Skate Video Archives
Ty Evans has a clip posted on Skate Fairy of Mike Ternasky and Danny Way meeting up and filming out on the Mega Ramp. They talk about the Plan B video, Virtual Reality. Mike filmed it, Danny ripped it; along with a slew of other superstars.
Since you're probably too young to remember small wheels and baggy pants, you may have missed this video. It's a effin' monster. You may think of Colin McKay as a vert guy, Rodney Mullen as a character on THPS, and Danny Way as Evel Knievel, let this prove you wrong. The only thing that changed after this video is skaters went bigger. Same tricks, just bigger. I like to think that's just because those small wheels couldn't go fast and those ridiculous garbage bags for pants were not so aerodynamic.
**Rodney gets the Best Part in Biggest Pants award.
***Yes, this is the video where Sean Sheffey ollies over a baby (I always assumed it's his) sitting in a Fisher Price kids car.
Pool Party
This little beauty was sitting all lonely at a run down old motel on my way home to FLA during Memorial Day weekend. The one thing missing in this picture are wheel marks, and that's because there aren't any. Ok, there weren't any until I hopped the fence and had a private little sesh in this virgin. I know it's against the law of skating to give up a secret spot, but since you're a TVM reader, you're a bro.
Here's a hint: Exit 102, off of I-95, in South Carolina. It's at the dilapidating Mansion Inn. I'll even drop ya a pic of the sign here. If you're close to that area or if you're on a road trip, hit that shit and thank me later.

God Skates
This weekend I grabbed my camera and headed over to a local park in the beach town of Melbourne, Fl. It was a rainy day and the fact that The Park is indoors is more than sweet. Built by Team Pain, maker of every park I ever go to these days, it was very well constructed for the limited space. There's a cute little bowl shoved in a room with low ceilings, but the spots where you're likely to pull something big and need more room, i.e. hips and vert wall, are stuck right between the low rafters.
The street area consisted of a flow area that crossed a number of boxes, ledges and handrails. No problems with speed since the park is pretty tight. The only weird part would be a banked wall kinda shoved between the bowl and the flow area. It's pretty much unutilized by the 20 little doods that were resting on it.
In case you're wondering, the God Skates thing is because the park is affiliated with Christianity. If that's your jam, those are your people. If not, they didn't shove it in my face and of course in this life and this country, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Cost: 3 hour sessions for $6-$8
Location: 2405 US1, Downtown, Melbourne, florida.

What's Mike Sieben been up to?
Don't fear the downfall of Bueno as the downfall of Mike Sieben. In true character, Mike is everywhere at once. He writes and draws for Thrasher, has a line out for Vox, he has a line of new prints for sale at his website , and a new collaborative as witnessed in the video above. Oh, did I mention art shows like the one detailed on fecal face? Learn all about Mr. Sieben's life on video.

TOUR 07'
So sorry (not really) for the lack of updates. TVM has been on the road with AM!, so there's not much time to jump on and update. I will tell you that you should check out the tour and the awesome bands on it: Sage Francis, World Inferno, and the Cobra Skulls. Check us out at the Against Me! merch table. -brynotLooking For Dirty Deitrich?
We've had a bunch of people email us today about Dirty Deitrich. Apparently, he released a new single and is coming out with a new album. Unfortunately, we lost touch with him after the whole Reinventing Rod Stewart thing went south and he put it out on another label. Since you stopped by, check out the things we have released, namely, the DVDs listed below. Word!
TVM, HERE!!!
Buy the latest issue of TVM here!Yummy Spam!!
We spend more time filtering through the spam mail that's passed through our crappy spam filter than we do reading actual mail. Apparently, we're not the only ones. A few creative folks decided to make a website, www.spamrecycling.com, where you can send your spam mail and watch it be "recycled". I don't really know what that technical mumbo jumbo means, I mean i still think of recycling as throwing my trash in someone's front yard so they'll put it in their trashcan; however, it's a pretty cool looking site. Lots of colors. I like color. Mmmmm.... blue.
