Ryan Sheckler seems like the wrong person to be representing a debit card called “BillMyParents.” Wouldn’t it be more fitting for his parents to promote a card called “BillMyKid?”
Either way, it’s like some bad 90s flashback.

According to a little pre-show recon from Ashbury’s Lance Michael Hakker, Salomon Snowboards was been nice enough to equip their booth with a mini ramp. It looks perfect. We’re guessing this thing is going to get pretty crowded over the next few days.

Looks like Geoff Rowley has signed up for another year overseeing the design of Maloof Money Cup courses (which have grown to include an event in South Africa).
Rowley will lead the design team of pro skateboarders and experts alongside Joe Ciaglia from California Skateparks, whose company has built all four Maloof Money Cup courses since its beginning in 2008. . . “I really respect the Maloofs and what they’ve accomplished with this contest,” said Rowley. “Out of all the contests out there, the Maloof Money Cup is the only one that really delivers on giving the skaters and fans what they are looking for,” said Rowley.
Rowley definitely knows what makes spectacular skate terrain no doubt. Follow the jump for all the details.

When we heard first heart that Chris Cole was leaving Fallen Footwear for DC Shoes we were a little confused. Sure, there would be the increased paycheck, the increased promotion and pop-cultural visibility, but what about Jamie Thomas?
How could Chris Cole do that to his longtime friend and boss? More importantly, how could Thomas let him go? After reading the recent Zero Skateboards press release about how Chris Cole has become a “shareholder” it all makes sense.
“Cole’s loyalty and support have been an integral part of Zero’s success for the past decade. I’ve always included him in important decisions and brand direction, so it’s exciting to know that we’ll get to work together for the life of the brand. I couldn’t imagine a better partner,” says Jamie Thomas, founder and president of Zero Skateboards and Black Box Distribution.
We knew Jamie Thomas would figure out a way to get a piece of Cole’s DC cash.

With all the Jeff Grosso hype going down lately, it’s nice to see that Vans is taking a look at the man behind the myth with a new video series titled Jeff Grosso’s Love Letters to Skateboarding. It’s supposedly about “whatever Jeff wants it to be about” and that sounds just right to us.
