Chi-Town Off Days

A rare day off in the Windy City – no demos, just two world-class teams let loose on the raw streets!

'We need to get to Uprise, fool ...'

Behold – a genuine skateboard shop!

Good place to catch up on your lifestyle.

Maybe get into a screwdriver or two ...

Later, at this classic meet-up.

Mondo parking block – just add boardslide.

EATO! Right, @koolmoeleo

                                                   

The heaviness of the crew would hit you over and over a few times a day.

Whose brilliant idea was this anyway?

KSL, 180 nosegrind the high metal bit.

Who doesn't like some Chicago hot dogging?

Who BS TS'd it better?

Then Riley changes the contest with the ol' TSKF. Modern times.

And introducing ... Tyler 'Manchild' Pacheco. You can thank me later, skate fans.

Nollie back T.

Actually, let's see that one again.

Big Sciano with the high speed chink-chink. Is that offensive?

Here we go ... what are the rail chompers looking at?

If there's a razor sharp square kinker you know Leo'll be the first one up on it.

Ample crowd support,

Big Glick made it.

Upstaged only by whatever's on Jerry's phone.

Leabres!

Biebel thinkin' about that high ledge tho. 

Lippy!

This is where Big Wheat is at his best ... in the shit!

And then Glick upchucks the hellacious back lip! Wow!

Crowd went wild, of course.

Sciano on crooks.

Plowing it under!

Yung Victor feels it out.

Where I come from, a congrats from a SOTY still means something!

Yerrrr ...

Stevie on that new new.

Then the 'Child battled this smith for a minute.

Sometimes you eat the bear and well ...

Thanks for the day pass at your epic spot, Uprisers! Y'all got a great thing going out there! Thanks so much.
