Finally! If you don't already have it, or didn't get it from Fun Not Fame, you can now get No Comply: Skateboarding Speaks on Authority from Amazon or Barnes and Noble online. I had a few chapters in this one

How hot is that armpit sweat puddle?
Obviously I'm a product of Big Brother magazine...Not embarrassed to admit it either. Besides, its been a while since I've interacted with some porno stars!
Got word of this release party for Skater Girl Fever and just couldn't pass up the opportunity to go to a porno suarè. Headed to Beauty Bar in LA, only to be slightly dissapointed by the fact that I didn't see any nudity, all the girls from the movie (actually, I only recognized two of them from all the promo photos I've seen, so let's just say "all the girls I saw") looked about 15 (I think this is probably how old porn people want their girls to look these days) and were not as cute as they are here, and there were lots of dudes lookin' hip as hell. Many of them with glasses not unlike this dude. Why are so many porno industry dudes nearly blind?

Skateboarders do something that reminds me how proud I am to be a skateboarder. Found it on SkateDaily.

Yeah dude! My harsh filming and video editing skills have elevated me to Podcaster status for etnies! Anyway, so far I've put together two videos from the etnies/Active Hot Dogs & Hessians tour, with one more on the way. Subscribe to them if you want, this way they show up in your iTunes as soon as I upload them to etnies.com. Or just watch 'em here, like weeks later. Once I get around to it, I'll be Podcasting all the videos I put up here as well, which goes beyond the realm of just etnies of course. Just...

The elusive Danny Garcia surfaced!
Stopped by the DVS/Matix demo at Active Mission Viejo today. Daewon, Mikey Taylor, Steve Berra, Torey Pudwill, Jeron Wilson, Daniel Castillo, Richard Mulder, Danny Garcia, Marty Murawski, Stacey Lowery, Mike Santarossa and a few others were in the house skating a pretty sweet lookin' mini ramp and some flatground/ledge/manny too. It was a pretty fun scene.

"Oh you have adult braces? That's cool."
-Reese Forbes to a Swedish Quik employee upon seeing her smile at the Quiksilver Hosoi premiere. Sorry, didn't get a photo of Reese to go with this quote. enjoi the stock one I found on Google.

Tim and Omar!
Went to this thing on a whim...wasn't really planning to attend. Surprising amounts of VIPs in the house! You know, Perry Farrell, Daryll Hannah, dudes from Incubus...blah blah blah. I was never a Hosoi fan as a kid. He was kinda right before my time. But what I saw of the movie was pretty good. I left for a bit to go get a sandwich right when the meth smoking part came on. Can't wait to see the rest. For real, I didn't expect it, but I was intrigued. Upon returning to the party after eating, I heard Christian on the mic talking about God for like 15 minutes. Not my cup of green tea, but whatever. Y'all should be checkin' this flick out.
Leeper and the Hosoimobile!

Wallet for scaling purposes only
As usual, was skating at the Lake Forest Skatepark the other night. Boy are there some total douchebags that work there. This one new dude used to be a marine and he's a total raw jock, yellin' at kids and shit, skating around with no pads and completely ignoring the weak-ass "no photos or filming" rule, even though us etnies employees try to show up and do our job and get some coverage for the park at demos and contests, but get denied. The dude will likely be shitcanned soon if he keeps it up. Rad.

So here's the entire Jon Goemann interview...unedited and quite a bit longer than what came out in The Skateboard Mag this month. Right after I did this interview I saw Jon skating at the etnies Skatepark. It was rad to meet him so shortly after talking to him on the phone and he is one stylish motherfucker on a skateboard.
