Underskatement In The Chronicle
The San Francisco Chronicle has posted this story on Underskatement Vol. 4, happening this weekend in SF. They speak to festival co-founder Andreas Trolf and Dan Wolfe about his entry in the festival.
Our favorite ‘what the hell?’ line in the piece: “Tommy Guerrero, who with the footage of his days as a Bones Brigade and Powell Peralta skateboarder in the ’80s, has become like the Al Pacino or Robert De Niro of skateboarding films.” Huh?

New Hires and Replacements
Far from Freedumb and not getting any younger, Dan Drehobl has been told to clean up his act and is now buttoned up to join Kenny Anderson and Anthony Poppalardo with signature collections over at Elwood clothing. Breaking the vicious cycle and recollecting himself in Las Vegas, it has been said that Anthony “Ragdoll” Scalamere has re-emerged to earn another chance with a spot on Crimson skateboards’ roster. Although not publicly announced on its new site, I Path’s originator Matt Field and his cohort Bigfoot have both been let go from the environmentally sustainable footwear and apparel brand.

Hawk vs. Layla, Steel Cage Marketing Match
What’s that? You’ve always wondered what questions a female WWE wrestler would ask Tony Hawk? Well, you’re in luck. It’s hard to believe she asked about his video game and Six Flags ride and not filming Animal Chin or what it was like to skate against Duane Peters as a kid. Oh wait, no it isn’t.
