Not that Stevie Williams needed help with his Supra color ways, but this time he got a little from Lil’ Wayne.
“I asked Wayne if he wanted to do a color way with my shoe,” Stevie said, “and he said he was up for it. Just supporting Wayne skateboarding, and having his name on my shoe, it just shows how big this skateboarding thing is. I’m excited about it.”
It would appear that Lil’ Wayne’s color is red. Click here to buy ($105.00) or follow the jump for the official details. [click to continue…]

Wall Street Journal writer and skateboarder Conor Doughterty previews the Danny Way documentary Waiting For Lightning for the hedge fund crowd in a story titled The Tao of Danny Way.
When skateboarders engage in the kind of barstool chat that consumes sports like baseball, Danny Way usually emerges as their pick for Best Skater Ever. Mainstream audiences may assume Tony Hawk is the Michael Jordan of skateboarding, but Danny Way is the skater’s skater.
We still haven’t seen Waiting for Lightning and each time we read about it we more interested. Guess we’ll have to buy in Friday when it comes out in the iTunes store.

If you’re going to hang out with skateboarders you might as well bring a camera and get the shot. At least that’s what Arto Saari has been doing lately. And, from the looks of his photos it would appear that Saari has another epic skate career in the works.

We won’t even mention how often, as kids, we dreamed of skating around Santa Monica with Jay Adams. Now, through the magic of video we all get to do just that with a slightly, older, wiser Jay on his Z-Flex P.O.P. board.
