Kounter Kulture Cru news

It will no longer be necessary to ask again and again whether or not Mike Koliner is in KKC… He’s been skating with us for a long time, and today, 11/22/03, he proved himself more than worthy, with a career highlighting session involving a 270 back royale drop rail, and a 720 (over the mellon 10), and most importantly, style. You can catch these clips on the link above. Mike is the first new member since Peter Shannon, and is also the youngest. Good work Koliner, and continue to prove worthy of the nickname “deathwish”. Peace.

ALSO, thanks to everybody who skated in the pouring rain for yinzer, and everybody who came to the premier and made the sesh and premier awesome...

NOW, the true news update about the yinzer sesh.... most of these tricks will be in edit of the month NOVEMBER 2! in honor of the previous most amazing edit o da month. yinzer sesh was gonna have its own edit but alot of it got rained out so not much was filmed, although it was still a sick session. we started out at lincoln tall silvers, where it began to POURRRRR rain and brought down the mood of the session quite a bit. i did topsoul backside backslide budget true top porn on tall silves, and then once it got wayy too wet to skate reasonably, we went and sessioned the new playground equipment with some original and artistic moves haha. the PO PO then came to bust us, and we decided it was better too move on anyway to a spot more easily skateable in the rain. BERMUDA. this spot was murrrdered. i did a soul and topsoul the whole thing, a soul to switch topsoul to makio the whole thing, and a royale the whole thing. ryan did a back royale, topsoul, top porn, and front unity topsoul TRUE TOP SOUL the FULLLL! brian top porned it all as did brant, who also top porned to back royaled it all, and back farfed it. koliner was getting angry that he couldnt soul the whole thing so he decided to soul the BEAST KINKER. its like a 12 flat 14 that is slicker than anything imagineable, plus it was covered in rain drops, steeper than a ski slope, and more wobbly than any rail ive ever seen. he must have died 7 or 8 times in various ways trying to conquer it. he finally souled it which was the craziest thing i had seen in a looong time. ( all of this will be seen in edit o da month november). ryan came along and decided that even though he had a hurt ankle, he was gonna topsoul the death kink, and he did, and it was soo sick even tho he was standing taller than clarey on stilts haha it was sick. from there we decided nothing else could be hit and it was time to move on. from there we went to session the ice castle kink, where i did a royale to warm up but we got booted quickly, and had to move on to rich rails, wich were suuuuper deadly considering the rain. me and clint were the only ones who skated them, and i did a drop down alleyoop lefty soul to inspin righty soul the rail to fakie, and clint did an incredible drop down ao makio stall to topsoul the underneath of the rail, to gap to front royale the opposite rail! its such a far gap and he hit his shins at least 20 times before he stuck it. everyone was really tired so from there we diceded to go to a laid back spot close to nips; the dormont pool rails. koliner was the only one to skate the down rail, but he hit a sick 270 back royale 270 revert, as well as a top porn and a top porn back roy. at the handicaps brant did a back farf from the top 450 revert, and a back torque the shorter part that was BUTTER. i did a royale budget front savanahh to ao topsoul, and a topsoul rail transfer to front royale 270 revert, and then got raped 3 times trying that same trick for cam. ryan did a siickkkkk back royale from the top, 270 outspin torquesoul which ended the session. from there we went to nips and LOADED on pizza, and skated / drove / skitched back to my house for premier. we got back kinda early so we skated box and i had a game of skate with ryan and I WON! haha i had to say it ryan. but there is a rematch on his home turf... anyway then we went in for premier and watched the butterbeans team trailor and then YIIIINNNNNZZZZZEEEERRRRR which everyone liked, it was a success, thanks for everyone for comin to the sesh and the premier too.... peace outttttt. - colin

SEPTEMBER 20th lebo sesh... was incredible. Somehow EVERYBODY managed to show up relatively close to on time, even with the mass confusion that went down about directions. around 1230 rollers started showing up at my house where we sessioned the infamous box rail me and peter built for a while, we waited for everybody to show up and while we were waiting got juiced by watching rejects dvd and noir. me cheech compt clarey plake peter shae ryan brian brian and brant all loaded up into our respectable cars to head to lincoln to session the famous tall silver handicaps. at lincoln everyone else showed up including the sophmore rollers and all the kids from abp. we started sessioning the handicap and there were just kids everywhere and unfortunatley it was a quick bust. during about 5 minutes of sessioning so much skating was going down i cant even remember all of the tricks, although i do remember brant landing a front torque that was nuts. but, the po po showed up to break up our event and we all had to get organized and plan where the next spot would be. we decided to roll down to the mellow 9 stair handrail at dormont pool, which also has the slick black handicaps. this proved to be an excellent decision cause this spot was killed. everybody was juiced and throwing down anything they could imagine. some of the highlights on the handicap were clareys top porn back royale, top porn to true top soyale, my soul backslide ao topsoul inspin soul revert, followed directly by ryans topsoul backside backslide true soul cab topsoul, and ryans topsoul to front unity budget kindgrind, and topsoul backside backslide budget true top porn. ryan 'the winner' parker took the cake in the end when he true top soyaled the handicap. the session that went down on the 9 stair was pretty sick too. cheech did some steezed front royales, clarey took a few hard biffs on soyale and called it quits, mike dephillips landed top porn 180 out and after a few nasty wrecks, a back unity. little mike sharps landed a backroyale first attempt, and even smaller brian frey got completely wrecked trying front royale, but got back up and landed it clean a few minutes later.(props galore). andrew dipolo tried a high speed topsoul and the rail was so high on him, he locked sitting on his boot and whipped out and landed right onto his hip at the bottom it was nasty. ryan laced a front royale, and a clean negative mistrial. i did a topsoul and topacid, topacid true miz, topsoul true topsoul, and topsoul to soul. from there somehow everybody packed into the 2 cars that we had, and we decided to move on to the high school. on the way everyone loaded up on dairy queen and was ready to skate the deadly square rails at the highschool. unfortunatley the fence at the top of the new round rails were closed, but we made the best of things and went into one of the coves were we sessioned a flat handicap that went straight out from the top of 9 stairs, so it was a long square black handicap with about a 7 foot drop off the end. i did a frontside royale 270 revert, brant did a frontside farf to fakie, and a frontside farf 270 revert. ryan did a hop over some rail to land on a skinny ledge and 540 off, and brant hopped over a rail to ledge roll, to hop to the roof of the kiosk, to 180 off, and then 540 off. he just hucked himself and went so high it was amazing. everyone decided it was time to move on and we rolled over to jefferson. the 21 was unskateable becauase of crappy runup, so we decided to session frontside of youth. ryan inspired us to hop up to the fairly high frontside of youth without the bench assistance, which was new. a bunch of switchups were laced on this. ryan did back royale the whole thing 450 revert, back royale outspin switch front royale 270, and backroyale outspin switch front royale budget top acid. brant did backside farf the whole thing 450 out, backside farf to front royale to backside farf 450, and a back unity the whole thing. after a load of tries, i finally got fronside royale budget top acid to backside farf budget true acid, and then we decided it was time for food. but before we went to nips for dinner we sesioned bench for a wile, cheech landed truespin soul to switch soul revert, and was trying truespin soul to switch soul to true miz forever, and did it sketchily many times but never really got it. we moved on to nips, while the other half of the skaters moved on to markham; i still dont know what went down there, but anyway we talked about the sesh over pizza and dew,watched some footage, and rested. after pizza we decided to go back to the tall silvers where we were kicked out of and session into the night. alot of stuff was hit but some of the more memorable things were brants backfarf up the rail,and front torque . ryan did 3 nice backroyales on the steep 14? stair, and we moved back to the handicaps where i did topacid backside royale budget true top porn, and brian laced a clean top porn to true top soyale budget acid 180 out. it was so steezy and everybody was so tired we had to end the session there. thanks to everybody for coming out it was awesome, well have to organize another one soon, and everyone give me your thoughts on this; yinzer we might have an edit dedicated to this session alone, which i think might be pretty cool, so look forward to seeing all of the tricks and bails in yinzer comin october 03- peace. - colin Tonight a pretty satisfying session went down at 885 tonight… we arrived…get this….ON TIME! For the 8-10 p.m. session. When we got there, there were a decent number of rollers already there… Dan, Jordan, and Joanna from sq. hill, Mike from Baldwin, Colin, Cheech, and Clarey, and a couple other kids with big shirts galore that were really cool. Anyway as is tradition the session warms up on the toybox. Colin dropped in and did a back unity budget back savannah (I think) and some other nice budgets. Dan was flowing his usual cheshed out steez with 270 back unitys to a lot of tricks and then he did one of the sickest tricks- AO acid wrap budget top porn to soul. Colin, you can fix that if its wrong. Anyway Colin did a fakie 3 true mizou, and Cheech did topsoul 360 topsoul first attempt and then after a couple tries stuck an inspin soul. Some sit down front nuuugs were also done. Anyway, people started spreading out, and Joanna and colin were over in the pipe when I spotted her slide a true miz in there which was solid, and then some other kids were over on the box. Clarey was stalling the sub box. Cheech did a steezed out 540 to flat on the “volcano” and then some tricks were done on the square rails. Colin ended up hurting himself decently so he is listed as questionable for tomorrow… but even so, the whole time people were doing solid tricks and it was generally a good session and beats whatever you did Friday night. Peace aut.

As you all have noticed, the site is way overdue for an update. So, after a gburgher voiced his complaint I whipped in the old vertigo edit (scope video) put some frames in Photos, and have this big news update. Enjoy.

So many sessions have gone down since the last time we updated I cant even name them all. We haven’t spoken of general news in so long so heres the status of things around here… clarey got his new salomon st90 skates with trs midsoles and soles which he loves, plake got his new ufs remz which he loves, Compton has soccer and never skates, koliner has been throwing down more than ever before thanks to us not letting him wimp out on tricks, and peter pretends to have to do something with his mom and goes out with a girl.haha. the site is finally gonna start being updated more often, and if you ever think its getting old again, yell at me to update it. yinzer filming is almost done and I haven’t started editing yet, but its because the schools stuff isn’t ready yet. Im looking for some songs for yinzer, so please give me any ideas. Also any request for specific sections or spot checks are welcome and needed.

The first sesh that im going to be updating in a long time is the recent cds/ taco session…. the peeps present were me, cheech, clarey, Joanna, the greensburgers; ryan, clint, brant… we started out at cds handicaps where cheech got killed on his first attempt at a fs royale, and hit his stomach so hard he told us to film cause he was gonna puke. Clarey top porn to true top soyaled to fakie, I kindgrinded to topside mistrial and kindgrind 270 back farfed, and ryan did an awe inspiring back royale true negative mistrial, and a truetopsoyale. From there we moved to taco where everyone slowly but surely hit every single trick ever known to mankind. Im just gonna give two highlights from each person. Clarey, backside royale 270 revert, and top porn back royale to true porn. Cheech, negative fishbrain to true topsoyale to true soul, and this amazing fishbrain on the rail underneath the real rail to negative fish to back royale the actual rail. Ryan did topside acid backside backslide budget tru top porn inspin switch front royale 270 revert, and back royale outspin switch front royale 270 truespin NEGATIVE soul. Joanna was getting the feel for her new ufs remz with black fiziks, and did some nice porns 180 revert. Clint did some smooth fakie 270 frontside royales, and brant did a front torque the full, and fakie 270 backside farf 450 revert. I did topporn backside backslide budget true top porn revert, and backside unity budget back savanahh. The sesh was amazing and loooong but worth it. more updates to come….

THE TACO SESSION OF LIFE... READ ON IF YOU DARE

Now to the true session that needs to be stated- my birthday taco bell session… thanks to some true playas, sandbags were placed in the parking spots by the rail so nobody could block it….I think its necessary to say R.I.P. taco bell, because I have to say it was murdered. We arrived at the sesh and there were already tons of kids there… there were so many tricks half of them I didn’t see so im just gonna list what I know. Clint from Greensburg hit a nice fakie 270 front royale 270 out, brant from gburg front torqued the fullest, brian top porn to front savannah, and top porn tts to true soul, dan hit an ill steezed royale inspin toptorquesoul, topsoul true top acid, and top porn backside backslide budget true top porn.

Koliner was having his first taco bell sesh of his life, and did a front royale 270 out, front unity, and soul thread the needle out I believe. Plake was just chilling from his comeback of being grounded but did soul to backside cabdriver, makio front unity, makio thread out, and some other ish I cant even remember. Cheech did his signature front farf budget switch porn, and some dope negative tricks… negative fish 180 out, negative fish to backroyale 270 revert, and negative fish to true miz 360 revert! He also did some artistic stall hop over rail bullcrap…. But moving on… I hit my usual bunch of backslide combinations, backslide ao top acid, backslide ao topsoul to soul, backslide budget front savannah to ao topsoul, backslide budget ao porn to ao topacid, royale 270 mizou revert, soul topsoul 360 soul, top acid backroyale budget acid, royale budget top acid to true top acid revert, kindgrind to cab topspoul, and finally after a load of hand-hurting falls, kindgrind fakie 3 truespin mizou.

Back royale budget truespin acid, Royale inspin topsoul, royale budget ao negative top porn, negative mistrial budget ao negative top porn, negative mistrial to ao topsoul, negative mistrial to ao topsoul to negative mistrial! And! ( im not gonna abbrieviate anything to make this even doper) backside royale budget truespin topside pornstar outspin switch frontside royale budget topside acid GRIND 360 REVERT!!!!!! All in all the sesh was off the hook and so many peeps destructed it.. look forward to seeing all these tricks with incredible filming in ‘yinzer’ where taco bell rail has its own spot check. Peace - colin

DAILY BREAD NEVER SHOWED, BUT THE SESSION WAS SICK... read the longest news update youve ever seen...

we showed up at mainframe at around 1230 and nobody was really there, thats when spencer dropped the bad news... daily bread's plane wasnt supposed to land until 2, so likeley they wouldnt be at the shop until 4. me and plake couldnt take the lack of skating going on and went up to skate library ledge to pass the time. we figured we might as well gather up whoever was at mainframe to skate it with us too, so we got the west virginia kids chilling in the shop to come skate, and started skating the ledge- which is so smooth and sick. loads of people just kept showing up, the somerset kids came, all the pittsburghers came, and some other out of towners too. the session at the ledge was going off. plake did back farf budget back savanah, alley oop mizou fullcab alley oop soul, front royale 270 back royale, and a makio to thread the needle to drag knee on ground and bleed all over his white iverson shorts. cheech as we all know hates ledges, but still did a long true mizou 360 out, a 270 back farf to makio, and a true miz outspin front farf. clarey was just chilling around, but still nailed a back torque, and a cab topsoul. i did backslide ao fish, backslide ao top acid, backslide budget front savanahh, backslide ao topsoul to inspin soul 270 backroyale budget acid, royale 270 back farf to soul, and my new trick and first time hit- frontside royale inspin soul. some of the somerset kids i think were ripping up the ledge- a short kid with shima 4's did a nice topsoul to true porn, and this tall lanky kid with black solomons had the smoothest steeze ever and laced some tight tricks- fakie 270 front royale 270 out, and some looong true top soyales. a kid with genesys i think, was ripping every savanah combo possible, and hit backsavanahh the whole ledge, front savanah ao makio 3 out, zerospin porn to backroyale. everyone decided that the ledge was definatley killed and it was time to move on. we went to this place with all the green rails (cds or somethin - it was in the be-mag pittsburgh edit- it has green handicaps down the middle of four long stairs- thte triple kink shields does in vg19, blah) we started out on the handicaps that were pretty high but people were throwing down. i arrived first and started skating before cheech and clarey and everybody. i did royale budget topacid, royale ao topacid, backslide kind, backslide ao topsoul, royale 270 backside farf, soul to true miz, and soul to true topssoul. cheech arrived and randomly hit a royale ao topsoul first attempt, plake did makio back farf, and makio front unity, and a makio thread out but he barely dropped it. he went back to land it and RACKED HIS NUTS so hard (these rails are high) he couldnt breath, layed down, and stopped skating for the rest of the day. clarey x grinded and top porn to backroyale. the kid with the genesys was killing, and hit back torque, ao porn 270 backroyale, ao makio 270 backroyale, an ao mizou 540 out. finally the kid with the black solomons i was talking about with the smooooth style destroyed, he soyaled switch and natural, truetop soyaled, and true top porned! the rails were definatley dead, so we mooved on to the final spot of the day. a looong green handrial in the middle of the stairs, 10 stairs long but each step was massive, it was equivolent to like a 16 or 17 stair rail. clarey busted a soul, x, and top porn, cheech makio to front royale, makio to fastslide to fakie, and soul to neagative makio! and he didnt even like the rail! i however loved it, and couldnt stop skating it. i did a royale, royale budget topacid, royale ao fish, zerospin royale, soul to soyale, kindgrind to fakie, kindgrind to soyale, and finally backslide. the steezed salo kid ripped them up, and hit top porn true top royale, and top porn true porn. the short kid with the shimas was killing it too, with a topacid back royale, and an awe-inspiring true top soyale! the sesh was nuts and over, and everyone mooved on to go session taco bell and other oakland spots. we chilled around and sheilds showed up and layed down some smooth tricks; a soul to fish 180 out, and a sick 270 backside royale. this sesh was amazing, and i dont even wanna know whats gonna go down tomorow when daily bread ACTUALLY SHOWS UP! - peace - colin (my fingers ache)

a HOT AS A MONKEY session went down today... and im talking hot hot HOT HOTHOTHOTHOT HOOOOOOTTTTTTT. we stared out at the rail kkc seems to have a fresh craving for... the ice castle kink. (as seen in eodm june... clarey soul, colin roy) koliner started off with a beastly soul which was laced clean, but retired due do heat and what not. clarey tried some top porns but also fell under the spell of the heat. i was the only one left skating and i did a royale budget top acid, allthough i admight it was a bit dinkish. yes. im a dinker. and a soulto backside farf. we moved on from there and went inside ice castle to cool down. in the immortal words of fat joe.. " what makes you think its gon be coooold in ice castle?"... so we all aired out are sweaty clothes in the stands of the ice rink. soooo enjoyable. from there everone but me and aj left to go skate st. annes, but we stayed behind cause i stayed home and filled up some waterbottle i found. but on the way to st. annes me and aj stopped to session the mini full pipes ( as seen in addiction credits).since there were 4 tubes lined up in a row some transfers were hit, and aj suprisingly was riding them pretty good and getting reaaaaal high. until he died. from there we moved on to st annes ( the mini gap rails ) were some illl things went down even tho it was still burninnn. koliner did a soul gap true topsoul, and a front unity gap front unity, and a soul gap fastslide budget front unity. cheech threw down a topsoul gap truetopsoul, misou, gap kindgrind, gap alley oop makio, and a negative mistrial gap soul. colin did a backslide gap kindgrind, soyale gap kind, soyale gap ao topsoul, and switch soul gap inspin topsoul. from there we went back to clareys crib, chilled, and loaded up on all kinds of carbonation, and then watched maintain and vg20, and rolled over to the foster handicap, (as seen in the final clips of sessions in ill advised). cheech didnt skate, neither did clarey, probably because the place was under construction, and there were planks of wood around the handicap, and a hose you had to gap over to get to it, and DUST GALORE. but koliner did a royale aotopsoul, and a front unity to back farf, and royale budget ao porn. colin did a back torque the full to fakie, a front unity to kindgrind, a backslide the full, and soul topsoul 360 soul. it was a nice sesh for such hot weather, and props to everyone who braved the heat and skated. worrrrd. - colin

In the past two dayyyyyyz two semidece sessions went down, but nothing major because of the doggy dogg heat weve been having. well first off me cheech and clurda and peter went out for a quick jeff session in honor of his new estillos coming. at front of youth cheech warmed up with a steezus topsoul, and kept getting close to an ill topsoul true top soy, but racked his shin and retired that trick. colin did a royale ao topsoul to soul, a soul backslide ao topsoul, and a front unity to kindgrizz. we got sick of front of youth and decided to go search around the hospital area, and on the way i hit the hill gap ive been trying forever with a nice clean landing. we searched through st clair hosppppp but didnt find anything, so we moved on to jewver, where there are 2 10 sets back to back, with high as nipps rails. clarey souled the first one, and then was trying top porn when he suddenly dieeeeeeeeeeed. it looked like a cat was thrown over the stairs, it was sooo wigged out. somehow he scratched his back and his balls at the same time.... annnnyways- cheech tested out the new babys by doing a steezus soul down the first rail, to 180 mute the second set. BLING

Cheech got his new custom Estillo2s and they steeezus christ. Bladinaction took forever.

A tight 15 session went down on tuesday (i think) and well, no details, just highlights: Cheech dropped the first bomb with a switch porn to topacid,and a switch soul to topsoul and then took a break to do some of his beautiful filming, but came back at the end and hit 2 CLEAN back royales, and a sick cab sweatstance to back royale, while talking. and oh yeah, a pathetic true miz. ahaha. some abp yinzers showed up and did hit a few thigns, the only thing i really remember is andrew d's makio to topacid, and soul to sweatstance. pluke is still rewarming from his injury break, but hit 2 nice makio to front unitys. i was trying true top soul forever and even the abps left before i landed it, but i ended up getting it finally, and hitting another right after to cleanse the landing.

June edit is officially posted! Some of the rails in there are not familiar ones, and thats bc they were at UCLA... Colin and I visited last week. Its no wonder east coast skating is tech and west coast is more stunt-oriented, cuz everything there is 1.) laid out for you and 2.) huge. there are so many big rails out there, and we didnt film them all. Colin hit a 29 stair kink second attempt and we didnt film that. Cheech souled around a long curving S rail, And there was also a rail with so many kinks we couldnt count them all. Nobody did it, but it was big. haha. We DID get, however, colin's soul AO soul down a decently large and fast kink, A drop down royale a curved rail, a 13 stair 180, and a topsoul a curving kink. Cheech managed to do a true miz on the 13, even after dying, and also a long soul on a 26 stair rail, and then a zerospin mizou on the short one. He also front and back royaled it and Colin backslid it. Well this concludes our Cali skating and my update. peace.

Clarey returns this evening from Whistler, BC.

ILL ADVISED PREMIER was off the hizzaaazymcnazzyfo shAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy! huge sessioning went down that was highly enjoyable, everyone liked the vid, loads of sweaty men were packed in my basement ( as usual) and tons of ZA was eatin ( for all you sewicklians) haaa well more news about that in a second, but THE NEW EDIT IS UP AND RUNNING - GO TO VIDEO AND DOWNLOAD IT! more to come soon!

Ill Advised session:
As planned, we all met up at my haus at 12:30, and waited for everyone to get there. The Sewickleyans were late though, so we headed up to Lincoln elementary and they caught up there later. We started on fat silvers where Joanna did royale and pornstar, and cheech did back farv to soul 540 out. Colin did royale AO topsoul 270 front royale, and Koliner did a front unity. There were so many skaters that the session here was like bees swarming a hive. Some heads left the chaos to attack tall silvers. After a while, everyone moved up to the tall silvers where transfers went down like whoa. Cheech did a switch soul gap across to regular soul, and colin hit his patented soul to royale AO topsoul, and soul gap AO soul AO topsoul, and soul gap royale budget top acid. Whew. After Lincoln, We migrated (some in sky’s hippie van, some in the suburban, some in Koliner’s Nissan, and the rest on foot) to Jefferson middle school. We warmed up on the benches as usual, and some highlights were stephon’s top acid the top and topsoul 540, mike koliner’s outspin soul, and my Dad’s soul grind, Christ grind, and makio. Colin did his usual list of budgets so I wont even mention them all. We then moved on to the infamous 15 where some skaters had already started sessioning. Colin battled backslide AO pornstar all day and finally landed it last trick. In the meantime, Alex drexler souled it for his first handrail, mike sharps hit some pimp switchups, like soul to backslide and soul back farv. Plake hit his first makio since the dreaded injury, and is officially back in action. Cheech hit a cab topsoul and a truespin mizou, and mike koliner an AO top porn.

Finally, we moved on briefly to the new high school 18 stair rails, which we had to hop a high fence to get to because of the construction. Although they were high, and most people were starved for some zza, cheech got first dibbs opening up with a soul, and mike and clarey souled it also, plake ripped a makio, and colin royaled it to fakie. This concluded the session as we all made our way to little nipple’s pizzaria for mad zza and wangs.

The video was off the hizzy and the basement was packed. I’m obligated to post the infamous:
Joanna Bernstein's top 5
(in no specific order)

1.) Colin- soul to gap the kink soul
2.) Clarey- true topsoul to topsoul 885 box
3.) Plake-bs unity then back farv kink line at 885

A crazy Oakland session went off Saturday as KKC minus Compton and Jimi met up with the Sewickleyans. We met at Schenly and started off on the high curving kink where Clardawg busted a stylie soul and then almost a top porn. After a long time Cheech landed a top acid and we moved to the grommet flat rails for a bit. A couple switchups happened and then we went to the stair rails. These were just destroyed. Clarey set the bar pretty high with the first trick, a top porn. Stephon then hit a soyale and a back royale and colin hit a kindgrind and an alleyoop top porn. After that clarey did a nice topsoul and Stephon a misfit. Then Cheech ripped a truespin mizou and a cab makio revert. Finally, colin added insult to injury with a backslide budget AO porn. The rails were slaughtered after that and we moved on to taco bell with a couple switches going down there. Nice session, yinz. Peace.

LET ME TELL YOU SUMTHIN… some amazing sessions have taken place in the Lebanon region, but im only going to name a few. First off, a sick session of the 15 stair went down last Tuesday since we randomly had off school. Oh yeah. It was election day or something. Anyway, clarey peter and I rolled up to the 15 with some fresh wood for the always ghetto run up, and were hyped to skate it. When we got there we saw a new up and coming lebo roller brian

I am also working on a massive edit to be available for public viewing briefly after Ill Advised comes out, which should be in the next few weeks. Cheech is hard at work trying to finish it by June 13th. THE NEWEST KKC MEMBER, PETER SHANNON, IS OFFICIALLY IN! AFTER CLEANLY RIPPING FRONTSIDE OF YOUTH! Check back for more news and pics of peter.

Cheech~ Ill Advised is coming along nicely, and so far I have completed intro and philly #DU sections, with clardawg prof almost completed and park and creativity about 2/3 done. That means compton and cheech sections are still to go as well as Wrecked, sessions and credits. Which means, hurry up and get your tricks in all ye grommits if u want to be in it. back to colin.

A mini mini session went down today while i was attempting to get some final footage for comptons profile... we skated the 15 for a bit and i did a gap to royale to budget ao porn but fell riding over the crappy runout on the landing. THEN mike koliner busted a completely ill frontside unity, and we headed out. Me and compton moved on to the infamous rec center roll, where matt, the infamous roll master of all time laced it extremely clean... check down for more updates...

Ok well some mad yellow sessioning has gone down with infinite numbers of tricks being thrown... almost too many to list... HOWEVER being the master of all news, I SHALL LIST THEM ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL MUHAHHAHAHAH. well at least ill say some highlights i remember. ok first off we all would like to thank cheech on being a good sport and always skating this rail with us even though its on his switch side, making all of his tricks 10 times sweeter than any of us, such as switch soul to back royale to true soul, and a sick switch grabbing makio to take off skate and land on one foot to put skate back on ( disgusting ). Compton who isnt a big rail dogg was finally getting used to the shima 3s that he borrowed from plake, and was hitting mizou to frontside royale, and makio front royale alley oop fish.CLAREY finally came out of his hibernation in time for the start of summer and was throwing down under the severe pressure of having liz running track just below the rail... he hit a soul top porn to back roy, a topsoul to true top soul, a top porn back royale true makio, a top porn budget topsoul to true top soyale,a soul to backside unity, and a soul to soyale to budget top acid... good job clarey. Clarey also tested out his new fiziks with a super clean 180 off the blue concession stand roof next to yellow. what plake did shall go unnamed for now because his doctors and parents may get mad, talk to me personally if you want to hear this illness... I learned some new switchups and got used to the new ufs k2s which i am desperately in love with. i did soul to true miz to outspin soul, soul ao top porn to inspin soul, soul soyale budget topacid to back nugen, and soul to soyale to budget ao porn to ao top acid budget soul. Cheech then absoulteley destroyed the deadly slick square rails at the high school makioing the 18 stair sqaure by yellow rail, while it was under construction and with bad runup, and then went strait to the 14 stair drop off and makioed that. what.

Well ive been truley lazy and havent made an update in a long time, so ill try to give a general summary of whats been going on around here... first off, MY NEW UFS K2S HAVE OFFICIALLY ARRIVED and let me tell you they are ill. So comfy and all around amazing. If you ride k2 you need these skates! A decent late night linclon session went down, we all skated fat silvers, and clarey did a sketchy backslide budget alley oop porn, and cheech did a back nugen to soul 540 out, and almost got the back nugen to soul 720 out! came close but we had to go home when he was about to rip it... Also cheech backsided the whole length of the sloping fat silves in under 10 tries ( ill ). This was my first day skating the new k2s so i was just getting the feel for them, but i did hit a royale budget ao porn to ao top acid 3 out, and a soyale to budget top acid. BRB SUPPERTIME MORE TO COME SOON... ok its one week later and im officially done with diner... however the sessions will be posted above ( yellow rail, high school) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALEX CLAREY! 4/22

16 years of orangness still going strong!

On the final day of spring break there was destined to be a sick session, but when i woke up and saw that the ground was wet i was a bit worried. Luckily it dried up, and me cheech compton clarey and koliner all met up at jeff where we as usual warmed up on benches, but luckily garret drexler aka GARY came to the rescue and took us away in his minivan to chartiers valley middle school. There we sessioned a long 9 stair handrail for a short while where cheech hit a front farv, and i did a front royale to fakie. The janitors came out told us we had 15 minutes to leave, so we proceeded to skate for another 10 minutes when a cop came cruuuusing on by the school. We ran for cover in the minivan and he saw us and floored it up the hill to where we were. he then said "Are there any skateboards in that car". we said no officer there arent. He proceeded to go on about how the janitors called about skateborders being at the school, and we told him we were rollerblading. Fortunatley for the underground nature of 'aggressive skating' he figured we were just spandex wearing wierdo's cruising around the parking lot. He dismissed the skating and asked garret what his name was. Garret said camly 'garret'. the cop said 'OOOOOK Gary let me see your liscence. Garret and the cop went back and fourth trying to figure out what his name was, and finally the cop asked to see his liscence. garret came in with a powerfull " uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... sorry officer i dont think i haaaaaaave that". hahaha! to make a long story short, i got boogers all over my face, nobody had a shirt on, and we left for jeff to Chow down on the 15. When we got there nobody was present, but we started to session anyway. after a couple warm up hits all the younger kids came over and watched and attempted it as we skated it. i tried soyale a couple of times and finally landed that for the first time. Koliner hit a soul, and then a soul to backside. Compton after two attempts hit it for the first time with a clean mizou. But of course compton being the perfectionist that he is hit it at least 20 more times until he had it exactly how he wanted it, and with a 180 out. Cheech finally went for a couple tricks and destroyed. He did a top acid, top acid to back royale, switch soul to budget porn, and a true miz. Garrets little brother then proceded to try a makio down it while dressed in full umpire attire (look for this in I.A. credits) and rolled all the way down. Those two things pretty much ended the session and everybody left to go home except me cheech and compton. I stayed to try a backslide budget ao porn. It took me alot of tries but i finally pulled it off. Cheech unluckily was rewinding the tape and missed it, so i tried it again, but peeled off and hit the step breaking my skate. I couldnt backslide anymore and it was pointless to keep trying. So the amazing sesion ended and everybody went home satisfied with the spring break sessioning

CONGRATS TO EMILY COOPERSTEIN ON THE 9999th hit of the website! Her name will now live in infamy for all time! as i made this update we officially reacher 10,000!... a milestone... lots of updates are soon to come now that were officially in the 10,000 club... look forward to them . PEACE HOMIES!

BEING the park rats that we are, we sessioned 885 again this thursday which was pretty nice. Me Cheech Compton Joe and Clarey went and when we got there we saw some other younger rollers (friends of koliner -im me at k2skater343 so i can spell it right) who were throwing down. Koliner threw down a soul to ao top porn, and an ao top porn on the big ledge, and a nice 180 to flat off the high part of the pipe. His friend with the genyses Mike Sharp was also throwing down for how little he was- he 540ed to flat off the 6 foot quarter and porn to topacided the big ledge! Cheech hopped the box and also 540 abstract to flat over it which was sick. Clarey back unitied the big ledge, and top porn to true top soyale the switchup toy first attempt. I outspin soul to topsouled on the switchup toy and outspin souled the big ledge. Onthe bike park rail, joe souled across and down and cheech true mized and true porned across and down. that was the end of the session and nobody died too hard which was nice, and koliner give me the names of the other kids - thanks

This weekend a sick North Shore Session went down but it was overshadowed by plakes DISLOCATED ELBOW! he fell doing a backside unity on the 10 stair greens and popped his elbow right out and hyperextended it all the way back. We will update with more details on the injury and how long it will be till hes back on skates. The fall should be up in video clips soon or im me at K2skater343. In other news some fresh pictures were taken at the 15 of some pretty sick tricks, and they should be up soon. check pix section in the next couple of days...

A crazy 885 session went down thursday after school- everybody from kkc managed to get there and we had the entire park to ourselves. Clarey luckily had a fresh juice mix and the 885 people put it in for us which set a good tempo for the session. we of course started off on the switchup toy, where plake hit a soyale alley oop fish inspin topsoul, a makio front unity topsoul true topsoul, makio top acid budget soyale, and a sick makio to thread the needle. compton hit a soul to back nuguen, and i hit a royale ao topsoul 270 front royale, ao top porn inspin soul, and royale budget top acid to back nuguen. after that we moved onto the doble square rail, where plake did a backside unity and back nuguen, and cheech negative makioed to 180 out. compton rolled up the side and gapped over the rail and all the ledge boxes, and i hit a top acid across to back royale down. plake hit a backside around the curving quarterpipe, and this crazy drop down unity cess thats hard to explain but you will see it in ILL ADVISED park section. then we sessioned the big ledge, where plake threw down a sick soul to true top soyale, and a soul to soyale, compton souled to 180 out, and i backslid, ao top porned, and backslide bugdget ao porn. it was a pretty sweet session for a thursday and you can look for the footage in I.A. We had the first S2S session in a long time- we got rained out but a couple of good tricks went down--- Clarey hit a backslide budget ao porn and a back savanahh, cheech ripped an insane 360 inspin soul, and then a 360 inspin soul to soyale, and THEN a 360 inspin mizou to fastslide 270 out...I was ripping my first session in over a month and was a bit rusty, but still ripped fakie 3 true mizou, fakie 3 true porn, kindgrind to fakie 3 true miz, kindrind cab topsoul (complements of shuda) and an alle oop top porn to inspin soul. plake busted out a makio on the top of the bench to thread the needle out, and a switch royale on top. then the session was rained out- but there is more to come this weeekend... also cheech made the ILL ADVISED trailor- which hopefully will be up soon... check back... also chriss happ wants in the news, and we give him credit for knowing what a 'farfegnugen' was. Good work.

In today's news, anyone encountering these skates must immediately purchase them and give them to me (CHEECH) or face the consequencies...

look at those beauties!

Rumor has it that Alex Clarey is purchasing deshi's in the next week or so. If this happens I (cheech) will be sure to roll them and post a full review! check back soon.
Deshi website
Clarey profile is up and running! go check it aut. Colin will give the update of the recent sessions...

two sessions went down that im going to group into one- this sunday and monday... Sunday it started off as me and cheech and clarey went up to nips for lunch... we went in and saw some kids reppin mindgame hats and other rolling wear and were suprised to see some new faces. We talked to them and they knew who kkc was even though they were from peters... after me and cheech ate some wings and pizza and clarey sweated,( oh yeah and we discovered PLAYAZ: the 50cent urban action figyaz... collect em all) we headed over to linclon where we met up with compton and the two kids from peters scott and ( -- ). we sessioned fat silves where clarey hit a nice top porn to 180 out and cheech hit a few makio to front royales. from their we went to the 8 stair drop off ledge (as seen in clareys profile) where clarey hit a soul after 8 billion attempts hahahah. We moved on to a pretty sick double set that cheech 180ed third attempt, and got some nice roadrash on his buttcheeck while doing.... ANYWAY, the next session was today, at the ghetto heaven our lady of victory school. its closed except for a daycare on the bball court, so we never get hassaled. Plake and Cheech sessioned the high handicaps, with palke hitting a grabbing makio and a makio to back nuguen, and cheech hitting a porn to front roy, makio, and makio to back nuguen. you can also look forward to this stuff in ILL ADVISED comin june 2003. Another highlight was peter's attempted disaster hill roll. he tried to gap 7 fee of flat grass to land on a grassy bank, but just gripped and got worked 3 times in a row... good stuff. keep reading below theres more.

SESSION THIS SATURDAY... March 22nd- meet at jeffreson at 12:30 and we'll move on from their- bring everybody you can... well the sessioned happened- and things were ripped pretty clean. We all met up as usual at jeff and warmed up on the benches until everybody got their. Plake brought his ghetto blaster, which has been present at the last few sessions to get us juiced. and jeff nothing major was hit but plake did do a nice topsoul to budget back savannah. from their we headed to the high school where compton scoped out a sick drop by the 22ledge and hit it after a few tries, but as usual was pissed off with his slightly sketched landing, and he tried it at least 10 heel breaking times more until he demolished his lower back and retired for the day. from their we went to this ghetto rail down a hill with a steep run up and a steep landing into an intersection. Somehow cheech and plake managed to hit it, with plake hitting a grabbing makio and a soul and cheech hitting a soul. Clarey also ripped some nice nature skating with a disaster royale on a root, and an attempted disaster kindgrind to kill himself. after that we headead over to mineos for some din and and then headed over to the t stop drop ( as seen in clarey profile ) where clarey 180ed the big drop and plake hit the last 13 of the 13 flat 13 flat 13 kink. Plake went for it all but the cops arrived and shut down the session. He took our cam and the tape but eventually we got it back from him (by walking down to the station in our socks). from their we went into ghetto dormont, and cheech porned and makioed a nipple high 10 stair ledge at saint bernard along the way. When we got into dormont we made our way all the way down to brookline regional school and sessioned the banks. 11 year old robbie bruner- who had just skated the first time since he broke his leg threw down a 5 on the bank, and a gap to 5 on a double set... look forward to this young gun... anyway at the banks friend of kkc shae smith busted out his infamous cess slide talent with a drop down royale cess down the bank , and a makio stall a windown to drop down royale cess to fakie. cheech and plake both hit a sick hit of the 7 stair rail down the bank by stalling a mizou on a ledge next to the rail, and then gapping to makio the rail. all in all it was a good session and we covered a ton of ground... look forward to seeing the footie in ILL ADVISED coming june 2003. PeACE

ITS OFFICIAL.... I GOT OFF MY LAZY BUTT AND MADE AN UPDATE!!!!!!! well, things have been slow around the site for the past few weeks, but with the warmer weather and our return from a sick ski trip to vail; the last of the season (where by the way i racked my hip and back and should be out from skating for a week or more), the site should be back to its quick pace in no time. First and foremost i would like to announce that there will be - i repeat WILL BE AN EDIT OF THE MONTH APRIL... were bringing back the well loved edits o da months at the requests of fellow rollers and since massive amounts of skating will be going down in the near future. You can look forward to cheech pounding out a good one, and hit us up at k2skater343 or cheech1811 if you have any ideas for songs. secondly, the profiles of me, cheech, and plake are up and running simply click our faces on the home page... claredogg 'multi nickname' Clarey's section is in the works, as is the profile of steezed out breaker Matt Compton.

The first sessioning in a loooong time went down today, with a decent group showing up for a laid back jeffreson session. We started out as usual with the infamous blue benches, were clarey threw down a 360 to porn to fakie followed by an inspin topsoul. Cheech matched Clarey and upped the ante with a clean 360 to porn 360 revert. Plake followed that up with a nice alley oop porn budget alley oop soul, and a fakie 3 soyale to alley oop topsoul. Once we had officially killed the benches we moved to the well-loved 15 stair handrail where Cheech opened things up with a nice freestyle fish. after that i laced an orangutang style backside with my freshly purchased soap shoes... and after a few attempts, plake laced a nice back nuguen, followed by a sick makio to back nuguen. Cheech went off after that hitting a switch soul to sweatstance, X grind, X grind to backside royale, and a steezed topacid. Things were getting to be to sick to be true when plake busted out a sit down back torque. Everybody went nuts as the wind picked up and the rain began to fall... as i biked away i thought about how sick the session was... then i crashed the bike and flew over the handlebars into a muddpuddle which was the perfect ending to the session.

Well, reality hit me today, and it seems as though i will need to start paying for bandwidth since the newest ski edit was taken down by angelfire. I have to research into how much money i have and if anybody wants to contribute feel free. We'll probably register a new domain name also if that happens.
Also, you might notice that there are few updates in the last forever and that is generally from the snow and ice we have had. And next tuesday we will be in Vail, Co. for some skiing so there wont be anything too new till i get back. Right now check out comedy for Z Gawl...

A massive oakland session went down with the entire crew and more on saturday, hitting up milliones and schenly high school. Plake's dad brought me cheech compt and clarey to milliones to session where we met up with shae smith from s-dubs crew (www.s-dubs.com .... not up yet though) and two sick kids from iowa who didn't speak at all. besides this breif comment me-"are you the kids from iowa?" them-"yeah" and nothing else besides that was spoken, altough they were packing an incredible camera ( gl1 with death lens i believe). The session started out fast and too many tricks went down to name. Some of the highlights included cheech gapping the grass on the long rail to mizou, plakes knee destructing uniy cess slides across the middle ledge, cheeches swith soul all the way around the curve,my fakie 7 off the bank, and clareys cess slide down it. from there we made the long trek to schenly high school where the session chilled out a bit. Everyone through down on the low rails with some highlights including shae's long backroyales, comptons long fronsides, plakes front torque to fishy, and my front nugen to fish to backroyale to true makio. After we finished sessioning the handicaps i went to the 9 stair rail and did a frontside royale and a topsoul. plake ran over to the curving kink and nailed a makio second attempt. The Iowans randomly left after that and were never heard from again. From there we headed to the O for the first time ever, and on the way discovered a sickeningly low 45 stair handrail that kinks and curves and has steps three feet in length!. plake attempted a droop fish and rode the whole rail with some hand assistance, however the grind was so long the camera died ( total elapsed grind time: 1 day 3 hours and 42 minuets ) Once we reached the O we bought a large fry that was so massive me clarey compt and shae could only take down a third of it. so we left and met back up with cheech and plake at the infamous hillman brass rails. while sessioning i fell on a cab soul and hit my shin so hard, i took off my pants. When an officer saw me with no pants on him and his two other dougnut hungry buddies chased us and fined me a hundred dollars. that baisically ended the session pretty fast and headed home from there. BUT THERES MORE... we went back to plakes house for some gamecube playing, pizza eating, and video watchin to end the good day. a great session for the wintery weather at hand... look for the footage in ILL ADVISED coming may or june 2003!

Yesterday the sickest backcountry kicker session ever seen by mt. lebanon went off, With huge lincoln loops and backflips by colin cheech and leech. El sneado went balls to the wall with his first ever backflip that he almost snapped his neck on. video will be up eventually.
in other news, cheech prof page will be up shortly, and clardawg and comptons are still in development. (i need more pics)

Colin has been slacking off lately, but today I finished some profiles and they are up! check back for the others. I also put up video of colin's nasty fall that he hasnt fully recovered from. click here

From cheech,

We're up and running with two new videos on the vid page- check them out. profiles are in the works to make us feel good about ourselves and colin will be back soon with more news. there are also photos from the 885 session in pics. ok i'm out, go watch X-games

From cheech,

KKC has experienced a dreadful loss. because i had stored some videos on other pages, and angelfire is a steaming pile of greedy idiots, a majority of the videos will no longer function. I have not yet determined how i am going to go about this, since i dont have cash for my own server.

Oh wait, we just figured it out and the videos should be working again soon- no videos that end with /kkc3 will be working right now so its not the bandwith that is the problem... woodward edit is complete but wont be up until we get the problem fixed, so check back every couple of days and we'll put it in the news when its done.

Colin's Underestimated review on BE-MAG

We've racked up our 5000th hit!

WE WENT TO WOODWARD FOR A DAY and the session was nuts. there are way too many tricks to describe so an edit will be on its way soon

1/20/03- New pics added today from yesterdays snow session. While the rest of the crew was skiing me cheech and compt and doooooooody hit up south central dormont for some dormented skating. we started out at lincoln fat silves where cheech opened things up with a royale to alley oop topside ass ripper. he pretty much ended it for the hour there but he did hit a nice ture mizou ( which we got a picture of...see pics section). compton was basically chilling and getting frostbitten hands but on the fats he hit a clean mizou and a short alley oop mizou. I hit my first back royale on those rails ( thanks to cheech ) and a royale alley oop tosoul and a 270 back royale inspin top acid ( we have a plain top acid picture in pics section also ). from there we moved on to the switcup toy tiny red rail behind a cvs where compton hit a soul back nuguen but we got busted very quickly and headed to the famous dormont 3... Compton busted the illmatic T roll ( pics section ) and cheech alley oop neg mizoued the top of the 3 ledge. Oh yeah and i did some improv toe spin in a vertical tube with a hole at the top. from their we headed deep into dormont park to disater rail, a rail that has a 2 foot gap to a flat rail, which then proceeds to go down 7 stairs. cheech hit a gap to mizou and gap to soul, and a soul to soyale on the slant.... ok brb i gotta eat diner

A nice snow session went down at jeffreson and hoover today with me clarey plake compton and doody... we started off at frontside of youth were everybody was ripping- plake hit a fs royale to 270 out, a back nuguen, and a sweet back torque. doody hit a nice makio which was his first lock of F.O.Y. doody needs to hit foy and the 11 set to get in... i hit a grabbing front torque on Frontside of youth and fell hard a couple of times trying top porn true top soul and then i gave up. we went over to bench where me and clarey battled in skate and i won just by a hair---clarey hit his first fakie 3 soyale and 360ed out, and he hit a crazy inspin porn. i hit a 540 soyale to 3 out ... Compton of course ripped alley oop mizou to 540 out, and soul to budget porn- his first budget switchup. from there we went to hoover where clarey tried to 5 a large loading dock and ate it- and i did a wallride to 180 off of it. plake hit a nice fakie 3 too and it was hard since the whole thing was iced over. then we skated the perfect hoover rail and everyone hit tricks... but i fell really wierd and messed up my knee- ill put the clip of it up sometime soon. i think im gonna be out for at least a week or two. it was a good session and then we went to plakes and ate and watched the game--- it was pretty ill ( oh yeah and clarey got humped by a dog and we filmed it... go check it out on the secret page if u know where that is)

In other news... Cheech is going to be working on getting PROFILES up on the site- with interviews pictures and clips...look for it soon

Well the KKC website is about to get its 4,000th hit! yes thats FOUR THOUSAND. for this massive event im going to create a list of the top 10 best moments (tricks, sessions, comedy) in kkc history up until this point... wait for the update coming soon to news. only about a hundred more hits to go....

An oakland and CMU session went down with nothing major happening because we were kinda short on time, but some highlights will make it in to the edit of the mont... to start of we skated hillman ledge, and i hit back torque, plake hit mistrial, and joanna hit pornstar. cheech hit the lege that ends to a stair gap with a nice switch soul to 180 gap. it was kind of a lazy session and nobody really skated hard so we moved on to the next spot. we stopped at a handicap on the way to the cmu kinks and cheech hit a mizou to front royale, and a makio front royale, alley oop top porn as well. clarey plake and jimmy collins were off sessioning a small ledge in the backround and i heard some new stuff was hit by everybody. i hit a ten flat ten kink on the way to the super low flat slant flat slant kink ( the kink i souled is edit of the month october). cheech topsouled across the flat and down the first slant, and also hit switch soul to sweatstance the first slant. plake droop makioed the whole thing but unfortunatley clarey was soo lazy when he was filming he didnt even follow plake for the last portion. i royaled from slant to flat, cab souled, and soul stall first step to soul the slant, to topsoul on the flat. after that it started snowing and we had to leave but it was a decent session.

The MISSISSIPPIans are up for christmas and they took us to 885 for their first pensylvania session since summer. hopefully we can get some footage for edit of the month of there crazy mississipi style. some higlights were clarey's destruction of the big ledge ( royale, back unity, back nugen, makio to fish, and cab top porn.) he also destroyed himself trying to hit makio to fish a second time and was pretty much done for the day . cheech hit topsoul truetopsoul and topacid backroyale on the newley named "switchup toy" ( the little rail ) and he also hit a disaster true miz on the sqare double rail that we never skate. i had a good day and hit back torque on the big ledge, top porn across the square rail, and i hit the death curve also ( joe got it on film but had the DATE on...) joe by the way finally gets in news for his soul to top porn on the little rail, and aj also gets in for his 540 to flat over the flat rail bank with full on sippi style- good job-overall it was a good session but unfortunatly no footie will make it to eodm.

MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody- school is out and some nice sessions should be going down soon. Me clarey plake and cheech have already made one trip down to north shore and it was a nice session. Cheech hit a super clean air out of the bank to street and clarey 180ed into the bank off of the silver rail first attempt and cheech showed it up by dropping in from the top of the silver traffic light box. we moved on from that to the infamous green rails ( the 10, 8, 8, set). I 180ed over the 10 stair rail but cheech had the highlight of the day with a nice run- soul the 10 set, swith soul the 8, and makio to fakie the last 8. i hit a cab soul on the 10 set and a fishy on the 8. we moved to 100 kinks after that where plake hit the whole thing drop makio 4th try. cheech did a good job too and hit 6 kinks on a mizou. after that we moved on to salomon ledge where clarey did back unity and i did back torque. cheech and plake sessioned a ledge over rocks to drop next to salmon ledge and hit a few tricks on that- look forward to some clips in edit o da month JANUARY.

Addiction premier went off clean as day and everybody liked the vid... before we watched it though we had a nice session with some kids from sewickly who we met up with at the high school and then moved to amerifit ledges from there. some of the highlights were cheech mizou the 17 stair slick rail at amerifit, and stephon backroyale to 450 up the kinking parking lot rail. we had a mini ramp session in the back and by reequest of joanna... joanna was doing backside savannah to fakie when she racked herself hard and splintered various parts of her body... also nolan wildfire killed himself once again trying to drop in from top bar- footage will be up in edit of the month JANUARY

The title for the next vid kkp3 (which has been known as "the vid after addiction" for so long )has finally been chosen thanks to my dads old saying on crazy tricks.... kkp3.................. ILL ADVISED

The making of ADDICTION

These are photos taken of my cubicle that I have lived in for the past 2 months, in case you were wondering what its like to edit a film. -cheech

We now have a shorter domain- KKC.owns.it brought to you by---- http://www.has.it We racked up our 3000th hit!

is nearing completion and will be premiered next weekend! anyone interested in seeing it is welcome to crash by... its this saturday (december 21st) come around 7:30 and we'll end it at 11- bring your skates if you feel the need for some pipe and rail action...

This is cheech reporting... I put up the December edit today because we had off school and also because i dont feel like we'll be doing a whole lot of skating in the snow. Because Skates to school fridays are now taken up by the ski trip, we will start a variation S2S thursday.

Today (12/05/02) we had a day off because of snow reasons and a pic of pluke being thrown off the jump in peters yard is up in comedy... check it out. OH BY THE WAY...PLAKE OWES CHEECH TWO BUCKS from the bet he made that he would topside rich rails for at least 8 stairs that fatefull day long ago. Pay up plake

A couple of short but nice jeffreson sessions have gone down in the past week, and although nothing major was hit, COMPTON officially rejoined the cru for his first session in a while. the infamous JOHN frohliger went into old school mode and joined us for one of these sessions rockin clarey's beat up details. he hit a top acid, topsoul, and cab soul all on bench and may be joining us randomly to skate every once in a while in the near future... so look out. Edit O Da Month december is in the works but we are looking for a song so anyone who wants to donate should feel free. This friday a big session is in the works and hopefully some good stuff will go down. CHEECH revisited his first handrail this weekend, making a two day trip up to montreal. ( 4 stair square drop off ) he hit up D-Structure while he was there and tried on the new UFS K2's for me... rumour has it the soul size is bigger than TRS. check back for more updates....

A snow session went off today, with cheech rockin a top acid on the 15 Cheech topside acid and colin fakie 720. plake makioed a JCC kink and then we ended with colin hitting a soul down the huge ledge at the high school- thats 21 stairs! crazy... cheech is on a mission to hit it switch. In other news, the UNDERESTIMATED review is up right here so check it out if you're curious.

UNDERESTIMATED A video by denial clothing This video can only be described by one word: Incredible. The video starts out with cool introduction showing all of the skater’s faces and listing their names. The pre-intro buildup is an amazing combo of incredible skating and editing. After this the video goes to basically the same intro that is their preview online, only the tricks that are cut out are played later on, along with some additional clips including Chris farmers amazing 540 true mizou. The introduction song is rage against the machine: know your enemy, a nice beginning song to really get you juiced. After the intro comes the profiles, the first being Chris farmer’s section. Although I didn’t like the song to much his incredible tricks made up for it. You see all the usual spins into every grind including a 450 back royale and a 540 true miz. I was also amazed at the incredible hops he has. He hops onto rails and walls that are easily neck and head height. One of the highlights of this section was his 450 backroyale on a double kink. Incredible. The next section is Mike Elias’s section, a good change from the hip hop style of Farmer to Elias’s rock style of skating. He has some insane cess slide variations and some artistic tricks as well. This section was not one of my favorite sections simply because so much of it is small ledges. His highlight would have to be his sit down back torque on the famous William penn ledge. The next section is Sean Kelso’s section, which is incredible. A nice hip-hop song makes the section easy to watch and the skating goes perfect with it. He specializes in incredible switchups and of course front torques. Some of his highlights are 360 inspin topsouling a kink, front torqueing a 35 stair, and of course front torqueing the William penn ledge. The next section is shared by Tim Taylor and Adam killgore. Taylor has decent section. I haven’t seen much of his skating before and he did have some decent ledge skills, but it was shadowed by Seans profile. Kilgore’s section is very short, and not one of the top sections, but Kilgore is definatley progressing. He tears up a lot of the famous Pittsburgh spots. Next comes Walt Austin, who has some nice cess slides and gaps. He skates to a slow rap song by a guy who sounds like he is high. Its not the most amazing section of the video but it is in the top 5. One of the highlights is a gap over the rail and entire hill that malik true top porns on heart’s cover. He also has some tricks in the banks of PNC ( which is exiting to us Pittsburghers.) Rob Tompson’s section is incredible. His hardcore rock style of skating goes perfectly with the system of a down music he skates to (toxicity). His skating is always burly and his section is probably the most deadly of them all. High speed 360’s on to grinds and switchups on drop off rails make this a section to watch. Its nice and long too. Jimmy Shuda comes next and has an amazing section filled with high hops, long ledges, and his signature dope style. Some highlights were back torqueing up a handrail and a clean DISASTER cab topsoul at penns landing. Dustin Halleren’s section is nice with his solid style and unique switchups. He completely destroys the William penn rails with crazy transfers and switchups ( oh yeah and he has some tricks and the PNC banks as well). Next is the Colin Kelso section, one of the most anticipated of them all. Filled with his newfound “thread the needle” skills and some long runs it is a section to watch. It was nice to hear another rock song in the video to go with his section, His higlight would have to be his 900 over the 12 set, ITS ILL! And until you see the video you wont know what I mean, but he has this sick water grind as well. Will Gordon, who comes next, has a nice section (he hits taco bell rail in It) which includes some incredible ledge talent. Some of his highlights include a 360 to soul on a drop of ledge, a death roll at Hillman library (Compton, its yours next!), and a zerospin savanna at the William penn ledge. THE SECTION WEVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR… Chris Cheshire, is sweet and super smooth. A nice hip hop song matches his perfect style and incredible switchup vocabulary. This kid also has some true backslide ability. A few highlights include a 720 out of the pnc bank to street, a huge fakie 7, and of course his insane switchups on everything imaginable. The friends section is next which gives the video a well needed break from its constant profile mode. Everything in this section is a highlight and shows skating from all around the U.S. ( including Pittsburgh!) the fatboy number one has a trick in this section as well (scott Heinz). Chris haffey does an amazing backslide on a head height drop of rail. This ends the video. Overall it was beautifully edited in the beginning, but went pretty simple for the rest of the video, had a pretty good music selection, but most important of all it had incredible tricks. Everybody reppin the east coast needs to go buy this video, because I guarantee one of your favorite skaters rips it.

Penn State session added to video

11/24/02- saturday penn state session was off the hook, though colin didnt go. Some crazy rail tricks went down and finally clarey got back into his groove. A state college spot check edit will be up soon. Penn state is the biggest beer school ever. We got back at 1 in the morning, I took a mexican shower and then woke up early for the 885 competition. Colin placed first in his division and Cheech came in 2nd, with samantha somethin taking third. Finally, Kounter Kulture Productions is combining forces with NOLAN WILDFIRE to create his profile. It has everything from... uh...zebras to bush jumping to basic stupidity. It will be up soon as well.

This weekend a helluva lot of skating is happening... Saturday morning we're heading up to state college, for a Penn state session courtesy of pluke. then we get back sunday morning for the huge 885 competition. results and video/pics will be up soon.

New photos are up in both comedy and photo sections. Addiction is finished except for credits which will be done on a new editor because my editor got jocked. In other huge news art is hooking me up with about 10,000$ of equipment for digital editing. sick. We discovered some sweet new rails 5 minutes from our house- everything right and left sided. a handicap, a 15 stair, a ten stair, and a ten flat ten kink. all blue and slick. A pic of them will be up tonight... 11/9- New pic... oakland session went down while i was doing yardwork.

I HAVE OFFICIALLY PURCHASED UNDERESTIMATED... it should be coming in next week and the site will feature a full review in the news section,

in other news the neighbors doggy just pooped in our yard...

A huge hoover (a.k.a. JEWver) and jeffreson session went off and everyone was glad to session a new spot. The mini frontside of youth rail at hoover could be one of our new favorite spots. look for some tricks on this beauty to show up in edit of the month november (soul top porn budget topsoul, front nugen). also i hit a trick i had been eyeing up for a while at this loading dock behind hoover, the wallride to soul. (also gonna be in eodm). we also discovered UNDERCOVER BEAUTY RAILS hidden in a high security OLD PEOPLE PRISON. estimated about 45 stairs and 8 kinks.... they shall be hit. Also, edit of the month november is in the works and even though its early i can tell its gonna be ill)

Well, colin has been slacking as far as news go so this is cheech bringin it. Aaron Feinburg won the hoedown... and underestimated should be out soon. Talk to clardawg about that because he's down with the ind. UHHH... Clardawg15. Ah yes, the new fiziks-

and, the new USD prototypes... (they were really pissed this pic got out)

This week, s2s friday and the following sessions were off the hizzook... friday we hit st. winnies. Colin opened it up with a top porn i believe, and then it went off. I hit a sweatstance with hurt knee and jimi plake top porned to strattle grass. colin topsouled and cab souled it, and then for some tech i came up fakie, mizou stalled the second step and hop to miz revert out on the rail. I also went fakie 270 front royale but slid out. Last, plake killed himself on a back royale. he hung up and bashed his face real bad. bloody nose and lips and messed up wrists. then we sessioned howe in the dark for a bit. Saturday we met at St. annes and were immediately booted out by the pigs. We then skated to a castle shannon school with massivley long flat rails for a long session. The video from those will be up soon. peace.

Cheech got his new vinny mintons fresh from salomon for the comp he won at woodward this summer...

October 15- the October edit of the month is up and running! check the video page. It was short because cheech is busy with addiction, and the computer he's editing on needs to be returned to another school. He is done with 4 of the 7 sections.

In other news here is the pic of the new razors Murda pro model; i was able to save it before it was taken down off another site...

A decent K.O. session went down this saturday- the only problem was we skated approxamatley 58 miles from spot to spot to find ghetto run-ups and nipple high rails. some of the highlights were COMPTON's roll (the true "rolla" of kkc- ha) at the police station, a nice drop of roll that will be in edit of the month october- i gotta eat dinner now so check back in 1 hour for the rest of the details... ok im back- then we headed to these nipple height silver rails by seaton la salle ( who cares i cant spell it) and cheech hit an ILL sweatstance backroyale. i souled a sideways kink which is hard to explain- but we didnt film it. from there we went to check out seaton. we found an ill like 35 stair triple kink- a 30 stair non kink, and a non kink 16 stair ( everything besides the big kink was slicker than balls) above the sixteen stair was a 35 foot handicap that dropped a foot and then went for 15 more feet then down the 16 stair. cheech soul drop souled this! ( in eodm october youll see compton run up to grab the rail- this is cause the handicap was ghetto broken and wobbled like hell haha dormont style) i also hit a fs royale on the 16 stair.

Peter has officially hit the eleven stair double set at jeffreson and needs only frontside of youth to be in...

SEPTEMBER EDIT IS UP in the video section

some very sweeet tricks went down today at the famous 15 stair rail at jeffreson. cheech busted a top porn first try and then a flawless topsoul after a couple attempts. Clarey got juiced off of him and threw down a top porn ( less than a week after he first souled it). we thought that was all but minutes later he threw down a sweet topsoul... his first on a handrail. that got me juiced and i hit cab soul. i started going for backslide and got about three quarters of the way before it was time to leave. cheech hit front farfignugen out of nowhere and then started going for torques. he also made it about 3/4 of the way but we had to leave. all these tricks were busted within a half hour, and i didnt even mention the tricks on jeff bench ( ahem soul truspin soyale and soul 360 to soul... haha) in other words it was a perfect session and i dont even wanna think about whats gonna go down this friday... youll have to wait until eodm october for this stuff

This sunday we hit up an ILL session in oakland and you can look forward to seeing these clips in edit o' da month october (even though it was in september...) the tricks that went down at the hillman rails were soul to top porn by the infamous lankymclank, soul alley oop soul by choch, compton hit his first soul on a true handrail and 180ed out clean... the big ledge at hillman was where the real stuff went down. i walked over to the session late and the first thing i saw was cheech hit a CLEAN true miz to fakie. for the camera he went back and hit it again and added in a shifty/abstract out. he also busted out a nice backroyale. my first trick was soyale (im pretty sure lefty is my regular foot for soyales now, but ive never done one on a handrail...) after that i hit backslide kindgrind, backslide budget alley oop porn, and then my final trick which i had wanted to hit forever was backslide the whole thing. we met four kids there who rolled and were pretty decent... one trew out a sit down torqure rever and an other kid hit a very clean back nugen... there other friend busted out a very wiggy looking fs unity and also a front royale. the session was over after that cause we had to be home by six... but on the way home we discovered the most perfect kinks of all time, which should also be in eodm october as well.

in random notes... ap history blows, "they" need to invent a new smaterchild, and never look into a cup filled with salt and then blow.

The september edit of the month is up and running, and with footage captured by colin, its an "equal-opp" clip... some good stuff though.

-Injuries-

Matt compton is out with a concussion and should be back in fruitboots in a week. Jimmy Plake has broken his foot, and is out 4-6 weeks... check the september edit to see what he does with one boot.

This in from cheech- ADDICTION is in the editors and the introduction will be finished by friday. I have yet to decide whether or not i will post the intro on the site as a trailer... in any case, its ill!

Edit of the month is gonna be done by me this month because cheech is very busy with addiction. Its gonna be short and semi-sweet because i accidentally taped over like 2/3rds of the stuff! IN TRICK NEWS peter hit his first rail with a makio at the heinz six set and clarey hit his first kink with a soul on the last of the infamous hundred kinks.

Site updated 9/16/02. Cheech added WRECKED. check it out in the video page.

check out the COMEDY section- we have to new things up...

Cheech did 5 of a hundred kinks this weekend downtown and we're going back again on a mission to land it. also, some black guy gave me a dollar for hitting 6 of a hundred kinks. in chinease news, we couldnt session greens because of this chai pow wannabee karate stuff going on. so we're heading back there today again. as you can tell we are in a news shortage.... more coming soon....

look forward for the S2S edit coming up soon. in the trick news- i finally went out and kindgrinded the 15 and hit rail to rail transfer at lincoln. cheech hit a tiiiiiiiiight backroyale at the fat silvers and also a sweet topsoul. Clardawg is hitting 180 roof tomorow to clean up his record for the kkc initiation gaps- his straight air was slightly "porned" lol if you know what i mean.

The summer epic is up and running, and it was done all by me. I stayed up til 4 in the morning working on this one and you'll die when you see it. On the Compton side of things he finally got back skating with us and hit a cleeeean soul back nugen on yellow. i would put the clip up but I dont know how! also, im going to be talking to cheech about changing the s2s edit format to an edit of the month, that way we dont have to work every week and plus we can get more tricks in.

On the gap side of things ALEX CLAREY has 180ed the infamous steep mellon 10 stair perfectly clean. it will definately be on edit of the month. in other other COMPTON news... wile pissing on a dead pidgeon he pissed on the camera lens. yes the beloved fisheye...

Rumor has it colin has been sneaking down to make an "epic edit" with some of this summers best tricks... look for it soon

Site updated! new clardawg mini-mini view- check out the video page.

On friday colin topsouled the 25 stair rich rails, claiming best trick of the day, Cheech as usual claimed best fall by bending over backwards and messing up his back and shoulder. plake hit the rails as well. Video will be posted soon. Plake owes cheech two bucks.

In addition to the S2S friday footage there will be random sessions in with the edit of the month so we arent missing out on the good ol' COMPTON steez. (Matt is presently involved with jv and varsity soccer so he has practices or games pretty much all the time... mad gaaaaaaaaaaay.) hopefully he will be back ripping for his profile coming out in the post-addiction video.

In other news cheech and alex have challenged each other in a battle for the 21, the 21 stair rail at jefferson. (There is a picture of it in the pics section) the first person to hit it will be awarded a 10 dollar gift certificate from the loser to scoops. So look forward for some sweet footage of this crazy rail comming soon-(this rail is on the right, meaning cheech will be hitting it switch or topside) thats all for now but the updates will keep coming...
