Maloof Money Cup women’s street winner Leticia Bufoni has a new Secret deodorant print ad out according to a post on The Skateboard Mag. Turns out she actually board slid a rail in a red dress. Apparently, girls don’t have to look like boys to skateboard. . .but Photoshopped heels help (click here for the video).

Rune Glifberg wants to go racing with his newest “used” BMW M3, according to a story on European Car Web.
Project E46 Racecar came to fruition when Glifberg found this pristine 2003 M3 for $21,500 with 65,000 miles. . . As this is written, the car takes up temporary residence at Evosport in Huntington Beach, Calif., where it will undergo the transformation from streetable to full-fledged track machine. The guys at Evosport have been building and racing the E46 M3 since 2001, and if the long line of custom M3s stationed out back is any indication, our little project is in capable hands.
Sounds like Rune is going racing. . .

With the publication of The Disposable Skateboard Bible artist/writer Sean Cliver has become a hot commodity (even with the Wall Street Journal, apparently), but if you want an interview done right, sick Dave Carnie on the subject.
That’s exactly what King Shit magazine just did.

Quiksilver has gone deep into the footwear industry and named Anton Nistl as the new president of DC Shoes, according to a story in the Orange County Business Journal.
He takes over running DC Shoes from former global president Nick Adcock and Americas general manager Mark Miller who left in recent months. . . . Nistl previously worked as senior vice president of sales at New York-based Vida Shoes International Inc., maker of shoes under the Baby Phat, Phat Farm, Osh Kosh, Carters Kids and other brands.
Sounds like Nistl has epic mass market skills and certainly knows soccer. Hopefully he likes skateboarding as well.

Day One Photos including ASR Opening party, Billabong’s Still Filthy and Quik Ry Craike Party
Day Two Photos including Class @ ASR and the ASR Fashion Show.
There are crowds walking the isles of the 2009 Fall ASR Show at the San Diego Convention Center. But the show is visibly smaller (click here for the mondo panorama image). The economy is still an issue, but most of the people we’ve spoken to this morning are feeling optimistic.

Chris Cole’s judo three was just a small part of his $2000 trickery tonight.
The Crossroads Best Trick was jam session after jam session as the packed house moved through the Blackbox skatepark to get the best angle on the features. It started with the stairs, moved to the barrels, and then to the water gap open, the water gap with a rainbow, and the water gap with a flat bar. The skating was non-stop.
At one point we heard Christian Hosoi turn to Dave Duncan and say, “I don’t know how they can slam so many times and not be hurt.” We couldn’t have agreed more. Then Dave replied matter-of-factly, “They’re kids!”
By 9:40 PM when Jamie Thomas began handing out the cash it was pretty obvious that the crowd agreed with the results. Andrew Pott got $1,000 on the stars, Ke’Chaud Johnson took home $2,000 on the barrel jump (14 barrels), edging out Slash and Danny Scher who both got 13 barrels, Tyler Hendley took $1,000 on the water gap and Chris Cole got a big $2,000 paycheck for winning. If you have any questions, check out Jamie’s offical results sheet at right.

On Labor Day 2009 snowboarder Todd Richards, writer Sean Mortimer, and skateboarder Jesse Fritsch, and Sweet Jerome (qualified old guys all) holed up at a secret southern California mini ramp and spent the entire afternoon trying to land frontside blunts. Tony Hawk even threw in a $300 prize. Let’s just say Todd Richards didn’t win.
