Creature: The Darkest Passage Into The Depths Of Doom and Despair

Haha!  You drop into a ramp that leads to a room where you're stuck with Sheckler for the weekend.  You have to be his spotter when he's weight training too. 

*You're surrounded by 80 ft tall transition so you can't get out.

80' tall? You could pump your way out...

That would be true if it weren't for Sheckler's mom being there to focus your board when you arrive there.

i submitted the one done in paint. sticks out like a sore thumb.

they have the vans team choose which they would most like to skate and the winner has their obstacle built wherever they want.

the cost to build has to be less than $10,000

damn...Omar looks bad. Good to see he came back at the end. We was on the other end and didn't even know what was goin' on...but they wheeled the stretcher right past us to get back there.

Hen, it's all good man. Gotta handle your business. Folks just missed the punt down there. It was pretty chill...heads just kicked it for a few. I got some footy and i'll see what's good and what I was filmin' faded. We had a garbage can full of 40s...probably 3-4 cases. Smyth hooked up some "Girl Gonz Wild" brown bags and pretty much just chilled while folks were skatin'.

There's new pics up on http://www.myspace.com/emb4ever (http://www.myspace.com/emb4ever) and http://www.emb4ever.com (http://www.emb4ever.com). I'ma get some video up in a sec. Hey, we did some random interview with this reej from FuelTV...if anyone sees it, post up the link. I heard they filmed the webcast at an angle so you wouldn't see the trash chillin' and holdin' down the block. Ha, we got censored from the freaking extreme sports channel. MEH!

this would make a great alternate ending in "street dreams": prod getting eaten in tampa contest by a batch of zombies that dissapear into the air... it might tip the viewer that the movie if pure fiction...

I know. only a few folks came thru. Mike was there (didn't skate, just chilled), Shel Black, Chico, Ab showed up, Michael Kelly, Gman, Puppet, Greg C., Sick Nick, Thorin, Arco. I wish P-double was there tho'. i think that was it from EMB tho', not including all the other folks mulling around and whatnot. I thought york and some more turf heads were coming thru.

I LOVED HANGING WITH THE HOMIES. MORE FUN THAN IVE HAD IN YEARS. COME TO THE CITY SOON SANCH!  I MISS YA LITTLE GUY!

That shit looked embarassing to sit thru all of that. I guess liquor would have made it easier to do and would have made it fun. Arco is a funny ass dude to drink with-yeeeeeerrrp!

I think people are just busy and it has nothing to do with not wanting to hang with old homies. Not everyone cares for hyping up an emb doc after 20 years have passed. So yeah, I've most defs moved on and am glad I can let it go.
