Not too long ago the kind folks over at Stance sent a nice package of tubed comfort for me to check out. Resulting in this review and this short little video of local kid Jerry skating the socks. Big thanks to Ryan Kingman for the great socks and his generosity.

Aside from being a talented rider of wood, Mr. Clint Peterson is also pretty handy and nifty with block prints, wood burning, drawing and other similar types of visual arts. Today he’s having a show in the LA, so if you can make it down or are in the area go there!

San Francisco is stoked! Macho Taildrop is playing tonight at the classic Roxie Theater in the Mission district of the city. I did a little e-mail interview with one of the directors, Corey Adams for Fecal Face about the current state of the film’s distribution and when DVDs will be made and the new eS’ Manwolfe shoe.

Skipping out on duties of the day to skate and shoot photos with some of the Solitary Arts crew. More photos over on COLOR.

Brandon Westgate’s newest part just went up today. Holy pop! Another great job done by Jon Miner. The shoe is pretty good too.

It’s nothing new to say that skater’s have a strong creative streak as a whole. There are more than a few former and current pros who have careers in the visual arts. Tony Manfre is one of those who not only thinks outside of the box on his board but keep his brain active by documenting what interests him. In this COLOR feature Tony shares some of his photographic and film work. Also included is a short skate edit featuring Mr. Manfre.

In issue 8.5 of COLOR is an article called Jack of Two Trades the talks about the few media men that shoot photos and film the activity we love so much. Greg Hunt is one of those multi-skilled individuals that has made a lasting impact on how we view things. Maybe as a former pro he sees things differently? Who knows, but I for one hope he continues to do that amazing work he does.

Jason Lee and the Stereo crew hit up the amazing looking Stoner park in this long edit.
