Sucking the Life, a new video?

Toy Machine is working on a new video! That's right boys and girls a new Toy Machine video. This one is going to be a tour video that highlights the 2002 summer tour 'Sucking the Life'. Lots of BB guns, water guns and firecrackers will separate the footy of Toy Machine's skateboarding onslaught. Plans are to have it released in March, and so the editing ensues.

Billy Marks and Josh Harmony may be embarking on an east coast Etnies trip on the way to the Tampa AM contest. Where Billy will probably win. I wouldn't be at all surprised!

Nate Broussard and Ed Templeton will connect with Billy and Josh at the Tampa AM. Where Nate is rumored to be entering the contest.

New Pig ceramic bearings.

Ryan Wilburn is currently working on a rocking interview for Big Brother.

The fastest bearings just got faster! Pig will be unleashing it's top of the top of the line Ceramic bearings that will be faster, smoother, last longer than anything else one the market, and affordable!

Pig will be unleashing a new line of kick ass decks this winter with a team of secret rippers that will be equally as superior to the boards. Be on the lookout! It will blow your mind.

New Foundation news.

Foundation's mini-california trip yielded tons of good stuff from the Glam boys. It's been documented that everyone was off the rails. They stopped at some stores and gathered some footy. Rumor is there may be a full length Foundation video in the works.

Corey will be turning pro for Foundation this spring. The Gimme Gimme skateboard graphic contest is now in effect. Draw Corey Duffel's first ever pro graphic and win $500 in Foundation gear and their art on Corey's first ever pro model. Check www.FOSKCO.com for details.

Leo Romero is getting a Raw Talent in the January issue of Strength. Leo will be getting a last part in the new Pharmacy video due out this spring along with friends Matt Allen, Spanky, and Brian Herman. Rumor is that Leo will also be getting the cover. Right on Leo! Plus you can expect Leo to enter the Tampa AM. If does half as well as he did at the Coup Detat San Dieguito handrail challenge he may just be a contender in Tampa.

Watch out for Leo Romero and Gareth Stehr in the upcoming AM issue in TWS.

Gareth Stehr is leaving this country and going back home to New Zealand for the holidays. I asked if he celebrated Thanksgiving and he said "Dude, the pilgrims didn't wash ashore in New Zealand." Which started to make sense, we are all pilgrims! Apparently the common wealth of NZ does celebrate Christmas so off he's going to get lots of presents and will probably be doing some skateboarding aswell.

Daniel Shimizu is working on a Slap interview and has being busy shooting shots with shooters. Plus I'm hearing that Daniel is getting a cohorts in Skateboarder with roommate Justin Roy.

Mike Rusczyk was on a little holiday here in SD and everyday got some killer footage, he also shot some photos for TWS the other night and a sequence for BIG Brother - God dam Am's! Plus he is working on an interview for Strength.

OMG! Jon West has a scary cover on the new TWS Biz mag. It's really scary, its got Jon and he's like front boarding a fence in a graveyard and....just go look at it.

The Madness and Mayhem tour video is kicking ass and taking names. It's a perfect stocking stuffer for everyone! Be sure to ask your mom, uuuuh I mean Santa for one. The Madness and Mayhem video will be coming out on DVD shortly with some great bonus material. It's a must see.

New Ruckus Low Pros.

New Ruckus low pros are in stock! Lower lighter weight 130's weigh in at 11oz. The hanger and base are made out of aluminum 356 T6 hardness. Axle design is cast in using "FANGS" to keep the axle from slipping or turning. Axle is made out of high carbon steel alloy to keep them from bending. The king pin is a super low set head that eliminates hang-ups and interference with a patended feature that allows the usage of a 7/32 allen or a 9/16 socket, made of steel alloy to provide strength against breakage. Base plate has a threaded insert pressed in for the king pin, in place of a standard nut, to handle high torque without slipping. Its conical shaped upper and lower 90A durometer high rebound bushings make for improved turning. The non sticking bushing washer cups have been designed in accordance to the bushing for a correct fit. Ruckus low pros are available in 120s and 130s and come in new colors, hornet yellow, blood red, stealth black and standard silver.

You actually have a chance to win a pair on BigBrotherMagazine.com So go and try duh! What are you waiting for?

New Message Board!

Hello vatos y vatas, we have new Tum Yeto Forum software now up and running. We know you all hate change and will probably complain for a while, but the same thing happened last time we upgraded software and you all grew to love the new stuff. So, here's some advantages to this new software:

- Login Accounts (no more imposters!!)
- Personal Profiles (upload a photo, list your website, AIM, email addresses)
- Personal Messages (you can send private messages to other messageboarders - just like email)
- BBCode - use like HTML, you can bold, link, image, list, itallic, underline, etc
- Graphic smileys and stuff
- Anti-spam stuff will prevent tools from flooding the boards.
- In-message polls. You can post polls in the boards and everyone can vote on them.
- Ability for admins to post "Sticky" Announcements that stay at the top of the thread list (like this one!).
- Easy admin for Moderators.
- Easier to ban wankers who are being tools.
- Better looking, easier to navigate.
- A bunch of other stuff I forgot.

Enjoy!
