Shop Doggin’
Everyone, meet Bowser. Bowser, meet your fans.
Owned by our friend Casey Macgraw… meet Wednesday. This dog has way better posture than I do…
Gerry (with the tree) and Gnarly Trey (trying to pierce his ear with an ornament) came by a few days ago to decorate a tree and get the holiday vibe going:

…and a related note to the photo… Gerry just graduated from Southeastern! It goes to show you can rip it on a skateboard and still be an intellectual. Congrats, Gerry! We’re seriously stoked for you man!
…in case you missed it, Koston was in the Thrasher Photo Issue, killing the ‘Coop:

…more recently (but from the same visit), we have one Mr. Schaaf cranking out some crail madness in this Skateboard Mag ad:

Seriously, who’d have ever thought Hammond would be the backdrop for stuff like this? We’re on the map for sure, and these are the gravy days.
Off the top of my head, I think this is the second “Greg’s Pic O The Week” by Tony, but staying true to form, Greg’s in the photo (as he was the last time this happened) so it still counts. Tony can take some mean-ass photos, and I think this is a great example.
Sometimes videos of the bowl at Dreamland don’t do the big wall (pictured below) justice… that thing’s pretty gnarballs, as is the trick that Gregory’s dancing on the lip with. The trick is a backside crail grind, which in and of itself is sick on it’s own. With crails, you’re not just touching the board, you’re actually wrapping yourself up with… yourself (I don’t know how else to explain it). Personally, I think frontside’s way easier but Greg’s down to risk his shiznizzle because deeply entrenched in his skate perversion he finds it fun. Hells yeah. As always, click the pic for a big fat version. Oh, and yes, this is pic is up way too late… which is my fault. If you decide to sue me, keep in mind that it’s impossible to squeeze water from a rock.

Greg with the massiveness!
First of all, I want to personally thank Jonathan Burkett (w00t w0000t) for coming through and hooking all of us up with a great scan of the Transworld article featuring the Fourstar crew traveling through the south, New Orleans and our very own Hammond included. One of the best surprise visits ever!
