The young and the innocent

This is a shot of a well known Portland skater Wes Cording taken in 1980 at a skatepark in Philadelphia called the Roxy or Roxbourough or something. Wes originally submitted it for the blue fiberglass ramp collection, but I am using it to announce that Wes is getting married tomorrow and all interested parties should meet at Union Jacks tonight if you want to send him off in the customary fashion. That’s not him on the cover, but you get the idea. Wes cleans up real good, you can see the proof after the jump.
Wes Cording gets married tomorrow. Bachelor party tonight!
Yes sir, buy Wes a, err, drink at Union Jack’s tonight if you want to pay your respects. Part of the fun of having a web site that a lot of people read is being able to occasionally embarrass your friends.
Here’s Wes before: The stains running down the concrete are why we call this the Bum Piss Bank.
I just saw this spot in the trailer for the new video trailer (Bacon?), and Wes is the guy who started it.
Here’s Wes and Sophia after: Look at him! he’s gone from hanging out in urine infested overpasses to looking respectable enough to meet the family.
Sophia says:
On our first date I came dressed in a black zip-up hoody and a cute yellow skirt. Wes showed up rolling in on his skateboard and in an identical black zip-up hoody.
I’d quote the rest of it, but it’s all mushy and stuff, and the guy does have a reputation to uphold.
Congratulations to you both!
If you are jonesing for more Wes (insert girlish scream), he stars as the angry skinhead/dock worker in the Cold War promo video.
Festivities start tonight, i’m guessing around 9:30 or 10:00.
UPDATE: We got some very blurry pics sent to us, probably taken with a camera phone. Enjoy!
Here’s some bachelor party action. If you squint your eyes you can see Wes seated on stage as the ladies approach.
Next day at the very casual ceremony. Matching Vans and Dickies in the wedding party.

Go to the Acropolis! They have so many kinds of beer. And good steak. And the tattoo lady that can hang from the top of the pole by only her thighs!
That’s just what I’ve been told, anyway.

Oh yeah, and congratulations, Wes.
