GUNS AND NUNS

Go see Bob and the Guns crew. Tip one back in Ralph's memory while you're there too. Still one of the best bars in Wormtown.

Hey, I was sending you all an invite to a show at Ralphs July 12th.
I booked a great ska/punk band from Lowell called In The Face, a Boston Dj- Roots and Razors who plays old punk and roots ska music, of course Guns of Navarone will be playing, and headlining will be Jason James, a rockabilly band. There will be old hot rods there as well.
See you there. Bring your friends it will be a fun night in Worcester with the sounds from Boston without the drive…

SKATEBORG HITS THE ROAD

SLADE DEATH

The SkateBorg.com guys have been hitting the road hard these days visiting local parks and gathering up different crews to skate with.

NO CAMERA TODAY

Just in...Burton backpacks, Altamont, Thunders, Venture t-s, City decks.

SHOES SHOES SHOES

It's that time of year when the summer shipments of shoes and stuff start rolling into the stores. Fresh off the truck today were a bunch of ES,' Lakai, Globe, and Emerica shoes to start with and more to come. Also Eastern Bikes, Spitfires, Eastern Boarder "east logo" Ogio Plaza packs, and kelly green "east" t-s. Recently we had a drop of Real, Krooked, Anti Hero, Almost, Enjoi, Dark Star, Blind and Speed Demon decks. Check it...

WHAT NOT TO DO

I just can't stop laughing..I know to laugh at someones pain is cruel but ....


...and they just keep filming....

R.I.P.

Sad news on the front today. "Zippy" has sadly taken her last breath. My 6yr olds dwarf roborovski hamster was snuffed out when it's plastic "hide out" had it's lid put back on and left "to play in it." I'm sure Zippy had a blast until the air ran short and the lights went out. Life has weird little lessons when you're a child. Hopefully Zippy is enjoying her new mini hamster wings. Sniff sniff.....

Mondays update. A shiny new " Ziggy" has become a replacement...all is well again. The "hide out" (bottle) has been delt with. Zippy is now in the business of growing roses.

FITCH SKATE CAMP

SAFETY BOY

Conor Hobbs survives being shot by Party Marty. That 10' 1/4 pipe is soooooooo sick. I love the sketchy shit...Conor has a degree that specializes in "safety" ....Look at the EBMX blog for other sketchy photos.

EURO DOT

If you're bored this weekend cross the Atlantic and go to Innsbruck Austria to check out the prime tagging going on over there. Or just look at the pics.

Dan C is a winner

NORTHAMPTON EVENT

Go Skateboarding Day event. There will be things going on all over the place but if you're a Northampton park fan you might want to join them for the day. "Killer" flyer.

GET OUT AND SKATE

It's really nice outside. Go look.

EASY FIX

Funny how people complained when it was $2.33
Problem solved.

SKATE TEAM DAN C.

Another one in the books for Dan Carreiro..1st place and a few bucks heavier in the wallet.

RED BULL DIRT PIPE

Red Bull does it again....

GAME ON

Hurray for BBQ season! When school gets out in a couple weeks we'll be sure to get something going here on the side of the shop. Stay tuned and dial in your tricks for now. "Eat steak eat steak it's a mighty good food, eat steak eat steak when you're in the moooooooooooo d." ( no cows were harmed during the making of this post ...... playing a game of S.O.Y. or T.O.F.U. simply wouldn't have made any sense.)

EB SNOW TEAM

Nick Francke had the shovel working overtime again this winter constructing some rather large features for a few events. Wicked big bootahs dude....siiiiick.

DEEZ TEEZ ARE NEW

EAST T's are back along with the old Black Flag logos.

HILL BOMB

Longboards and replacement longboard wheels are back in stock. Man up for a steep hill bomb or head up to Hampton and cruise for chicks at the beach bro. Sector 9, Arbor, Abec 11, Surf One, Randal R-2 180 and 150's. Shaka....

MOPED COUNTRY

With the country complaining about the rising cost of gas and travel, I figured I'd post this trip that a few guys in the extended EB family took last year. Nick, Kevin, and Toms moped trek to raise money towards the fight against cancer would be the ideal middle finger trip to the fuel costs for anyone looking to do something like it. Check their site for pics and video clips http://www.mopedcountry.com

The Basics: Moped Country
When: July 5th, 2007 (7:45 pm) – September 5th, 2007 (8:30 pm)
Where: San Francisco, CA –> 4,400 miles zigzagged across the U.S.A. –> Burlington, VT
Who: Nick Girard and Kevin Corkrum on mopeds, while Tom Sands documented the journey in our Scion Support Vehicle.
What: 2008 Tomos Sprint Mopeds and a 2008 Scion XB Support Vehicle
Why: Why not!? Cause we are insane? For the fame? For the cash money? Not really, it was for the experience and to raise money for the fight against cancer.

Sponsorships:
Heritage Automotive Group, Burlington, VT
S.D. Ireland Cancer Research Fund, Burlington, VT

HEAVY METAL ART

Plasma cut artwork made from anything like car doors, dumpsters, shovels, wheelbarrows and more. Absolutely worth a look for anyone with appreciation for something different. Feed your brain with something besides the latest rail trick. Look at the site

Spada has been on a filming mission lately.. He is running an HD set up and it looks pretty rad.. Check out this quick edit from a session at Fitchburg Park a few days ago...
