanging in the breeze for a few seconds. still got away. repping a heart shaped scar.
Liquor Dick
i was never really any good in the sack but i've really been going downhill in the last year. i've yet to apologize for it. it amazes me that girls still want to have sex with me.

Snow Anatomy: Destructo
Gotta include the riding injuries on this one, they're gnarlier.
1. Torn ACL Free 2 day trip at Snowbird. Come on out ride with Rossi and tell them what you think of their shitty heavy boards. Day 1 I fall into an 8 foot deep hole and have to pop out of my bindings and climb out. Day 2 Gap jump clearing a cat track. Hit this thing 3 times earlier that day and of course last time not enough speed. I go over the bars and full on yard sale my shit all over the trail. Ride switch down the hill and go right to the bar. End of season in January...
2. Elephant Ankle Pop shove it over a manhole cover at the parking garage in Provy. Drove myself to the ER after this one. Oh yeah I have a manual transmission. Doctor said the ligament was so strong it tore a piece of bone off instead of tearing the ligament.
3. Pierced Lip got worked in the park at Jiminy Peak and ended up biting a hole through the inside of my lip. Doctor said it needed stiches so i drove back to RI. Got a speeding ticket on the way home. Doctor goes to stitch me up and tells me I have a fucking cavity too.
4. Pleurisy ??? Tried to keep up climbing Tuckerman's with some fucking survivorman guy. Did a few runs came home fell asleep. Woke up in the middle of the night thinking i was having a heart attack. Couldn't breathe, coughing like a chain smoker. Every time i get a cold now it goes right to my chest.

Skate Anatomy: Bibby
My shit is minor compared to Danchak but here goes:
Head scar - 7 stitches. Was at my friends house in 7th grade. We were fucking around in the woods and saw these dudes we didn't like riding dirt bikes around. We thought it'd be funny to throw some rocks at 'em (instant bad karma). I couldn't find a good one so while I was bent over looking, my buddy tossed me one. I got up at the same time it was coming at me and caught it with my forehead. It was the most blood I'd ever seen. A week later me and a few different friends got caught by the state cops for joyriding in my friend's dad's Cherokee... at 2am on Easter morning. Karma is a bitch.
Skinned elbows and knees. Bombing a hill with Noah when we first started skating. He jumped off but I charged it. Speed wobbles, airborn, skidded on my elbows and knees for about 10 feet. Limped back to his house bleeding and The Voice cleaned my wounds and scrubbed out asphalt with a brush. Good times. Was camping with Noah shortly after that and he thought it would be funny to smack my wounds when I was trying to sleep. Yes, he's always been like that.
Hand blisters. I've been swinging the golf clubs lately after going to the driving range one night on a whim. I actually hit the ball well and was hooked. I hit some irons for the first time last night and it went pretty well. Probably going to try to play a course soon. I think it really ties in well with skating because you have to be patient and keep your form on everything. If the littlest thing is off you're fucked. McGraw we should play next time you're around so I can get some good tips.
Hand/finger arthritis. Sometimes my fingers cramp and feel all fucked. It's from typing and fucking pointing and clicking all day - kicking the Matrix's ass. It's ok though. I'll fuck Neo up.
Back scar. Caught a case of road rash at the Attleboro ghetto skatepark. Was skating down the path to the park and slid out on some sand.
Bruised tailbone. Tried to front board a small handrail at the Wedge skatepark when I was living in Scottsdale. Completely stuck and got pitched straight to the ground back first. Limped to my car and drove home. This was shortly before the D-backs beat the Yankees in the '01 World Series. Fucking Gonzo and his blooper.
Brusied Taint. Trying to frontside flip a 4 stair in the rain. My board didn't flip and just did a rocket landing on the tail and I sat right on it. Don't really like that trick too much.
Slashed Kneecap - 4 stitches. Slid out on a mach-4 BS 50-50 at the Cadillac Lounge up-ledge. Somehow did a split where my front foot stepped to the ground, but my back foot went behind me and smashed my kneecap on the corner of the ledge. I thought it was fine. George Rocha was in town skating with us and told me to lift my pant leg just to be sure. Found a nice open gash that started oozing blood right after that. Justin Kelley told me it looked like "my uterus was hanging out", then proceeded to make me wait 10 more mins before taking me to the ER. He was trying to get a FS 5-0 to FS big spin out up the ledge.
Bumpy shins. My shins are fucked, just like everyone else's I'm sure. If you catch them in the right light you can see all the scars and shit. Not related to skating, but one time when I was little I put a small hatchet into my shin trying to help my dad split wood.
Achilles Tendonitis. My right achilles is fucked too. If don't warm up enough and push just hard enough, it will be sore the whole skate session and into the next day. I read the only way to fix it is to stay off it and let it heal. Fuck that noise.

Got to skate this...
I flew from Expo Saturday morning directly to Rochester, NY for a wedding. I stayed in Rochester for about 20 hours and then flew to JFK. I had long discussions about Bush with my Columbian driver "Juan" from JFK to Commack, NY. I'm out here for another 3 days. It's all good though, because I got to skate this ramp.North Carolina
If you've never been to Bojangles, you're blowing it. Arguably, the best fried chicken sandwich, best fries, and best hangover cure ever invented. Yes Virginia, there were plenty of Newports, Red Bull, and loud music on the ride. A few other highlights of the trip:
getting drunk on a rooftop hotel bar in manhattan. decided driving would be a bad idea and requested a room for the night. jokingly ask the desk clerk if they have a pool. "yes sir, the hudson and east rivers are both within walking distance."
$30 for a carton of cigarettes and drive through liquor stores.
getting drunk and passing out in a hot tub for 2 1/2 hours. when i woke up i was actually freezing in 94 degree water. got out, refilled my beer, lit a cigarette, and nearly collapsed.
listening to a guy bitch about having to spend two weeks in hawaii because he couldn't wakeboard the whole time.
calling the same guy a faggot in front of his wife.
having my good friend make everyone in his wedding promise not to tell me which hotel he was staying in.
finding out the name of the hotel and calling at 11 pm the night of his wedding. i told him "i'm on my way over we're drinking. ask your wife if she wants anything from taco bell."
making exactly one friend out of everyone at the wedding. but when i was getting ready to leave, he watched his girlfriend of 4 1/2 years tell me she was happy to have met me and gave me her business card. slut.
one of the bridesmaids (who obviously didn't know me) gave me the bride's camera to take wedding photos. i only took pictures of myself, the staff, and the men's bathroom.
being encouraged by the grooms father to drink as much as i want the entire week "to liven things up." i guess he wasn't discouraged by my behavoir at his son's first wedding. during the rehearsal dinner i drove a golf cart into a tree and then rolled it over in a drainage ditch. the groom was riding shotgun.
having the bride tell me i lived up to my reputation and the look of disgust on her face.

My hat...
I found this hat at a restaurant. It was an awesome hat, until it had way too much to drink. The hat found itself on top of many people at the bar. That slut. I was jealous, so I took a bottle of Cuervo home and found myself in a pickle around 12:20am. Cuervo, water? Water, Cuervo.

In case you didnt make Stanglez going away party a month ago, this is what you missed! Good Times!
Black Hurricane hits North Cacka!
Today marks the day when Black Lung aka Black Santa aka Black Rob drove off on a mission to North Cackalacka for one of his buddies weddings. Im sure he is in his glory as i write this. Newports, Red Bull, Bojangles, and the Pixies blaring in the Tacoma. This morning he walked outside of the shop taking care of some pre-road trip necesseties. A nice metallic Blue Pro tec helmet, Knee Pads etc..for all the shitty skateparks requiring full pads. We can only wait and see what happens, but if Black is up to his usual self, something like a 3 foot long dildo suction cupped to the newly weds trunk and domes all over the rest of the place will be likely. we will see?w
They're Back!
