Fred Gall was a special guest on the trip last spring.
Now it’s time to vote to crown the Gypsy King,
so vote for Freddy here

you are the apple of my eye?

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

i made another venture into a forest this weekend heads!!! instead of into a mass of giant buildings and grimy street forest, it was more into an apple orchard of a forest. i was planned to be kidnapped by a couple of close friends to the shelter, suz the librarian and foamy tony. tony went back to when he was a little kid and was foaming at the mouth for all the delicious apples we picked. suz is the greatest lady ever! shes so funny, adn she lets out little toots too. plus i got a visit from matty fisher this past week. thanks to him i got some bread and some grandma shoes and had a beautiful young lass make me a delicious pb and j sandwich! oh! and i got to share some delicious apple cider doughnuts with some more pretty college girls when i returned from applepicking. steer clear of rotten apples kids……..

Post Surgery

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Whats up kids… just wanted to shed some light on the lastest and greatest thing to happen in my “Charmed Life”…I had some bone chips taken out of my ankle last week, to help with some pain that I have been dealing with for the past year. So hopefully this will help. I should be back in action by Nov. Also I’m going to Cali and driving home with my sister so I’ll try and post updates with some photos along the way…ps I’m moving to Brooklyn to become a rapper…so wish me luck.

little bunnies visit the big city

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

with gordon and i being away at college….. kollege, us young stunnas started to miss everyone. hair and falco came by suny purchase over the weekend and stayed with me and we all went into the city with a friend i met at school. gordon and i made plans a while ago to meet up and skate and with corin also getting schooled in the city, there was a perfect spot to meet up, we got some shredding done and got to see eachother. it was a great change of college life back to a little bunny excursion into the big city. the visit was great for me since i haven’t ever been to the city! well, everyone back home stay hesh, its much too fresh for me to handle here….

Upstate Field Log

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

In case you havnt checked it out, Habitat recently put up a field log of some upstate footage from when they were in Albany and Buffalo a few weeks back.
Some of the tricks are ABD’s (check out Bova in the new Shine on 90 flick – premiere Sept 28th!), but its all love because it’s all homies!
Besides, the new dvd Inhabitants premieres on Halloween, and it’s gonna be one of the raddest vids in years!

Pac Sun down, Zumiez to go

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

So Trevor sent me this camera phone photo today of the Clifton Park Pac-Sun store.
Looks like they arent doing so well after an actual skateshop opened up 2 months ago, 2 doors down from them

not saying were stoked on anyone losing a job, but
were stoked that Clifton Park skate rats know whats up when it comes to knowing who and where to support with their skatebucks.

We’ve gone Digi!

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

No more analog action.
Since everyone else has a blog, it’s about time we got ours.
With a bunch of the team homies doing their thang thang, this makes it easier for everyone to keep in touch, and to let you know about new stuff in the shops, or events at the park.

More importantly, it opens up chances for us to communicate with our community – YOU!
This whole interweb thing will be a learning process for all of us, so please be patient, and definitely don’t be afraid to hit us up with comments to let us know what your thinking. (On a side note – In order to keep the spamming down, your first comment after you register will have to be approved. After that comment away.)
We’ve got tons of rad stuff coming up at the skatepark, up at the Clifton Park shop, and some new changes to the website – so definitely check back often.
