Ben Rice: Reduex

After reading his interview, many of you might be thinking Ben Rice is a dirty piece of trash. Thank goodness Yobeat decided to run another interview highlighting the true positive influence that is Ben Rice.

(now click on the photo of this handsome young man and be inspired by his wholesome demeanor)

The website should be updated by next week. In the meantime, we'll highlight some of the Spring pieces here. Better make moves before everything's sold out.

Congrats Sherm.

We Run

We collaborated with New York based Once Upon A time for a flip on their ever popular "We Run..." shirts, producing the fitteds to match. The shirts have been all over the map, spotted in videos from The Game to Fat Joe.














Anyway, the caps were just released and are now up on the We Run site. Get yours, these are sure to be gone quick.

Sugar Shane

Ran into Sugar Shane Mosely up in Big Bear. He's down.

We Run Canada

Congrats to Silvia Mittermueller for coming out on top at the Canadian Open. Silvia's been spending quite a bit of time on the podium this season. Regional rider Megan Ginter took 2nd, which is a solid follow-up to her 3rd place finish at the X Games.




















Charles Reid is no stranger to the contest scene either and he earned himself 3rd place.



















Seeing as how we have 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place covered, I think it's safe to say we swept the podium, right?

Damn Am Awards (I know, it's late)

Still catching up from Tradeshows.
Anyway, Andrew Langi won the "Came Out Of Nowhere" award at The Skateboard Mag and Skatepark Of Tampa's Damn Am Awards last month.














Look at how popular it's made him already....

S.I.A.: Whatevs

With the business out of the way, let's take a look at some of the other ongoings from the show. Unfortunately, I was having to get up around 6:45 each morning to get ready for the show, so I wasn't staying out too late at night. But I'm sure you've seen all the standard party pics already, so who cares?

We stayed at the luxurious Tropicana Resort. You can tell that they're really on point with the up-keep at this place.














The view was decent. Looks kinda like a painting or a postcard photo.














We were given 44 cases of Monster to give away at the show. For some reason it took two bellhops to bring it to the room and they aren't shy at all about asking for tips. We gave them a case to replenish their energy.














Nam, testing out the intern's bed for the week.














Stopped in to eat at Panda Express and there was a dead person in the corner. There was also a midget there and some guy who told us his fortune cookie said to drop dead.














Home Depot. Self checkout sucks.














Nima, diggin in our boxes and breakin our coathangers.



















Jack Skellington, Jack Sparrow, Jack The Ripper, Chainsaw Jack, or whatever you know him as, posing with some girl with a painted on shirt. Yeah, there's some classy marketing goin' on at the show.














Ben Rice and Dennis from Bataleon. We had a power dinner with some power players and ran up a hefty bill. Thanks Transworld.














Yeah, this guy was serious with that hair.














Josh. All business.














Free sneakers from 686/New Balance.














Alex is down.














So is Brandon. He's a sneakerhead.














Limo ride. Yeah, we're ballers. The intern is eyeing the booze.














Trish the Dish. I heard she had dinner with Carrot-Top and Gene Simmons at Mr. Lucky's that night.














Transworld Awards. Dennis looks a little suspect.














Couple of scallywags. Big Mountain Mike got real loose and lost his voice.



















Volcom, pretending they got kicked out of the show.















Damage Inc. A pretty legit Metallica cover band. They look like middle-aged burnouts, but they sound like the real deal.














Yeah, they had a railjam there. Conveyor belt drop-ins are so next level (sarcasm intended).














Nam, stackin' chips. He got cleaned-out right after this was taken.














Nam Tran, Anthony "Jesus Christo" Manfredi, and Pat Estrella.














Circle Bar. Every night ends up here.














Leaving Las Vegas. So Happy.

S.I.A.: The Booth

Got some catching up to do, so let's start with the booth build. As usual we waited til the last minute to build our booth for the show, but one booth didn't seem like enough stress for us this year, so we decided to build Ashbury's booth for them too. Big thanks to Josh for working extra hours to get both booths done in time.










































This is "Bear", Josh's gangsterific neighbor. He kept calling me "Dave", because he couldn't remember my name.



















This is Mike & Lance, working hard, buying ice cream and fart-bags.














Lance, doing some touch-up work.














We finished everything on Sunday night the 25th, loaded the truck, and headed out to Vegas.














Had a new location this year. We showed up and the booth behind us had set-up in the wrong spot, which pushed us 6 inches into the isle.




























Sticking out 6 inches didn't help with all the cranes and forklifts squeezing by. This guy hit our booth twice trying to get turned around.














Done. Finally.














Ashbury. Done.














Mike. Ready to start sellin'.














Bishop. Handlin' some Elm business.














Wow. Our booth actually looked kinda legit this year.














So there it is. Can't be giving you any close-up product sneak-peeks yet though.
