Check out the trailer for the Beautiful Losers movie, showing next month at South By South West.

NYC skate company Rockstar Bearings, founded by Adrian Lopez and the late, great Harold Hunter, is getting ready to release their newest DVD “America Eats It’s Young,” which borrows it’s title from an old Parliament Funkadelic album.

Once again, the Lord Of The Lines is contest back. Which pro will put together the best 3 trick line? Will it be Ronnie Creager again? Or Busenitz? Shit, maybe Ellington’s got the runs? I’m putting my hard earned cash on Mike Mo or MJ.
