KOTR put young Kevin in the hospital!!!

The Miami heat mixed with a pesky mosquito, did strange things to his skin. Suffer the Joy of being hospitalized and getting out of your job updating this website, making Ed do it.

CATTYWHOMPUS

For your viewing pleasure... images from a nice art show in Encinitas CA last weekend entitled "Cattywhompus" .It featured art works by Peter McBride and CHIVO. I know cuz I was totally there.

It was poor old Austin Stephens...

And this happened in the same slam...

J-Lay needs to visit a dentist

In Florida, you can buy taxidermy style alligator parts in any gas station...

Matt B on day 2 of Swayze's workweek

We ate at a nice restaurant and he didn't even get kicked out!

Guess who chipped his tooth...

On the KOTR journey.

What do we think?

Is there little indication?

The sky opened up and God said...

And so we listened.

Sometimes you win, and...

Sometimes you get your ass kicked. (or perhaps double-fisted) Suffer the Joy of having a great time losing... We were up against some gnarly skaters! We thought we had it, but it turns out, we didn't. This is Jamie Thomas twisting Billy's arm when Billy tried to sticker the Zero van. Wait for the KOTR video!

Miami seems so long ago...

The KOTR is almost over, and the gnar-boots have to be put on for these next few days... Suffer the Joy of dressing 'Miami' and hitting the clubs...

We Slayed Miami, now the rest of USA...

Thanks to Mike and Bill, and Matt from the MIA park...

GONZ Sighting!

We are sitting in our tour van at a red light in a random intersection of New York City. Diego sees a dude on a bike do a super high bunny hop and says, "whoa! Did you see that?" Then the dude circles around and does this epic wall ride on his bike. Matt Bennett is shooting a photo of him. Then I realize, That is the fucking Gonz!!!!!

Nothing to say but...

Templeton's Quiet Moment

Ed looks out, eager to take on what lies ahead but somewhat unwilling to let go of the past. It rolls on no matter what you want. "Suffer The Joy" of having a fruitful future in the form of multiple choice.

Car Lurkage, after a RVCA party...

I overheard a person saying, "the sluts always come to the RVCA parties!"

180 degrees of seperation

Our Filmer Kevin relaxes...

...On the cushiony bosom of no recent melt-downs. But he has many to look forward to on King of the Road! Suffer the Joy of going 'mini-Hiroshima' inside your brain.

Adam Crew And Mike Rusczyk will be at...

Matt B. In The Wild

This elusive creature was sighted in his natural habitat, scurrying about, preparing for shreddage. We're lucky to have gotten as close as we did. "Suffer The Joy" of killing Whitey.

Don't get Austin angry...

You wouldn't like him when he's angry...

Another old skate vid to watch in your free time

Ed Templeton and Mike Vallely in New Deal's 1281. came out in 1991... That is my kitty Ptah in there! He's still with us!

Grif Says...

"Heh?"

Toy Machine Presents The Billy Marks Starter Kit!

Get your's today! "Suffer The Joy" of getting 9th in a sea of the elite.

411vm 14.3 The Yeto issue???

The new 411 showed up at are office on friday. And from the looks of it, we did a damn good job of filling the video with are riders. Appearing on the cover is the one, the only Jason Adams! From there you will notice a Dekline like chaos, a Duffs montage filled with all your favorite Pig Wheels riders, and a ending part from new Foundation pro Don Nguyen.

Johnny and Billy are in the X-Games!!!

Is this good or bad? I can't remember. But I hope they do well. Billy can win it if he stays on! and Johnny got a special invite, so he is the wild-card! Maybe he will take it!! WISH THEM GOOD LUCK!

We take a pause from the 'Grif thread' to...

...Continue lurking on people. These girls were trying to scare their friend who was coming out of that door. But when he saw me shooting them, I exposed their hiding place, becoming a "blow it guy." I am always perving out at the wrong time. Is there ever a right time?

Back To The Banks

Just talked to Matt Allen and looks like he's taking a trip to the banks with Emerica. When you see him ask him how high he can ollie, it will be funny.

Back to the Banks is a grassroots skate contest held at the internationally famous Brooklyn Banks in New York City. Now in its second year, this annual event encourages skaters everywhere to work with their local city governments to preserve established "natural" skate spots in public spaces. Date: Saturday, August 19, 2006 at 1:00 p.m. Location: Under the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan, New York. Format: One jam and three best trick sections on the banks, the blocks and the stairs / rail.

Grif Sighting

In case you didn't know, Griffin is very sophisticated.

Mo-Hiney Days

Josh swelled with admiration at the sight of the Emerica team's bikes last Saturday. He paced back and forth inspecting without touching, engrossed in the clutter of steel and rubber. You could almost see the thoughts of riding lifting out of his head. "Suffer The Joy" of two years of bliss.

Spying on people in the streets...

Foundation News...

Team Happenings

Corey Duffel is a busy man. After already logging China, Europe, and Colorado in the past couple of months he is now appearing in Houston, TX with Gareth and the Nuge for demos and autograph signings. Pipeline and Stoked skate shop are hosting on the 5th and 6th of August.

Don Nguyen cannot be stopped. Just joining the Foundation team recently he has proven himself to be very worthy. A skateboarder magazine online interview, a 411vm 14-3 part, and a 6-page Skateboarder #30 article all in the past month! Be on the look out for this guys first ever Foundation Pro Model and Pig Wheel.

Gareth Stehr is going on a sober rampage. Not allowing himself to drink until the video drops. This means very productive skateboarding from this man.

Mike Rusczyk has joined fellow Pig Wheel rider Adam Crew up in Seattle, WA for a top secret filming mission to log as much footage possible for the Foundation video.

Ethan Fowler is a writer! After recently being in Europe with the rest of the guys for a tour of Foundation demos Ethan found himself behind the typewriter. Completing a tour article of the trip for the newest Skateboard Mag September #30.

Matt Allen has been getting good at writing his own name. Being taken all over the US with Emerica, Matt has been flocked upon by kids wanting his name written on anything and everything. With demos and signings Im wondering how this kid logged so much footage already for the new video.

Angel Ramirez is finally home. After being sent to crazy places with Vans he is now comfortably back home filming in Colorado with the homies. Im sure youve seen all his coverage. You cant really miss it. Its in every magazine

Tommy Gurrola Recently had a photo of a monster kick flip in the Thrasher Photo Issue. His part in the new Foundation video will surely not disappoint.

An old photo of Austin...

Getting some snacks in Tampa, Florida, where the cops lurk hard. Suffer the Joy of everyone pronouncing your name wrong! (Stephens looks like it would sound like "STEFENS" but in fact is pronounced "STEVENS")
