First anual skate clinic to be held at The Shelter with guest instructor CURTIS RAPP. Take a look at the flyer and make sure you take advantage of this amazing opportunity!!!!!!
hello everyone, it’s gordon. i made the move to boston to go to emerson college a few months ago, and while the skate scene here is thriving and pretty epic, i still miss the shelter.
tonight was the big habitat skate jam at the chinatown courts. all of the big guns came out and sat on the bleachers while all the weekend warriors of massachusetts did nollie tre flips. if you’re ever in boston and strapped for some gear, go to the orchard, the guys over there are really nice and they’ll treat you right. they hooked it up with some great skate obstacles, for instance, the main attraction was a slab of granite placed on top of some milk cartons. ain’t nothin like the granite back home but you know, nobody’s perfect. anyway, great fun was had and lots of shredding and benihanas went down. mandatory trick remembrance: steve durante was in the house, and he did a really nice switch frontside heelflip over a barrier.
after the skate jam, everyone headed to the other side cafe for the static 3 premiere. the video was great, and the shelter’s own curtis rapp closed the curtains on the friends section with some excellent maneuvers. there was a good amount of albany footage in the video. there was also a good amount of 16mm shots of buildings. actually there were a whole lot of 16mm shots of buildings.
you’d think that the excitement stopped there, but you know, city life is so exciting and everything, long story short the red sox smashed the native americans and the city is currently going bonkers outside my window. i hope everyone back home is doing well, groms practice your kickflips, c.b. and trev save me some gear to come up on when i get home, cam and owen hold the park down, damon hold it down with mookie on the block, curt stay famous, bova i’ll see you soon, hair stay up and stay shred, armin shine on 90 was epic, phillips stay crushin in portland, and marshall i know you’re killing it right now. damn, shout outs galore, i just blew up the spot, can’t post on this for another few months. shoot me an email : gordon_hendrick@emerson.edu

Also got limited amounts of Vans “Syndicate” Half-Cabs. If you don’t know what Syndicate Vans are they’re made out of higher end suedes, and leathers with a sole that molds to your foot, your feet don’t get beat up in em’ as quick…basicaly they’re super comfy and last a tad bit longer. We also got some Era’s, and Neckface TNT II’s in, the gear is just as ill as the shoes, A.V.E. Flannels, Flannel Hoodies, and New Era’s to round your kit off….grips of T’s and stickers with more to come everyday. (tried putting pics up it aint happening the way i want it to)
Well, this had to be one of the best free programs the shelter has ever done. With over 40 kids coming out for the free lesson on Saturday and 10 instructors it really couldnt have gone any better. The boys put on a sick little demo for these kids and parents, you should have seen the looks on some of their faces especially when they got free tee shirts!! THANKS to all the instructors who made this possible!
so i figured out how to write on this blog finally. might not seem like a big deal to most but it kinda took me a while so shut up. i just watched armins shine on 90 for the first time since the premier. armin, good shit man.. john and i were discussing this last night while you slept sitting up in a chair.. you covered all bases and i dont think anyone else would have manned up to the lil tour, the video, the article, and the party to top it all off.. thanks dude. happy bday. got some new vans clothes and shoes, dc gear, dlx stuff.. come to the cp store and say hello.

Shine on 90 is a 17 day roadtrip I took with some Shelter homies, along with some other homies from shops along the way. The trip went from Buffalo to Boston, and we hit up a bunch of cites along I-90 along the way.
I made a video about the trip that will be downloadable from the tour site that goes public on Nov 1st, the same day that the Focus magazine article comes out.
Every shop that carries Focus will get a few copies of the dvd. The shops that played hosts on the tour – The Shelter, The Garden, Sunday, Krudco, and The Orchard – will get 20 copies each to giveaway, so get ‘em before theyre gone.
