EMBASSY 5 year party

There is an article in today’s “Other Paper” about Embassy. Written by Wes Flexner it discusses the history of the shop and it’s importance to the Columbus skate scene…

Also make sure you head over to Skullys tomorrow night for the Embassy 5 year anniversary party (un official) Comfest afterparty...

Taken from the Columbus alive:
Friday: Sweatin' presents Embassy Boardshop five-year anniversary party with Cornelius Jackson & Freaky Franz, Second City Rhythm (Adulture & Ghosts of Venice), Johnny Cashola

To celebrate five years of Embassy Boardshop, Sweatin' has assembled one of the stronger hip-hop and electronic lineups in recent memory. You've got Johnny Cashola of the famed Get Right hip-hop party. Then there's Second City Rhythm, a frenetic Chicago disco duo featuring Columbus expat Adulture (Garrett Shrigley) and the UK's Ghosts of Venice (Lee Dunn). Topping things off is deejay Cornelius Jackson with emcee Freaky Franz, a pair of talented roomies who seem to be everywhere at once - on the road, in the studio, at the club and around the skate park.

GSD 2011 iPhone edit

Here is an edit I made from Go Skateboarding Day at Skate Naked... it's pretty bare bones, just tricks basically.. I kind of hate filming during contests. It's not pretty but a lot of good tricks were landed..

Go Skateboarding Day 2011


So as you know, today is Go Skateboarding Day! and for the second year in a row Skate Naked is hosting a big party / contest. I'm not totally sure but it might be free to get in..you might want to call first to find out. There are a ton of prizes.. Embassy Boardshop, Alien Workshop and Habitat are the main sponsors... ALSO park local James Weber purchased a $500 gift certificate from Embassy to give away as well as some Insturment decks. He wanted to do it and no one could talk him out of it! I guess he just really wanted to stoke everyone out... The contest is scheduled to start sometime between 3 and 4 PM. aferwards the plan is to get everyone together critical mass style to skate from the park through the streets of downtown and back. Should be a great time.

Also, I've heard that the Flow skatepark on the eastside is holding a free skate session in honor of GSD.

So basically you have no reason not to go skating at some point today!

Early June Edit

Here is a new edit I made comprised of a couple clips of Stuart and Austin skating at the Campus park last week. The rest is pretty much all from a trip that myself, Austin, Taylor, CJ and Gabe took yesterday to the Canal Winchester park. We ended up staying there for about 3 or 4 hours and they all got a ton of good tricks. Gabe freakin' killed the ledge.
