I’ve been sick all week, which is why MC’s comics are piling up. But I’m back. Here’s something else I’m sick of. It’s some random Steven Reeves footage. I’m sick of his general good-nature, well rounded skateboarding and lack of attitude. A nice guy with skills. what a jerk, right? Footage came from some one at Skate One so you’d think it would be a Bones Wheels promo but there’s no branding or anything. It’s literally old footage. Enjoy, and expect regular broadcasting to resume on Monday.

This week’s Shot of the Week is Andy Anderson flying through Brooklyn Street Skate Spot in Portland, Oregon as shot by Micah Breshears.

Stanley, and you know what the “s” stands for.
