Man this deluxe stuff is very exciting.  All those dudes are coming and I'm trying to get a special celebrity appearance out of cards but we'll see.   We're gonna have a best trick/board release party on the Saturday night session before.  Then the adult themed after party will spill over into the beer splattered walls of Kung Fu Tap & Taco for those of you who are of age.  I expect to hang out with your dad again bryce so let him know!  Sunday will be the signing at the shop and demo at the rink as normal.

 

Baker/Dwish, Girl, Zero, Alienworkshop, and now REAL.

 

All these guys have come to des moines because of SUBSECT.  If you don't support our shop you're kookin' it, yeah you too dipshit.

 

Get to the demo because peter ramondetta is way better than you think.

Well congratulations mr. Fancy pants!  Chris schnell is the newest member of the Subsect team.  Kever came up with the idea that if he winthr urbandale contest he could get on, but if he didn't he would have to wait another year to try to join Scotty, Tsloan, and those guys who moved to California.  He was stressed out to say the least but came through like the champ that he is.  So he won, he's on, and Kever put his ass to work that night at the to rink, check the photo chris is sweatin' his ass off for us.

It's a week and a half away, can you believe it?  The real dudes are coming  and we can't wait to have them.  DLX in general has been Subsect's number one company for years now so it's about time we got them here.  If you go to their site you'll see they're doing two demos....one in Chicago and one here in DES MOINES I hope everyone shows they're appreciation by coming out to skate south on the 25th to watch these guys rip.  AND on Saturday night we're having a best trick contest on the new stuff that Kever built where you can win one of these new Subsect/ Real collab decks.

 

Bottom line there's only one real skate shop in town that REAL SKATeBOARDs works with, no pun intended.

 

P.S.  How sick is this graphic?

I know in the past I've updated stuff and it comes off as cocky, arrogant, over confident, whatever you want to call it...I mean saying that we're the only real skateshop in town knowing there actually are other places you can buy skateboards at can leave a bad taste in our competitors' mouths as well as their customers who shop with them.  But the bottom line is this: we are the only real skateshop in town, skater run, skater owned.  I mean if you were buying a car would you go to walgreens and get the "cheapest" one?  Fuck no you wouldn't.  So why do it when you're buying your skateboard?

 

Now let's all take a deep breathe an get ready to scream your lungs out when the REAL skate team rips skate south next Sunday.  Brought to you by  a ReAL cocky guy from Subsect.  You must be thinking, "man this guy really thinks he's something.  Well I do.". The first person who goes in and tells kevin whose interview that's from gets one of the new spitfire collab shirts! It's old, that's your only clue.

 

 

And don't forget the best trick contest/board release party at SKATESoUTH Saturday night!!!!

Flip video is in stock, but who cares the Real teams gonna be here in 5 days.

 

Heath kevin and I were talking and decided that jeff should NOT be allowed to come to the demo.  He's been a ReAL thorn in our side as far as the demos go.  He claims that nobody cares and that we shouldn't waste our money on demos, but screw him right?  Anyway, he found out about the demo and now he's coming uninvited.  The problem is he's not allowed at Kever's because he hogs all of the cookies kristy makes us.  Is there anyway someone will let this guy stay at their house?

 

Ps he's too cheap to get a hotel room

Where to start, man I really don't know.  It's 6:20 am in the airport Monday morning, the weekend as a whole was a huge success.  I mean it wasn't the biggest turn out ever...it fell on a Sunday which is a bigtime curveball for most out of towners but those of you who were motivated enough to hang out at the signing and got to sing happy birthday to big Ern were laughin' your asses off.  1st it wasn't his birthday, 2nd lisa made an amazing collab graphic cake just like the new shop deck collab, and 3rd we put a number "5" candle on the cake to signifi his height not a a candle signifying his age, classic, we love that little guy.  Next the demo, and oh what a demo it was.  All I can say about peter ramondetta is "I told you so.". How sick was he?  Countless tricks...regs, switch, he has it all.  Then the mildmannered sweet heart from minneapolis Davis torgenson was nothing but a young gun with fresh legs throwing today's latest and greatest new tricks out with ease.  Big ern brought his usual flair but threw in a kickflip front 50/50 on the handrail for good measure, and I love how he can do nose manual nollie flip out EVERY time! Dennis was supposed to fly home before the demo but he changed his flight when I pleaded with him at how much all of you guys would be bummed to not see him rip skatesouth apart, so he stayed and did.  Dennis feels more at home ripping in mayhem so his demo started when the demo ended ripping with all of you guys in the carnage.  Oh and did I mention the wizard yet?  Heath went on a filming trip to Atlanta years ago where he skated with grant Taylor for the first time and a kid they called the wizard, now known as justin brock.  He came home with tall tales of how gnarly this kid was with glasses. As all who attended the demo witnessed "wizard" may be a more appropriate name for him.  Justin KILLED it.  He was ripping so hard he got a kiss from jasper my color commentator who swears she only puts out for guys 26 an up.  Vertwall: frontside pivot fakie, tailblock, bside air, and a perfect blunt fakie to top it off.  Jumpers got crushed with trebombs, frontbigs, and frontbigheels.  Handrail??? Forget about it.  I think you get the picture.

 

Blue collar skate heroes came to YOUR shop and YOUR park and if YOU had half a brain you were in attendance and saw an AMAZING demo, you're welcome.

 

The night ended with ernie shirtless, peter saying "I want to come back" and justin saying "I'll fly myself out here anytime to do a demo for you guys."

 

Thank you an goodnight.
