The Day After Tomorrow

Still backing Backslash hard. It's pretty ingenious. The Westgate commentary is prerfectly on point.

Cute Overload!, aka Davis at The Berrics.

Boil the Ocean shows guarded optimism about skateboarding's ability to accept weirdos and outsiders, while highlighting one of the raddest stories of recent memeory.

If you haven't gotten on the FB yet to "like" the video posted below, please get your act together and do it.

I made fun of the fools that were wearing beanies when it was 105 out, now I'm so cold in my apartment that I'm wearing a beanie. The joke's on me.

#FAMILIABOYS

Three video related posts in a row! The above video is swassup, and after you view it, click right here and "like" the video. The dudes in it stand to win a bunch of money and a trip to Barcy if they win, so pass it forward, you know?

On a related note, I've still never seen CJ's ender or Jack's rail dance in real-time, it would be sick to put those out in non-slo-mo.

Excessive Throwaway Warning

Spring throwaway starring your favorite dudes from your favorite filmer!

David Fink put together a shoe review video with Cal Surf's new team rider. The dialog is killer!

It's been way too hot to skate but tomorrow is looking like a good day to shoot a day in the life of...
Stay tuned!

5 Year Hangover

Blast from the past (familia 1st Anniversary 2006)

"Brush Yo Teeth"

I finally got this on the interwebs. Thanks to Al for coming through with the DVD. It also coincides nicely with Sam McGuire's birthday. Featured above you can see Sam skating at a time when he regularly owned a skateboard. That switch ollie body varial to frontboard (the Lotti) is still HOT FIRE! to this day. Happy birthday man.

Speaking of hot fire, scorchin' ass days such as these remind me of the summer of 2001 when dudes were shooting the Transworld Minneapolis article that appeared later on, like spring 2002. It was this hot for a week. The mag had Bastien on the cover doing a kickflip backtail at Hollywood High. If anyone has a hard copy of that mag (I lost mine to basement flooding some years ago), or better yet, scans, use your ingenuity to get a hold of me. Any help is much appreciated.

This is pretty amazing. And yes, that previous link is real.

RUBICON

Look at that fuckers! That's jerman Kahn (bold?) and jerboi Rubio (TRUST) just chilling the fuck out before they signed a contract to bring Ricky Rubio to the Minnesota Timberwolves for 2011-2012. Irrational exuberance aside, this is the best NBA news since whenever. Go Mavs.

Briefly...

When will The Berrics realize that it's fully worthwhile for them to allow embedding? We'll still watch the adds, promise. Anyhow, maybe you spent the whole weekend with these guys like I did. Kenny Anderson and Nesser go as far "off the grid" as you can while still in LA County. Dudes look good on the board.

Shaq retired. While trying to think of something witty to add, all I could wonder is if he was able to drink as many beers as Andre The Giant. By the way, if you Google Andre, the suggested search is "Andre The Giant drinking."
