Evan sent over a whole grip of sick photos. You may have seen some of them on the Language. Just to keep it interesting I’m only going to post one a day so there will be new stuff on a regular.

Photog’s side notes…

“ty franz wanted to let everyone know he is staying pitted by writing it on his board, did everyone see his bs 3 at congress?”

With a little better style to boot. Riley Hawk video that I stole from Skatedaily.

I was real curious to see how these famous skate kids were gonna turn out. I mean there is the whole Alex/Steve Olsen thing but that doesn’t really count because Steve is one badass dude, and was no longer famous or rich from skateboarding when Alex grew up. I expected more of them to end of pretty lame like Tony Mag’s kid.

Jonathan Pierce. Nosegrind pops. LA. Captured by the ‘Evs.

It’s a dude who can front blunt rails, that’s who. This one is a sensitive black and white photo from the Ionia collection by the artist formerly known as Evan.

And it’s good to have them home because I’m getting a flood of great photos. The WISDA captured this monster of a backside flip that Ty Franz hucked over a street gap in east capital city. BOOO-YOW!

On a side note, Evan e-mailed to tell us that the nose grind banger I posted the other day was actually Jonathan Pierce.

The first photo pretty much summed it up for me. I mean they used english on that sign after all. And a big ol’ red octagon for me to recognize too! I was pretty sure that sign meant we were to stop what we were doing and not climb that fence and shimmy under the bridge

But are you seriously gonna stop when the best log jammer ever lurks just a trespassing crime away?

300 yards of gnarly abrupt tranny starting 100 or so feet above your fall to death over rocks and cascading down to a cool dip. This spot was not a joke! Either that or I am because I got rolled just carving.

Taco Dudes barely escapes a crunch wrap attack.

I snipered Sami’s drop from the top ropes on the Play-Doh cam. If you want to see the real deal you are gonna have to catch Taiska’s photos in the Hang Up Mag coverage of the trip.

You wanna know the greatest thing about less restrictive places? The still have all the same ol’ intimidating signs like this.

Well, that’s not the great thing. The great thing is when security comes out to see what you are doing they don’t tell you to leave. They tell you it’s good that you are using the place for skateboarding because they stopped using it for logs years ago. They are just happy that somebody is using it.

We were on our way out when Esa noticed this ledge on top of the bridge.

Another spot down… Back to the woods for BBQ time.

Big Thanks to everyone who came down to the Game of Skate today. As usual the with the Premier Game, there were a few upsets, Joe Lanenga went out in the first round, and someone went home a whole lot richer. Here are some of the highlights.

Big Dudes

Little Dudes

Homies Chillin

The Coach tested everyone’s set up to make sure it met the tournament regulations

And Jonathon Pierce takes the cake with a Quad flip to Primo stall.

The big winner Jonathan Pierce papered up, and Runner Up Seth Besteman with a Premier Deck

How it all went down.

Evan-na-nana took this whopper of a shot at some spot somewhere and it is freaking gnar-riffic total awesomeness. Justin Melodica nose grizzle pop out. Dang.

From the mile high city. It’s round three.

Our buddy Snow Joker 08′ sent over this e-mail…

“you guys need to quit posting photos of the farmer jack spot in lansing. its getting too much attention so they put in motion detectors its an automatic bust now because dumb ass out of towners drive right up to it so please stop NOW!!”

thanx,

So I guess if you want to skate anywhere in Lansing, you need to contact Marshall Lundberg first and see if it’s all right….
But seriously though. Try to tread as lightly as possible on any spot that you skate….Pick up your trash, don’t graffiti the place up, try to not bother any people living nearby, etc. Hopefully that way we can keep spots skateable as long as possible. Anyway, it looks like Marshall is going to get his wish (at least for now) as today’s photo is not taken at the spot in question. Mister Kight…Nosegrind pop out compliments of the Wis.
