Gareth Stehr is opening a showing of his art work at LA’s Goodform Salon Gallery on Saturday, October 24, 2009 from 7-10 PM. As The Skateboard Mag’s Bart Jones says, “. . . if I knew any better I would say he’s gonna have some wild funky shit up in there…” No doubt.
It’s Halloween and you know what that means: time to suit up in a nice Where The Wild Things Are costume and head on over to the Volcom compound in Costa Mesa for the Damn Am October 22-25, 2009. This is just a little reminder. . .
Apparently, kids are so busy today sexting, facebooking, or gaming that they just don’t have any hands free to carry their favorite fashion accessory. Thank God, the people at Slingz noticed this. With their new Slingz strap it’s easy to carry a skateboard while talking on the phone, reading a magazine or sending a text.
Whether you’re a professional skateboarder, a college student, or a casual skater, we all face the same problem. Nobody likes to lug around their board under their arm or worry about where to leave it so it doesn’t grow legs. With the new SLINGZ skateboard strap, your problem is solved.
Oddly, we seemed to have solved this problem long ago. We actually ride our skateboards. Weird, huh?
According to Kilwag, one of our favorite skate blogs Skate And Annoy has been hit by a denial of service attack and he’s been wrangling it for a couple days now. Here’s is explanation for the sites current retro WordPress graphics:
My service provider thinks the site has suddenly and instantly become mega popular, thus causing server overload due to the high amount of php in use on the site. I’m more inclined to believe we are experiencing a Denial of Service attack – some individual or parties trying to overload the server and make it unavailable for viewing.
What does this mean for fans of the site? “It means you should get back to work! I’m working on the problem in conjunction with the ISP,” Kilwag says. We wish him luck. . .
Normally, we make fun of grown men who wait overnight out front of HUF for some new shoe. But those are Nikes. HUF’s latest is a Vans Old Skool and that’s a completely different story.
The Vans Old Skool by HUF is constructed with a canvas upper and full grain leather heelcup. Featuring a siped outsole, custom printed triangle pattern on the midsole and custom woven labels & embroidery, the Vans Old Skool by HUF is available in black, navy and cardinal red and sells for $85.
Might have to break down and actually buy a pair of these.
In Jefferson County, Alabama a man with in a skeleton mask robbed a convenience store and then escaped on a skateboard, according to a story on Alabama.com.
“It seems like Halloween is getting here early,” said sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Randy Christian.. . Deputies were called to the Kangaroo Express on Old Springville Road in northeast Jefferson County. The cashier told them a man pointed a semi-automatic stainless steel handgun at her and demanded money from the register. . . .He was wearing a black hood and black gloves, Christian said. He fled traveling west on Dug Hollow Road on a skateboard.
In Alabama skateboards are probably faster than most cars. . .
Etnies will be hosting a SoCal premiere of the Tim Brauch documentary Super Charged on October 16, 2009 at 8 PM. Word we got from the San Jose premiere is that this is one film that should not be missed. Throw in free tacos and beer and it sounds like a great night at the Sole Technology HQ at 20161 Windrow Dr, Lake Forest, CA 92630
