Bajeebas went to see Mike V at Charm City last week. It was tubular. Mike and Duane Peters going off hucking some niceness. Since Charm is kinda like a labyrinth with different sections every where I wondered if Duane disappeared to another part, perhaps over where the half pipe is. But I think he just went to the tour bus. Vallely and Svitak kept raging though. The item that got worked the most was wall ride at the far side of the street course. I never saw anyone session that thing so much. Christian had some 5-0's at the top. Mike V did some wall ride to disaster, and wound the night up with a sick boneless 360 from the top. He ate shit about a dozen times trying that trick and finally stuck it. Dudes were gettin raw!!
They featured my run at the MASS competition in Olney on the concrete disciples page. Check out the video at the bottom. I'm at the five minute mark!!
Here's the link!

(MASS) Mid Atlantic Skate Series
Ooooh it was a hot day on Saturday! Lots of heat and still lots of stoke! Your ol' pal Bajeebas was even a judge for an event when I wasn't competing myself of course. I've been pumped ever since the event and it is two days later. I may have fractured my hand but I can still play drums and piano so there is no need to go to the hospital. I just can't put a lot of pressure on it. the bottom corner aches like a sumanumbeeotch!
SO! I had the honor of judging the 40+ category of pool skating which was insane! It was really hard to judge such legends as Mike Mapp, Bob Pribble, Umbel, BOO, and Dan Brown! Boo secured first place with his gnarly forever run in the deep end. Hitting coping back to back with laybacks, tail-blocks, front and backside airs and super power in general. Dan Brown had insane invert variations in the deep-end. Mike Mapp lit the pool on fire and scared little children with his fierce expressions while slashed the F#$K out of the place. Umbel had back to back stand up grinds in all three bowls of the pool, shallow, medium, and deep. Pribble went off grinding the death box, yanking front side airs, slashing, and squeezing out a crazy boneless in the deep-end.
The most notable skater of the day, in my opinion, was Jake Hilbish. At the tender age of 17 this kid placed in the top three of several events of the day. Advanced street, was insane! I thought he blew his knee out in the middle of his run but it was just a severe cramp. Pool for Jake was even more insane! He did lien to tail, big ol' 360, huge airs, stalefish, and grinding everywhere. Jake even pulled a blunt to fakie inside the deathbox! Jake even had the nerve to compete in the longboard event.
Jake should be a pro! And so should you!

Bajeebas was in true form during the most intense event of the evening! The last pool competition of the day. Ages 18 - 39. Fueled by Red Bull, Fried chicken, and lots of watermelon I broke the sound barrier as I carved every inch of that monster pool. Taking a pause to ease into a smith stall, heading to the deep - end for mean powerslide ten feet up the wall all the way across the tiles. Floating lofty airs and laying into 50 - 50's the whole way around the shallow faster than I ever did before. I was truckin aso fast in the jam with my DEFSTICK BEARINGS that my body went faster than my board at the end and I pitched straight to the flat. That shook me pretty good. I think this is where I broke my hand, but fortunately, the body is miraculous and heals!
It was a great day! Hopefully the next stop on the tour in St Mary's county won't be 110 mother F#$King degrees!
coming up tomorrow is the Glory Bound Tour with Mike V. Check out the website, and see wher it is coming near your neighborhood. Should be awesome!!

Bajeebas @ Charm City
I rode my skateboard last night at Charm City skate park. I spent my time mostly in the bowl but I went over to the spine ramp a few times. I love skating that spine even though I got my worst injury ever on that thing. Broke my ankle so bad my foot was twisted around completely backwards! Nasty! Nauseating! Last night was good though. No serious injuries. I found out some pros are coming around soon!

Yep! Mike V, Duane Peters, and some other heads are gonna put on a demo in a couple of weeks. Should be dope. I've developed an interest in Mike V over the past couple of months because I am subscribed to his channel on Youtube and he posts some pretty rad stuff very regularly. I know most people just think about him as the dude who gets in fights but I like the way that aggression translates into his skating. Also, probably because he comes from an older batch of riders when skating was gnarly, less tech, more power, just straight rippin!!
So I was cleaning up my frontside grinds around the corners in the bowl. I got some standard frontside airs way out of the hip. When I do those it's like time stands still. Threw a good board-slide into my run and managed to squeeze out a quick foot plant. Everything was perfect until right at the end my board bashed me right in the same spot at the base of my right achilles. It didn't hit me very hard but it hurt like hell so I called it a night. I got in three solid hours of gnarl, so I was happy.
