Just saw that this is coming out. Wish I could go to the premier. I've been reading about this being in the works for years now and was wondering if it would ever come out.

Stay strong, men (and papasmurf)! The good weather is near! And then we will have many skate sessions!

Also, happy early birthday to Oyolar, who's probably the smartest dude in our thread.

Never heard of quizbump, name sounds interesting though. Is bubble ledges the ones at the fancy hotel you can see off of LSD?

The Quizbump is a catchy name for the bump right next to a Quizno's. Quite fun. And nah, the bubbledges are the ledges that Kalis ollies onto and then (fs or bs?) kickflips into the street. What are these fancy hotel ledges you speak of?

The quiz bumps not skateable right now. They put these metal things on the beginning middle and that extend across the whole ramp.

From an aspiring scholar to another!

IMPORTANT NEWS: It's supposed to be super stormy this week, but weather.com has Tuesday-Friday having highs of 79. You know what to do, lady and gentlemen.

Uprise Skate Shop - Burn Through the Night

The Art Museum spots and spots in which a bridge is visible will be found and catalogged soon. The parking garage they skate is a little west of the Depaul building (on State Street) and is a little northeast of the high-rise prison.

Finally, stay out of the city on and around May 20-21. There's a NATO meeting, and the last thing we need is an ass-kicking by cops who were told to beef up their security.

hit up Wilson, you're bound to find people to skate with. plus, it's also not too bad of a park.
