Our art guy Chris Gray caught Elmo catching an eye full on Eastern Ave. yesterday. Epic…

Keep it live in the dead of winter…

Most of this has been posted but here is a collection of Braydon’s footage not making the cut all wrapped up in one neat little package.

Grand Rapids homies get YOUnited.

Braydon sent this old collection of Robbie footage over today. Fitting for a post as I spent last night in the HLD feasting on the goodness which is Butch’s and laying my sleepy head upon the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in at City Flats. Sounds like a plug, it’s not. I just really enjoy those places. Props to Holland, MI.

Support Michigan Skateboarding. The decks are strong, shapes are good, and the graphics are clean. You can’t go wrong.

But whatever is going on, I sincerely hope that my favorite MC of all time is doing alright. As played out as the name “Premier” is in the business world (just look in your local phone book and see how many businesses share the same name), when we talked about opening this store over a decade ago we agreed upon it because of it’s meaning, and also because of our love of Gang Starr which of course includes both Guru and DJ Premier. Pure motivation.

Right here in Grand Rapids you could have witnessed the beast known as Sheffey absolutely crushing the grounds that Rosa Parks circle ruined. Thanks to DC’s 7 Zine for reminding me.

A certain employee from the former Lansing store came to visit tonight. Prior to passing out on the couch he made it clear that the following video is one that we all should see.

Unheard from Bacon Skateboards on Vimeo.

Now you get this…A bunch of randumbs. Both inspired by local Grand Rapids friends. The first one comes from our friend Kevin from Boxed Water. I was on gnar town bus tour of Michigan breweries about a month ago and he kept patting his gut and saying “That’s the mating call”. Finally found out where that came from.

The rest comes from our buddy Matt’s blog hellofriendspodcast

This is supposedly not a joke, if that is true it pretty much takes the cake. And if it is? It’s still funny. “Well DJ Arctic makes like, he owns a PC computer. He makes like next level beats, and I basically got like some serious like gangster skill on the mark (mic?)”

One of my favorite songs ever. Set to my youth gone wild…

Dear creator of that video, can you make Big L’s “Size ‘em up” be your next project ?

Oh, and by the way Matt…I appreciated your Casual post, but the following is the best Hiero song of all time. Wish there was an actual video to it but it was the early 90’s and they ain’t no budget for that.

Whatever, I’m like super busy watching My Life as Liz anyways.
