Some classic Chicago shit. All shot on 16mm Bolex. Contains rare footage of Hensley from when he lived in Chicago in the early 90's. It takes a minute or so for it to load but it's worth it.

Curious if anyone here knows how Reggie is doing. Heard dude got hit by a drunk driver skating down the street in Wicker Park and was in critical condition.

Sad news, prayers go out to him...  I live close by and skate those streets all the time, it takes something like this to put it in perspective of how dangerous it can be....  Milwaukee avenue can be a death trap.

Lake Geneva, worth the trip.  Gang of 6 little scooter fucks, but they're easy to run over. 

Go if you can, on a weekday.

Took a damn Californian to throw an NBD on our turf? Time to make sure there are no NBDs left in the city for them. ATTACK.

we should all start working towards getting grant redone. spohn ranch does flatslab renovation which would be cheap for the city and they do quality concrete stuff. i helped get a park built in my town but i have a feeling this will be much harder which is ironic because the city has so much more money to work with. if anyone has suggestions to help convince the city let me know


and heres a short full length i just finished. all in chicago/near suburbs

That's right at the division exit on 90/94 if you're driving east on 90.
