All around I'm going to say it was a great Xgames. I really liked the street format. Those guys are good. I got so amped watching it that I went out Sunday afternoon that I took I slammed on a 50/50 and took a double shin to wristy. My thumb is lookin' a little broke off. Luckily I'm more of a hunt and peck kind of typist. We'll get 'em next year...

Caswell's got an interview over at the Slap site. Got to be one of the best online interviews I've seen.
Click on this photo to check it out.



And let me tell you some things I have learned about Caswell on some tours. For the record this might not be indicative of his current lifestyle. I know he's been taking better care of himself lately. Read why in the Slap interview.

-Caswell is not afraid of any skatespot. He's always the first one to charge at a savage obstacle. Folks will be standing around and speculatin but you gotta get out of the way cause Caswell is already approaching it full speed. He'll start with something basic like a boardslide but before anyone has even stepped to it he's banged out like 6 "warm up" tricks. I hesitate to call them warm ups cause its usually a spot where a 50/50 is amazing and he's back smithing it.

-Caswell likes cigs. On tour I've been known to throw back a grit or two so when the room pairings go town I usually take one for the team in the lung dept.. He's been known to wake up in the middle of the night for one and go back to sleep. First thing again in the morning. He's always got a carton of the yellow Amercian Spirits. I think I might owe him a few boxes. Thanks Holmes.

-Red Bull, Beer, and Candy fuel this man. On trips when everyone else is heading to the vegetarian joint I'll get his back on some Mac Do. If it sounds like I follow him around on tour its cause I do. He's such an entertaining person to be around that I can't help but gravitate like a little moon around planet Berry. I think his diet and lifestyle affect his appetite cause I've never seen him finish a 6 piece nug. I get the leftovers.

-The kid has a heart of gold. He's way to hard on himself at times and I imagine it helps make him a better skater but sometimes you just want to tell him "Hey man, we love you. You're such an awesome person that you should love you too." I've been an aquaintance with him since he was a little shnark but didn't get to know him better until he got older. I've never heard anyone who knows him say anything but good things about his attitude and genuineness. He's one of the people I feel really lucky the skateboarding allowed me to get to know. Love ya, man.

They've got a classic part of Cairo over on the the Thrasher site.

Continuing the "love-in" for Enjoi they have an art show in LA this weekend.

So go and say hi to Caswell and buy some of his new wheels.

Saw this a few weeks back but now it is on You Tube. Flimed by Ty Evans for an Aero Chocolate commercial for the UK.

Here's a piece that Mickey Mouse's sports website did on Mark Appleyard.

So headed up to UCLA last night for the premiere of the new Alien Workshop video. It's out in shops on February 6th so go and get it. Lots of great shit in there!

Check out the Thrasher websites "Burnout" section for more flicks.

So seeing as it was ASR every company has a new catalog with all the new crap in it.
David was the featured Ricta rider in it holding his wheels.

So ASR has been and gone. Probably the smallest one ever. There was a few good things though event wise including the first Damn AM awards presented by Nike SB and the Skateboard Mag.
Lots of awards were dished out including this one:-

Thanks to all the crew at SPOT productions for the event.

So there was going to be a Highest Ollie contest at the trade show in San Diego next Friday but it got "banned" by the show organizers because Quiksilver who were sponsoring the event through Reese Forbes were not "exhibiting" at the show.

So luckily DVS has stepped in to save the day with:-

Just as well as Ricta teamrider and England's own Danny Wainwright already had his plane ticket to the US to defend his title at Reese's contest.
Danny also part owns a skate shop in Bristol called 50/50 which has just moved to a new location. Here is a photo of the shop:-

Good luck next week at the DVS deal!

So if any skaters are looking for some post St Nick action then there are two premiers/demo you need to be aware of.
First up is on December 27th at the 4 seasons skatepark in Milwaukee, WI then the following night, December 28th, the action moves to Butler, WI and the Cream City skatepark.
To top it off there is also an afterparty on the 27th with Greg as host.
Check out the flyer.

Arto Saari 54mm Chrome core wheel.
Mind Field, the new Alein Workshop video is due in March 2009 so check out Arto in that!

Ricta shredder Caswell Berry came into town the other day.


Here's whaley with his Ice cam.. Straight running things..

Man this dude was pissed.

I thought we were going to get away with it but when he saw the paint from the rail on the ground he turned into a lil chili pepper!
Anyways, go to your local shop and check out our new Chrome series.

Lutzka's are my weapon of choice...

Entire Ricta Chrome Core Series in skateshops now!

These purple-chrome wheels, just printed today, will be hitting a skateshop near you in the next few days!

Clearly The Best!

Got to work this morning with all kinds of buzz about Jake Brown's Mega Ramp 720 to 50 foot fall.. Check the footage.

pretty much speaks for itself.. that last angle is pretty much unwatchable! From what we've heard he's pretty much ok! Somethings in the Australian water for sure!
