R.I.P. Popwar

Popwar was always one of my favorite companies. Although their reincarnation through HYPE is now up, i just dont feel that they bring the same vibe that the old Popwar had. I remember Popwar came out with a few "Video Hype" teasers that were really awesome. It's unfortunate that a full length never hit the shelves. Anyways, their second "Video Hype" continues to be one of my favorite videos ever, so go check it out HERE.

Vox is definatley one of my favorite companys nowadays. See, they recently screwed up on a buncha shoes because they were supposed to have white stitching instead they got black stitching. Instead of throwing them away, they're selling them for way cheap to help out skateboarders in these current T.E.T.'s (Tough Economic Times) So click this Link to peep the deal!

Street Dreams=Gay Porn (pretty much)

So i came across the movie poster for Rob Dyrdek and Paul Rodriguez's new film entitled "Street Dreams". I personally feel as though this movie is gonna be a pitiful replay of "Grind" (Anybody remember that piece of shit). What makes it worse than "Grind" however, is the fact that this movie is actually being produced by REAL professional skateboarders. But the thing that pisses me off the most is what it says in the corner of the poster: "There are 10 million street skaters in the U.S. alone... This is their story." They can go ahead and make their gay movie, but please leave the real skateboarders out of it, its not fair to us.

p.s. If anyone does decide to go see this movie, please buy a ticket for a different movie and then go into this one, that way they don't get any money for this piece of shit film.

This is fucking radical. Watch it to Death!!

Check this new video from the Deluxe site

Well, me and some of friends decided to take advantage of this MLK day and have a little trip to some parks in the valley.

Here's Dave, all ready to shred Goodyear in the early hours of the morning.

Austin doing some wierd shit out the window.

When we arrived at our destination in Goodyear, we were bummed to see that the park didn't open until noon, and it was 8:45.

Here's Brandon, looking rather downtrodden after reading the sign.

So we decided to move on to one of the newer parks in the valley called X-Court.

X-Court is definately X-treme!!!!

This park is pretty awesome. Everything is pretty much huge... Its Burley!

We pulled up to the park a few minutes before it was scheduled to open and everyone was pretty psyched to start skating.

Especially Mr. Oman, who had just come off a recent injury: Massive Griptape Thumb

Here's the bloodstains that were on his griptape. He's a gnarly guy.

We waited around for the park ranger to show up and unlock the gate, but he never did so we called up the parks and rec center, only to find out that the park would not be open for MLK day. Now that's definately not what Dr. King would've wanted!!! So we decided to DGAF it and hop the fence. We got a good session in before the cops caught on to us and we took off to hit up Peoria's Rio Vista park.

Brandon got into a stalking escapade with a middle aged woman at a McDonalds before getting to the skatepark. LOLZ!

Had a good time there and then left for the East Valley to end the day at the infamous, private indoor skatepark; Desert Dingos.

It was a pretty swell trip, unfortunatley my camera turned to shit halfway through, which meant minimal coverage, haha, bummer.

There may be a video posted up later from the footage we got today..
