I had lunch the other day with my hoomie Adrian Lopez and his wife.. If you don't know Adrian-- he helped me produced La Luz, and he also produced the ABC skate video.. Which was once a skate shop on Avenue A --- he was the original cat who help kick off the TF also know as Tompkins square park.. which has become a local meeting spot for skaters in NYC.. Es footwear also host their game of skate in this park as well.. There you have, your little history for the day.. We love Autumn but if any one deserve some credit it's him>> @ lest to a curtain extend..

Downtowns newest skate park..

This park in located way down on first Ave which is also know as Pike st, only when your down that far. It's right under the Manhattan bridge down by the east river.. I grew up two bloc's from this park - I so wish this was their when i was doing my thing.. O well I guess me and the rest of the city paved the the way for our younger generation.. Back in the day this park was just empty , with broken bottles bums etc.. just nothing and now take a look @ it..









New York New York


My boy, Buddy Nichols stopped by the show room the other day.. What's so funny is that, I ran into him before I left LA -- and here I am running into him again.. Buddy is currently working on a New York skate film.. He is also building out his office /studio / art gallery right on Fairfax just a few doors up from the diamonds store..

Girl Parts Ways with Jereme Rogers


You might have heard of this news elsewhere, but sources confirm that Jereme Rogers is no longer a member of the Girl camp.

From the management, “This week we made the decision to relieve Jereme Rogers of his duties at Girl Skateboards. We had a good run. Like one of those killer contest runs of his. Thanks for the good years. Best of luck.”
