Heath Kirchart is a very odd guy, and an amazing skateboarder. if any of you kids are too young to really know about Heath's career i highly suggest you invest some time in youtube in the near future. start with one of the best skate parts ever right HERE.
without further ado, Heath's curtains part from mindfield.
Free to watch, and perfect quality! Standard Films have been around forever. My first snowboard movie was TB8, after watching that a trillion times, Travis Parker became the coolest snowboarder out there. Anyways, check out some talented riders in the free episodes of The Standard Show on Hulu.com (Click the Picture to be directed to episodes, or CLICK HERE)
Here you will notice a nice truck with a start ramp in the bed which belongs to Zac Marben. You may also notice the Mpls fire department putting out the fire in the upstairs apartment right above where Zac lives. Crazy Shit. Luckily Zac is safe.
Best wishes go out to Zac. Hope everything is a-ok.
Girls, guns, driving the open road, American flags, and Johnny Walker. Sounds good don't it? Okay.... to some it might not. But, you need to know that some of the greatest music comes from these things. In the 1950's rock music came a rockin' round the corner with big names Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Bo Diddley and Jerry Lee Lewis all hailing from the Deep South. Then, in the mid 60's the British Invasion came rushing to the number one charts along with psychedelic rock. This was the new rock music coming out of London, Liverpool, NYC, LA, and San Francisco. After all that, in the late 60's, groups like CCR (California) and The Band (Canada) found interest in southern rock roots and reinvented the wheel.
In the 1970's Southern Rock really hit big. Bands such as The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels Band, ZZ Top, .38 Special, The Black Crowes, Molly Hatchet, and many more. If it wasn't for the life of guns, broke white skin lifestyle, Whiskey, trucks, dirt and chicks, well, we might not have all the great music we have today. (Not to mention ALOT of the best blues music came from the south too!) Here are some of my favorite southern rock songs.
Transworld just posted the top 5 most watched parts of 2009. 1817 coming in hot took spots 3-5. Joey, Jake, and Ethan holding it down all across the board. click the photos to revisit their parts and see the full post.
Ethan is featured in Transworld's top 5 tricks of 2009. i think his official trick is listed as "outta nowhere rail skills" and they think he's regular not goofy. which means they can't tell either way, which i suppose is a good thing.
either way, click on his ugly mug to see what other tricks made the top 5.
i had the wonderful oppertunity to join the Lake Effect Posse for SHOP WARS at Wild Mtn, the team consisted of Morgan, TJ, Sean, Alex, Patty, and myself. We won the first round, strickly by executing great style with a variety of grabs and aerial manuevers. Then we were robbed in the semifinals due to our lack of commitment to extreme competeive snowboarding, but all in all it was a fun time, and we won the award for best time had.

Here are 12 of the best movies this time of year, you should maybe think about watching one if you haven't seen it, or watch it even if you have seen it!
This Tuesday I bring you death!!! Well, not really, but if you don't know about the famous "27 club" then know this. Some of the greatest musicians in time shared death in one particular way, and thats the age they died at. The most popular names I hear are Janis Joplin, from Big Brother & The Holding Company, who died from a heroin overdose; and Jimi Hendrix, from The Jimi Hendrix Experience, who died from choking on his own vomit after an overdose of sleeping pills.
A few others you may not have known are Jim Morrison, from The Doors, who died from heart failure; (although no autopsy was performed) Kurt Cobain, from Nirvana, who died by shooting himself with a shotgun; Brian Jones, Rolling Stones founder, and guitarist, who died by drowning in a swimming pool.
The first musician recorded to the "27 club" was one of the greatest blues players of all time, Robert Johnson, a very influential bluesman, (you can here the style and technics ALOT in Keith Richards and Eric Claptons music) who died from strychnine poisoning.
I stopped by a classic Minnesota rail the other day to cheer on some friends. Ricky, Jonas, Keegan, and camera dudes Carlino and Riley were stacking footy in front of some smooth clouds while discussing the benefits of White Castle and the aftermath of Keegans dog dodge a few days back in Denver.
Jonas wanted to know what the rail felt like while sliding it.
