It’s been a relatively slow start to the week. Weather today got absolutely incredible towards the later part of the afternoon, so I took the camera out and did some sight-seeing. It was nice to start off the week slowly…the rest of the week is just going to get more and more hectic. Tomorrow I’ll be married to the post office, Wednesday we’re paying Vince at VS a visit, and the rest of the week we’re doing final preparations for Soundset. Anyways, here’s a few shots from the day to hopefully brighten your day. Cheers!

It’s nice outside…go climb a tree!!

Madison – Chapter I is officially over…and now it’s back to Minneapolis for the summer. I went to a few shops around town today, shot the breeze and got the low on how Minneapolis has been the past few weeks (apparently very similar to how Madison has been). Cal Surf was first up to bat. I stocked them with some additional sizes of some Spring tees, so stop in if you’re in the area!

It’s like a candy shop for skaters…

After Cal Surf I enjoyed the nice weather and walked around the area. The weather in Minnesota is too nice right now not to be outside at least two hours a day. That’s why I’m working on my vertical. That’s right. Outdoor slam dunking. Get it.

After lake-hopping I rolled through downtown Minneapolis and headed to the other side of town to pay a quick visit to the guys at Mindstate Distribution.

Last weekend the U.S. Collegiate National Cycling Championships were held in Madison, WI. We went down to the capital building area to check out the crit action. Always exciting to see dudes gunning around at 30 mph, normally get to see a few crashes. Photos courtesy of our friend Steve.

Saturday, May 1st, marked the annual Mifflin Block Party celebration in Madison, Wisconsin. For those who don’t know, every year the weekend before finals, to mark the end of the school year, a rager of a block party is thrown on Mifflin Street. Everyone who lives on Mifflin buys kegs, opens their house to thousands of partiers, and good times are had all around.

Even cops tend to be pretty relaxed on Mifflin. Although they do give out a few hundred tickets every year.

This year over 10,000 people flooded the couple blocks that is Mifflin.

Those white balconies would also be packed with people had the cops not ushered people off moments prior. Even though it’s a pretty relaxed, party atmosphere, they definitely ‘keep everyone safe’.

Hey, I recognize that shirt.

We are proud to announce that Karmaloop will now be carrying Check Your Six products. As the largest online streetwear retailer, I doubt Karmaloop needs any introduction. We are super stoked to have them on board and this makes it easier for you CY6 fans who don’t have a local retailer to cop gear. Be sure to check it out Here.
