But that’s not all. Not only will there be Skullcandy preroll on The Berrics videos, but there will also be a Skullcandy recording studio at The Berrics and, The Berrics design staff will help design Skullcandy apparel, accessories, and headphones.
“Eric and I have spent the past five years developing a new paradigm for media in the skateboarding industry,” said Berra. “This partnership with Skullcandy, especially with their renewed focus on skateboarding, enables us to collaborate on special content, make exclusive product for our employees as well as all the different types of skateboarders that step foot into the Berrics. We’ve been looking for a partner like this for quite sometime, and Skullcandy is the ideal brand for this new type of innovative partnership.”

Grain Surfboards, the York, Maine based manufacturers of beautiful, handmade wooden surfboards is launching The Cedar Hill Skateboard as part of its Offcuts Initiative.
“The Offcuts Initiative is a recognition of our effort to waste no waste,” states Brad Anderson, Grain co-owner. “In the normal course of producing surfboards and Home Grown Kits, we’ve simply devoted ourselves to finding ways for each off-cut to be used somewhere down the line.” Though the last stop for Grain’s shavings and splinters is as animal bedding or garden mulch, whatever wood harbors even a hint of utility gets saved in the corners of the shop to await it’s full potential.
The Cedar Hill ($250 complete) is a cedar veneer laminate with “SFI-certified sustainably harvested maple.” The top is finished with a “permanent grip-tape” deck of bamboo cloth laminated with Entropy Eco-resin, and with the distinctive Grain Surfboards logo burned into the deck and bottom.” Follow the jump for more details or click here for more info.

Karmaloop.com, the Boston-based urban fashion online retailer, is dropping in on online skateboard retailing with a new site called BrickHarbor.com.
“While our goal is to appeal to customers that actually skate, our expert staff strives to provide the best customer service to aspiring skateboarders as well, creating a unique user experience that will leave customers impressed and eager to return,” says Chase Whitaker, Brick Harbor’s Director of Operations.
The site lists PJ Ladd, Terry Kennedy, Jack Curtin, Stevie Williams, and Gino Ianucci as their team and they’re playing the “created by skateboarders for skateboarders” game from the start. Looks like CCS is getting a little more competition. And if BrickHarbor can do for skateboarding what Karmaloop does in youth fashion this could get interesting. For the official word, follow the jump. [click to continue…]

It appears that Ryan Sheckler hasn’t let a small thing like a $100,000 Las Vegas jewelry heist keep him from partying in Sin City. He reportedly was back in town to host a party at MGM Grand’s Wet Republic during spring break, according to a story on Haute Living.
Sheckler became the center of attention when he took his shirt off and lounged by the private pools in front of his VIP area. Female fans flocked to his bungalow wanting to get up close and personal with the heartthrob. He warmly greeted and chatted with his admirers and even took photos with a bevy of beautiful bikini-clad partygoers.
Yes, that’s what fame will get you, boys and girls. Keep riding that skateboard and get a good agent.

Oddly, this seems to be the same attitude most longboarders have when we see them out in the wild. . .
