after I got home from a gnar day and night of shreadding and doing a gnar chill, I checked my e-mail, and to my surprise this very inspiring message was in it from our new friend from Wisconsin, Danny Cuff. I'll let the message do the rest of the talking.
What's up Chris/Gonzo? Just got done ordering NEAT off your site and saw that you said people can email you if they want. I figured I'd tell you that I'm really blown away by vegas skating, moreso than most big name skate teams. I got back into skateboarding about three months ago when I turned 18, so naturally I've just been soaking up all the internet has to offer on it. Somehow I found the "Pop Shuvit Late Flip" video, and just like a first time meth user, I felt the need for more.
Seriously, I've never seen such a young, talented, and hilarious team, and that coupled with the fact that you're so professional about it (your camera work is fucking legit) made me a follower. You're the only Youtube subscription I actually follow, but you make it worthwhile. It's kind of funny that I'm more familiar with a group of young skaters halfway across the country from me (Wisconsin) than I am with most pros.
Well, I'm probably sounding mad faggy right now, but I just felt the need to let you know that vegasskating has inspired me to keep skating and work even harder to get better. Right now I'm finally getting my kickflips looking nice and consistent, and I can for the most part do pop shuvits, varial flips, 180s, just the basics. After watching your shit though, I decided I'm not stopping until I can do shit around the level you guys can. It may take awhile, even a couple years, but when I get good enough I plan on visiting you guys in Vegas and hopefully getting to skate a sesh with Vegasskating.
Keep cranking out the videos, man. I hope "THAT" project is revealed soon enough. And just remember, someday if a dashingly handsome motherfucker named Danny shows up and Bunker and is like, "Remember me?", chances are it's me, and you'll be like,"Whoa."
Then we'll go skate.
Hope Vegasskating had a Merry Christmas, catch you later.

R.I.P Cheyenne gap
Well its safe to say that most local skaters in vegas know what cheyenne gap is, and if u dont u should, me and Adrian Mccoy went up there the other day to shred it up and couldnt believe our eyes when we saw that they had put the rails back up. definitely a bummz on the schools part, but oh well, all good things must come to an end, or do they, hahaha enjoy the montage,
