Gary Collins----Inspired by.

As a skateboarder thats been skating for over twenty years i've been inspired by hundreds of skaters, artists, musicians, average joes, etc. Theres no pre requisite for inspiration, it could be anything really. As far as skateboarders and skateboard tricks, one person that stands out from over the years, is Alan Peterson. Some of you prob arent familiar with him, (alot prob are) There was just something about the way he skated. In particular, the way he backside ollied. I was blessed with the privilege of traveling across the county a couple times in a smelly tour van with Alan and was equally blown away each time we skated. I remember seeing him bs stalefish and pretty much dedicated the next few sessions to learning them. Even though i havent seen alan in ten or so years, everytime i skate a backyard ramp i think of the way he did it, and how sick it was. It just looked different than everyone else. Thanks Alan, this ones for you homie. (Alan photo by hutch, Gary photo by Abineri)

SKATING NAKED..............

The Instrument crew went up to the Come Together event at Skate-Naked saturday night. The event was a huge success. there were prob about 3 or 4 hundred heads there. Long story short heres an edit of the night (featuring Cole Wilson, Zac Coyne, Cody Heil, Gary Collins and homie Brooks Shuping) by Matt Ballard. also posted here is an edit from Taylor Nawrocki...

BLOCKPARTY AFTERMATH so far

Ok, so my photographer for the event was a no show somehow so i got a couple blackberry pics.. First the event was a huge blowout. there were prob around 500 heads throughout the day rolling threw. There were too many highlights to mention, but the biggest highlight i thought was the cops rolling up and trying to shut it down. Once they found out we had the proper permits, they had to bounce and the party raged on. the kegs were tapped early but everyone pitched in and there was plenty of drinks to go around. Thanks to everyone who came. For real, Everyone! Thanks to High School from Galaxie, Nick and Macko from Anonymous, Adam and Toby from Koncrete City, Joe from Blacklist, and Ali and Ryan from Able projects for all the help getting this rolling. Thanks to cricket and Devs mom for the help running the grill and beer booth. Thanks to DirtyC and Floyd for keepin the beats blasting all day.......we're gonna make a habit of this for sure. Big ups for the short video Andy Licardi put together...i'll post that real soon for those who missed it or forgot about it....Side note, grammers got double booked that night so our djs didnt get to rock. whatever i guess. Also Mayor Mark Mallory was at the after party.
Kyle Hummer went the distance and knocked out Cole Wilson for the Game of skate title and the duckets. Extra good look and breaking off second place a little something. Kyle killed it for sure. Not sure what all went down on the Galaxie obstacle, i did see ED and Devin fly over the whole thing.. that was insane. i heard jap did too. If you have photos or video please send me some of it to info@skateinstrument.com and heres a little edit doug made throughout the day..Macko from anoymous filmed the game of skate so there will be another video soon.

20/20 Club. Gary Collins

Untitled from Tyler Macko on Vimeo.

So basically in honor of skating for 20 years, i came up with this idea to do 20 wall rides in one day. I prob could have done 30 or 40, but twenty sounded better. Tyler Macko filmed this last sunday. We got this done before noon. Anyway as a side note the first person to correctly submit the location of all 20 wallrides will get a free deck of their choice. lets see who really has a loc card. send guesses to info@skateinstrument.com or bring them straight to anonymous and the winner will be able to pick the board up at Anonymous Skateshop. this video will also be on their site Anonymouskateshop.comSend in those guesses. First come first serve........
