BALLZ OUT , LYON FRANCE REPRESENT!!!!!

Yeah I remember back in the day skating with my friends blah blah blah. We used to watch skate videos every night and I remember every trick that blah blah blah did. Face it, having a skateboard because it was the cool thing didn't mean you skate. Every friday I'm gonna post a new skate part that I grew up watching. Here's one that still gets me hyped to push around-

I received an email from Mike today, well.. here.

"Let's make it official... Alec Jamir has been with us since day one. For paying his dues over the last couple years, we've blessed him with a cyber existence in the Skate section of Orisue.com.

Tim Thomas has been down with us for a whole two months... But in this short span of time, he won the Black Box Open House Contest, took second in Automatic's Battle Of The Shops (Double Set) at ASR, and logged enough HD footy for the sweet commercial you will notice below. Check his profile on Orisue.com as well. We've just started over here though... Enjoy the show.

PS: Travis can you post this/embed the video on our site. Theres a block over here where I can't access Orisue's back end (no homo)."

So there you have it.

Well let's see here... Tim Thomas got 2nd in the double set section of Battle Of The Shops, Daniel almost got murked by like 5 different people (myself included), Derek Wilson handed me a sweet disc of new footage, and everyone else drank/smoked/failed/successed. Awesome...

Hardest shirt of the show...

Lugga this guy... That's a big shirt. Click it.

When you've got 10 people who've never spent more than 5 minutes at a time with eachother sharing one van, one hotel room and one spliff every hour, someone is bound to lose their mind and/or kill someone else along the ride. Fortunately and surprisingly, this didn't happen on the recent trip our skate team took up the coast to San Francisco. As a matter of fact, it couldn't have been any further from the truth.

Yes, Daniel did get knocked the fuck out, but it wasn't anyone on the van. That was just some random dude at a Fresno house party... And it was pretty sweet. Other highlights include Alec Jamir getting choke slammed, Larelle Gray not liking anything but new-age gangster rap music, Derek Wilson freestyling at random and often in-appropriate times, Migs trying to fight a chick, Pedro lacing the 10 of us with one cabin room at Woodward, learning Tim Thomas doesn't drink and is now the permanent DD, me locking everyone out of the hotel room at 4AM, Zach getting everyone back in, Macmen pwning Fresno, and Yassine's mere existence.

Oh yeah, the skating was fantastic as well. In just 3 days, we managed to come out with 10 hours worth of footy to dig through... Which leads me to my point. Catch our mini tour video at Magic next week. Also, check the SKATE SECTION cause I'll be posting it up in sections starting next Friday. I gots to get the fuck up outta here though cause I haven't even started this shit yet and Magic begins this Monday. Come party with us in Vegas you fucks. And did you see that chick on the cover of our LOOKBOOK? I know, I love her too... Sigh. Pzzz.
