Besides being a great hideout for Travis, Maven is one damn cool store. Check them out HERE.

NATURE BOY

This is, by far, the best thing that has ever been posted on this blog. In fact, I'd even say that this is, by far, the best thing that occurred during the year 2009 (yes, even more amazing than Michael Jackson's untimely death). Anyway, here's your favorite Totally team rider, the Confessor, laying waste to Portland, Oregon this past Halloween.

David? Richard?

Scott Kmiec has a really cool skinny-guy style. Check it.

Confessor Carnage

This was one of those quick meet n' greet, then thrash n' dash sessions.

"Mike, this is pool-tiles." "Pool-tiles, this is Mike, er, THE CONFESSOR."

Blackberry helmet footy yo!!!

Oh man...this is kind of embarassing...



Filmed with a blackberry at Woodward over the summer. Thanks RipnDip!

Totally Halloween II! (video)

So the Halloween Jam was last week, and it was a ripping good time. Costumes were awesome, beer was flowing, and people were stoked. Yes, there were some scary moments... like when five cops rolled up on bikes, or when some dude thought it would be a good idea to try a front flip off of the office vert wall into the bowl on a dare and landed flat on his face. A conversation with one of the bike cops and they left for Dunkin Donuts, a visit from a fire engine & an ambulance, and the concussed flipper was whisked off and the party continued. Of course during all of this, McRad was SLAYING the joint. I saw their drummer get nailed in the side of the head by a flying board, and after a moment of shaking it off, they picked right back up again like nothing happened. Gnarly.

While McRad was playing, 2, 3, sometimes 4 dudes were dropping in at once and totally going for it. So many rad tricks going down simultaneously, and of course the occasional smash up, but the energy level was absolutely fierce. Can't beat those primal sessions.

Special thanks to Scott Kmiec, Chuck Treece & McRad, and of course Exit and Kinetic for support and help in making the jam possible. Thanks also to Chris Picco, Pauly, Suozzo, and everyone who pitched in to help set things up that day. Can't thank you all enough. ---Patrick

HALLOWEEN JAM II

HALLOWEEN JAM II @ THE PHILLY WAREHOUSE, 10/30!!!

Celebrated Summer

During the last couple weeks, we logged some time in the woods and on the streets in celebration of one fine summer coming to an end. Here are some pics. Enjoy.

This ramp features some pretty cool surroundings (see treehouse with electricity), which makes up for the horrible coping situation ON the ramp itself. Throw in some good transitions, and I'm hurling my old bones as high in the air as I can.

We came to this rail and I wasn't sure if anyone was going to step to it, but James Pitonyak hit a perfect backside lipslide down it on his third attempt.

Kurt Kamrad on Totally

Totally welcomes Kurt Kamrad to the team. I've watched Kurt go from small fry to big guy over the last four years, and his ability to dial in some of the most tech tricks has always blown me away. He's a talented skateboarder, and an all around cool guy. We're proud to have him in our crew. Welcome aboard, Kurt!

Totally On Tour (pics added 8/31)

So we went on our first mini-tour a couple of weeks ago, hitting some awesome spots throughout New England and sleeping in tents set up in campgrounds, backyards, bowls, you name it. No showers, no beds, no seats in the van (or windows), and no complaining.
The trip took us through Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, & New York (up state).
Everywhere we went, the locals were super friendly and they ripped! Vermont breeds total SHREDDERS! I love it there and can't wait to go back!
Special thanks to Josh (Chicopee Bowl), Brendan @ Maven Skateshop, and Keegan.

Below are some photos, but first, here's some video:

Rhode Island campground. Setting up tents at 10 pm is not the best way to do it. Our neighbors at the campgrounds were not psyched on us at all.

Vermont...of course



Yeah, I skated in the 80's...

Fountain Of Youth Skateshop

F.O.Y. in Providence, Rhode Island is a pretty nifty little skateshop owned and operated by some great old friends of mine- Donny Barley & Grandison Taber. Two of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, and one of the coolest shops you'll ever visit. Their selection is top-shelf, and their shop decks and shirts are SICK. They are also now stocking Totally decks. Click HERE to check out their website/online store. Buy one of their shirts and show them some support.
If you're in Rhode Island, hell, if you're in Massachusetts even, make a b-line to Providence and check out their scene. Stop by on a Thursday night and skate in the town square where they pull out ramps and rails and set them up in the ice-rink (no ice in the summer months obviously). Donny says the sessions are fun, and I'm bummed that we missed out on this while we were up there last week. We'll try to get back up there soon!

Artifact Skateshop

Artifact Skateshop, located inside Haven Skatepark, now has Totally boards in stock! The shop is great, and the skatepark features a bowl with a massive wooden bassinet/fullpipe. If you're ever in Connecticut, get on over to North Haven and pay them a visit. The people here are really cool, and you'll feel welcome the second you walk through the door. Ask for Ricky in the skateshop.
Click here to check out their site and to link to the skatepark's site as well.

Back from New England

Totally went on a mini tour through New England last week, and it was nothing short of epic! We skated a lot of sick spots, hung out with a lot of great people, and even managed to sell a few boards along the way.
Stories, pics, & video to follow shortly. Stay tuned!

Totally Kinetic

Kinetic skateshop in Delaware now has Totally boards in stock! Get down there to check them out, or go here to order them right from their website!
