Spring 2023 odds and ends.

PS: IG is making it look like this is my audio and it’s not. It’s @ thechalkeaters

Last year, following @zorra_skates, I did 33 tricks for my 33rd birthday. This year I challenged myself to film 34 NEW tricks. I don’t think it would have been possible without learning so many new tricks for #hbgos22, and from all my skate friends. Especially: stalls from @greenwheelypop, slides/grinds from @psychonautskates and @kid_ace, and handplants from @tweed_killls. And ty to my skate fam @3riversreform.

These were filmed in a single manic 2-hour session at @switchandsignalskatepark with help from @shelbitch_skates.

Oh ya, and the new loadout from @wickedskatewear_pgh: @bont_parkstars + @suregriprollerskates + @huckskatesupply + @cibcrew + @wildbonesofficial.

My much belated 2022 highlight reel. It was definitely the best year of my life so far. Much love to @milaflops, @the.jesse.webster.perspective, @psychonautskates, the @3riversreform crew, @switchandsignalskatepark, and everyone else who made it so special.
P.S. I’m gonna be at the @crete_creepers women&trans bowl bash on Feb 19. If you’re anywhere near Jamestown, NY you should come check it out.

Saturday night @intimacyloungepgh was transformed into an Electronica lover's dream by @kindling.pgh

In addition to the amazing music, the lighting was next level! There was also soup, coffee, tea, and a cozy fire outside. It was the perfect combination of dance party and sleepover vibes

Can't wait for the next one ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

HEARTH 2/28 welcomes Heather Harper, Cecropia, and Emmy Zero to the fire pit.

Heather Harper (@ca11.11una) is a singer, violinist, DJ, and sound artist. Her DJ sets fill dancefloors with atmosphere like smoke. Subsonic frequencies penetrate cells. Bodies move in mitochondrial pulse to bass music, dubstep, and trap.

Heather has played at Pittsburgh's most vibrant underground and experimental music events, including Misophonia, Sweet Escape, PS, Sweet Abyss, Dropout, and the Fire Lights festival, at venues including Collision, Club Pittsburgh, the Government Center, the 40th St Bridge, and HAVEN. She is a violinist in the grindcore project SHAME HOLE, and a DJ and visual artist in the duo Reverse Cowgirl.

Cecropia (@everyone_i_fuck_is_gay) is the experimental synth sound project of Luna Peaks, a multi-instrumentalist, community organizer, synth sorceress, and poet who has fallen deeply in love with her community and the people who share it.

Cecropia sets are a gift to the space, prepared for the show where they are played and rarely repeated.

Exploring themes of sex, fear, cathartic healing, and ecstatic dance, Cecropia holds the audience through a journey into temporary, intimate, and raw worlds birthed from the deepest vulnerable corners of her shadow, carrying her audience through with a commitment to love.

Expect to feel uncomfortable.
Expect to be cared for.
Expect to dance.

Emmy Zero (@pathological.zero) is not actually a DJ, she’s just transgender. Primarily a skate rat, she also designs lights and video projections, and dabbles in glitch art.

It's been a cold winter. On Saturday, Feb 28, thaw the frost at HEARTH. Featuring balearic beats, live-performed techno, and steamy bass, KINDLING and Troy Hill's Intimacy Lounge (@intimacyloungepgh ) will melt you to the core.

KINDLING is a collective of musicians, artists, and technicians setting Pittsburgh's underground ablaze. DJ/musicians Luna Peaks, A Pup Named Rosy, and Heather Harper join visual artists Emmy Zero and Otherground to build a haven in the pyre. Legendary sound engineer Alex Icon keeps the coals glowing all night long.

First day on blades since 2003.

Halloween

I love skating with @mountpom bc we always end up pushing each other to learn to tricks and look at the park in new ways.

The @tristatequadcomp skill share went great and vibes at women & trans night at @switchandsignalskatepark were immaculate as always.

Can’t wait to see yinz for the @tristatequadcomp on November 2.

Blessed (almost) all- quads women & trans session at @switchandsignalskatepark with
@centtapillah @rollinbritt @selfloveonskates @holliejeaux @cowpunker @wilkzbelle.

(Re-upload bc i once again forgot to turn the footage volume back up after adding music idk why ig does that)

Happy 13th anniversary to this clip from Pier 62 in NYC from Summer 2011. I didn’t even know it existed but a few months ago I got in touch with @irenesk8s and she dug it up.

The quad park skating scene was so small back then. Anyone else you met was instantly a buddy.

I started skating with @concussionrollerderby in Winter 2010 and started heading out to parks with @skeighty_8_legs and some of the @emeraldcityrd skaters. That summer I moved back east. Caught this session in NYC, dropped in on a @gothamderby practice, and then headed off to CMU.

I hung up my skates when I learned Pittsburgh only had a WFTDA league 🙃. I visited Boyce once with a mystery friend that @irenesk8s sent my way, and that was it. 2014 I had jaw surgery, went to grad school, and didn’t touch my skates for another seven years.

The rest of the story is on this page. Glad I found my way back. 🖤🛼

P.S. In an incredibly classy move, @irenesk8s quietly removed my deadname from the original post after I confirmed it was me.

Throwback to my first (and only) time on inlines since 2002.
