More SKULLS!!!!

uptown — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 20:26:53 +0000

Yeah we’ve been blowing it on posting up new stuff. It’s been busy, blah blah blah. Well we’re fully stocked on cruiser, long, short, hover, etc boards, and everything needed to roll around on a piece of wood. Or Bamboo!
Instead of showing you pictures of all that stuff, I’m going to show you my new board. It’s a limited Michael Sieben Creature deck, called More Skulls. I wasn’t too psyched on the pointy nose, and I didn’t have a jig saw here today, so I got crafty.

Tool of necessity, the “Olfa” knife.

Cut through as many layers as I could, then

Got a little more barbaric than crafty, and snapped that sucker off.

Jessup sand paper

Little bit of clear coat to finish it off nice, and

Voila!

Some old-ish Indys, and the Neil Blender OJs suit it really well. Dale and Greg have been ripping these, so we’ll see.

MORE SKULLS!!!!

BIG DUMP!!!

No, this isn’t a photo text from your least favourite BBM buddy, so you’re welcome.

My driveway at 7am!

We just got a crapload of snow, and it’s going to make for some serious shredding, and there’s lots of season left. Good thing all the snow gear is now 25% OFF!

Hit up Martock after the roads get clear, it should be amazing! Or even Citadel Hill or the skatepark. See you on the slopes!

Prevent This Tragedy

Well winter is back, but next week at Uptown, Wednesday at 7ish, we’re gonna play the CONS/Thrasher flick, Prevent This Tragedy.

February, winter, skate vid, let’s have some fun hanging out, hi-fiving, and wishing we were shralping, like the good old days of late January.

Have a very very very Black Christmas.

WeSC, Saucy sounds for your ears

Some weird pictures, of really good headphones. I don’t really know much about driver size and decibels and noise cancellation, but to me, these sound really good. They’re really comfortable, and they come in some pretty regular solid colours. (Thanks Sauce!)

I went to Cuba about 10 years ago and brought back some maracas just like these for souvenirs,

These headphones are also called the Maraca. True story.

Snow gear like whoa!

uptown — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:25:38 +0000

It snowed once, and it will again. We’re getting lucky with a couple weeks of sunny warm weather so we can still skate, but winter is definitely coming. So get your shite together, you need a new something or other!

Here’s a quick overview of a bunch of the gear we have in.

Snowboards from Salomon, Rome, TechNine, Capita, DC, Forum, Ride, and Burton.

And bindings from most of the same brands, as well as Union.

Boots from Burton, Bonfire (yes, Bonfire!), 32, DC, and Rome.

Analog jackets,

and pants,

And loads of jackets from Burton, Bonfire, Special Blend, Foursquare, Nomis, TechNine, 32, Holden, and DC.

Bling, Bling we’ve got the Crystals in!

progirl — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:20:27 +0000

In honor of the holiday season, we just received some NEW Nixon watches!

For Holiday 09 Nixon decided to make the usual arm candy a tad bit more brilliant. They have selected a few of the most popular watches, and added lots and lots of real Swarovski crystals and mother of pearl for some beautifully elegant additions to the line.

But if you’re not into bling, we’ve got some that are a little more low-key, but still fun to look at! The case is very full, so hurry in and get your first pick.

Christmas is coming faster then we like to admit… make sure you get that perfect gift!
