(Not) For Sale

NO global distribution yet and can't figure out why we haven't received a buyout offer from an international surf conglomerate either - but we do have a graphics guy who tattoed our logo on himself - right next to the Consolidated Cube, so we're in good company.....
Core or Corporate? You decide - we already have..... I haven't seen anyone with Nike SB or Element tattoos yet - just an observation.....Me? I'm waitin' 'til we're bought by a huge "lifestyle" company with massive retail distribution and then I'm gonna' get a Wal Mart tattoo....

CONCUSSION MAG ISSUE 38

Concussion - I love that mag - some great shit in there - like our new ad for instance....Issue #38 is out now - buy a deck from us and maybe I'll send you one haha:

Oh yeah here's a couple outtakes from the sesh that we didn't use 4 the ad - we sat around wasting a lot of time arguing about which foto should be used - things got pretty ugly - that's the kind of thing you do when you run a wildly unprofitable skate company that no one has heard of and that doesn't matter anyway.......

It Is What It Is......

I love using this phrase - it doesn't mean shit but at the same time it can describe a situation that defies description. For instance; imagine you head out to a "Grand Opening" only to discover that the park ain't done, there is no "Grand Opening" and (drum roll please) - no air conditioning! Only 100 degrees in the shade......what's this world coming to? Next thing you know everyone will be riding fiberglass skateboards (don't laugh - I hear they last forever and the profit margins are huge......) - once you're there you might as well ride, right? Sean Barclay reigned supreme over the Fourth of July weekend with nose grinds on the over-vert clam and just about everything else he felt like trying - we slept 'til 2PM everyday and then went straight to the BlackJack tables, sobering up just long enough to sweat it out @ WagonWheel on the late shift - it is what it is....
