On August 21, 2009 just a week after Lucas Magoon went down with a head injury, Celtek designer Dave Doman went down with a similar injury while skateboarding in San Celemente, California, according to the Celtek website.
Doman was rushed to Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, where he is currently in a medically induced coma, recovering from his injuries. Things are looking positive, but it’s going to be a long road to recovery. . . Hanging out in the ICU isn’t cheap so we are offering this poster and t-shirt featuring Dave’s original art to help raise some funds. 100% of the proceeds of the sale will go to help Dave with his recovery expenses.
It’s a good thing to do, not to mention a nice graphic T.

This clip from Zimtstern would have easily won many of the recent snow and skate video advertising contests. More importantly it puts us right back in the fall feeling when the air gets crisp, the nights get long, and we start strapping into our snowboards in the middle of the livingroom . . .

Trevor Andrew makes a great rock star. Then again he always did. But now, he’s doing it for real with his music. With a new album coming out some time in the next four to six months, he sad down with JamBase.com to talk about the band, the music and how Santigold got him going on the right track:
She’s a great supporter and a great business woman. She just schooled me to the game and once I had all these songs written – it was really a private thing; I did it by myself – she was the one who took it to the next level and was like, “I’m getting these to producers.” She did that and really motivated that and just encouraged me. [She said], “Just because you’ve lived your dream with snowboarding doesn’t mean you can’t have a new dream.”
Behind every successfully troubled man. . .
