Congrats to Andrew Langi and Theotis Beasley for making it to the Am Finals.

Check out Transworld for more photos and video.

Devine was there too, in the red "Homerun" fitted, signing autographs for the fans with the rest of the Etnies team.


















Good times. Would've been better if the contest wasn't held at the lame Orange County Fair though. Oh well.

What'd I Miss?

Ok, so I was out of the country for roughly the last two weeks and alot has happened since then. So let's get to it, in no particular order.
Andrew Langi (am) and Mark Suciu (flow) were travelling around NorCal hitting up a few spots and shops.

Laurent-Nicolas Paquin got briantapped on the Videograss website. Click on the photo below to take a look.

Devine Calloway was spotted at the CCS Santa Monica store opening wearing the Homerun fitted in the Yankee colorway available only in the online store.

Matty Mo (am) was got a part-time job at Cobra Dogs for the summer. So if you're down for hotdogs (no homo) and you're at any of the snowboard camps in Oregon for the next month or two, stop by and say hello (that's him on the left with his name on the back of his shirt).

Walker Ryan got interviewed at 48 Blocks. Click to photo below to read it and check out his sponsor list to find out why we're telling you about it.

...and lastly. Michael Jackson passed away just as I was leaving the country. And yes, it's been all over the media since, but one more time won't hurt. Anyway, forget all the nonsense and remember the musician. That is all.
