Our good buddies down the street at Installation Shoe Gallery threw a big art bash/fundraiser this last friday. All the proceeds went to benefit Jeremiah Brooks, a fellow skateboarder who was in a super bad car accident.
“A tumble down a ten-stair rail, or a flail into the flat of an empty pool - these were the types of situations most likely to put Jeremiah “Jam” Brooks in the hospital. But that’s not what laid the thirty-year-old Boulder skateboarder low. No, if Brooks could have foreseen the event that would nearly kill him, maybe he wouldn’t have agreed to the fall road trip to New Mexico. He wouldn’t have jumped out of the van near Larkspur to piss along a dark stretch of I-25. Certainly, he would’ve been on the lookout for the Jeep heading south at 65 mph. Because then he could have avoided being in the air, in intensive care, in a wheelchair, in surgery and insured for nothing.” - Jared Jacang Maher
A slew of local artists came out with custom grip tape, Vans high-tops and hats. Our little posse received 12 pieces of grip tape and one hat. We thoroughly fumigated the Engine with spray paint on Friday and finished just in time. The other pieces are from the likes of Todd Bratrvo, Dennis McNett, Matt “Putrio” Carr, Hoshi Ludwig, Dave Soderberg, Shange Rymer, Alvin A. Gregario, Vincent Comaretto, Brian Ball, Chris “PeeWee” Levy, Nick Motte, Louis M. Schmiett, The Yummies and a few big hitters, Jeremy FIsh and Lance Mountain. All the shoes are up on ebay for bidding - again, all the money goes to help out Jeremiah. The party was a blast and the art was rad. If you’re in Boulder and didn’t make it to the opening, get your ass down there.
