We got an email from Bryce Kanights the other day letting us know that the Sick Boys mini-site has launched and that we should check it out. We did, but Skate and Annoy posted it up super smooth so please go there and check out all the info on the re-release of the seminal 8mm film starring:
Tommy Guerrero, Mickey Reyes, Bryce Kanights, Mike Archimedes, Julien Stranger, Jim Thiebaud, Ron Allen, and Steve Caballero as well as shots of Christian Hosoi, Tony Magnusson, Eric Dressen, Danny Sargent, as well as other less famous names. It’s sounds like the skate video equivalent of unearthing King Tut’s tomb.
Ed Templeton has a new show opening November 15, 2008 at Roberts & Tilton in Culver City, California.
For Map of the Inner War, Ed Templeton saturates the gallery with over 250 new works including painting, sculpture, photography, and works on paper. Templeton documents his life, and the lives of the people around him, in a rich stream of images – images of himself and his wife, Deanna, in their day-to-day lives, and images of others, at home in Orange County, California or during the many tours he makes as pro-skateboarder and artist.

Remembering those who died to keep this country free by skating with your military friends. Everything should be celebrated with a skate contest when it really comes down to it.

One small deal that may be in the works would be the sale of Quiksilver, a maker of surfer-style clothing, to Nike or another strategic acquirer. Quicksilver [sic] has retained Morgan Stanley to advise on its strategic alternatives.

According to the LA Weekly kids lined up “several hundred deep” outside the Active Westwood store on November 8, 2008 for the release of the Bam/Kat Von D model Element Skateboards. The tattooed cele-bro duo reportedly signed autographs for a while and then Mike V.’s band played.

Next week on Friday November 14, 2008 at 8 pm (7 central), Tony Hawk will make a special guest appearance on the intrusively retarded NBC game show Deal Or No Deal.
