We didn’t attend Agenda. In fact, we haven’t been to one of the shows for what seems like years now (2014 it seems), but truth up, no one called to say they missed us so guess we’re all good. Luckily, LA Weekly went this year so we got the word on this year’s summer Agenda show from an outside source. Which is a good thing every once in a while.
Here’s a sample of what LA Weekly’sIvan Fernandez had to share:
The layout was such that everyone had to walk through the pop-up shops area first before arriving to either music stage. That’s probably why most of the people arriving to watch the Beat Junkies were dressed in new shirts branded with cartoon characters, or sporting new pairs of limited-edition kicks imported from Japan, or strapped with giant novelty backpacks large enough to carry three average-sized toddlers.
Kind of bummed we missed Tyler. . . again, but don’t think we missed much else. Click the link for the rest.
Man down, man down! Seems things aren’t all grand at the piss beer open in South Africa.
We were sad to see that the Great One had a little trouble in the barrel. Apparently,
these things happen to the best of them.
When you think of all the crime going down in the city of San Francisco on July 11, 2017 it’s good to know that the San Francisco Police Department would allow so many of their officers to hang out a catch all the action at Dolores Park.
The Two Farmtables and a Microphone crew is headed to Oceanside, California on Sunday July 23, 2017 with The Clymb EVP Luis Vargas on the mic and the legendary DJ Greyboy on the turntables. It all goes down at Cyclops Farms.

It’s home tour time with Ed Templeton, but please don’t go to his house and steal any of his stuff now that you know exactly where it is because that would be so not nice. Ya dig?
Yeah, there’s some retro motorcycles up in this piece, but it’s also got Steve Cabellero and Christian Hosoi so we’re willing to sit through the vroom vroom nonsense for a little bit of vert.
We lagged pretty hard on this one, but just so we have it up for posterity here is part three of Tommy Guerrero’s interview with amazingly talented Huntington Beach Pier walker Ed Templeton.
On Saturday, June 24, 2017, Switchfoot’s 13th Annual Bro Am at Encinitas, California’s Moonlight Beach brought 17,000 people to the shore, made them dance, and raised more than $200,000 for San Diego youth initiatives.
“We are so honored that the local community would partner with us to host such a unique, inclusive, and meaningful event to help local kids in need,” says Switchfoot’s Jon Foreman. “To see our hometown come together and help deserving kids is an incredible experience. Surfing, Music, and the San Diego scene at its best.”
We’re always glad to see good people doing great things. Aren’t you? For the official word including all the detail from Switchfoot please follow the jump.
It’s rare that we find ourselves waiting for part two of anything, but after part one of Tommy Guerrero’s interview with Ed Templeton we were itching to get back at it. Thankfully, that time has come. Enjoy.
Street League Skateboarding’s video on demand channel ETN got a serious boost on June 22, 2017 when it was announced that Fuel TV founder CJ Olivares would be the new CEO.
“Finding an executive like CJ to lead the business into the next chapter is like finding a unicorn,” said SLS founder and Chairman of the Board Rob Dyrdek. “There are no other people I know that have run a global channel of the magnitude that he has with the unique programming mix of skateboarding, live events, and irreverent original shows. He is a perfect fit to take ETN to the next level and developing SLS into the future.”
This seems like a perfect fit. No one in action sports television has done a better job of bridging the gap between TV execs and skateboarders than Olivares and he seems happy about this new chapter.
“Taking the helm of ETN Media is an amazing opportunity to continue to build a game-changing platform that can engage and entertain skateboarding audiences around the world. The team’s early efforts to create original, must-see programming have already struck a chord with a global fan base and this is just the beginning.” Olivares continues, ”In terms of SLS, there is an exciting opportunity for continued international expansion on the road to skateboarding’s debut at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.”
We’re looking forward to seeing what Olivares can pull together this time around. For the official word from SLS, please follow the jump.
