Caught rollin around in Portland, Oregon aka PDX. Photos courtesy of xXxBrianxXx on Flickr.com. I remember rockin this particular freight the night before I went on vacation to Maui, Hawaii in 2004! 4 years after it’s caught rolling around Portland. Crazyshit. Check out the sign off “Maui Waui” and the red 25. I was trying to keep records of how many freights I was smashing that year and that was the 25th one at that time. I eventually lost count after going passed the triple digits. Choo Choo!

The homey Travis from flickr was nice enough to email us a photo of a hot collaboration train between RICKS & GUER that has surfaced all the way out in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Thank god for flickr cause we never got around to taking a good photo of this. Make sure to also check out more graf photos in his photostream.

If you’ve been watching skate videos since the early 2000’s then you might remember 411VM.com and PUZZLE. Puzzle was the European version of 411 and had some of the craziest footage from upcoming European skaters. They are now producing FREE bi-monthly issues of their video magazine available for download on their website. You just need to register with a valid email address. I just downloaded all 4 of the issues and some additional movies that are available under the FREEVIDEOS section. All I can say is, “FUCK, I quit!” Kids are too good these days. Go check out the insane footage that these Europeans are busting out. Double Frontside Flip to Boardslide down rails and Caballerial Double Flips! What about Double Bigspins? Hmmmm….

We are proud to announce our 2 new designs that are dropping (hopefully) in the end of August for our Skate All Cities streetwear line.

This past weekend we had the opportunity to stop by The Home Depot Center in Carson, CA to check out the X-Games. Thanks to my boy Brandon over at Artsteez.com for hooking up the tickets! This was my first time attending so I didn’t know what to expect. All I can say is that it was EXXXXTREEEEMMMMEE! Hahaha, nah just playing. But seriously if you’re into having lots of tattoos, wearing DC’s, cap backwards with sunglasses, sportin Ed Hardy gear and all then this is the spot for you! Bro City son! Don’t they have a saying for the OC aka Bro-C? Just fucken with ya’ll. I got nothing but love for everyone. Sarcasm is key. With all the shit talking aside I still had a good time watchin the BMXers and Moto-Xers rockin the course as well as Bob Burnquist doing huge Switch Frontside 180 Indy Grabs on the vert ramp. Geezus! See ya’ll there next time!

Ummmm, excuse me girlies. Can I take a picture with you for my blog? Photography: ArtSteez

After chillin in the crazy heat for over 2-3 hours we were kinda over it. So we decided to beat traffic and go home early and just chill out. (I think I’m getting a little too old for this shit to be honest.) X-Games “BRO”VERLOAD. While being held up in traffic we benched some flicks of graffiti that were on the freeways.

The Paint Selection

On the way home we decided to get something to eat down the block and saw this wall that some of the homeys from The Seventh Letter rocked. Some of the writer’s mentioned below (ROID & JIROE) are from Europe and also have their own graffiti blog (Maintained by the boss AROE) called Heavy Artillery. Lots of good European graffiti on there. ROID is becoming one of my favorite European writers right now.

My boy Masaki just recently sent me a YouTube video through Myspace of a skater by the name of Manolo Robles. First off, I don’t even know this cat but from the looks of his skate video he needs to get on a major team! The footy is abso”fucken”lutely ridiculous! Girl or Chocolate, sponsor this guy already or else WE WILL! (Hahaha, just kidding. We’re not backed up with major ends like that…….YET.) But from the looks of his video he could be based out of Barcelona, Spain. I’m not going to spoil any of the tricks that he’s busting but let me list off just 1 for you. Frontside Kickflip 5-0 Grind to Treflip out! WTF….
