**Ammstaff** · 07-25-2009 08:34 AM

What is up people? Well im sorry that i missed the sliding at chery hill hope u all had fun.

I recently encountered some serrious damage. Wobbled out on a crappy road in Ukraine at 70 km per hour so around 45 mph. Well i still can take a shower without passing out from pain.

Im back to riding and some stand up sliding but due to the serrious road rash i can't do any glove encorporated sliding.

I will have the pics and video of my fall and post fall healing .

Shred the gnar, im back agust 17th.

I'm having trouble reconciling these two posts.

Bizarre find in Prospect Park - cow tongues nailed to trees

by Oren Yaniv
Daily News Staff Writer

Fifteen calf tongues were found nailed to trees in Brooklyn's Prospect Park Thursday.

The bizarre sighting was made in Peninsula Meadow, just north of Prospect Lake.

The tongues, which appeared to come from a butcher shop, were hanging about six feet off the ground from 15 different trunks, park officials said.

Parks Department officials said it's a mystery why the animal parts were hung, but animal tongues are sometimes used in cult or fringe religious rituals by skateboarders.

My bad

And I plan to go to watchtower today (plan to be there by like 4:30) so if anyone wants to skate...
If the rain holds up i'll also go to the RIP.

(Wanted to bump this sorry for double post)
Some fun looking t-storms are coming, so nevermind about watchtower, hopefully it clears out for the RIP.

**Alpha06** · 07-31-2009 03:27 PM

I'll be going to the rip if it clears up by 8pm

Well tonight I saw something really messed up. While my mom was going to the bank I stopped to skate a small ledge while she talked to some poeple. I saw 3 0r 4 teenagers which 1 had a scooter soI thought to myself. What type of 15 yr old still rides a scooter. A homeless guy passed them and the kids started cursing at him Then they followed him and after a block started throwing rocks at him. The guy fake punched a kid and kept walking. The kids came back and were still throwing rocks. The guy chased them for about 10 sec and continued walking. Its suprising how many people saw this and didnt do any thing. Btw this was at 10 20.

Team Earthwing did not get bored. We are going through some changes. Nothing bad, just changes. What is growth without change? In fact most of us have become so busy with our personal lives that it is hard to find ourselves at the RIP.

**mark grimace** · 08-01-2009 10:26 AM

see you all in October!!!!!!!!!!

**JohnnySasquatch** · 08-01-2009 12:21 PM

**Gambit619** · 08-02-2009 07:41 PM

I think he is talking about Columbia Heights aka: Watchtower. They used to call it suicide hill back in the day when they held illegal soap box races there. We call it watchtower because of the Jahova's Witness facility named "Watchtower" that is there. Plus it is written in ten foot high letters at the top of one of the buildings.
