well crap. i was trying to work on a bunch of product review. like some satori wheels. some autobahn dual core wheels. some vans AV3s, and Etnies Barge (shoes).. and some bearings.
but i am once again injured, and have been limping for a week straight. plus! it’s below freezing here in NYC. so.. yeah. my skating is sorta on hold for sure. in the mean time, OPEN is planning, and getting ready to shoot some promos. those will hopefully come post the holidays. along with some welcome ad’s and videos to some of the first people on the OPEN team. we got Tshirts being made, and new designs getting ready for spring. i know there is still lots of winter left. but lets be realistic. you can skate in the winter on the east coast.. sometimes. its not an everyday thing. your boards, and shoes all of a sudden start lasting a bit longer over the winter months. or i’m a wuss.
here’s a graphic of the tshirt btw. once all the homies have theirs. i’ll put the remaining ones up for sale via HB and OPEN.

we were hoping to have SOUGWEN decks available for this show. but it won’t be the case. but there will be full res prints on display. and it will be the only place to pre-order the deck. the run is hyper limited in comparison to most skateboards. so if you miss out. you miss out.
the deck will be 31.5 x 7.75 & 7.6″.

August 29th, 7pm to 11pm
you have to RSVP to find your way.

i will also have a couple.. and i mean a very few IAN LYNAM boards on me. they come in 7.75, and 8″ wide version. if you want one. leave a post. i will make sure to have one for you. IAN decks on this night only.. will be 40$ flat. sougwen reserves are 50$.

you see that banner up there? oh yeah, i’m proud to announce, that the first OPEN skateboard is available for pre-order. OPEN skateboards is a new company, focused on quality skateboard decks, great design, and hopefully unique style. our first board (the one avail for pre-order) is a hyper limited edition deck. it’s made from 100% bamboo, has a one color silk screened design, and is hand numbered. i have been skating on a 100% bamboo deck for a couple month now, and i think they are great. super pop, and it just keeps on going. oh, and it looks great. bamboo is a 100% green tech, as about a foot or more grows in a week. not the hundreds of years that canadian maple takes.
though look for our upcoming decks to also be available on canadian hardwood maple. a good deck is a good deck.

i know the updates have been lacking for a couple days. i wanted to update every day. specially during the weekdays! so heres the story. i have nothing done to post. all my posts are being worked on. things you’ll see soon. a rant on virgin galactic, a review of “better skateboard” wheels, updates on my records labels, skateboard sub label OPEN. including our first limited deck. made form 100% bamboo. (yet it still a street pill based board). so their will be lots of updates on that.
good stuff i swear.
