Seems most of the SoCal action industry made the pilgrimage to Las Vegas the weekend of October 14-16, 2011 for the Caffeinated High Fructose Corn Sweetener Finals presented by Go Kill Elephants Daddy. We didn’t watch one lick of the contest so we’re not going to pretend to know what went down, but from the looks of the results there were no real surprises.
PLG took the vert event and the 2011 tour title, while Ryan Decenzo did the same in street. Follow the jump for the full results. [click to continue…]

Today (October 14, 2011) Thrasher Magazine announced that they have convinced Ewan Bowman to join the team as Director of Videography.
[Ewan] work with P-Stone, Schmitty and the rest of the crew to take the videos you see on our website and DVDs to the next level of radical.

We can’t agree more. Follow the jump for an full interview with “Lord Bo.”

Last night the pleas went out over Facebook, Instagram, and via text: Skateboarder Kanten Russell’s 15-year-old daughter Kaelia has been reported missing in Chula Vista, California. She was reportedly last seen with a Bryan Espinoza in a yellow Nissan Xterra with license number 6AZP660.
Captain Roxana Kennedy of the Chula Vista Police department says they’re doing everything they can.
“What we have is a high school girl who was last seen with her boyfriend,” Kennedy said. “They left in a vehicle together. . . Right now there is nothing that we have to follow up on that would suggest foul play. This girl does not have a history of runaway. So the family is understandably concerned. We are doing everything we can and if anything came up that suggested foul play we would release that information.
Hopefully, it doesn’t come to that. Anyone who has info should call the Chula Vista Police Department at (619) 691-5151.

Last night (October 13, 2011) Supra kicked off the official opening of their newest retail shop in Paris with a pretty large party.
The event started at the store on Rue du Temple, and the celebration continued at the after party around the block at Jules & Jim, a soon-to-be-opened boutique hotel in the Marais. Good food, cold drinks, and a blazing fire provided the perfect backdrop to incredible sets from DJ Feadz and Sam Tiba.
For all the photos follow the jump.

Police in Shawano, Wisconsin and closed the city’s skate park after what they call “a rash of problems there, including fights, littering and loitering,” according to a story in the Shawano Leader.
Capt. Jeff Heffernon said the closure is not permanent and the skating area could be re-opened in a week or so. In the meantime, he said, the department would welcome any community feedback on the matter.
Well, how about this, Capt. Heffernon: Why not just do your job and make sure the people causing the problems are taken care of so the good kids can roll. Or would that mean losing too much donuts and coffee time?

For all those times we’ve wished we could just wad up our skateboard and put it in our pockets, Snap Skateboard has the answer: a twice folding skateboard. With Snaps interlocking technology it is possible to fold both ends of the skateboard back on the deck. What results is a 14-inch long package that can be stowed away in. . . well, nothing, because it’s still too big and bulky to put anywhere.
How much is this folding skateboard that you’d never want to ride anyway? For a limited time only it’s selling for $169.00. Click here to buy one or follow the jump for more info. [click to continue…]

With all the coverage today regarding Shaun White Supply Co. and it’s soon-to-launch signature line of China crap we were surprised that no one mentioned the one new Shaun product that is made here in America: toilet paper.
Shaun White may wipe his ass with crisp hundred dollar bills, but it’s comforting to know that he understands that the other 99 percent of us don’t. That’s apparently why he’s reportedly releasing his new triple-ply line of Shaun Wipe Xtreme bathroom tissue.
Rumor has it that he will roll out (and demonstrate) his new personal hygiene product immediately prior to his vert run in the Caffeinated High Fructose Corn Syrup Championships presented by Go Kill Elephants Daddy in Las Vegas the weekend of October 13-16, 2011. And seriously, we can’t wait to watch him wipe out the competition.

This year at the annual Tony Hawk Foundation Standup For Skateparks benefit at former Source-Interlink owner Ron Burkle’s Beverly Hills estate, T-Hawk, Shaun White, Lincoln Ueda, Mitchie Brusco, Matt Hoffman, and Bucky Lasek put on a skate demo, the Black Keys played a private show and the whole gig raised $755,000 to help build free public skateparks in low-income neighborhoods.
“It was our best event by far,” said Tony Hawk. “The auction items were one-of-a-kind, and the skate demo was one of the best sessions I have ever witnessed (or taken part in). The Black Keys were the icing on the cake—the crowd was in awe.”
