I hope it’ll be better tomorrow.
On the other hand…

Surfing’s great ambassador Kelly Slater stopped for a few shots with a couple of stoked local groms down at Lower Trestles the other day. Could this guy get any better for the sport of surfing? Honestly, what Kelly has done has been out of this world and it’s sad to think that he is getting older and won’t be the “same Kelly” for too much longer. Regardless, Slater is the man and if you think he is whack, you really have issues to deal with.
Here are some shots from Kelly’s seshn:
Ran into this footy of Andy Irons on Youtube. I have no idea where this dude got this footy but the edit came out nice and it def gets you a bit amped up to go surf.

Burton just released a line of headphones, dubbed the ear nuggets, ear goggles, and Yo Muffs which are strangely reminiscent of Skullcandy designs. Of course they are priced well below the Skullcandy prices even though their driver sizes are up there with Skullcandy’s. They come in a variety of colors and can be found at store.burton.com or at any Burton Flagship store


Andrew Reynolds joins an elite crew of skateboarders on Nixon Watches. The official Nixon website revealed today that Andrew Reynolds is the latest skateboarder signed to the watch giant and will have his own style and flavor embedded into a new watch line up. This comes as great news for Reynolds, with his new Deathwish project launching out of Baker, and the new Emerica shoes which some say could have “lights” on them. (according to recent ads) Andrew Reynolds has been doing some great things lately, and this could be seen as another piece to the puzzle. Altamont & Nixon…now that’s a collaboration that has money written all over it.
Man, I wish I could be featured on Food Network, or at least eat some of the food that they create on the show. I should have gotten a degree in video or something along those lines. Because then I could be the camera guy for some of those shows with great food being made. Or, become a professional skateboarder and be featured just like Kris Markovich! Featured skateboarding on Ace of Cakes. Here’s the footage:

If you’re not familiar with The Berrics, you should definitely check in sometimes. They have a full site of media, videos, and photos from Steve Berra’s and Eric Koston’s skate park called “The Berrics”. You may have previously seen the park in episodes of Rob & Big, and they produce a ton of videos with teams from across the nation coming in and throwing down some tricks. Well, right now they have a full page of “BANGIN” which you can check out by visiting the official Berrics, Banging Webpage.
The one thing that I don’t like about The Berric’s, and it is minor, its that you can’t directly download any of their media. But some people are able to decompile the flash player, and bring you gems like: Jason Lee Skateboarding at the Berrics, and I don’t mean classic Jason Lee footage, I mean recent footage, like this below, just wait for it…it’s the whole Stereo Team, but you can clearly see Jason Lee midway through skateboarding and featured:
