Krista was just one of those people who got you stoked. She showed me you can do adult things and still keep it real. I really missed Krista when she left Burton to take care of herself and her family and there was no one to drive us to the skatepark or say "we're leaving to skate, wanna come?"
Please donate generously to breast cancer research, there are lots out there.
Rest in Powder Krista!

I think some of these guy are going to be working a little harder this time around, money is money, gotta get paid anyway you can in this tough economic times.
But who fuckin knows who's going to win with injuries and subs (which are happening already). I would love to see a Cole vs Kennedy and Dennis vs Marks semi final, that would be crazy. You also can't count out the youngins maybe a Girl final, Kennedy vs Mike Mo. I am second guessing my choices already...

Big Box Bullshit

2010-05-10T09:19:00.000-07:00

Another reason why going to big box stores suck. Right on the front of West49 a Go Skateboarding sign with the main photo being a surfer and surf boards, WTF! No wonder they are the on going joke of skateboarders.
This is a perfect example of why skaters/skate shops were pissed the Berrics was selling to West49 IN Canada and then going on about support core shops in the US.
Support you local skate shop...West49 IS NOT A LOCAL SHOP NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE!

Habitat was established in 1999 and released in Spring 2000, the same year as Alien Workshop’s landmark video “Photosynthesis.” Habitat’s segment in “Photosynthesis” was the brands first video project featuring the entire team and setting the stage for “Mosaic” & “Inhabitants.” Our upcoming video, “Origin,” is a visual retrospective of the past decade, showcasing the best of this 10 year period along with new full length video parts from Silas Baxter-Neal, Austyn Gillette, Guru Khalsa, Steve Durante, Daryl Angel and Marius Syvanen with a substantial amount of footage from the rest of the Habitat team. “Origin” is slated to premiere September 15, 2010.

Hot for Teachers w/ Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green from Megan Fox

Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
Parents from the Wonderland Avenue Elementary School PTA in Los Angeles enlisted the help of actors Megan Fox, Brian Austin Green, and Geoff Stults for a video aimed at blocking the nearly $2.5 billion in proposed education cuts from the California state budget, which is due for a vote at the end of April. Good for the parents realizing that you need to stoop to the lowest level to get your message out in America...celebrity.

Rumors have been circulating for a minute now but it looks like Appleyard is jumping off the Flip ship and is planting his roots at Element. No one is confirming anything yet at Element but it should be confirmed soon, I would think once he gets off tour in Asia with the Flip team. Now it time for Rowley to find a new home...

Hip hop has lost another great solider. Guru showed you could be hard as fuck and still get down with Donald Byrd and the like. His falling out with Primo and the breakup of Gangstarr (and the other stuff with Solar) is greatly over shadowed by his contribution not only to hip hop but music and culture in general. Play a Guru/Gangstarr track today in memory for a legend.
GANGSTARR FOREVER.

The Get By

If you are not down with How To Make It In America you should be. In this week's episode it will include a short film about skateboarding and the city of New York. A movie about real shit to promote a show about fake stuff...
Some of the people in the mini movie are, Billy Rohan, Jake Johnston, Gino,Pappalardo, Zered Basset, Todd Jordan, skinny Fred Gall and I am sure many more. Should be dope seeing all these awesome east coast skaters in one place.
The Maloof family are throwing a contest in NY this June, check out the contest setup. The Maloof's will donate the setup after the comp to the city. Pretty sick. I checked out the contest last summer in Cali, it was insane for three days straight.

Where Did All The Team Riders Go???

2010-02-19T03:53:00.001-08:00

More team cuts at Burton?!? Not really, even though Shaun, Peetu, Kelly and Hannah's (and many more names) names are missing off the team pages on the Burton site it is just due to more Olympic bullshit.
Here is why 41 team pages are currently missing some of their best team riders.

Olympic Charter Rule 41 - Eligibility Code
To be eligible for participation in the Olympic Games, a competitor, coach, trainer or other team official must comply with the Olympic Charter as well as with the rules of the IF concerned as approved by the IOC, and the competitor, coach, trainer or other team official must be entered by his NOC. The above-noted persons must notably:
– respect the spirit of fair play and non violence, and behave accordingly; and
– respect and comply in all aspects with the World Anti-Doping Code.

Bye-law to Rule 41
1. Each IF establishes its sport’s own eligibility criteria in accordance with the Olympic Charter. Such criteria must be submitted to the IOC Executive Board for approval.
2. The application of the eligibility criteria lies with the IFs, their affiliated national federations and the NOCs in the fields of their respective responsibilities.
3.Except as permitted by the IOC Executive Board, no competitor, coach, trainer or official who participates in the Olympic Games may allow his person, name, picture or sports performances to be used for advertising purposes during the Olympic Games.
4. The entry or participation of a competitor in the Olympic Games shall not be conditional on any financial consideration.

Even Jesus couldn't throw down enough money to make it onto Kelly's board.

And you thought advertising at the Superbowl was big money!

And in other Olympic bullshit

Are we going to see Louis Vito in a thong next?!? Actually, we might.

Along with some other Supra team riders, Tom Penny recently rolled the streets of Quebec City. Here are more pics from the trip. I wish I could have witnessed some of that trip, so close yet so far...

Thanks Michael

Michael Jackson
August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009

I will always remember the day I got Thriller. My grandparents bought it for me, I don't remember why but it was sunny that day and I had the new Michael Jackson tape. I vividly remember unwrapping the tape from the plastic and placing the tape in the boom box and pressing play and the first sounds of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" kicked in, as my mom, sisters and grandparents watch and listened along. It was just one of those moments that just shapes you (I think the next moment was when I saw a Guns and Roses video for the first time.)
That was almost 30 years ago...and I still get stoked.
It doesn't matter what you are doing, classic Michael Jackson songs make things better.
Thanks Michael, for all the memories and the great times ahead.

Maloof Money Cup Street Course Unveiled

2009-06-24T06:18:00.000-07:00

Here is the first renderings of the street course for the Maloof Money Cup going on July 10-12th in SoCal. The course was put together by Geoff Rowley and Joe Ciaglia with a lil help from some friends, Colby Carter, Mark Waters and pro skaters Lance Mountain, Braydon Szafranski and Erik Ellington. Inspired by actually skate organic skate spots this years course will feature; LA’s Sunset up-down corner ledge, the Barcelona ledge and the Big Fours and 12-stair from Rincon in San Diego. On top of those sick features, there is the spitting image of Pier 7 and San Francisco’s “3 Up -3 Down”, as well as UC Irvine’s 6-stair hubba and rails.
There is also a bump-to-picnic table feature which was picked by TWS Mag from a ton of submitted entries from it followers, Chris C. of Manalapan, New Jersey submitted the winning feature.
Its going to be a crazy weekend of skating and we will be there to cover it all!

Happy Go Skateboarding Day.
