My homie Eddie Raskel and I go way back. He and the Ri$ky Bizne$$ Crew have a weekly night in SF at Double Dutch. If you are around please come out and support. Thanks!

If you haven’t heard about or are on twitter yet you might be missing out on sneak peaks and production samples that are coming out. It’s really easy to post quick pics of things that you are working on throughout the day without updating you site. This preview was leaked last week on twitter and I figured that I should show it here for everyone that might have missed it. Rebel8 did an amazing job on flipping my glider plane with familiar sayings I use in my line! To keep up with my daily doings and sneak peaks, before they make it to my site, you can follow me on twitter here.

I just got back from Las Vegas. A few days of walking around a trade show tires you out. I was pleasantly surprised to find this video waiting for me when I got back. Satva, from Vimby, was nice enough to come through and do a studio tour of my office and then hit the streets for a skate session. The video is a day in my life - welcome to my backyard. I am NEVER going to grow up.

Last night was epic! Once the results were in the streets of San Francisco exploded! Everyone was out like it was the eve of the new millennium. For the first time in awhile I can honestly say that I am proud to be an American. Over the past 8 years when traveling abroad people would ask you where you are from and I was embarrassed to tell them. Obama has restored hope and unified a nation. We are bound for great things!

Most of the packing and shipping is done. The shipments should be available at your local shop soon. I appreciate all the shops that stock the line and I will be highlighting them as the product starts finding it’s way to their shelves. The first store highlighted is SF local Fatlace They have a great store in SF’s Japan town. They also share my love for bikes an boards - so you know it’s good. They are being really selective of what they are stocking and only putting brands they believe in to their store. If I had a store I would run it the same way. I am honored to be part of the fatlace fam. Thank you! It is also Mark Fatlaces birthday! Happy birthday homie!
