Es Spring 2010 footwear… Why am I writing about this? →  January 19, 2010 106

Es put out it’s spring 2010 catalog today. You can check it out here. I say this while wearing a pair of Es shoes on my feet. But where is the creativity? All I see are all the same shoes I’ve seen before. Boring

P-rod thanks God, thanks his skateboard →  January 19, 2010 139

Transworld put up P-Rod’s part from In Bloom with a commentary overlaid by P-Rod. Not only is the part STILL awesome, but the commentary is actually adds some interesting elements to the video.

New Supra Shoes Don’t Make me Throw Up… →  January 18, 2010 119

Supra Footwear is releasing a truckload of shoes this spring that are surprisingly normal. And I like them! Supra has released some butt-nasty shoes in the past. Witness exhibit A. Damn, did nobody tell them they should never mix gold with silver? The new shoes are completely wearable for a suburb dwelling white boy such [...]

Naysayer Promo, Inexplicably Awesome →  January 17, 2010 94

NYC’s Naysayer is up to no good. They’re making me laugh at inappropriate things, like dogs biting vaginas, no joke. We did an interview with Naysayer a couple of months back. They released a promo… the first song alone is worth a listen. Viewer discretion advised…. seriously. Naysayer Skateboards – In An Asian Accent (A [...]

3 ridiculous skateboard sponsorships →  January 7, 2010 102

Every kid skater wants to be sponsored some day. Me? I’m over that dream. I’m too old, and too sucky. Besides, if your goal is to be sponsored, I think it takes a lot of the fun out of the game. Most of this is old news, but I have noticed that skaters are getting [...]

Grandma blames Tony Hawk over death of Grandson →  January 4, 2010 113

I thought I’d try to make this funny, but I’m pretty sure that would be wrong. Alejandro Morales, 25, murdered a 9 year old boy as they were playing Tony Hawk RIDE. Man, Tony just can’t catch a break. His game sucks so bad that it murders children. The grandmother has been quoted as saying, [...]

Santa is a Ripper →  December 24, 2009 163

Merry Christmas! Santa rips and he wears a helmet… apparently. I like the fact that the kids boo him when he tells them to wear helmets though. Check out the video below. Hope everybody has a great holiday and shows love to their neighbors, friends and family.

Filmer? Skateboarder? Buy a RED Cam →  December 21, 2009 115

RED Cam is the best camera money can buy, therefore, if you film skateboard movies, you should buy it. Here is a small selection of movies that have been shot with it: The camera prices start from a measly $17,500.00 Not bad for a hollywood quality camera. In case you had any doubts, here is [...]

It’s Christmas Time in Winnipeg →  December 19, 2009 112

I’m going home this week for Christmas, home, being Winnipeg. Thus, I won’t be packing my skateboard – it is friggin cold up there, and it’s covered in snow that doesn’t melt until April. Green Apple is a newish shop up there. They put out a video for your pleasure. It’s weird, but so is [...]

Skateboarding and Basketball, like PB and Jelly →  December 19, 2009 95

Today in Durham, there is snow on the ground… so what that means for the first Saturday in about 6 months, no skateboarding. But what is almost as good? Basketball, so that is what I’ll be doing watching today. Gonna watch UNC play Texas (and lose), then Duke will Destroy Gonzaga. What a great day. [...]

Skatemodo Interviews WELLBORN CLOTHING →  December 17, 2009 152

Wellborn Clothing began in 2007 as a D.I.Y. company by two friends in Chicago, Sean and Marfa. I asked them some questions, and they responded with sufficiently awesome answers. Read it and then go buy some clothes on their website: wellbornclothing.com Skatemodo: Who started Wellborn and why? Marfa: Wellborn Clothing was started by myself and [...]

Nick Tucker BLEW me… I mean BLEW me away with his berrics recruit video. So naturally, he has blown up ever since that… I guess The Berrics will do that to you. He placed 3rd at Tampa am, and now he rides for Silver Trucks. Here’s a welcome video he filmed for himself.
