So Crimson went bye bye a while back. Apparently Markovich's backer backed out. So now Kris is running the show on a familiar looking effort under a new name: Given...check out the press release.

Rob Welsh Top 5

I've always backed skaters from Maine because its practically the Maritimes. If you've been to Maine then you know its pretty similar geographically and culturally. Welsh is the man and hes got a top 5 up over at The Tap...

But whats the deal with New Englanders always thinking their chowder is the shit? Maritimer chowderrrrr is on point.

Whats on TV?

Skateboarding, thats what. This is oldish and some of you may have already read it, but Slap posted a story about the "mainstreamizing" and commodification of skateboarding in the media. peep the link

Knife Fighter

My good pal Mark has been getting his creativity on while I was away and has created a new blog called Knife Fighter. I was greeted with a very thorough explanation why Def Leppard's Hysteria is one of the greatest albums of all time...which is speaking my language.

Link!

Whats up at Turf?

Apparently Mike York posted very negative comments regarding art dude Bob K on the Turf Website...which just so happens to be down at time of posting. What the deally with Turf? I was feeling it, I hope its not doneski.

Guess whos bizzack

back from the 'Ru...pretty sick down there. Only managed to get on my board once...but I hit up Miraflores skatepark for a bit of a shred. Above is a photo of one of the highlights.

Its Official.

We all pretty much knew this. But here is the marketing evidence.

Rumblings

I know I've been slack ass with the posting...and its not like I ever bring hard hitting news to the masses. I don't think its my job...so many people do it so much better. Big news it big news though and I can't resist sometimes. Soooo Mr. Saari is now in the Sect. I was kind of surprised to see that. Also there is some news starting to leak from the Gravis camp too. The skate division is launching soon..heres the team run down I was told:

1. Arto Saari
2. Dylan Reider
3. TBA
4. TBA
Europe
1. Steve Forstner
2. Javier Mendizabel

I knew this was how it would look. I guess another name is to be announced soon...and he might be Australian.
