Chicago meets Minneapolis during 2010 Top Shop Weekend…

Midwest Representer’ Casey Anderson recently underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL/MCL in his left knee.  We wish him a speedy and pain-free recovery!  If anyone wants to send him a get well note or love note or anything else, send it my way at (bob AT midwestrepresent DOT com) and I will make sure to forward it on!  In the meantime here is a cool video of the Case for your viewing pleasure!

Casey Anderson just sent over some of his footy from various parks (and basements) throughout the Twin-Cities.

Casey rolled down to Chicago with me the other week.  Pretty quick, but fun (and productive) trip. Photos taken by Frank Verges.

Casey Anderson and I met up with the Savvy crew early last Saturday at Oakdale to loosen up the legs before the Third Lair Top Shop event.  Always a pleasure to see the two generations of Savageau’s ripping! After stopping by Third to see some rad skating go down we headed to the streets of MPLS for a final session with Dom and Tom (Rohrer) show…good times for sure.  Enjoy the video.

No, its not the kind of pizza party you went to in 2nd grade…this is the real deal premiere of a skate flick by Twin-Cities skate rat Dana Ross.  His name may not ring a bell but trust me, you’ve seen this kid around…he bleeds skateboarding and is an all around great dude!

Midwest Representers Casey Anderson and Dom Randazzo will have some tricks in it and rumor has it this is his best skate vid to date.  So go check it out because all things homegrown, including skate videos, rule!

I went skating today with Casey and Dom.  It was hype, those kids were killing it.  

Dom said i was pluggin it, maybe i’m just too old because i didn’t know what that meant.  He said it was slang for good.  And now you know this, too…

Maybe we’ll skate tomorrow too and i’ll remember to bring my camera this time.

Good Night.

Casey’s been keepin his skate game tight this winter!
