It’s been a long time coming but version 2.something of The Rebel Sciences lives! Click the pic to peep the site…

Tony Man-beast, one of the SLAP generation of skaters. Multi-skilled on all terrain but also in his life. Super 8 lover, maker of beats and practitioner of mixology (SLAP interview/feature). Tony’s interests are audio, visual and found on four wheels. Last month I met up with Tony and we filmed this edit for Hi-Fi wheels in one day. I always knew he was able to get shit done but this day he was on it. Just wish I was a better filmer to do his skating justice.

If you’re in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 17th, be sure to head over to Pico Boulevard for El Mercado’s Spring Fling. A perfect afterparty to this: http://clubmumble.com/2010/04/14/come-to-make-a-wish-benefit-at-hollenbeck-park/

What are you going to do this Saturday? Nothing but this: get in your busted-ass vehicle, drive to the Hollenbeck park in Los Angeles, enjoy a day of hanging with your favorite brands, and watch the Make-A-Wish Skate Jam & Best Trick Contest. Be sure to stop by the Broadcast booth and use the keyword “hello” to receive a cool high-five. Special thanks to everyone at Skateboarder Magazine for helping to put this event together, because a good cause combined with skating is always awesome. Proceeds to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

This Friday, April 2nd is the opening party for a new art show featuring the work of Gareth Stehr. Behold The Black Light will be somewhat of an antiexhibit backed by the zounds of Green & Wood and others. Regardless of your affinity for stoner doom rock, you’ll want to attend.

Joey Adamczyk is a dude with a nearly impossible-to-pronounce last name that somehow looks completely comfortable doing tricks that are nearly impossible-to-land.  Broadcast Yo Self is the moving-picture catalyst by which Broadcast allegorically opens its doors to the public and allows shredders from around the world the chance to be featured on the website. Each month we will sift through our submissions (to submit, simply send us your YouTube or Vimeo link on this page) and we’ll choose one unlucky brute to partake in the awesomeness that will be known throughout cyber eternity as Broadcast YoSelf. It’s certainly not going to make anybody famous, but we want the 2 or 3 people that check our website each month to enjoy some fresh content. In addition to the dishonor of appearing on thisisabroadcast.com, the winning skater each month will receive a Broadcast T-shirt. You can check out last months weiner here: http://broadcastwheels.com/2010/398/broadcast-yo-self-brian-kubis-january/

Over the weekend I was able to get over to S.F., shoot some photos and run around the balcony of a hotel 25 floors up to avoid getting pinched by security.

Here is the first look at the new product offering from Broadcast. The 2010 catalog consists of a range of premium American urethane wheels and a small line of basic skate apparel. I must divulge that the wheels are mighty perfect: everyone has been approving them as the best wheels they’ve ever skated. Straight from the horses mouth.

Special thanks to all those who have been involved in the launch of this brand: Jon Dragonette Photography, French, Jarrod Bryan Design, Dustin Desmarais Design, Distrikt Collective, Prestige, SCS, Eric Wall, Geoff Scofield, team riders Paul Shier, Ethan Fowler, Gareth Stehr, Kevin Coakley, Joel Meinholz, Patrick Melcher, Danny Falla, Aaron Harrison, Shiloh Greathouse, Eric Gilbert, Connor Getzlaff, the Boise and San Clemente Crews and anyone else we forgot.

Every now and then an oddly shaped box shows up at the door and we immediately know that it is something special. My good friend Yong-Ki from Solitary Arts sent me this skateboarding history gem, and I am waaay grateful for it because it is a deadstock resurrection of my very first Free Former skateboard that was the catalyst in teaching me the ways of the skate. It’s pretty awesome to ride on one of these again- and I was surprised by the reminder that skate technology has come a very long way. Thanks again Yong-Ki!
