Three New Larry Perkins Calls!
Posted by Mark - 12 Feb, 2010Larry Perkins apparently has been making a push to get back on his game lately, and he's been trying to get a boutique going, trying to get some new kicks from Nike via Theotis, and he's even reaching for the stars looking for a job at the KFC. Word on the street is that Nike's been paying attention. The only question is, when will we finally see him skate? Tampa boys have been holding out for a Tampa Pro appearance, but I'll believe it when I see it. Check the links to all three calls here.

Larry Perkins and Theotis Beasley
Larry trying to come up on Theotis, and it's almost criminal how nice Theotis is, talking to a guy he obviously doesn't know...

Larry Perkins and the KFC
Tough times, tougher measures -- Larry resorts to having to work, or at least try to work, at the KFC on Elvis Presley Blvd. Nice to hear that Larry's back!

Sean Malto's Shoe Release Party
Posted by Mark - 22 Jan, 2010Sean Malto's first shoe comes out this season, and last night at Tenno Sushi in Los Angeles' Little Tokyo was the release party. Malto loves sushi, so that was the theme, and most of the crowd was decked out in one of Malto's favorite 4Star shirt and red and blue beanie. The all-stars in attendance were the crowd you'd expect, from Girl, etnies, 4 Star, Escapist in Kansas City, and the folks from Transworld all came up as well.
Santa and Boards For Bros
Posted by Mark - 20 Jan, 2010I'm proud to have been a small part of Boards for Bros this past year, donating a whole bunch of super old TumYeto wheels and some old trucks. There are a ton of great causes within skateboarding that help people, and this is one of my favorites.
John Motta Double Lipslide
Posted by Mark - 16 Jan, 2010This is one of the best things I've seen in a long time... I love skaters who look at spots like this and see totally random, different opportunities than most. John Motta. From the Skate Mental site.
Mike Vallely and the Drunk Hockey Moron
Posted by Mark - 7 Jan, 2010My post a while back about Mike V's most recent fight was a change in tone compared to past things I've written about Mike, although my continuing interest in the man hasn't change at all. I find him such an interesting and compelling character. And again, like I said in that post, I think he did the right thing on this one. But I'm just another annoying blogger... and here it is from the man himself:
