This is a reminder from your friends at Midwest Represent that Spring has sprung (for the most part) and you should be out riding your skateboards…photos of Rafael Aleev taken by Feruki last summer in Chicago.  Keep an eye on this kid, there are plenty more bangers coming soon.

Uprise knows how to do it right.  Warehouse skate sessions keeps the flow alive all winter…

This title is fitting for a Halloween post on Midwest Represent.

Friend and family of MWR, Joaquin (Frank) Verges, is hosting a photo gallery at Rodan in Wicker Park.  Stop by Sunday, November 8th to see a collection boasting some of his best work.  Whether you know him or not, I suggest you stop by. Chances are you’ll see a Chicago homey or two…

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

Could this be a sneak peak at a Bianchi X AG collaboration?  No, not really…just some official sticker placement by homeboy Joaquin Verges out of Chi Town.  Thanks for the sticker placement, Papito, hit up Mo for your royalty payment!

Chicago’s finest, Uprise Skateshop, recently released a new series of shop decks.  Designed by Frank “Papito” Verges, these things look hot.  Stop by the shop or visit their online store to pick yours up today.
