A few months back I got a call from the guys at Plan B, wanting a mini-series for the team based on my “Ice & Snow” Viking. 4 boards, one each for Ryan Sheckler, PJ Ladd, Torey Pudwill and Paul Rodriguez. Check after the jump for the story & larger / more detailed images with the glow in the dark hit exposed.
Here it is again, painted with “new” skaters in it. If you missed it the first time, check it out here.
For anyone who hasn’t bolted out of the office yet, got a good one for your Friday with Steve Cabellero, Omar Hassan & Lizzie Armanto skating pools at night. I met Cab once, super nice guy. It’s no wonder why he’s so well respected & liked in the sport. Throw Miller in the mix & you pretty much have the Pool Dream Team. Interesting video. A bit more after the jump

Worked with both Grant & Chris a few times in my career. They’re both amazingly nice with unbelievable talent & knowledge stored up that they’re not afraid to share. Two of the coolest guys out there in all reality. Anyways, enough of the love-fest. This shot is amazing & hearing the story of it is awesome, seeing the little bit of footage of Chris at Upland is just a bonus.
Thanks Skateboard Mag
Back to the hustle after the long weekend but we do have this pretty cool video we saw over on AWSM, D*Face made a spray paint rig for skateboards. Add that with some legendary pool skaters, a freshly painted pool & watch the fun ensue.

Not only is today the day that every store in Barcelona is closed (don’t plan on buying stuff to bring home that day, we learned the hard way), it’s also Go Skateboarding Day! Even if you only get out & push around for a couple minutes once a year, this is the day to do it. Legendary artist (& super cool guy) Jim Phillips did the poster, kinda of reason enough in my book. Go Skateboarding Day
Pretty amazing work by Ty Evans & Bob Burnquist for Nestle’s Aero candy bar. Check after the jump for a link to the high quality spot or a lower quality youtube embed.
Pretty cool deal for the skateboarding / graffiti art world up in LA this week. MOCA LA is showing Art in the Streets, which features artwork from numerous big names in the skate / street art scene including Kieth Haring, Mister Cartoon, Lance Mountain, Basquiat, Ed Templeton, Twist, Amaze and others. Also included are an informative timeline of the history of Dogtown & CR Stecyk.
Transworld Skateboarding has a little write up on opening night as does HybeBeast. Pretty cool deal, we’ll be checking it out in early May for sure.
Also at the event, Nike SB partnered with MOCA to create a skate-able art installation created by Lance Mountain & Geoff McFetridge. They’ve also got some limited edition t shirts by Lance Mountain, CR Stecyk III, Neckface & Futura (which are probably already sold out & on ebay for $500 a pop). Anyways, it looks pretty cool, too. Check it out
Pretty interesting Behind the Scenes look @ the making of the DC commercials. Pretty sure Chris Cole is the next wave of video games, in that he’s a living video game character.
Thanks AWSM
Hubba Hideout, a piece of SF’s legendary skateboarding puzzle is done. Sure am glad the nefarious characters who congregate around in the area will be left alone now that there’s not skaters to scare them off. Read about it Here. Sad to know that another legendary skate spot is gone, kids can’t make a pilgrimage there to see how absurdly large the ledges their parks got the name “hubba” from are.
