Uh-oh, Don Vito is in some serious sh!# in Colorado. I would love to hear this guy talk to a judge, or even better hear the court reporter try and read back what he says…
after a year of working at 9star, i finally started a blog. 9star is a fun place to work at in case you haven't noticed 
Team Nine Star took a recent trip to Mammoth Brothers Park to make their presence felt. The Team, which included Andrew Pott, Richard Massie, Jorge Comelli, Dom Dom, Big Max, lil max, Elijah the board destroyer and Lamanzo were skating the street section hard and grabbing everyone's attention. Let me just say that Team Management of Nine star team is more like baby sitting. Our new team rider Jorge is just full of energy and had to release it somehow. So he decided to buy a BB gun and shoot everyone during our entire trip. That's why on the way back we decided to leave him behind after we got food on the way back home from the trip. But somehow I felt bad so we went back and picked him up again. Next team trip I'm gonna duct tape this kid and throw him in the trunk! Oh and by the way, it was Big Max's Birthday and he turned 15 while on the road. Happy Birthday Max Karish. Enjoy the photos.
Only Dom can pull off this look.

El Potta had enough of Jorge's shinanigans, so he decided to beat him up at 80 MPH in the back seat.

Snowboarding in July has always been very fun. Yes, I said July and you read right. Fortunate few get a chance of shredding the gnar gnar in the middle of summer and Team Nine Star was one of those fortunate few. With many thanks to John and Justin from K2 Snowboards, this summer trip was a fun one. We first arrived at Seattle and that night we went out and checked out the local hang out spot and saw some great bands at a small local venue. The next morning we took the Ferry and headed out to Vashon Island where the K2 Headquarters are located. There we toured the factory and observed how the research and development team design a board and then make a prototype to be tested by their team. After checking out the factory we headed down to Mt. Hood to do a little testing of our own. K2 was kind enough to arrange a 9 hole golf tourney before we made our way into government village. Let me tell you, I have never played golf so drunk in my life! it was around this time where my memory gets hazy for the rest of the trip. I'll just let the pictures tell the story and you try to figure it out for yourself.
Our buyer Eric and his fabulous hair, no to mention sexy shades on the ferry on the way to Vashon island.
First night in Seattle. Seattle has some crazy people. This guy was a fan of one the bands playing at the bar that night. Dedicated!
Summer time slush fest at Mt. Hood. It's so much funner than it looks.
Campers checking out my homemade graphics on my board. (they were x-rated, and note the beer on the board!) I was being the guy these kids' moms warned them about!
Edward 40 hands! a game with no winners. This is when trouble began.
Eric cheating by cooling his 40. (note this guy's hair then check out the next pic.) I wasn't kidding when I said this is when trouble began!
Aftermath of playing Edward 40 hands!
John, K2 sales manager forgot to take his shoes off before passing out, which means open season to get messed with while passed out. sharpies, whip cream and marshmellows were involved.
This guy was the only bartender in town and on the third night he threw my ass out the bar. But I managed to get back in somehow. So I was told!
Japanese campers are fun. the one on the left liked to measure everything she got a hold of.
Dude, the X-games were off the hook this year. Just when you thought what else can be done that's haven't been done before, Pastrana comes outta nowhere with a double backflip on a motorcycle! As if that wasn't enough, Danny Way was spotted flying off the Mega ramp doing backflips of his own, ON A SKATEBOARD! The X-games are done and over and all we can do now is just talk about it and re-live the moments once again as these exceptional athletes have set the bar even higher. I can't help to pounder what will take place next year? It seems like all the X-games athletes have gone back to their labs thinking about the same thing "how can I raise the bar next year?" Triple backflips? Backside Rodeos on skateboards? who knows? But I am certain about one thing. Nine Star will be there once again hooking up tomorrow's Danny Ways and Chris Coles and other future X-games competitors with the sickest, newest gear. If you had a chance of going to the X-games. you most likely visited "The Shop by Nine Star" right by the Mega Ramp. It was madness and our crew of employees and our friends came thru big during the four days of the event. Thank you gals and guys. If you weren't there to witness it for yourself, check out the photos below to see what I'm talking about.
