Over at Skateboarder magazine’s site, Bacon skateboards has just posted a lengthy video from the team’s Southern Slaughter Tour from this past summer. Have a look at the mayhem and perhaps you’ll get inspired to get your bowl shred on.
Posted by bkOn the heels of their latest video release, “Cataclysmic Abyss” Foundation skateboards has officially welcomed Abdias Rivera to its team. Check out the press release here.
The new video premieres in Berkeley, CA next week on February 8th.
Posted by bkPaul Schmitt is using skateboarding as a teaching tool in his new program, Create A Skate. His recently launched website contains all the information you need to get Professor Schmitt to your school.
“The whole curriculum focuses on math, science and engineering and artistry of making a skateboard.”
Schmitt recently returned to his old high school with the program and is looking to reach 5 million kids in 5 years. That’s a lot of boards…
Posted by ChrisThe hard working crew over at Listen skateboards has been hitting the streets worldwide to wrap up their first full-length video, “Viajeros Locos”. You can check the trailer right here.
Posted by bkA hearing is scheduled for San Francisco’s long awaited Potrero Del Sol Skatepark tomorrow, Thursday, February 1st. It takes place at 2pm in City Hall, Room 416
On the agenda is a presentation and discussion of the award of construction contract of the skatepark. Does this mean that SF will have a proper skatepark by the Spring of 2008?
SGV has been doing a good job of keeping the new content coming. Go over there and check out a solid Atiba Jefferson interview as well as some song recommendations by Kevin Wilkins and loads of photos.
One question though…what do we do with the logo brick?
Posted by ChrisWe love the artwork of Todd Bratrud. I mean, who doesn’t? Just look at these board graphics…some of the best ever.
Sam McQuire over at The Skateboard Mag blogs has posted an I.M interview with Todd that asks the some tough questions and throws up a ton of great links. Go read it.
Blitz Distribution has recently launched an insightful site, “A World Without Pros.com” that touches upon the fight against the escalating sales of blank skateboards. Andrew Reynolds, Geoff Rowley, and Tony Hawk are featured amongst many other top professionals that support this effort.
The choice is yours whether you decide to put your purchase towards professional skateboarding. We stand behind skaters that support skate brands, big and small.

Posted by bkHere’s some news for your Monday morning. Jack Sabback now rolls with Traffic skateboards and a soon to be released signature deck as well. Brian “Slash” Hansen has linked up with Black Label as his new board sponsor. The Stereo Sound Agency has birthed a new wheel company as Hi Fi with signature wheels with Danny Supa, Daniel Shimizu and Chris Roberts.
Posted by bkASR delivered another hyped up tradeshow where red carpeted isles mixed legit skate and surf brands, with fashion-centric hipsters, and the ever present and ill-fated merchants of useless junk. To liven up the scene, Matix and the Spotlight crew threw together a fun and first-ever “three trick combo” skate event now known as Lord of the Lines. Read on for a recap of what went down.
Results
1. Ronnie Creager - $10,000
2. Joey Brezinski - $3,000
3. Dennis Busenitz - $1,000
Yeah, it doesn’t really fall into the realm of skateboarding (or does it?)…but we were a bit surprised to see a story devoted to Bam Margera’s upcoming wedding and TV show in the New York Times.
“There is also the hope that the wedding might break the network’s unlucky streak of celebrity couples — Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra, Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler — whose marriages unraveled soon after they appeared in MTV reality shows.”
We’re taking bets on how many months it will last…who’s got the single digits?
