I'm happy to annoounce the commission of this rare videography gem piece of equipment. The Fisher-Price PXL2000 video recorder camera. It's a technological amazing piece of equipment and we are happy to get our hands on it for the F video in pre production right now. "Holy shit!" exclaimed Foundation TM Mike Sinclair. "This is a unbelievable great opportunity for the F Posse and their new video."
Ad process for the F.
The Sinc gets the photo and decides which rider is on deck.
Nilo does rough layout. Not really rough. More like 99% finished.
I get my hands on it and screw it up.
Everyone complains about the results.
I tell Nilo to sneak it off to the mag.
Wala! Amazing ads from a cooperative team effort.
I met Dave in like 1981 or 82. We became fast friends skateboarding at Del Mar Skate Ranch here in San Diego. We did all kinds of skate journeys. Pools, Ramps, distches, curbs, hills. This was before modern street skating came about. Fast forward 30 years. Dave is co owner of The Skateboard Mag and is till ripping it up out there. He came by F-HQ today unannounced. I think it was his first time here ever!?! After checking out Angel's new Tye Dye Heart Weed model 8.5 X 31.75 and giving it a F-yea! rating, we hung out for awhile and talked the siituation in Libya and related middle east uprisings for democracy and the end of dictatorships. Good times!
"This Angel board is the real deal and celebrates the love of weed too!"
Toy Machine's Austin Stephens and Josh Harmony came by the HQ today. Harms told me his hip saga that resulted in his new bionic hip. We talked politics and finance, had a shot of whisky and called it a day. Ah the life of the skateboarding industry!
Ok this series pretty much rules. F Bottling Co.

John McGuire illustrated these working with myself and Barker to get them just right.
Ok so I found a couple Black Beagle images. That board came out in 1994. Seveneen years ago. Crazy!
Then Dakota Servold came by TY HQ for first time ever today.
And then Toy Machine's Dan Lutheran was here too today. I'm not allowed to post even Toy Machine related stuff on TM site so I got Dan up here. Dan is cool and kills it.
Yea they were there. Last night. From 8-8:30 live. Bob Had a Black Josh Beagle deck on the wall there. Hair pick included. Sweet! Should we do a new version with Corey? I think so. I'm looking for the Black Beagle art as we speak...I mean type.
That's right people. We just got a pallet full of Corey Duffel Fiber Prime Star & Moon decks. It's 8.25 X 32", six ply with our Fiber technology on the top. Our riders dig this because it has that extra strength and pop from Fiber material with the wood feel on the bottom of the deck. Classic Star & Moon graphic representing outer space. You know the universe and shit.
Corey Duffel, Sierra Fellers, Angel Ramierz, Dan Murphy, Marquis Preston, Nick Merlino, Abdias Rivera, Ryan Spencer, Taylor Smith & Dakota Servold at Crooks Skateshop.
Toy Machine Pro, JLay aka Johnny Layton came on by the TYHQ with Foundation flow rider, Billy Daveport, along with photog Ben Karpinski. The Sinc caught them in the act of the heist!
Shit! I didn't think Corey could rip the verticle vampires terrian?!?! WTF do I know. I guess not much. Here he is on the cover of the new Tum Yeto log fricking killing it. You can check out the new log at http://tumyeto.com/catalog/44/tum+yeto+spring+2011
Get on that shit and tell your local shop to order immediately!
Party!
The F word is.....Foundation.
Corey ripping on Classic Star and moon graphic. Space and lots of it!
