August 11, 2008
The new enjoi catalog is fun. They emailed me one day and asked me to do a few interviews for it (ie: the entire team), and I couldn't refuse. Read 'em over there, Or steal this.

Vert button...
August 7, 2008
I know, I know, vert's soooooo not cool. ESPN, the ultimate authority on skateboarding, even proclaimed it "dead," remember? Then, a day later, it was cool, I mean, "alive," again.
Anyway, at X Games last week, PLG took a total of 10 runs in Men's Vert (not to be confused with Women's Vert) and all were flawless. In other words, he didn't miss one trick the entire contest. He also prevented the "Twirling Carrot," or whatever they call him, from winning a gold medal again.
Imagine skating for like, an hour and not missing a trick? Where do I sign up?
I like Mike Anderson & Virginia!
August 7, 2008

Pretty sick back smith though, huh? Anyways, here's the rest of what was exciting from the demo:

I'm betting ESPN is really stoked that Danny nearly killed himself last weekend because Jake Brown landing this run is simply not dramatic or devastating enough for American television.

Clip #2 features Greg Lutzka, Rodolfo Ramos, Chris Cole, Nyjah Huston, Adam Dyet, Sean Malto and Ryan Sheckler.
Assumptions...
August 1, 2008
For some weird reason, lots of people assume I hate Ryan Sheckler. I think there's this thing that if you're some dude in the "core" industry or whatever, you're supposed to hate on Ryan. I didn't get that memo... must've missed it. He's always been pretty cool to me and I'm always impressed when I see him skate, I know that much. First try 360 flip over a large gap from today's X Games Street finals:
