I've never really drank a lot of milk.

But I've been drinking a fair amount of mILC lately. ILC Skate Shop had a contest/video premiere February 23rd and I had a photo show as well. No photos of my show because I'm modest, no photos of premiere stuff because I was tired and was too busy watching the video. Here's contest photos!

Serial Chiller.

This was kind of a big deal for James, the head honcho down at ILC. He's apparently been waiting since the step up's inception for someone to fall in it. Good job, Dillon. There's a first time for everything.

Photobucket
The old ramp was open, but a fresh coat of paint on the mini made the staff keep the kids off of it for the first 45 minutes of the day. They were kinda eager to skate.

Photobucket
Smitty, you did a fantastic job airbrush painting the ramp.

Photobucket
Shamon Burton works for DC Shoes now as a sales rep. He was busy...kinda.

Photobucket
Capitalism won. Give DC a chance.

Photobucket
The big timers.

Photobucket
Little Matt Smith.

Photobucket
Getting the final touches of the ramp all fixed up.

Photobucket
Jmes just went ahead and dropped in. Then finished his run and walked off. Leaving all the kids in a really confused state. "Is it okay to skate now? I guess?"
"It's probably okay..." someone said and then they all went for it.

Photobucket
But not before James did his old reliable Front Smith grind and I shot an artsy photo of it.

Photobucket
So on his first run of the day Adam Paleski can do frontside Hurricane's. Must be nice.

Photobucket
Ethan watched the shop and drank beers. No, actually, they're Yoo Hoo's. He drank canned yoo hoo.

Photobucket
Underage drinking is a crime punishable by time in a correctional facility, Ethan.

Photobucket
Here's a fresh paint job.

Photobucket
The DC overlords are hopefully going to see this. I hope they're familiar with Shamon's sense of humor.

Photobucket
There's a clip of me being an ass and running through a clip of Little Matt skating. Smitty is his dad so he ran through my photo. Point taken Smitty. Point taken.

Photobucket
Say it with me: "Product Placement!"

Photobucket
Best trick dwn the gap. Lots of board flinging.

Photobucket
Damn, Thomas. Tight work.

Photobucket
Do y'all know Seth?

Photobucket

Photobucket
Maybe having in upwards of 500 DC stickers floating around with a decent amount of beer wasn't such a hot idea.

Photobucket
Shamon's brother Jalin was out shredding.

Photobucket
Drank & my two-step, drank & my two step.

Photobucket
Baws James running a tight ship.

Photobucket
Good work, if you can get it.

Photobucket
Super Smash Brothers.

Good job ILC dudes, the video is spectacular.

This is who I'm endorsing.

Hopefully we'll see Obama on the other Air Force 1 come this November.

Photobucket
This is just too ill.

Photobucket
This is just too true.

Blurry...on purpose?

I had to shoot some photos with long exposure for school so I shot skate photos. Say it with me: MULTI-TASKING!

Photobucket
Thomas was showing the new "mini quarterpipe" what's good. This thing is so fun.

Photobucket
Little Matt shocks me every time I skate with him. He was launching up the mini quarter onto the deck with a kickflip and manualing off of the deck. So he set up a landing.

Photobucket
Thomas is wayyyy too loud for his own good.

Photobucket
Is this technically a dork trick? Nosegrab to fakie on the mini quarter.

Photobucket
This kid was in the redneck family next door. He was hyped.

Photobucket
Incriminating.

Photobucket
We called CJ in Colorado for a technical issue I needed to clear up.

Photobucket
This was the assignment. Basically blurry on purpose.

Photobucket

Photobucket
Little Matt Smith.

The many moods of Matty.
He's single ladies. And he's also 12. If you're into the younger men this is your best bet.

Thanks Inlet Charley's Skate Shop posse. See you next time!

By the way, next time will be February 23rd for their video premiere of "Chocolate Milc" in association with DC Shoes. I'll have a photo showing going on. Prints are $15.00 so support the arts and my sneaker habit and buy some!
