The Sitka crew gets about as woodsy as they can while still rolling. It’s down right furry.

Just saw Christian Hosoi tonight at The Skateboard Magazine’s PortFolio show at Port Long Beach, but we forgot to congratulate him on signing with Penny Skateboards. But we’re stoked he’s on the program.
“I wanted to work with Penny because after riding all the plastic boards on the market nothing felt as good under my feet as a Penny,” said Christian Hosoi. “As the original, it exudes style and performance, and Ben’s aim in starting Penny to get more feet on skateboards really appealed to me and my own life in teaching my own kids to skate. For me, Penny’s about what I’m about, so it’s an honor to become an ambassador.”
For the official word from Penny (and his new board), follow the jump. [click to continue…]

We don’t think we’ve spoken to Hudson Riley Hawk since he was two years old, so it’s good to hear what he has to say now that he’s a bit older and wiser. Guy Mariano and Daniel Espinoza also take part in this discussion with Erica Yary and Rob Brink.

Last summer (August 15, 2012) the Lemelson Center at the Smithsonian Institution invited Rodney Mullen to discuss “the role of invention and innovation” in American Life. As always, Mullen turns out to be as compelling a speaker as he is a skateboarder. Check it.

Before Instagram announced via their updated terms of service (December 17, 2012) that they may begin using user photos as potential advertising opportunities legendary skate photographers Grant Brittain and Mike Blabac discussed the idea of massively distributed images in the social age. What they have to say is interesting. And that’s why we’ve linked it up here. Or does that go without saying?
