Saturday Night Special

Chad Kramer - Frontside Pivot

Dan Hetrich - Backside Disaster

 

 

Dan Hetrich - Alley Oop

Ben Geluk - Frontside Smith Grind

Last night Chad had a bunch of old heads from growing up skating in Reading over to the warehouse. One guy I talked to hadn't seen him for 20 years. Pretty fun to see old buddies kicking it again.

Dan, also from Reading, came up from Philly and we re-shot an alley-oop photo that ran for a Skate Jawn article almost exactly 2 years ago. He thought he could "do it better now." Somebody dig up that issue and compare for me?

At one point I was outside and met a dude who randomly came from New York with one of Chad's old Reading pals. He was from Amsterdam and I drunkenly asked if he knew these two dudes I had met over the summer from Eindhoven. I felt like an idiot as soon as the question came out, as if he would know two people out of the entire country.

But it turns out he did. They were friends back in Europe and he hung out with them when they came over to America this summer as well. Small world is right.

 These two sequences  of Chad were taken within like 1 minute of each other. The back lip was first try. First try ever.

Homebase Skateshop's 2013 Halloween Skate Jam

 Homebase put on their 9th and final Halloween Skate Jam at Keck Park in Allentown yesterday. It was a blast...

Andy V blasts one for the haters.

Nick hucks one through the circle board.

First time I've seen John Shanahan skate in person. That boy good.

Berner built a circle board. The world was stoked.

Berner won the best trick contest with this front blunt over and down. Well earned!

I think this was a scooter joke.

Nice work Po.

Nick told me on the way that the course was no big deal because there's grass on either side.

Motorhead ate shit.

More carnage.

Clean up crew.

Product race.

Super fun times. Thanks Homebase!
