The Mid Atlantic Skate Series came to a close this past Saturday at Nicolet Park in St. Mary's County. Swami Bajeebas entered three events; Advanced street, 18-39 bowl, and Longboard event. Hot Sauce Everett came to check things out this time. He hadn't intended on competing that day but as he was skating around one of the judges talked him into entering. They put him in the Novice category which was retarded. As soon as he began his run a wave of mutterings went around like WTF? Novice!? So they gave him second place to be courteous to the other contestants.



Yea Nice huck boss!

Here's Half the fun of road trips! We clown like champs on the way to and from the parks!

I, Bajeebas, took 3rd place in he longboard event. I am quite proud of myself because all of the other contestants had boards with kicktails, whereas I was riding a 44 inch pintail.

I will posting some video very soon. I just separated my Youtube accounts so skateboarding will now be found at www.youtube.com/skatebajeebas. Also make sure to check out my new website www.bajeebas.com!




Everett got stoked on trying this 540! He went after it with a vengeance

(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!!

Training in Olney & Warped Tour

OOOO baby!! Bajeebas liking that pool coping!

THE ESSENCE OF GNAR!!!

Got this photo last Saturday when I was skating 'Old Man Session' at the pool in Olney. The thing I like about these sessions is that it is opposite of the norm. One or two people are in the street course and every one is crowded around the pool getting their steez on! So my pads turned out to be a bummer. You would think that any pads that cost $80 would survive two sessions. I bought these effin Pro-tec drop-ins. They looked like they would do the trick. I should have gone with my gut instinct and stick with the 187s. I've ridden 187 for almost ten years and they were bomb. I've ridden these Pro-tecs two times and they ripped on me. They have a cool butterfly flap in the back that makes it so you don't have to take your shoe off to put the pad on. But, unfortunately, it is shoddy construction. the butterfly ripped at the seam and right behind the velcro tore a big hole. I better get a refund!

Thanks to Steph Murdock at Skatepark Of Baltimore I got to skate the mini ramp at Warped Tour! It was awesome! My heart was pounding! The music was deafening! The sun was boiling! The crowds were raging! And Captain Bajeebas of the SS Defstick was rippin! The ramp was perfect. Perfect height and width. When you stood down in the crowd the music didn't seem as loud. I guess because it was muffled by the bodies. But up on top of the ramp the sound from three stages blasted you right in the face. In the Midday sun the metal half pipe turned into a skillet. All aspects of the experience was intense.

Spent some good time raising money for S.O.B. too. We raised nearly $800 dollars that day. It was fun talking to all the people and getting stoopid on the megaphone! I tells ya! Put a megaphone in Bajeebas' hand and you don't know what'll happen! I have a new appreciation for Loud!! Hopefully this leads to greater levels of DEF not deaf. LMAO

Got some new knee pads!!

Dude!

I just bought some new knee pads and its time to off in the pool. My other ones were good but old and they kept sliding down. Now I got some that aren't going anywhere and I can but a knee slide comfortably with no fear. This means I'm heading for the deep-end!

I'm rolling with Steph Murdock to the Warped tour next week and it should be dope. Gonna get to skate a nice half pipe in front of thousands of people while the freshest punk rock flows through the air. Gonna be moving fast on My Defstick bearings. Helping Steph promote The Skatepark of Baltimore will be good. Hopefully we will raise some good money.

My heel injury has turned out to be only painful. My leg is still functional it just hurts. This is probably the best kind of injury i could want. It doesn't hurt when i skate and I can hit all my tricks. It just hurts like hell when i stop and I have a cute little lump at the base of my achilles. Whatever. I'm rolling. Tonight I go skate at Charm city. I was gonna practice at olney but it is raining. So indoors I go

Jacked up Heel

Defstick Team rider Bajeebas here telling you what's up. Been getting ready for a couple of pool competitions coming. Skated really hard last week which resulted in my heel injury at FDR. I've been able to ride a little bit this week but only flat land cause its been super hot and when I roll it feel like my achilles might pop. Don't want that to happen!! So i been doing the therapy skate. I'm about to get some new kneepads cause the elastic on the ones I have now is worn so every once in a while they sip down on me which really pisses me off. I think I'll stick to the 187's cause they work real nice for vert and pools.

get some bearings!

Skateboarding @ Virgin Mobile Festival!

Hell's yea!!!

Bajeebas representing Defstick @ V-fest tomorrow. It's gonna be ill!

Many thanks to Steph @ S.O.B. or Skatepark of Baltimore.

She is setting up a halfpipe to help raise money for the cause of building a nice skatepark in Baltimore. I intend to bring some Def flavor into the mix!

Rad Summer

Oh yea! been doin some shredding this summer! Getting prepared for a sweet Autumn. Should rip even harder then because the humidity drops and I can breath in the afternoon. Defstick crew has been in good form. Only a few injuries as is expected. I, bajeebas, returned from my sick OBX trip with no major injuries. I am very pleased at that. My hand ached for about a month, but it is better now. I ate some serious shit at the Maple Bowl in Currituck. That thing is no joke. Took a hipper while slapping my hand on the concrete so hard I thought it might be broken. It might be! But at least not in a debilitating way.

Got to skate the Cheese Bowl, o

r Wanchese, the last couple days of my stay down there. That was a primary destination and was very pleased to get to skate it. Click here for a video at Wanchese. Here are some stills of the structure that are featured in the video.

Seeing the underside of this mammoth structure was a pure joy. Mark Corbett did a very fine job with this. Thanks dude!! He does a considerable amount of work for Grindline, amking sweet parks, but this one is in his yard.
Would like to get some more time to ride that thing and develop more lines and stuff

On another note! We'll see how much ripping Rob is gonna be able to do, now that he has a baby on the way! Sheesh! Son of a gun is barely twenty years old but he's set on it and seems to really love Shamia. Who knows sometimes having a child can really make good thing happen in someone's life. I know I want kids someday, but I choose to wait for the right moment.
