Last week we cruised down to Simi Valley and met up with our boy Mike Mo Capaldi to hang for a day and shoot a video showcasing his upcoming signature collection. What followed, was a day full of laughs, excitement and practical jokes in typical Mike Mo fashion...and we honestly couldn't have had more fun! Check out some of the moments below, but, for the full version you're just gonna have to wait a couple months!

Of course we had to give Locksley the proper goodbye...

Straight to Tico's Tacos, Mo's favorite Simi Valley eatery!

How rad is this custom autographed deck on the walls too?

Mo's trunk was just oozing with style.

Mo has some serious speed and moves on the court, we were thoroughly impressed with his basketball abilities. Continue reading →

With our boy MikeMo on his #BatmanEverything kick lately its only fitting that he showed up at the Berrics last Friday to nail a "First Try Frightday" dressed as his heros main nemesis, The Joker! You gotta check this one out...and Mo...you did one heck of a job on the getup...we're throughly impressed! Happy Halloween peeps!!!

MikeMo as The Joker!

Getting ready to do work...

This past weekend Converse invaded New York City and hit Chelsea Piers for City Carnage. Two days of madness that included a best trick contest at the Chelsea Bowl followed by a free concert on Saturday evening featuring opening acts Black Bananas and Converse Rubber Tracks recording artist Viva Viva, while The Kills capped the 2-day event with a stellar one-hour performance.

Kenny Anderson was all smiles while The Kills played.

Photographer Craig Wetherby and Eli Reed were in the mix.

The park is packed on a perfect NYC Summer afternoon. For some pics of the skating hit the click. Continue reading →

Last weekend we jetted up to Glendale, Arizona for the third and final stop of Street League before the Championships go down in New Jersey next month. As always we had an absolute blast but were a little bummed our boy MikeMo Capaldi didn't advance as far as we all know he is capable of. Anyways, no matter what, Street League is always a good time and we had fun hanging with friends and enjoying the summer heat. Peep our exclusive video and photos below.

The Course was looking solid. That ledge was no joke. Continue reading →

Last Thursday we went down to Venice Beach to check out a new short film, Team Average, made by our good friends and one of our favorite mags Monster Children. Always one to put on a good party this night was no different, and the location (Dues Ex Machina) tickled the fancy of just about everybody in attendance. The actual film itself was as classic as it gets-pairing a small crew of today's top surfers with an equal amount of talented skaters. We highly recommend picking up the new issue #35 of Monster Children and checking out Team Average the first chance you get. In the meantime hopefully our photos will tithe you over.

Last week/end we cruised out to California's inland empire-Ontario to be exact to hang at Stop 2 of the Street League Skateboarding series. With 23 of the top pros within the sport of skateboarding, as one could expect the action was through the roof. Of course we were out there to hang with our boy Mike Mo, but honestly we truly enjoyed watching everybody skate and at the end of the day we could care less who won or loss. However, for those of you out there who do care about such thing you will be relieved to know that Mr. Nyjah Huston took home his second win in a row, edging out the rest of the field with a whopping 9.8 in his scoreline-a pretty gnarly and unheard of feat in Street League. Check out some of our photos below and for anything else you want to know about this insane contest check out our friends at Street League.
