Little Devil went and got baptized and now he’s back in the form of Large Angel. Look for a complete line of clothing for Spring 2010…!!! We’re now accepting sponsorship applications from right wing Christian riders only. JK, saw this on the Least Most forum and it made me laugh. I actually kind of want one though.
Soon the death star will be fully operational. www.pennskate.com
Some big ramp news for Eastern PA:
1. We now have some new ramps at the Orchid HQ thanks to our friends Carmine and Keith, who had to get rid of them. Here’s a photo of Ryan Yazzie airing the current makeshift set up. These ramps will go out back with the trails (aka Beringer style) in the Spring. Dave King volunteered some Bobcat time so it’s on for 2010. If all goes to plan we’re going to try and cement a couple of things too. Until then come by and shred the driveway.
2. The best bowl on the East Coast, the infamous Little Devil bowl will be fully operational by next month!!! The thing is 99% finished now, and should be done really soon. We’re planning a private session for early December. Hit me up if you were a regular at the old warehouse and I’ll try to get you in. The new location is Penn Skate in Allentown, PA. When it’s officially up and running I’ll post it here.
Here’s some photos of the recent progress:
And what the hell, here’s an old vid to get you hyped to ride this rollercoaster:
Chris from Penn Skate in Allentown, PA dropped me a line to say that the decks are being installed on the Little Devil Bowl, which he’s in the process of refurbishing. Once the decks are done, the flatbottoms are next, then the thing is ready to shred once again. When that day comes we are going to party.
This is awesome but probably not what you thought it was going to be.
This is the world’s greatest collector of Little Devil memorabilia, Okuhara Tomoaki from Japan. He’s been collecting LD since the mid 90’s and his collection is incredible (it even surpasses mine and I own the damn company). Check it out on littledevilbrand.com (direct link here). Thanks for all the support over the years Tomo!!!
Here’s a few random pics from the LD funeral thanks to Aaron Buckley.
Scott Galt was filming at the funeral and put a video together. The trains at the end are rad. Little Devil vs. Rage Against The Machine.
Thank god John Paul Rogers was taking photos at the funeral, because I think Aaron Buckley got sidetracked by riding all day. That’s okay because I got sidetracked by the guitar-hero jam and apparently forgot to do the actual burial service. Oh well, the coffin built by Carmine Gentile was way too nice to bury anyway. We partied and that’s all that matters. Check out these photos courtesy of FBM:

Please take a couple minutes to read this Little Devil obituary over on Dig. Brian Tunney put it together and it’s really well written. The funeral went down on Saturday and it was a great time. Thanks to everyone for coming out to celebrate. We’ll try to get some photos online soon.
