Roster Hops

After months of speculation and rumor, PJ Ladd has officially found a new home with the DC team. Brian “Slash” Hansen has left Black Label for the newly forming team at Deathwish skateboards. He’s also been added to the squad over at Fallen. Look for his standout skills in their forthcoming debut video “Ride the Sky” later this year. At the Blind skateboards camp, Brazilian wonderkid Danny Cerezini has been bumped up into the professional ranks. Milwaukee’s very own Greg Lutzka will be giving Shecks a run for his money at this year’s Dew Tour on Ricta. Speaking of Dew Tour dudes, PLG has just linked up with RDS apparel for his skate threads. Despite the lack of a press release, it appears that Lee Smith no longer reps Santa Cruz skateboards.
