RedBull/Nixon/Element/Nacho/ProSkates Game of SKATE

Not sure it's annual, but the first RBNENPSGoS went down on Thursday night after we closed.
What you're looking at right there, is a fist fulla fives. Well, it's more of a fan, in two hands, but you get the idea. Red Bull put up 500 billos for the winners.

Simon was a contender, but in the end was edged out. Pop shuvits, yeah, ok, but the others wouldn't allow these dance moves.

This guy was sent from the head office of RBNENPSGoS to "get some sick shots for the promotions department". Such a kook.

Here's Nacho trying to figure out prizes. "Ummmm...."

And the winner is, Nate Dog. I think he won a Nixon watch, Element deck, and $250.

Robbie JUNIOR!!!

Big congratulations to Lori and Rob Bell on the birth of their cute little bundle of demon spawn, Isaac Michael Bell. Hopefully I spelled that right. With lots of different nicknames already, Izzy was born on Friday and all are well and should be home today or tomorrow. You should see the hair on this dude!

Alphanumeric is back

Just got wind of the re-launch of Alphanumeric, by way of these dope new headphones.

They are actually really good sounding headphones. I think they'll be releasing a headphone with Audio Technica (maybe this is it?), and a box set of the mix tapes they used to do.
I'm rocking to my own mixtape right now. Thanks Raj!

Depend on Zack.

Ok so they aren't Depend's its Tena. And I'm not even sure I have to write a joke about this one. The proof is in the pudding.This is a free sample Zack ordered. Sure it was addressed to him but Jon said to hell with federal law and opened it anyway.
We're here for you either way Zack, bladder problem or not.

CHECK THIS!
Jesse Bowden of WeSC, rocking SHREDZ waaaayyyy back in the day. Cameroon, Africa circa 92'!

A few more Opening Day pics

Some OG Lanks right there boys. I wish I had McDonalds when I was a kid. Katt Williams talks about hanging out with Shaq, thats me and these bastards. Tall-ass motherfuckers, I'm just sayin.

Some weirdo

Natalie, Stephanie, Helenie.

Here's our screenprinter Nigel, trying to shake down Rob for a cheque. Yeah, that beer didn't grow on trees bud. Oh right, you brought some, my bad.

That dude kept wanting to play me at GH. I don't really get high points, but nobody can touch my stage presence. I do high kicks and shit, seriously.

Beer, pizza, tangerines, and...

Work, Uptown style.

Lunch.

Darting.

Pro Skates Uptown is OPEN!




This Slayer poster has been around for a lonnnggg time. It's still got your name on it Gerry, it's safe.

We just started playing darts. Check the groupings, did I mention "just" started playing?

Our first customer, and we forgot to get his name. Thanks bud!

The view from behind the counter. Thats Quinpool road out that door, one minute from the skatepark. We're a 5 minute walk from where Pro Skates spent it's first 10 years...

...so of course SHREDZ is back. 15 years ago this was the hottest shit coming out of Pro Skates, and you just had to have a piece of Shredz gear.

Our couch, some questionable "markings" came free.

Lurkers, Sean and Nate. They definitely approve, but with the glaze they seem to have on, I think they'd sit on anything.

Come by and visit, but bring your own darts. We're very...particular about dart germs. But not couch bacteria apparently.

UPTOWN.

Man legend.

Quinpool madness

4 lanes of traffic (luckily not much), and this guy.

The new foosball,

Vestal Watches

You should stop by the shop and see the new Vestal case we have in. It looks like a big stacked amp...not unlike the stacks you'd see at Sepultura concert...actually I'm also pretty sure that Morrissey's guitarist would have his sound come from something similar. So yeah, Vestal watches, they are dope; kinda rockeresq, kinda fresh, whatever you want it to be.



Where the hell did all the tax go?

So I show up at work this morning, everyones looking around like a bunch of idiots. I ask Zach what's going on. He replies with "We can't find the goddam tax Nachooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!" Naturally I'm thinking these guys are fucked since tax is not a tangible thing. But anyway I go along with it because the guy pays me to agree with him. "Oh...ok...I see....well I guess we'll just have to open without any tax. "Precisely!" chimed Zach. So anyway....you heard it right here. NO TAX UP IN THIS BITCH UNTIL WE SAY OTHERWISE!!!!!!!!!!!! Come cop what you been looking at for months but ya broke ass couldn't afford.

Saturday evening at Proskates.

Saturday was busy as all hell. And we've all been putting in some overtime these days. So, in turn, our fearless leader Zach decided to buy us a 24 for after work.
As you can see the rules weren't that tight about the whole drinking "after" work as Zach handed out beers to the staff during the last hour of work....Here's Jermaine helping some ladies out with some Fuct tee's with an Olands. Yaaaa Diiiiggggg!!!!
Even Helen and former Pro Girl employee Sarah stopped by to have a drink.....there's no more pics after this point....shit got a lil crazy. I heard Jermaine later crashed the Santa parade on Barrington looking for the 1 to Dartmouth.
