So we were being cliniced on Rip Curl wetsuits the other day and Andrew (Rip Curl rep) needed someone to put on a wetsuit so he could show some of the features of the suit. Being the pioneer that Jay is, he was jumping up and down to volunteer. Here’s how it looked:

Ok so remember when I said no more bets? well, the big time gambler that I am, I just made another bet. The stage is set, the venue is Daniel "boo boo" Jenkinz vs. Andrew Pott of Shorty’s in a game of S.K.A.T.E.

The bet is that if Daniel "who used to be on the team but since he’s got anger management issues and had to be put on probabtion" beats Andrew Pott in game of skate, I will personally buy him four decks of his choice. Andrew Pott was at the store on 9/26 but he was not able to participate in the skate off just yet since he’s coming off an ankle injury. The skate off is pending due to andrew’s ankle condition for the moment. I will follow up on it and post another blog as information becomes available. In the mean time please post your thoughts and opinion on who’s gonna win, in other words: Does Daniel stand a chance to even get S on andrew??? what cha think?

I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw this car last night in westwood. Homie was rolling hard and trying a lil’ too hard keeping it gangsta! Now, I usually ain’t a player hater but this one was a lil’ too funny. I had to snap a picture of it and post it for all of you.

Today Rob, aka rob digital, aka bus pass, aka rims, aka princeton house party smasher was out in the park re surfacing it for you skaters and bikers. come check out the new bling blinged out park. shit is tiiiight and when you see Rob next time, give him some props.

Rob Digital, hating life. Someone get the man a beer or something! 

Hello kids, it’s uncle here and I have some pix from the grenade premiere in San Diego. There was some mad bro’ing down going on at the trade show but I still managed to get some snaps of party people and drunken bro’s. Enjoy.

Most people that night had a lenghty conversation with the porcelain gods!  

A customer (an old skool skater) comes in today looking for a pair of "hardest bushings" that we sold. I opened the skate case and give him a pair of the doh doh bushings, they were the white ones and according to the back of the wrapper it said that white ones were the "really hard" ones. so far everything was cool until Chad (one of the groms that hangs out at the shop) says "don’t give him the white ones, the black ones are the hardest ones". So the customer looks at me a little unsure of the product that I just gave him and I think he was waiting for me to re-assure him that he did indeed had the hardest bushings. So I re-assured him and send him on his way to the registers. When the customer walked away, I had a lil’ chat with Chad and told him not to jump in when I’m making a sale and that it doesn’t look professional. His response was "dude, but the black ones are the hardest bushing!"

 Now, let me back track a bit. When I looked at the plastic warpper, there were four colors and hardnesses and none of the colors were black. So I naturally did not even bother to look to see what the black ones that Chad insisted that were "the hardest bushings" are all about. knowing that I could never be wrong and wanting to shut Chad down for trying to battle me on skate accesory knowledge, I proposed a bet! the bet was that if the black ones were actually the hardest bushings, then Chad can pick out any deck from the shelf, but if the black ones were not the hardest ones, then I take his deck away from him! My main goal was to bluff him out, after all his own skateboard was on the line. So he said he didn’t really wanna bet (smart kid). But I didn’t let it go and persisted that he should put his money where his mouth is. While I was taunting him I was also reading the back of the black bushing wrapper. there was something very funny written on it (not funny at all at the time of the incident!). It went a lil’ something like this "Doh Doh’s Black the hardest bushings EVER!"  BURN!!!

 I had no choice but hook the little rascal up with the board of his choice which was a PLAN B Ryan Gallant. I have learned a lesson after all this and that’s not to ever battle any of these kids that hang out at 9 STAR, cause they know more than I do, and I work here!

here’s some fine modeling by the our shop rider Mr. Andrew Crabtree. as you can see those Krew jeans are aero dynamically cut so that there is no sag and extra fabric around the ankle area, that means "give it hell kid, land that switch fakie nollie 375 flip to nose manual".

so today this kid named Elias was going around the shop and hittin’ everyone up for 75 cents so he can take the bus. After hearing the words " No, I have no money to give to you kid" by every employee in the shop he decided to prey on the customers. "hmm, these two old ladies from the golden girls that just walked in the store are perfect suckers" he thought. so he approched the grannies and asked them if he could have 75 cents for the bus. The two old sweet ladies looked at him and caringly asked him where he was headed. Elias responded "to century city" with a big smile. He thought " oh yeah, I got these two grannies throwing down for my bus ride fo’ shizzle" It was then when one of the grannies says with a smile" sonny, you better start walking so that you can get there before dark"

BURN!
