The FREEDOM art show debuted at MAGIC back around the middle of February and was such a huge success it is now being brought to life in Los Angeles this Saturday at KNOWN GALLERY. It’s worth your time to go check out if you’re in the LA area because the line of artists are pretty amazing.

The Skate All Cities camp is proud to announce our latest board collaboration with none other than toy & graphic designer/skateboarder David Flores. This board collaboration has been long overdue for quite some time now. I remember hitting David up around October 09 to get some shit crackin’ for this. Four months later after going through a different board manufacturer and a number of complications we finally have the finished product…voi”dafuck”la. Our boards have been newly reconstructed with a thicker concave and harder wood for thicker pop. So if you liked our past boards then you’re going to like the feel on these ones. We are no longer making the 7.625 x 31.25’s anymore since the majority of riders are skating larger boards. They are currently available in 4 different colorways and 3 different sizes through our Online Shop.
Skate All Cities x David Flores x SIMPSONS
Skate All Cities x David Flores x SIMPSONS (Baby Blue) – 7.75 x 31.375
Skate All Cities x David Flores x SIMPSONS (Purple) – 8 x 32
Skate All Cities x David Flores x SIMPSONS (Orange) – 8.25 x 32.25
For anyone who’s curious, here’s a more in-depth description of what the graphic represents and why we chose to go this route. Ever since I’ve seen the David Flores x SIMPSONS x VANS drop in 2007′ish, I was thinking to myself, “That shit would look tight on a board!” Since David hit us up years ago (before we even had any kind of inventory and/or products made), I figured that it was only natural to put 1 and 1 together to create this collaboration board. Bart Simpson is pretty much the epitomy of what Skate All Cities is all about, except we are the real life versions. A youthful troublemaker that skateboards and vandalizes the city. Need I say more? SIMPSONS fanatics are going to shit all over this one.
Lamont
Alot of you already know that the board has a SIMPSONIZED version of David Flores flailing on his board while trying to go up a mini ramp (Just like in real life! Haha, jk.) on a freshly painted SAC tag from Bart, but did you know that the dog on there is also a SIMPSONIZED version of his real life dog, Lamont?
“DOH’P!”
The multiple colorway below was suppose to be given out to only friends and family for our release party that never came through. So instead of having these sit in the warehouse aka garage, we decided to sell them online. There’s only 50 of these made and are available only in 8 x 32, so don’t bother asking for other sizes. We now accept food stamps, credit cards, cash, crack, herb and sexual favors from your mom. Thank you for your time and “Stay Grindin”

Daylight Savings Time is coming soon…finally. Two more weeks to be exact, but who’s counting? This means more time to skate after 5pm cause it’s going to get dark at 8pm! Looks like you’re going to be seeing more skateboarding & graffiti photos of us in the near future as the year progresses cause “Summer’s Arounda Corner“. I think that a Summer European skate/paint trip is due. Portugal 2010?

We stopped by the TRADITION shop in Westlake Village this past weekend to show our support for Los Angeles based graffiti artists RUETS & ASYLM’s show entitled “Sources of Inspiration & Damnation“. The turn out was amazing with people coming from up and down the California coast. There were even a few heads (or 1 really) that came all the down from San Diego to check it out. That’s a long 4 hour drive, but I’m sure that the “FREE BEER” that was being offered at the end of the road made it just that much sweeter.

If other shops want to know how to gain a good working relationship with their clientele through marketing, then you should be taking notes on what TRADITION is doing. Not only do they carry some of the most popular and upcoming brands in the industry, but they also throw FREE SHOWS…consistently. I repeat, “FREE SHOWS…consistently”. Now how many of your local shops that you support does that? I’m sure that there a few out there, but I can bet that there’s not too many. Especially since everyone’s being tight with their finances and trying to save through “The Recession”. Just check out the last party that TRADITION had with RAEKWON from Wu-Tang.

This past Friday The Grove Theatre in Upland, CA was host to COVERT’s newest skateboarding video entitled, “Still Broke“. If you were one of the lucky people to get a hold of the SOLD OUT tickets then you should be as happy as Charlie from the Chocolate Factory. Raffles and Giveaways were present, as well as drunken antics throughout the course of the night that kept you entertained for hours. All in all a fun night for everyone who attended. The video should be available through DVD in the next couple of months. Thanks to Doug Des Autels for taking the photos.

Skate All Cities team member and ELEMENT Pro Brent Atchley recently released a commercial for Satori Wheels. The 1:49 minute segment showcases Tucker’s (the filmer) artistic rendition of Brent cruising through the streets of his hometown Portland, OR. Peep the SAC slaptag BGP’s (BackGround Props) in the beginning of the video…
