fashion crisis

since when did skateboarding become so concerned with fashion.

i find it slightly annoying that skaters today are easily distracted, especially younger skaters, with the "don't do it" campaign. this was probably way more relevant 15 or 20 years ago? before they even started skating, but because Consolidated still sends out outdated stickers to events, it seems like it just won't go away.

so if you wanna seem legit and "down", hop on the "support your local shop" campaign or skatepark advocacy, or DIY... movements and campaigns that will actually benefit you and your community. these issues are definitely more relevant today and much more needed than the "don't do it" campaign.

nike supports some of the best "core" skateboarders out there, so while you fight the swoosh, you're fighting your idols.

oh and nike outlasts any vans shoe i have ever worn. don't do it or do it, it doesn't really matter anymore, but seriously DO SOMETHING. when nike starts making skateboard, then maybe you should be worried.

TEAM NIKE SB

some history as to why Nike has remained relevant:

how nike got into skateboarding - it was actually the skaters that brought them in.

The high-top sneaker provided a snug fit, a padded ankle support, a cushioned sole, and a reinforced ollie pad, making it not only comfortable but also the most superior “skate sneaker” of its time.

In Powell Peralta’s 1987 video, The Search for Animal Chin, pros Mike McGill, Steve Caballero, and Lance Mountain can be seen wearing Air Jordans which was highly unusual considering they all lead their respective shoe sponsors. But the mid-eighties were rather bleak times for the skate industry. Vans was the only shoe company who maintained a team but was still unable to provide shoes to its pros in sufficient quantities. The team then received help from Craig R. Stecyk, the art director at Powell-Peralta, who had a go-to-guy at Nike. The eventual success of Animal Chin and the Bones Brigade’s already legendary status only contributed to the Air Jordan’s growing popularity.

twizzard power on panther mountain

yeah baker!!! you haven't changed a bit!! file under #homey4life

sarcastic yankees

it was voted unanimously on panther mountain that this is one of the best zines out there. very little text, nothing but pics mostly and all are of roadtripping. the foreword says it all but you're going to have to find it to read it because i can't remember. basically it says "get the fuck out of your town and experience the world". pools, parks, sick spots and radness by xeno miller and friends. check it!

2 Zines, 1 great weekend!!

So stoked to be riding with my good friends from SAUCE and Shark Bait!! Trying to get a lil' exposure for some dedicated locals, and promote awareness of a certain DIY spot, while staying under the radar!!! Cuz' as we all know from previous DIY projects, you don't want to bring the wrong attention towards all the hard work you've put into it. Cuz' all it takes is one idiot to bring it all down.


Keep it underground, and keep it real

thanks wrex :)

souped up and ripped out!

an extreme series of thunderstorms pounded lafayette county and surrounding areas throughout the night tuesday. the residents' attention hung closely to radio and television reports where available on the status of the incoming threats. double rounds of twister producing thunderstorms ripped through north central mississippi on wednesday. many did not sleep well the nights between these intense days of extreme warnings and sirens of cyclones.

durtboarding!

i love picture perfect days where the sky is blue and the clouds are fluffy.


yesterday was fun, beautiful weather, awesome family easter cookout n egg colorin, then wrex broke out the dirtboard and a hilarious session at the park by our house ensued!


wrex had some pretty hilarious bails but here he manages to make it out alive!

all in all all survived with minor scrapes and a hole in the hand. until next time!

Happy Easter To the Dons....

Well, we didn't get to go to the SPB convention in San Francisco this weeekend. Every year the Dons meet in SF to give highest of fives, and exchange art and stories frome the previous year, and enjoy the presence of true brothers in arms. But me and Don Kent spent some quality time in their honor, slashing and slaying in the name of SPB! Keepin' the blood runnin' and the pink flyin'!!! Hard to believe it's been 20 years....

chicks that rip

i love seeing photos of girls that rip. fuck "chicks" that sit at the park, talk shit, hump the air and cop squats more than they skate ---go away (this goes for dudes too)!!



this is gloria!! haven't met her nor have i skated this bowl but it's FDR which means fuckin' damn right, this is gnarly!! more lately than usual i've been seeing coverage of ripping ladies. saw a few in the latest lowcard and pink crack is always down to give those worthy some coverage. which is where i lifted this shot.

go on, git some pink crack

Keeping Shit Real!!!

So hyped to be riding with some great friends this weekend!! Two zines with one goal, and that goal is killin' some Southern concrete!! Hopefully we'll get some "core" exposure for the Trife project while staying under the radar. Cuz' as we all know, too much hype brings too much unwarranted eyes, and that means the death of most DIY projects. With the help from some true skaters, hopefully we can keep this a secret, while bringing in funds for a well needed spot.

Keep it underground!!!

Silly Pink Weekend

Well, we didn't get to go to SF for the annual Silly Pink Bunnies Convention, but we took our good friend to see some Dons in The Rock.. Seems like everytime we go there, an epic adventure is almost guaranteed. This trip was no exception..
