So I edited this Hot Dogs & Hessians video yesterday, right? But me, being the dumbass amateur that I am, left out the big Arto "ender ender banger." On top of that nonsense, I couldn't even figure out how to edit it into the already-completed footy I posted. Oh well. Here it is, all by it's lonesome. Enjoi it.

Here is the footage from last Thursday's Hot Dogs & Hessians demo at Active in Costa Mesa. I got a fisheye lens so I'm stoked. Footy from the San Dimas and Fontana stops soon.

This is Sean Sheffey. I promise.
Was down at Active in Costa Mesa today with the etnies crew for the Hot Dogs and Hessians BBQ/Demo/gathering. You want names? Arto, Steamer, Leeper, Duncombe, Jake Brown, Weiss, Bickerstaff, Colamonico, Austin Stephens, Rob Gonzales, Montoya, Darrell, Watkins, Aultz, Guzman, Lauren Perkins and more. But most importantly...Sean Sheffey was there! Totally random. Totally rad. If you don't know about Sheffey, then you got some homework to do. Check out Life skateboard's A Soldier's Story one of these days. Your mind will be blown. There's two more days of this Hot Dogs and Hessians thing in SoCal, so stay tuned for lots of photos and a ton of video.

Ako stopped by Sole Tech today, and while trying to figure out who owned the Harley parked out in front of the building, I commented that soon the entire lot would be full of 'em. Ako's reply:
"Yeah, Harleys are the new Dunks, huh?"
I laughed all the way back to my desk. Classic.

Almost's new DVD, Cheese & Crackers was at my doorstep when I got home from work today thanks to a wonderful country girl named Whitney. Basically, you're gonna watch this video and not even believe what the hell you're seeing. Haslam...Blunt triple flip fakie? Ya, I'm serious.
Blink during this shit and you'll miss something amazing. In close to 15 years, when has Daewon ever disappointed you? When was the last good mini ramp footage you saw? Rowley and friends in...

I always found it kinda interestng that skateboard companies will generously toss the word "family" around and market a "family" vibe in their ads, websites, press releases, etc. in reference to their team/brand...and then kick people off. I didn't really think you could kick someone out of a "family," but okay, whatever.
And another good one is when a skateboarding company needs to remind you repeatedly about how "true" they have stayed to skateboarding or their...

Remember Chomp On This? That was pretty much the last time a skateboarding video truly made me happy. Baker 3, Hot Chocolate and Bag of Suck came pretty close, but nothing can really compare to Chomp. Shortly after the release of Chomp On This, there was a heartwrenching announcement that Chomp On Disc (DVD verision of Chomp) would never be released. I believe it had something to do with music rights and the legality of the Pac Man character being used,...

Obviously, I'm not the only one that knows Gino is the man. I'm gonna miss that dude. Penny and Guy were always insane, and I'm glad they came back, but for me, there was something about Gino that put them to shame and skateboarding won't be the same if I can't watch him doin' it.

For some reason, I have a few friends who have this obsession with Photoshopping me. Some are pretty funny and/or embarrassing. But I thought it would be fun to put 'em all in a gallery. So go laugh at me. Or maybe you'll even get inspired to make some on your own. This could get fun!
