Skate Shoe Designer Sinisa Egelja Dies
I know this is not funny or punk or that you may care or not. You probably don't know who this was. I guess the important thing is that Sin was a skateboarder. A brother. And he has fallen. Sin was a old friend that I met at Del Mar Skate Ranch in the 80's. He was a crazy skateboarder and did these huge eggplants. He was funny and constantly made us all laugh. He was a creative mindand force.
I didn't see Sin much over the years but when I did it was always a fun reunion.
Read more here.
Condolences and best wishes from myself and everyone at Tum Yeto to his family and friends.
Cherish your life and the people around you.

FOG? Whalecock? WTF?
Is this Dave Carnie? Former Foundation team rider circa early 90's. Big Brother and Jackass instigator. Writer extrondinaire. And curator of the of the Food on Drunk blog. What is he doing at Watson Laminates USA HQ? What is he doing with Swank and Barker. Is there a possible Whalecock/Foundation collab for fat old guys? Probably not at this rate buy maybe. We'll see. Or not.
