Foundation Blog Minneapolis day 3

Image Description Here The view outside my hotel room was not looking very friendly. And I don't mean that because there was kids shouting "Top Shop" and lighting fireworks at odd hours of the night until police arrived. I meant it because it was snowing out, bro. Image Description Here I know theres kids in Antarctica or Alaska or some other cold place like the North Pole right now saying "those stupid Californians think that is snow, thats like a nice day here in _____(insert Antarctica, Alaska, or North Pole). But thats fine, I'm spoiled in San Diego I know. I don't even go outside my house if its cloudy out. Image Description Here You can barely even see those cars theres so much snow piled on them. Image Description Here That's our whip right there. Notice how I only shot the photo of like half the car well thats because I was just driving it and the snow came off the windows in the front. But I was trying to make this photo look epic and make you feel bad for us. Image Description Here We sat at the booth again and this time we came equipped with a tv and dvd player. It looked like we were playing the new Lurk Fest video from far away. Image Description Here But we were playing this work out video instead. It was left in the dvd player that the shop gave us so we just rolled with it. Now all these kids are going to have buns of steel. Sorry that was weird. Image Description Here I made everyone limbo for product today. Good idea huh. Image Description Here nice photo...or not. Image Description Here dont know what to say dont know what to say dont know what to say. Image Description Here This is awkward looking. And I apologize. Image Description Here dont know what to say dont know what to say dont know what to say. Image Description Here This dude is seriously being serious about this. bro. Image Description Here When I was walking around I checked out the Osiris booth and noticed they have a couple Foundation shoes on Display. What do you think? Image Description Here David tried to take some peoples money in dice. Image Description Here Then we all went to the boss mans Hotel to meet up for some dinner. Image Description Here They got good blogging materials at there hotel in downtown Minneapolis. We took advantage. Image Description Here Below are the photos I got when I said "quick guys look cool". Image Description Here I give you weird photo number 1. Image Description Here Followed by way weirdest photo number 2. What a clever bunch of fellas. Image Description Here After dinner with the boss man we decided to all head back to the park for the launch ramp contest they were hosting. Image Description Here As you can see I put a ton of effort into both of these last photos. Shot from my digi cam on top of a ramp a million miles away from all the action. Oh well. One more day in Minneapolis...

Toy Machine It's Tuff Being Famous: Toy in Chile Update

Image Description Here Johnny was big-time in Santiago. He was signing stuff and even made a TV appearance. Image Description Here The local news channel covered the event. Image Description Here Diego was interviewed as well, telling the Chilean people to buy Toy Machine or get butchered. Image Description Here The Butcher's knee is looking gnarly. Image Description Here The crowd was massive and started chanting 'do hammers!' at us. Apparently, they were more happy just watching their local heroes skate. We didn't even need to come! Kevin put it this way: 'With only three riders and in the midst of a local contest, the dudes did what they could among an expansive and jeering crowd. Diego was on the news and Johnny signed for days before injuries jinxed us.' Our driver likes to watch TV while on the road. Hopefully he runs over one of these street performers. After some hiccups with rider arrivals we're off to Valparaiso today. There are many more photos to see from the trip on BURNOUT!!!

Toy Machine Diego sends an update from Chile!

Image Description Here He didn't send any text, just photos, so I'm gonna have to take a guess as to how things are going: Johnny was walking by a group of hot young models doing a photoshoot in the street when one of them recognized him and freaked out. She ran from her shoot over to Johnny and started hugging him and kissing him. Since she was dressed for some 'sexy schoolgirl' shoot, her skirt was hella short, and johnny was getting a boner. Then she handed a camera to Nick and asked him to shoot a picture of them together. Johnny was pretty embarrassed about the boner and was hunching over to minimize it. Nick said 'Stand up straight dude!' and everyone was looking now. He stood up and all the people around started to laugh like crazy because you could clearly see J-Lay's raw boner through his pants. Nick is telling that story to Kevin in this photo. ---------------------Billy is here, but flies in tomorrow. Image Description Here Diego shoots johnny while reflecting about the days activities. Then they went to get coffee, and fuck, for all I know they are in LA chillin. How do I know they are in Santiago, Chile if they go to Starbucks?

Toy Machine Planes, Trains, Automobiles...

Image Description Here A good portion of The Team is off to South America today. Land of cocaine unbridled, wait, that all gets shipped up here... I wonder what their chances of dying are down there? Johnny Layton doesn't think about such things. He is concerned with one thing only, and we all know what that is: Shredding. Josh and Matt B. stayed back to keep filming for the Fallen Video. I hope they send me photos to update their trip!

Foundation Blog Vegas day 6

Image Description Here We had a little shindig with Pharmacy planned at 5pm. Ragdoll made it out. Image Description Here You would think the green shirt that Gareth is wearing would symbolize all the money he has won so far in Vegas. Well lets just say thats not the case here. Whatever the color of being down a couple hundred is he should be wearing. Image Description Here We all loaded into our vehicles and drove to the skate spot that we would be judging a contest at. Some chose cars others chose motorcycles. Image Description Here We were rolling deep. Image Description Here The spot was like this slab of concrete with homemade obstacles. Image Description Here We held a best trick contest on the handrail. Image Description Here Image Description Here Bart watch out theres a lifted truck about to run your ass over. Image Description Here Matt Ball showed up. Image Description Here David and Alex helped judge the contest. Image Description Here This kid is the winner. I forget your name but I don't forget the switch heelflip bluntslide you did down the rail. After the contest we decided to hit the streets again to skate. Little did we know we would run into a little problem. Image Description Here But with our quick instincts a bad situation turned good real quick. Heres the story. So we went to look at a rail. Security drove up so without even questioning it we just got in our cars and tried to leave. We weren't even skating the rail. Just looking. Anyways the security guard took all our plates down and tried to somewhat block us in. We broke free and just left peacefully. Little did we know we were being followed by him. Little did he know he picked a van full of dance party music listening kids to mess with. Image Description Here So we did the smart thing and kept driving. Then stopping. Then driving. Then stopping. Seeing how far we could push him. We would just drive in circles around a median in the road, he followed. It was 3am in a residential area so no one was out but us. Then we did the smart thing and flipped the script on him. We blocked the security guard in on the main street so he couldn't leave. And then got out and talked to him. He immediately said he would go about his way. See with some quick thinking like us you can get yourself out of any situation. Goodnight.

Image Description Here Billy's girlfriend was busy taking care of the dog, McLovin. On the scene of skateboard commerce, the marketplace of looking like one person and doing another. I'm not a real skater, I just play one on TH3...

Toy Machine A photo tribute to Active Erica...

Image Description Here It came to my attention that many Toy Machine website Lurkers were posting comments about Active Erica. For Example: 'We wanne see her naked' or 'We think she is hot' so I went out of my way to bring you little horn-dogs what you want. You wanna see that one Closer? Image Description Here My first thought was to try to get a secret behind the scenes photo shoot going... Image Description Here But then I realized that would probably be inappropriate, so I resigned to getting these photos. Image Description Here Image Description Here Image Description Here Image Description Here Getting Erica on the Table wasn't easy. I had to demonstrate exactly what I wanted (for you, my Loyal Pawns.)

Toy Machine Tribute to our LOYAL PAWNS...

Image Description Here Our signing and premier at Active in Rancho Cucamonga brought out a plethora of Loyal Pawns. Image Description Here I want to thank all these Toy Pawns for coming out to show their support of the Bloodsucking Skateboard Company. Image Description Here Kids from far and wide made the pilgrimage to see their overlords, (us) and to seek advice on how to conduct their lives. Image Description Here As you can see, I told them that buying a Toy Machine board is a step in the right direction. This one was Packin' Red-Bull after too many Life of Ryan episodes... (or was he trying to inflate his package area to impress Active Erica?) Image Description Here All Pawns were very happy to be seeing the Lurk-Fest video and to shake hands with their favorite Toy Machine representative, including the creator of the videos, Kevin Barnett. Image Description Here Johnny Layton was there in a surprise appearance, (we thought he was gonna be in Brazil!) making the entire team present except for Diego the Butcher, who we think is in Spain. Image Description Here Overall, the signing went great, even the flow-rider minions got in on the action. I have plenty more photos to post tomorrow. Thanks Active! Thanks Erica!, and Thanks Loyal Toy Fans!
