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!

Opening day was packed with plenty of eager kiddies, and for good reason...the park is rad. So many cool little things going on in this park. Hats off to Jesse and everyone who helped make this park happen.

Warehouse jam video and photos

Our buddy Zoli snapped some sick photos at the warehouse jam. In this one, Totally team manager Patrick Guidotti snaps a sick lien air.

Warehouse Weekend

Just a quick re-cap on Saturday's warehouse extravaganza:

We were super stoked that the rain held out until late in the day. It arrived just as McRad was about to begin their set, forcing them indoors and onto the rollout deck of the bowl. This last-minute adaptation became inspiration, their proximity pumping up everyone's adrenaline and pushing the sesh to a phenomenal level of insanity. My friend Brad said it was definitely in his top 5 sessions list ever and I definitely concur. When they busted out their classic tune "Weakness," everyone went nuts. If you skated in the 80's, you definitely saw Powell's "Public Domain" video and you understand. Back in the day, I used to tape those songs by holding a tape recorder up to the television just so I could listen to those songs while I was skating my backyard ramp. 20 years later and I'm skating one of the sickest spots, and McRad is there playing live. I told Chuck Treece it was a religious experience for me. He smiled and shook my hand. Thanks again Chuck, thanks to the band, and thanks to all my friends for coming out.

I would like to thank everyone who helped make this awesome day possible. Scott Kmiec, Chuck Treece, Steve Miller and Exit Skateshop, Superbuick, PoPo, DJ Solomonic, and all of the great people who came out to show support for the warehouse, Totally, and skateboarding.

There will be more pictures and video posted as they come in, so be sure to check back!

Philthy strikes again

Totally team rider and wayward traveler "Philthy" Phil Jackson just sent us these shots from out in the bush. Here's a pretty sweet shot of a smith grind in a California pool.



This no-comply pole jam back home at FDR is also nice.
