SOUP'S 33 YEARS YOUNG!! Saturday, August 1st 2009

For all who doesn't know Soup he's the guy who comes all the way out from San Diego to St. Louis, wrecking shop in the Hermann's Hole Valley about 6 times a year.. He has contributed massively to the skateboarding community in San Diego, St. Louis, Hawaii, Cachagua, Maryland, Atlanta, and everywhere else he's been in the world... Originally from O'Fallon, Mo, He has been rolling around the globe killing everything in sight for the past 10 years at least.

Soup may just happen to be here in St. Louis this year for just a few days around his 33rd birthday, and he has decided to spend an evening at the Missouri jungle bowl.




Hermann's Hole Bowl skate & create August, 1st!!






DON'T BLOW IT!! This is not some crazy party!! Come with good vibes, and a kid friendly attitude... We're all just old men having fun on our wooden toys. No glass bottles, and certinaly no guns!! And as always take your trash with you when you leave.





This may be the last chance to ride Hermann's Hole for the summer... It's gonna be getting hot around these parts, and Hermann is going out of town for the month of August.





Soup's still shredding tools, schools, pools, and fools at age 33 years.

Deck the walls.. a cool summer nights work/sesh.

we skated and created last weekend during the pleasantly surprising Missouri summer weather. 50F at night and 70F in the day with almost no humidity!!! It was paradise compared to the previous work/skate sesh. Here are some images captured from this time zone.

Hermann's Greatest Hits

A random pile of pics from the past year in the valley of the Hole bowl.






















Back in the day I skated to work... Now I work to skate.




What have you done for skateboarding lately?

Piano Keys

In between rain storms Soup went out to the Hole and mortar dropped red brick coping blocks on the new corner pocket... They still need to be grouted, and a deck poured behind before we can safely skate it. Don't wanna break those keys off too soon. Looks good!!
