In celebration of May the Fourth Nixon has released a limited edition Star Wars watch — The Boba Fett Diplomatic.
The Boba Fett Diplomatic is equipped with a Swiss made ETA 2824-2 mechanical automatic, three hand movement with sweep seconds hand and custom engraved movement rotor. The model features a Japanese ceramic case with a custom ceramic three-link bracelet band with a Sport Fit extension clasp. The watch is finished in a Boba Fett green color with the character’s kill stripes detailed on the band.
The box looks even better than the watch. . .which will cost around $2,500 (only 100 made). Wonder how many of these Todd Richards has scooped up? For the official word from Nixon, please follow the jump.
Update: Just when we wondered about TR we see this:
Apparently, P-Rod has had enough of being good on a skateboard and wants to see if he can roll with some dominators in other sports. He also wants to create a new show for Verizon’s proprietary network go90 zone. The result is Can I Hang? It begins on May 1, 2017 only on Verizon.
We never really followed the clothing company LRG (Lifted Research Group Inc.), but it appears the brand has been purchased by San Diego, California based Mad Engine, LLC, according to a story in the Orange County Business Journal.
“Robert Wright and the late Jonas Bevacqua founded the Irvine-based urban streetwear brand— better known as LRG—in 1999 to serve as “a bridge between skateboarding and hip hop. . . “In the months we have spent getting to know each other Mad Engine has shown a commitment to LRG’s future,” Wright said in a statement. “I am optimistic about this new chapter which creates the ability to grow the LRG brand and creates new opportunities and experiences for those involved.”
Mad Engine is a licensing company that works with major consumer brands like Disney, Coca Cola, and Mars and then distributes it through Walmart, Hot Topic, Kohls, Target, et al. This likely means that LRG sales likely be bigger than they’ve ever been very soon. Here, we’ll let Big Engine tell you all about their company.
This will reorganize your first world worries and cares for certain. Skateboarding is the antidote for so much that is wrong in the world and it would be great if more people understood that.
We finally figured out why Lizzie Armanto has been showing up so often in our Instafeed on a beach in nothing but a Target bikini. It’s because the girl is on fire. Now it all makes sense.
Hey, stoners. It’s 4/20. Whoooooo hoooooo! Wow, man. Looks like it’s time to buy yourself a new pair of Huf socks and smoke another, another bowl, man.

The Newport Beach Film Festival will be hosting the world premiere of Opper Films’ Secrets of Desert Point, a film that documents the discovery, evolution and exploitation of a legendary surf break in remote Indonesia almost 40 years ago. Here’s the pitch:
In the early eighties, while sailing off remote Lombok Island in Indonesia, young California surfer Bill Heick and his friends (dubbed the “Golden Beards”) stumbled across the perfect wave…a pristine barreling left reeling endlessly and empty over a shallow, live-coral reef. As treacherous as it was beautiful, it was later dubbed “Desert Point” for its dry forbidding nature. In the years that followed, a pioneer crew of hardcore surfers set up a makeshift beach outpost and kept their treasure off the surf-media map for almost a decade. Their mission: to surf uncrowded Desert Point at the highest level possible…no matter the cost. . . But Paradise, they quickly found, came at a price.
For the rest of the story, follow the jump, or better yet, check out the film when it premieres Monday, April 24, 2017 at 5:15 pm, at The Triangle 3 Theatre in Costa Mesa, California.
Can’t help but laugh when you hear the angry man at the beginning of Gage Boyle’s new Thunder Trucks part: “Do it again and I’ll take the camera from you. . . give me that goddamn board now. . . ” Nice work, Gage.
Looks like we’re all going to get a chance to check out the behind the scenes story of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater video game franchise with an upcoming documentary titled Pretending I’m A Superman. Looks like it could be good.
