Happy Birthday, Chuckles!

Saturday was Groundhog's Day.
It was also my boy Chuck's birthday!
First of all, I just want to say that me and Chuck share a very special bond.
Our relationship is so deep that they made a Hollywood movie about it, maybe you even saw it.

Yeah, me and Charlie!
No, but seriously, when I think of Chuck, I think about this picture I took of him in Japan a few years ago after he climbed this ridiculous Ultraman statue on a busted ankle.

THAT'S the type of shit he's always been on, determined like a muthafucka!
Anyway, these days this dude is on some Hollywood director type of shit for his next movie project, so he got himself a warehouse for editing purposes and whatever other power moves he feels like making.
Oh yeah, and he felt like building a ramp and then having a party.


Nobody's snaking this dude today.


Lineup.


Nut Bag went higher than anyone else on the vert wall.


Jarold was fucking dipped on these backside Smithers.


Chad Hiyakumoto, 808 Skate team alumnus.


Ch-ch-ch-uck ch-ch-chink.


Industry darkman Mark Oblow launches up to the vert wall.



If you didn't know, Mark is a Hawaiian ledge pretty much. That's short for legend.
The guy rode for fucking Vision back in the day! That was kind of a big deal. After that, homie moved to Cali and started making serious power moves. Started some pretty sick companies like Color, Prime, and Vita among others. Shit, sponsored am, company runner, team manager, photographer, the dude has always been on some serious heavy hitter bigwig type of shit! Nowadays he's the team manager for Analog clothing and ripping harder than ever. Peep out his shit sometime: http://www.markoblow.com/


Chillin'.


Crowd pleaser Mako Ozaki.


Chuck flexing the serious soccer skills.


Blazer with Al Tod, the Abe Froman of the Hawaiian tint game.


Kickflip on the vert wall?


HUUUUUGE frontside launch to wallride? Shit like this is cake when you've been skating since you could walk. Chris Kays literally has.


Did I just say cake?








Yo, Takeru...Otanjoobi omedeto gozaimasu!


Meanwhile, Bedpan-cam was in full effect.


He filmed the birthday boy getting crookie with it.


But I must say that Sean was wearing the raddest shirt. Big Daddy Kane is one of my top five rappers of all time, and this is quite a tasteful photo, don't you think?


This however, is revolting, disgusting, and downright offensive.


Hartsel has a nice backside Smith in his bag.


But Jarold's are champ status, and worthy of another look.


Johnny warmed up an ollie to fakie on the vert wall,


Then took matters into his own hands with this ender-ender.


It's a wrap. Happy birthday, Chuck!


My favorite photo of the day gets the curtains. The Colonel and The Blazer pose with Famous Anus...I mean Famous Amos.
