The Emerica crew has also informed us that the Emerica Get In The Van Man tour will be this Wednesday night instead of this Thursday as planned. Hopefully this doesn’t mess with anyone’s schedules, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Either way, we have beautiful weather for two demos two days in a row. What a great way to start the summer! See you there!

There’s a short documentary about skateboarding up on You Tube. It’s a pretty good little clip, and definitely worth checking out.

Thanks to SkateDaily for the link.

For those of you who actually give a shit about any of us that work at the shop (we hope you do!), today is the birthday of Mr. Personality himself, Dillon Olafson (aka Smarty McFlurry). Lock down your daughters, as this man has an all access pass to anywhere your loved ones are, as he is officially 19 years of age…

It's Time.

The fine folks at Circa Footwear have put out a full length video title “It’s Time.” The best thing about this video (aside from the skating) is the fact that it’s FREE with any Circa purchase! Hopefully more companies follow suit with this sort of thing…
