If you are from Chicago and down with Uprise, you are probably skilled on a skateboard.

Rafael Aleev is no exception…expect good things from this kid in the future!

The Vans Bus Tour will be kicking off a Midwest bus tour at Oakdale Skatepark on Wednesday, May 20th from 3-6pm.  Looks like it will be a sausage party with the BBQ and all those heavy dudes in attendance.  I don’t know about you, but they had me at Tony Trujillo.  Stop by Cal Surf for more info and check the flyer for details on the other stops – looks like Cream City is next, then on to Chi town to pay the Uprise boys a visit…

Spring has pretty much sprung in Chicago.  Why not celebrate by getting awesome with Uprise and friends on Sunday April, 5th at Burnham Skatepark (31st and Lakeshore) from 10am-5pm.  Scope the flyer for details…
