Radish Express: February 2010
http://radishexpress.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Not rad but "radish". Thursday, February 18, 2010. I had some thoughts last night, but forget what they were. Let me recount, instead a skateboard excursion I made about two weeks ago now, when the air was cold but the pavement of downtown Hamilton was dry and clear. I had just put together my new Mark Gonzalez. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Radish Express: It Only Hurts When I Walk
http://radishexpress.blogspot.com/2011/06/it-only-hurts-when-i-walk.html
Not rad but "radish". Monday, June 13, 2011. It Only Hurts When I Walk. But I'm worried that the erosion to my joints has occurred in such a way that the even, back and forth motion of roller skates would be too much for my body to handle. I'd probably take off the left skate and start pushing myself around on one skate, just to feel better. And then what would I do with the extra left skate? It would be a complete waste.

Radish Express: September 2009
http://radishexpress.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Not rad but "radish". Sunday, September 20, 2009. Cop Shop Jam and Beasley Session. It was an establishing of hierarchies or dominance that was interesting to watch, with Jill feeling a greater need to demonstrate her power position in relation to the bikers than Matt. I asked Drew about the Copshop Jam, and he said that they seemed to have it under wraps, so he didn't feel the need to attend. He didn't seem resentful, just happy to let them "do their thing".

Radish Express: The House Fly Effect
http://radishexpress.blogspot.com/2010/11/house-fly-effect.html
Not rad but "radish". Monday, November 8, 2010. The House Fly Effect. Well, tomorrow I'm off to Brantford to deliver a guest-lecture about skateboarding at a course on Youth Culture. I've got slides and video clips and photos of the Bease renovation. Then the whole class will walk to Branford's downtown skate plaza to make some field observations, and the instructor and anyone else who is so inclined might even roll around a little, after we've signed a waiver of course.

Radish Express: August 2010
http://radishexpress.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Not rad but "radish". Monday, August 30, 2010. End -O- Summer Skate Report. I've been so busy with home renovations, reading for school, swimming, gallivanting around, and, of course, skateboarding, that I haven't had time to update the blog in a while, but I have the sore knees and sprained wrist to prove that the last few weeks have been full of radical-ish thrashing activity (well, it's all relative, isn't it? I missed the last day of the Beasley Park Skatebaord Jam, which got rained out three weeks a...

Radish Express: The 5th Annual Beasley BBQ
http://radishexpress.blogspot.com/2011/06/magic-of-beasley-park.html
Not rad but "radish". Saturday, June 25, 2011. The 5th Annual Beasley BBQ. The Hamilton Skateboard Assembly had a table which kids could bring their boards to and have their bearings cleaned, their grip tape topped up, or they could even trade in a set of worn down old wheels or trucks for one of the sets of the used but still ridable equipment that Oldschool and Popeye had rounded up. There was also a brand new deck, courtesy of Flatspot. Skateboarders are more used to being kicked off streets and prope...

Radish Express: July 2009
http://radishexpress.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Not rad but "radish". Monday, July 6, 2009. My conscience stopped me short: I cause the same amount of pedestrian terror each time I weave through downtown traffic on my board. And sometimes I even take a slight mischievous pleasure in it. When I finally made it to the park, it was about ten. The skater from Trinidad? Wednesday, July 1, 2009. At that time, my friends and I were probably the most advanced skaters in our town, but even then, our moves had a decidedly old school feel. I was just learnin...

Radish Express: July 2010
http://radishexpress.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Not rad but "radish". Monday, July 19, 2010. Thursday, July 15, 2010. A couple weeks ago, I went in search of the secret skate spot that my neighbour's kid had told me about. Not too far from my house is what looks to be an abandoned school. The concrete playground/parking lot behind the school is covered in cracks and weeds, and from the fence I could see that some makeshift obstacles had been constructed on a raised portion of the yard. M landed some perfect frontside halfcab flips. S. had brou...I tri...
