News From August 2008

Trip to SF for the BUST or BAIL contest: Day 1

Image Description Here
Directly after Nick's pro party, the dudes possed up and drove up to San Francisco for the Bust or Bail contest.
Image Description Here
They showed up on Corey Duffel's porch and said, 'We're staying here.'
Image Description Here
They were just in time for a tea party he was having. What luck.
Image Description Here
Matt B called the hammock.
Image Description Here
They went skating and ran into some serious Loyal Pawnage. The brainwashing is getting through!
Image Description Here
Johnny skates some thing while Nick and Matt relax.
Image Description Here
Then Matt decided to roll up to the thing and did something shocking to J-Lay.
Image Description Here
It was time for some fro-gurt.
Image Description Here
Then they hit the BUST or BAIL comp. See the results on Thrasher.com
Image Description Here
Matt B signs an autograph, yeah, he gives them out for free, unlike Sheckler who charges 5 bucks per 'graf.
Image Description Here
Sinclair bought Matt B one size triple-D breast implant to suck on. But seriously, its important to stay hydrated when you are out skating. And sunblock would be a good idea too. Matt B was bogarting the implant all day and Nick started giving him the stink-eye
Image Description Here
After a full day of ripping they guys decided to retire to a skatepark for some more fun into the night.
Image Description Here
Whatever was going on, Matt B is down.
(See Matt B's 6-page interview in the new Transworld!!!)

Nick Trapasso Surprise Pro Party: Mega-post

Image Description Here
Matt B and the guys try to find the place...
Image Description Here
Image Description Here
Nick sleeps like a baby with no idea what awaited him. He thought it was a run-of-the-mill shop appearance, but little did he know Mike Sinclair had arranged a mega-sweet 'blessed' going pro party!
Image Description Here
A naked lady walked out and presented Nick with his pro board adorned with all sorts of cooking paraphenalia: A bag of rare Oregano, some imported cooking Sherry, and a few beers. PHOTO KEY (the difference between where Nick looks, and the dudes with cameras) (Nick loves Oregano)
But then Grif moved in for a snake...
Image Description Here
He got that sweet bag of Oregano! He will be cooking a hearty pasta sauce this weekend.
Image Description Here
NAKED HUG!
Image Description Here
Oh yeah, NIck's mom was there?
Image Description Here
Image Description Here
Image Description Here
It was also a Pinata Party!
Image Description Here
Nick swings at the Pinata with his first pro board...
Image Description Here
Then it breaks open and everybody scrambles to get the goodies! I have no idea what it was stocked with.
Image Description Here
Kevin B. (AWV) with 'the Boosh"
Image Description Here
Image Description Here
'Did you see that naked lady from THIS angle?'
Image Description Here
Image Description Here
They even had a Disc Jockey...
Image Description Here
Grif was doing some heavy lurkage on the now clothed lady.
Image Description Here
fuck you I'm having a good time.
Image Description Here
Special Shirts were made just for this occasion.
Image Description Here
Image Description Here
Image Description Here
Image Description Here
Image Description Here
Good Times were had...
Image Description Here
Buy one you Loyal Pawns!
Image Description Here
Yeah! Buy one! ---------Bonus Photo: A Parting shot

RVCA signing at Active Norco: Coverage from above

Image Description Here
Jimmy, the RVCA TM drove us there. As soon as we left he shouted 'slut!', and pointed at this lady.
That is pretty normal here in the OC, but we were off to the IE. See Jimmy's RVCA Skate Blog for bonus coverage.
Image Description Here
Josh and Ed signing away. Nobody got their body signed, I guess we are not 'rock-starry' enough.
Image Description Here
Austin was ready for some body parts, Josh, not so much. One kid had some Small ass wheels, and Raymond was gonna give him a free pair, but took off and left the kid hanging.
Image Description Here
Leo is just as handsome as Austin and Josh...
Image Description Here
Spanky showed up too! That girl in the background was moving in for the kill. She wanted to go out with him, but all she ended up with was this guy. Either way Spanky gets rad.
Image Description Here
These kids I have seen before. Their fro's are getting sweet.
Image Description Here
Erica, Active's organizer extraordinaire, was there to oversee the festivities. I know you Toy Website Lurkers LOVE Active Erica so I tried to get some shots for you, but she is shy.
Image Description Here
This kid made a home-made Toy Hat, hello lawsuit! Here is a close up.
Image Description Here
Just for the fans...
Image Description Here
I found Jimmy and Leo in the swimsuit section getting weird.
Image Description Here
The age group that the Toy team has been attracting keeps getting younger. Our 'Hello Kitty' series is coming out next month.
Image Description Here
Each board comes with a big red lollipop?

Austin's Birthday at Raging Waters!

Image Description Here
Yesterday, A-Stone and a bunch of homies piled into a car and drove there. Purposely getting real hot, so the water would feel super good.
Image Description Here
Always wear sunblock, it is important because by the time these guys are old, skin cancer will be happening to 5 year olds...
Posted August 22nd, 2008 by I wish I had went! Bummer!

While at RVCA for other stuff, guess who shows up?

Image Description Here
Josh Harmony back from a whirlwind Fallen Video premiere tour comes to shred the ramp.
Image Description Here
Stu, Jimmy's right hand man, is so happy that spontaneous man-love erupts like an ejaculating volcano.
Image Description Here
Grant and Grif are only slightly amused by this, but really amped on Olympic Gymnastics, especially Shawn Johnson. They hate 'The Nasty'.
Image Description Here
I'm not sure Austin has been watching the Olympics.
Image Description Here
Before the session, they got sidetracked by new magazines.
Image Description Here
Check out Mike Burnett's Burnout, its great!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTIN! Today is his B-Day!

A little mangy dog went nuts on us as we entered the school.

Austin talked to Braveheart about some protection.
Image Description Here
He teleported him to the relative safety of Mt. Grif Dog...
Image Description Here
And made Grif pee in a corner for territory's sake.
Image Description Here
The evening ended casually.

I was hugged by a drunken Tommy Guns in a throng of sweaty skaters being pushed out by security...
Image Description Here
The master of the evening, Billy Marks, coming through with an EPIC part.
Image Description Here
My favorite parts to watch were Matt B and Josh H's, Slash's, and Chris Coles. But the stunner of the night was how good James Hardy is, and how amazing Billy Marks is. See MUCH MUCH better coverage of the evening over at Burnout by Mike Burnett...
Who do you think will have the best part? Comment below!

Ghetto Bank

Just released! : L. Kincade #14
Image Description Here
Rob went all Sun God on a blunt. Blonds really do have more fun.
Image Description Here
He revitalized himself through meditation.
Image Description Here
Grant and Austin thought he was being weird.
Image Description Here
Never one to be left out, Grant got rad on the bank, too.
Image Description Here
Image Description Here
Image Description Here
Image Description Here
The spot was lousy with rubbish.
Image Description Here
Poor Brian was made to ride in the trunk. I think Kincade needed some space from his creative juices.
Image Description Here
As you can see, the juices are flowing.
Image Description Here
Yeesh..
Some psycho child went and re-created Nick's part from Suffer the Joy in a video game... Creepy, but cool.

Diego Update

Butch has been resting up and keeping it real, watching the new Rambo movie on repeat. With that sort of motivation he'll be up and slashing in no time.

He was amped when P-Stone and Noro came by for a visit after his surgery.
In the meantime he'll be checking out his old Video Parts and Kincade 13.
