  • A Front Rock and Four Books

    Our friends up at 35th North in Seattle partnered with their local baseball team as well as the ever-awesome Skate Like a Girl and Nike SB. The result was this ramp plus in-stadium skate lessons for kiddos.

    With that, here are four books with great potential to expand your worldview.

    Book One:

    What Happened to You? by Dr Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D and Oprah Winfrey (more…)

  • Fixer Skateboard Co. : Where’s Georgie?

    An underground team of Pacific Northwest skate fugitives search for their friend George.

    Featuring: Timothy Coolidge, Ryan Lutz, Johnny Turgeson, George Silver, Philipp Stern, Marc O’Malley.

    Filmed by Brendon Hupp.

  • CYCLE SHORTS: BICYCLE PROGRESSION, FROM BALANCE TO PEDAL & BEYOND.

    Ivor performs a 4-year-old super skid at the local school yard.

    Ivor was on a balance bike for a year or so. Then he rode a small borrowed pedal bike with training wheels for a couple of months. He talked every day about graduating to a proper motorcycle, like Travis Pastrana. We explained that he would have to learn to ride the pedal bike without training wheels first. “Take them off!” he yelled. He got the hang of that quick-smart once he knew it was the direct path to a Suzuki RM-Z 450 with a Honda CR500 engine swap. He’s currently 4 years old and rides a Woom Bike. They are really good little kid bikes. That’s all I know.

    If you live in the Northwest and need a reason for living, or if you live outside the Northwest and need a reason to visit and continue living, then the Fixer promo delivers.
    Fixer skateboards is owned and operated by ultimate Phil Stern. Phil is a skilled hardware connoisseur who can tell you the gauge and thread count of a machine screw just by looking at it. He is also a master gardener. The Fixer squad is him, Tim, Ryan and Miles; those guys are freaks in the best possible sense of the term. Interviews coming soon. First I need to ride out to the coast to do an eggplant. In the meantime, please enjoy…THE FIXER PROMO.

     

  • Knife Trick

    I made this one a while back. It was partly inspired by that one scene in Aliens when Ripley realizes Bishop is an android and freaks out. And then it just seemed funny if you inadvertently cut off some fingers to leave only…the bird. Hopefully this brightens your day. Let me know.

  • Predatory Bird Cruiser Board – Guinness Edition – 1 of 50

    With luck we’ll all get through this in one piece. Love you.

    Yes. In honor of St Patrick’s Day it is time to sell number 50/50 of the original Guinness colorway, first released a few moons ago. Click the image below to get to the listing.

    The Predatory Bird skateboard deck
    Number 50/50

    If I sell this one then it could very well kickstart a whole new project. It’s an awesome fully shreddable wall-hanger that represents so much more than meets the eye. Buy it!
