Nice selection of Emericas new "Chillseekers" line in the store right now. Perfect for when you aren't skating, or if you're into it perfect for when you are skating.

Tons of new Emerica soft goods including the new Jerry Hsu "Saratoga" jean.

Some Westgate for the road.

Jerry Hsu and Louie Barletta Subject to Change Alternate Edit

2011-10-06T08:35:00.000-07:00

I couple weeks ago I posted the original of this part on the blog, recently someone on Youtube uploaded an alternate edit of this part. The song is the same but the part has a bunch of unreleased Jerry and Louie footage in it. :)

Brandon Westgate Venture Ad w/ Interview

2011-10-04T20:58:00.000-07:00

Best new pro in skateboarding today, amazing style, power and trick selection. His Emerica pro model is one of the best shoes I have ever skated (On my third pair and yes we have them in stock). His new Venture trucks ad is no exception.

Brian Lotti on the Crail Couch

2011-10-04T17:48:00.000-07:00

Stoked to see one of the most stylish skateboarders of all time on the crail couch. Style is a much talked about topic in skateboarding these days and I would like to think of Brian Lotti as being on of the innovators of good style in street skating.

Carter Spinks Short

2011-09-25T11:36:00.000-07:00

Anyone who knows Sparta also knows he's the best. Plus he loves cats, he loves every kind of cat. He just wants to hug all them but he cant. Cant hug every cat! He also likes to run.................he's probably thinking about cats again.

E'S Tri-X Northwest Trip Video

2011-09-23T20:32:00.000-07:00

Gots to get me some Accels to hide in the closet.

Colin Provost Video Drone

2011-09-22T10:35:00.000-07:00

This guy has to be one of the best in regards to this new breed of all terrain skateboarders. As you can see in this fresh Toy Machine Video Drone, he can skate transition.

And pretty much anything else.

Buy Emerica and Toy Machine!

2011-09-21T10:28:00.000-07:00

The man behind Alien Workshops Photosynthesis and Habitats Mosiac William Strobeck is on the crail couch right now with veteran Alien pro Jason Dill.

A Gaggle of Reets : The Worst Video Ever Made

2011-09-18T14:30:00.000-07:00

I started filming this video as a joke between me and Conlan about 5 months ago. Our original goal was to make a 10 minute long montage in honor of Warren Fosters video "The Art of the Soul Cock". Since that time it grew into a 24 minute not so structured video.

I hope everyone enjoys the video, or hates it. Either way I'm stoked.

New Anthony Pappalardo Footage!!!

2011-09-14T13:21:00.000-07:00

When I first heard Pops had new footage on The Berrics earlier today I laughed and thought this has to be some kind of joke. Low and behold it was true. Pops has and always be one of my favourite skateboarders, his part in Photosynthesis alone is legend worthy.

Heres the link to the new stuff.

http://theberrics.com/off-the-grid/anthony-pappalardo.html

and included is the said childhood obsession.

Zero Cold War Trailer and Dane Burman Interview

2011-09-11T13:17:00.000-07:00

Zero recently dropped a trailer for there newest project entitled "Cold War". Its looking up to be a really good video with an old school Zero vibe to it.

Apparently they will be running the entire project through a VHS player to give it the that filtered look that you see in the trailer. Very similar to Flipmodes "Caviar" video

Zero also just dropped an interview with Dane Burman about working on the video project, Check it out.

http://www.zeroskateboards.com/coldwar/?page=burman

Buy a Zero board, they don't disappoint.

He also recently had some tricks in this little masterpiece from Lucas Puig.

Jerry Hsu "10 From Back When"

2011-09-08T17:06:00.000-07:00

Networkskate.com just put up some amazing old footage of Jerry Hsu from around 2000-2004. Jerry is in my eyes one of the best to ever stand on a board, he adds a certain detail of fun into his skating that makes it that much more enjoiable. :)

Might as well turn this into a best of Jerry Hsu.

My personal favourite from Maples "Black Cat" video.

One of the best shared parts ever........

All switch!

Cairo Foster Joins Etnies

2011-09-05T18:46:00.000-07:00

You may have already heard that legendary Tilt Moder Cairo Foster has recently joined the Etnies squadron. Complete with a nice little commercial to jump things off.

As well as a panoramic promo entitled "Aimless".

Fresh Emerica!!!

2011-09-04T13:57:00.000-07:00

8 new shoes from Emerica are now on the wall!

Including Spankys newest pro model "The Situation"

Even got some for the little guys...........Reynolds approved!

The definite stand out would be the newly retooled Leo Romero pro model aptly named "The Leo".

It features an all new 400 NBS natural gum rubber cupsole, which I must say is a blessing if you are into the feel of a vulcanized sole but don't like the obvious foot abuse associated.

Brian Delatorre Welcome to Habitat

2011-09-04T11:00:00.000-07:00

Im sure everyone has seen this by now, easily one of the best parts to come out in years.

Well that part as well as Delas smooth stylings on the board have landed him a spot on Habitat.

Here is the welcome video filmed by VX overlord Josh Stewart.
