Falling behind
The city of Chicago seems pretty dedicated to keeping me from skateboarding at all this winter considering I just sprained my “good” knee during a short-lived pool session, but thankfully Stereo just put out this montage of Cesar Fernandez’s “throwaway footage” in various sunny, mouth-watering locales.
Maybe it’s the buttery style, maybe it’s the soothing soundtrack, maybe it’s just the fact that I haven’t been skating nearly enough lately, but god damn it, that video’s got me scratching myself all over like I’m fiending for a rock. This “winter” thing that’s going on right now is definitely not what’s up, and you can be sure I won’t become a fan of it on Facebook anytime soon.
Speaking of Stereo though, they recently released this cool series of boards designed by Bigfoot (the artist, not the elusive missing link):

They should be available at your local shop at this very moment. And Bigfoot always reminds me of the frozen North, so they’re seasonally appropriate. Consider picking one up if you’re open to new shapes and can actually find a dry patch of asphalt to use it on.
Must get Bigfoot with saxophone NOW
