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.

Clearly, Chicago winters don’t feel as long when you know these guys…

Coming to a city near you.  Fortunately two of those cities are in our territory.  Familia (MPLS) and Uprise (CHI) are getting some love.  Come hang out with Arto and the rest of the Gravis Skate team.

to your favorite skateshop.  The new Arto LX shoe by Gravis.

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…
