Another Kelby training seminar, the one, " creative suite 4 UNLEASHED!".

Spike Jonze at the MoMa - Thursday, Oct. 15, 2009

Just got back from NYC. I made a special trip up to the Big Apple to check out "An Evening of Skate Videos" - an event held by Poprally in support of the Moma's exhibit honoring the work of Spike Jonze, co-owner of Girl Skateboards and director of "Video Days" ( the epic Blind Skateboards video), and director of "Where the Wild Things Are." The panel included a who's who of the skateboarding world, they included Spike Jonze, Patrick O'Dell (MC for the evening), Mark Gonzales, Lance Mountain, Jake Phelps, Tobin Yelland, Ty Evans, Greg Hunt, and Ed Templeton. Some other notable's that showed up included Giovanni Reda, Steve Rodriguez, Steve Olson, Jason Dill, Mike O'Meally, and Pitcrew Local Tyler Tufty. It was a great night of some classic skate videos and a great chance to get some great comments by those that were involved with them. Following the event, the band No Age put on a kick-ass show while the Colt 45 flowed.

Good Times!

MAC, PC, What's the difference . . .

Although I didn't get the photo credit, my pic of everyone that came out to skate and support the riders at the King of Series held by DC Shoes last Saturday is up on their website. Big thanks goes to Tim aand Malcolm at Pitcrew and Jeff Pang with DC for putting on a great event.

From the photo it doesn't look like much, but I think this could be a
fun hip to skate.

Decisions, Decisions

After about 48 hours of trying to make a very difficult decision between the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Honda Element, I retired the Rodeo for the Hyundai Santa Fe . . . I think I made the right choice!

Element's "Make it Count" Tour

It was super hot for the Element Demo yesterday - starting at 3 p.m. for the signing, I waited for 2 hours to get in. The actual demo didn't get started until 8 p.m., with no video premiere to follow. Either way it was a good demo, and the whole team, including Bam's parents were great. I even made it onto their website - yeah I know, I'm a geek! (http://www.elementskateboards.com/makeitcount/?p=470)
