Lurking with a Chalice.

Posted by admin On November - 29 - 2008


Fancy a pint down the local? I do…especially at my local skate shop. Pro Skates beer glasses or blood chalices are now here. Just in time for the birth of Santa. We didn’t have any beer left (Nacho?)So we used virgins blood. Enjoy.

I bought these 2 gems from a Hare Krsna today. He was in regular clothes, so I didn’t have any idea, but as soon as he walked in the store I could tell he was selling something. He said he had no scams, not even any prices, he just accepted donations. Well what I offered apparently wasn’t enough of a “donation”, so we haggled. He said people gave anywhere from 8-20 bucks for each, so I offered him 10 bucks but I wanted three. We settled at 9 bucks for two. He insisted the wholesale cost was 3 bucks, but if he paid any more than 25 cents for them, well, he must be, uhh, crazy. But then again, I paid $4.50 each. Oh well, he’s a traveling spirit. I like to help.
Most of them were pretty cheeseball, but some (like these) were amazing.

You have to see them in person for all the colours man.
This one is potential album cover art for Full Grip.

He pulled out this pamphlet, and wanted to talk me through it. I convinced him to just leave it with me.

It looks like everyone’s having fun anyway.


More fun,
Don’t know about this guy though.
Here’s the dude on the cover, kickin out the jams,

Yeah, I know, random post. Whatever floats your boat.

Uptown Shred Sesh

Posted by admin On November - 24 - 2008

We got about a foot of snow Friday night, so skate season is pretty much dunski. (til the next thaw anyway, and if you have an indoor spot, let us know!)
While I was getting ready to go for a shred with Jermaine after work, Dave decided he was gonna mess around on the ramp in front of the store.
The weapons of choice, a 5 year old Dominant, or a Blind skate deck. Dave chose the Blind.
Donning his Vans jacket with the Maiden backpatch, and check the “boots”.
Es Theorys, with plastic bags.

Shaping…
Getting psyched…
Bomb dropping!
The make! Just to stay standing on a pump to fakie was a trick. Meanwhile, I was doing airs, inverts, and laybacks but Dave was too selfish to take pictures. (Just kidding, none of that happened, yes it did. No it didn’t)
Serious cliff drop…

More Little Ruler stuff

Posted by admin On November - 22 - 2008

Do you have a baby? Are you considering a child? Maybe you made one by accident, and you’d like to put a million miles between you and your baby mama. Well before you head for the hills you might want to take a look at how cool you can dress that little bundle of poo and noise. We just got a new shipment of Little Ruler gear in, just in time for Festivus. Awesome gifts.
Here’s an Indy onesie. We have lots of other sizes and styles of indy ones, and some Thrasher tees and onesies too.

This little coach jacket is so awesome.

Little Indy meshers and beanies, so adorable!!!

And if all that stuff isn’t enough, little Chucks!

Here’s a crappy picture (she wouldn’t pose) of Ella helping me price and arrange all the new stuff. Looks awesome on boys and girls!

Daydreamer….

Posted by admin On November - 19 - 2008

Its really gross out today. The wind is blowing, its raining sideways, and the amount of daylight outside would make you think its supper time but in fact it’s only one in the afternoon. Its a dreary day to say the least.

Coffee in hand, we decided to pick our spirits up by surfing the inter-web for some epic snowboarding footage. I hope what we found will help to put a smile on your face as you look outside and daydream of big fluffy snowflakes replacing those rain drops that are the size of golf balls.

Pro snowboarder Victoria Jealouse teams up with Lisa Barnstone in this stop motion animated short from 2000.

Elena Hight has been newly added to the Volcom Team roster. Check her out back when she used to ride for the other guys…

Janna Meyen has been riding for longer that most boys have been alive. Heres a peak at a day in the life.

Nicola Thost is one of the good ol’ gals I looked up to when I first started riding. She has since retired her professional status but I managed to dig up some recent footage of her still ripping up the hill like it was yesterday.

An amazing snowboarder and a down to earth girl, Kelly Clark is the all round deal.

Gotta support the Arts!

Alright, back to reality! Have a good day.
Love your
Pro girls.
