Chris Nieratko nailed down new parent Jeff Grosso and managed to get maybe three parenting tips out of the man. Most of which are extremely real, just like Grosso himself.

The best part about watching Buoloco interviews is the facial expressions of people while they try to figure out what Ed is saying. Paul Rodriguez is not immune. Watch as the professional manages to stay professional in the face of nearly impossible to understand questions.

Seeing as five of Plan B’s skaters also ride for Nixon, both crews thought it would be awesome to put their heads together. The result is The Soundclash Project.
The Soundclash Project is made up of new pro model boards representing Paul Rodriguez, Torey Pudwill, Ryan Sheckler, Danny Way and Colin McKay. Each board features pre-applied custom grip tape, corresponding custom wheels and a custom color update to Nixon’s TPS (mobile speaker). This collar is now available on nixon.com/soundclash and select skate shops worldwide in limited quantities and once they sell out, they are gone forever.
A skate deck, wheels, and a Nixon TPS. Click here to snap one up now, or follow the jump from more info and photos. [click to continue…]

Sole Tech’s Don Brown had his Insta from last night’s (October 13, 2012) Bake & Destroy premiere “riot” picked up and run in The Hollywood Reporter, not bad for a night out on the town. According to the story:
An unknown number of people attending a skateboarding movie premiere clashed with police Saturday night in Hollywood near the Vine Theater. . . . Several people identified by local media as skateboarders threw bottles at police officers, according to a report from NBC4. Twitter feeds from people on the scene described police in riot gear flanking the intersection of Hollywood Blvd. and Vine and walking toward the crowd.
So funny how the police can turn 300 people having fun into a “riot” simply by showing up in their ready to rumble suits, then again, it got the Baker Boys all over the news for free in the LA Times and newspapers all across the country. The only thing getting more coverage today was some guy jumping out of a hot air balloon.
Interesting to put what actually happened in terms of what NBC Los Angeles reported: “Angry mob of skaters” and pedestrians “running for their lives.” Just think how messed up all their other stories are?

So you’re staying you didn’t get invited to billionaire Ron Burkle’s Bevery Hills mansion last weekend (October 7, 2012) to hang out with celebrities, rockstars, Shaun White and Tony Hawk as part of the Stand Up For Skateparks fund raiser? We didn’t either, but Tony raised a bunch of money for the Tony Hawk Foundations apparently, and it went a little like this.

The dirty streets of Reno, Nevada is the perfect place for a premiere of the new The Bangshow video Birds of A Shitfeather. According to a post on Yobeat the complete video is showing tonight (October 12, 2012) at the Freight House. Nice to see someone in snowboarding is still keeping it dirty fresh.

Network A, one of the Youtube channels desperately in search of “traction” in action, launched an innovative “interactive” video today with Plan B Skateboards.
This online video – with over 800 viewable combinations – lets the viewer edit the footy while watching it. The video features some amazing skating from Ryan Sheckler, Paul Rodriguez and Torey Pudwill. With a history of releasing videos like “Questionable” and “Second Hand Smoke,” Plan B is known for taking skate videos to the next level, so it should be no surprise that they raised the bar again in this partnership with Network A.
Try it and see or follow the jump for all the official details. [click to continue…]
