Tony's Travels

Tony's getting out and seeing the sites somewhere in the Northwest. Maybe you got to see him on a recent Matix Tour. Northwest is the bomb in the summer. Check this out and you can see how he flows.

Border Patrol

These guys sweated us for about an hour outside of El Paso at a checkpoint along the 10 Freeway. They made us pull over and then searched the car with dogs. They sat all of us on a bench fitted with leg irons and attempted to mess with us. We were too cool and called them out. In the end they had to let us go. Their approach seemed too harsh because we are clearly not smugglers. We're skateboarders. Thanks for an unforgettable experience, fricking jerks!

Enjoying the summer sun

Chad put this together up in ND. Holla at Chad if you're headed north.
New shops this week are Skatology in Bel Air MD and Black Cat in Salem VA. We're psyched to be working with these guys. Now get off the stupid internet and go skate!

New rider

We're psyched to welcome Ivan to the team. He comes highly recommended by those who know. Let us know what you think of this footage.

Contest win in France

Nice job. That's the second contest he's won this summer. Keep it up and good luck.

Tuesday Spot Check

In trying to get on a schedule for our blog, we're gonna show some spots on Tuesdays. Here's the Ridge in Baltimore MD. Sickest DIY spot we've see. Send us a video of the sickest spots and we'll post them. One.

UPDATE: This spot was destroyed by bulldozers on the very day we posted this video.

MLB All-Star Game Anaheim, CA

So Tuesday July 13th was my Birthday and what do I get to do, skate a demo at Angels Stadium before the MLB All-Star baseball game. Stix Rideshop was contacted to put a little something, something together. To say the least people who know baseball have no clue about skateboarding. We all had to wear the same corporate sponsored tee, we were not fed, had no shade and had to skate in 100 degrees weather. My favorite way to spend a birthday. Here is a pic or 2 and if you would like to check out a montage of the event click on the youtube link courtesy of Doug Des Aultes. Thanks homie.

Get yourself some of this

If you don't know, you should know. Godfather of soul.

Skate Park Montage

We rolled up to York from Baltimore and had a sick session. Jon from Exist Skateshop set it up and Ryan Boblits who is from Baltimore was there ripping as well. We had a great time. This is a sick skatepark for sure. Thanks again to our hosts
