skateboard on seshn

This year we are on board with the crew for this year’s Philly AM. Be sure to stop and check it out!  

Ronnie, Andrew and Thad are in Prague for 2 weeks filming for a few projects. They arrived yesterday.
 
Here is an update from Ronnie
 
We finally made it to Prague.  Thad & Andrew were champs on the plane and managed
to get cut of from the alcohol bar and then get invited back for more.   Amazing! 
I woke up at 5:45am and woke up the others.  Andrew and I found a store that had
some cheap food compared to the dinner in Old Town we had last night in front of
the clock. It’s 8:20 am and we’ve eaten and ready to go skate.  Were really close to one of the
best places to skate in Prague.   I’ll check back in tonight or first thing in the morning!
 
Peace out!

Baltimore native now Huntington Beach skate rat just sent us over his most recent video part for the VU Skateboard Shop Video. If your in the Baltimore area be sure to check out VU  

The new Akinz Boardwear site is up and ready for you to check out!  With a new cart, blog, about, etc… there’s a lot more to see and a lot more to buy…. with even more designs coming soon. Check it out at  Akinz.com

 
Billabong officially announced that they have acquired the Sector 9 company and along with it, Gullwing trucks. Although there is much speculation on the purchase price, the overall sentiment is a little bit shocked.  Some are shouting ’sellout’ while others are stoked for the boost the longboarding industry will get from the much more substantial financial backing. 
 One thing is for certain that Sector 9 boards will soon be everywhere (not that they weren’t already).  There’s no word yet on whether the Gullwing trucks switchover will have an effect on Dregs or Arbor.  However, as part of the deal, co-founders Steve Lake and Dennis Telfer and co-owner Dave Klimkiewicz are supposed to be sticking around in their current jobs, therefore, I doubt anyone should be worried about losing the original vision and creativity that Sector 9 brought to their field.

I know this is a little late but finally found the time to post these photos.
 
Boardpusher held a comp at Denver park for Go Skate Day, it was a blast. The sun was blasting and so were the shredders.
First up is the Pro/Am comp in the peanut bowl (9ft)

The Bloodsucking Toy Machine skateboarding company is getting their crew in a van and moving up west through the coast. The west coast, and will be bringing the whole team this time around. They most likely will be using a lot of the stops for footage in their upcoming skateboarding video, and you can be a part of it. If you managed to catch them on their Lurkfest tour, then you’re going to be in for a good time when the Toy Machine skateboard team lands at local shops, parks, and more for signings and demo’s.

Its rolling into summer really fast here in Colorado. I had the chance to go shoot some skateboarding, here are a few shots from the last week for you guys. Hope you like them.
