Keep San Antonio Lamer

In a rather large town just north of San Antonio, D.I.Y. spots seem to flourish and last a lot longer than they do here in old San Antonio. I'm sure it has to do some what with the relaxed nature and youthfulness of that town, but it could be something in the water for all I know.

Every time a ledge is built, even in some God forsaken ditch in this city, it gets plummeted to death by a sledgehammer. A pretty sweet spot and mini D.I.Y. skatepark has become another victim from some land or business owner or some dude who just really, really dislikes skateboarding.

A big thanks to whoever built this sweet ledge:

As of today, it is no more:

Luckily, Erik Garcia had some last minute fun yesterday on a spot that will soon be doomed. Keep on truckin', San Antonio.

A Trip to Austin and the Internet

Monday was a pretty nice day out, so Brainold and I decided to head to Austin for some R&R, shredding , and to visit with some friends. We stopped by Mr. Sieben's Internet Shack to see what's going on in that neck of the woods. Unfortunately, our friends there were too busy to skate. Something about having to make money to feed their families or something along those lines. They're working on a Halloween episode and that should hopefully be up in the next week or so, unless Halloween gets delayed this year.

After the shack, Brain and I picked up our good friend Lester King for some shredding at the infamous Austin High Ditch. I really wish this spot was in San Antonio, although San Antonio has quite a few rad ditches.

Lester got down with some frontside rock n' roll slides or boardsliders or whatever you want to call it.

KROOK3D & Habitat Premieres this Weekend

Evolution Skateboards presents Krooked Skateboards' new video KROOK3D in 3D at 8:00pm this Friday, October 22nd. First 50 people through the door receive a complementary pair of 3D glasses for the premiere. There will also be raffle tickets for $1 for your chance to win a fresh Krooked deck.


This Saturday, we will also be showing the new (and from what we've heard) really rad new Habitat video at the shop. Premiere starts at 8:00pm and as with Friday's Krooked premiere, we will be raffling off a Habitat deck. Each ticket only costs a buck, so it doesn't hurt to try. You might be walking out of here with a solid pro board for only a dollar.

We're really amped on Autin Gillette and quite a few other dudes on the team. Habitat should be way above decent.

A Message from Flip

Thanks Mr. UPS Guy

New boards from such companies as Habitat, Toy Machine, Alien Workshop, and Element. These Toy Machine boards are at a cash saving forty bones.

And if anyone didn't already know, Appleyard is officially on Element. This has been a long time coming, seeing him skate heavily stickered Element boards while finishing out his Flip contract. Congrats to Appleyard and all those kiddos who love Element.
