Jandy is BACK....

So first of all, I would like to say thanks to Jandy for letting us skate his garage ramp!! I met Jandy at PLUS (www.pluskateboarding.com) and he told me about his ramp while he painted an great piece of art on a door and a few days later me and Matty D got out to his house and got to skate it. The ramp is PERFECT and we got to learn a whole bunch of new tricks and had a lot of fun! Here is a video of some of the mini ramp stuff (we really didnt film too much just cuz the session was bangin and no one wants to hold a camera when they could be skating a perfect ramp) as well as some more stuff from capitol skate park. A lot of people probably don't like Redfords skate park that much but it is the home turf of caveman and silly and thats generally where we can be found either warming up or just chillin all day! Anyways, here are a few clips, nothing too crazy just some silly tricks that we get hyped on!

TRICK TIP'ATHON


Starting once a week, myself or whoever will be choosing a trick for the week. The participant will be someone we or the community feels like has the best knowledge or experience of such trick.

The first trick will be post'd weather permitting within the next day or so.

I would first like to apologize for slacking on the video updates. We put a little more effort into this video as a form of our gratitude for all of those that check the site daily (we are finding more and more people are actually looking at the site!).

That being said, please enjoy our newest video update! The beginning starts off a little strong and seems a bit non-relevant, but there is alot of good skating mixed in you just have to try to take the video for what it is.... FUN!!!

So....

We are just now getting back into a normal daily skateboard routine. With Silly being sick and my being busy with art, work, school and most importantly girlfriend, we haven't been able to skate as much, but the weather has been decent and our schedules are working out well together! We ARE getting some pretty cool stuff on tape (or at least its cool to us!) and most importantly we have been having fun, so hopefully in the next day or two we will have a new photo or video up for all of you people that we hope are looking at the site daily!!

SORRY ABOUT SLACKING!!

"You honestly look like a popsicle."

Thats what I was told I looked like by the co-president of this site in reference to my shoes matching my hoodie strings. That has absolutely nothing to do with anything, I just needed to give this post a random title. 

There hasn't been a lot of  skateboarding related posts lately due to Silly's illness and my personal duties to other aspects of my life. I have however been allowing myself to outlet creativity in a new way, aside from skateboarding. If any of you have ever seen me on a skateboard most likely I had some kind of stenciled art on my grip tape. Well if you have been checking the Plus site as we had recommended earlier this month, (www.pluskateboarding.com) you would know that there is an art show coming up at Plus! And yours truly has been working on a few pieces for said show! Here is a preview of one of them:

spraying layer one

moments before spraying layer one: section 2

completed layer one!!
There are 2 more layers and colors to this piece but as of right now you are only going to see those if you come to the art show at plus, from 9pm to midnight on the 28th of march!
I would also like to say that almost every still photo posted on this website is thanks to this girl

SILLYS ROAD TO RECOVERY



after an interesting weekend, master silly has maintained one day without going over 100f!

i just took my temp and it was 98.2 which is amazing for me, considering i run 97.9 typically.

iam going to be getting my tonsils and adenoids out probably within a month or two but for now im gonna be tryin to stay as healthy as i can.

i get siik like every other week and im tired of it.

i was the recipient of a baby lab puppy named fish! my "girl thats a friend" brittany just got it today, its cute, trust me.

i plan to be on the board tomarrow, just cruisn, prolly gonna head to capitol and film a getting better montage, nothing special. just trying to see how my butt looks on camera really.

oh and MSU beat USC, i was proud. i was watching the game with my dad and boobs, and when msu missed a free throw i screamed PISS! at the top of my lungs. Immediately boobs raised both legs in shock and fear which if u saw was probably more funny then when he tries to climb up a chair, and my dad wasnt pleasantly happy either.

well in the land of updates, thats pretty much it.

oh ya my cars totalled too, so you wont be seeing the "purps" at cappy.. well you will but it defnitely wont be my car lol



goodnight homeslice

Its not sketchy! Its east coast!!



fun day at birmingham/royal oak from caveman on Vimeo.

I must give credit to Carell for that quote. It has been in my head all day and I like it! Who cares about how clean you land every trick all the time everytime you skate... right? I mean sure I could just be saying that because i suck at skateboarding and never land anything really clean but at the same time i think every once in a while a toe hanging off or a hand touching the ground or a little tick tack out of something is refreshing. Everything in mainstream skateboarding can look a bit robotic at times and its nice to see videos where people look a bit unsteady or sketchy... I mean east coast! 

Anyways, heres the update for today. I have been trying really hard to keep things fresh everytime you look at the site, and I'm not sure how long it will last, at least the video updates, due to lack of spots and or lack of tapes, but for now... ENJOY!

"Oh he's racist"

That's what Matty D said when we got to 7/11 and saw a young bloke with a shaved head. It was funny and I told him that quote was the title of the next post on here! Haha (As a disclaimer, I would like to say neither me or Matty D are racist nor do we find it funny, it was the way he said it that was funny.)

I'm super hyped today for two reasons! Reason one is I got to work at Plus and help them remodel! If you didn't know, Plus is expanding and it's looking amazing! The store will be even BETTER, if that's possible! They got pictures on the site of the progress, but it's even better to just stop in and look at it while you buy stuff!
www.pluskateboarding.com

The second reason is because I have been skating more the last few days and I keep meeting people I don't even know that are looking at the site! I really didn't think anyone would pay attention or enjoy all the random clip, pictures, and thoughtless words me or Silly type! So thanks for telling us we're doing good! Makes us want to start doing more on here when we learn!



video update from caveman on Vimeo.

Here are a few tricks of me and some friends.
Silly would have some stuff but he has been sick as you saw (and I know you loved those pictures!)
and I would have more tricks but I'm still dealing with that hipper I keep whining about
(I fell on it at West Bloomfield and witnesses can tell you it was nice and swollen. As well as fluid filled again so, its looking like a never ending cycle.)

Silly is MIA w/ strep

so not that sk8ing till 4am for a couple days had anything to do with this, but i think my body runs off 2 hours of sleep on average. i know some of you guys are prolly like well i can jump rope till 7 am, or i put a penny in at the dinosaur ride at meijers, but not me. my body is as weak as this kid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMNry4PE93Y

im gonna post two pics, one of my disgusting bodily discharge from my sinus cavity and of the current fever iam running




also getting a 2x shot of 500mg rocephin in my right buttcheek hurt more than when my mom showed me this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC--VwYTHAM

in any event silly has bad strep throat

you know im not feeling well when i watch judge alex or judge judy all day followed by sitting out side with a glass of water sitting on a lawn chair in the middle of my driveway just trying to soak up as much sun as i can.

goshhh this suks

oh and if your wondering if the validity of my temp is really 104.4 well it isnt, lol i just wanted a high temp. That was for kris gotleb, you can have up to 105f temp you know!





laterrr

Due to my never ending hip bruise...

I have been slacking on the skating and updates. I have been taking a break from skating simply because I couldn't hardly walk haha! I got a chance to hang out with the girlfriend all last week and just relax which is a HUGE change of pace for me but now I am starting to slowly come back and hopefully as long as the weather is nice we can update the site almost daily! I threw together a few clips from the last few nights just to give any who actually checks this site something to watch!
 ENJOI!

ive been feeling like alex mizurov lately..

for someone reason i have this thing with reverting. like its almost an addiction to me to see the squeaky topsy turvy rubber or polyurethane wheels go slipping and sliding across pavement or planked wood. the only problem when you revert for so long is flat spots and ur inability to pop tricks normally in warranted circumstances like stairs or gaps.

but in essence, i like a good rewinded biggerspin shuv late flipp north south ollie hump




good day

So if anyone is wondering...

Why I haven't been skating the last few days, well, here you go!

I hope everyone enjoyed the first video update haha.
My purple, blue, green and yellow hip is the product of skating that warehouse!
I am in no way complaining, it's more of a proclamation of the love and dedication for skateboarding that me, silly, and skateboarders worldwide share!
Skateboarding Rules!!
(Skateboarding Rules is the title of the plus skateshop video available at Plus. If you haven't been in there yet get there soon! It's seriously the best store ever!)

As you can see

Skateboarding is fun, not fashion!
It shouldn't matter what brand shoes you are wearing, how tight your pants are (or aren't), or
what style hat you have on! If clothing selection bothers you that much then you are going to hate us! As you can see, Silly doesn't really care what he is wearing. He cares that his clothes are comfortable and make him feel good while he rides his skateboard!


There is no point to posting this picture aside from me and Silly showing off that we are friends with the one and only MATTY D! This kid is always killing it so if you see him at the skatepark keep an eye on him. He will blow your mind! And most likely beat you in skate!
-Caveman

Support your local shop!!


Have you ever just been sitting around with your friends, bored out of your mind, asking each other "What should we do today?" 
I can tell you what you should do! Go to Plus skateboard shop, buy a board, come skate with me and Silly and have fun! 
Don't know where Plus is? Don't know if they got what you are looking for? Don't know if Plus is legit? First of all look at the photo above! Those dudes in that picture are ALL super cool, chill skaters that love skateboarding just as much as me and Silly do! 
Still not sure? Go to www.pluskateboarding.com
STILL need directions or info about Plus? Contact me (Caveman aka Randy) 
Plus for life!
Need I say more?

OHH YEAAA!!!!

This is our first video update.
It's just 3 days worth of filming, no pressure to blow anyones mind, 
no fancy editing, no perfect song choice, no professional quality filming,
just Caveman, Silly, and some friends doing what we do best...
Having FUN!
-Caveman


silly and cavemans first video update from caveman on Vimeo.

HELLO!!!

 Welcome to Silly and Caveman's Website!
We started this site in an effort to showcase not only the individual aspects of skateboarding in the Detroit area but also to display to the world that skateboarding is fun.

That's it...

FUN!



Enjoy!



I want skateboarding to be an unofficial statement to the world; thoughts and dreams set into motion where two main goals (a: Our individual reflection of what this lifestyle means to us and b: The positive effects we can have on others on and off the board) blend into our day to day lives.
x3/1 (one love)
-Silly



I got my first skateboard on my eleventh birthday.
As I sit here typing this, now twenty years old, I can say without a doubt skateboarding has never lost that excitement I got 9 years ago unwrapping my first toys R us board!
If anything it has only gotten better...
I hope through this blog you, the reader, can get a deeper understanding of what I'm talking about. If you are a skateboarder and you are reading this, I'm going to show you what I like to do with my skateboard.
If you are not a skateboarder, then I hope that you will be able to see why we are always thinking about riding around on a plank of wood bolted to some wheels with a simple turning system.
I hope you enjoy our feeble attempt at showing the general public the fun that can be had on a skateboard.
And please if you see me and Silly at the park or on the streets or just driving around, say what's up and we can play some skate or make up a new trick or just roll back and forth in a parking lot on two wheels.
Thank you.
