JUL 26: Profecy PRO Series.

By Hali Estrada

One of my first boards was a used Rob Roskopp and I remember very clearly how amazing the graphic was to me, I will always remember  how I use to grab a permanent marker to try to fix the beat up graphic when it got a new scratch. Nowadays there’s only few companies run entirely by Skateboarders and they are the only ones making relevant graphics, I love when I see a board or a series of boards that take me back to the time when I used my permanent marker and graphics meant something more; I was thinking about all this when I started doodling ideas for the new pro series and after many cups of coffee this is the result :). The new PRO BOARDS of Giancarlo Zavalaga, Jesus Olcese and Sebastian Arrieta are available in all sizes: 7.5, 7.75, 8 and 8.25. The PROFECY pro series are 100% made in USA by Skateboarders so you know you are getting quality here, only few will be made so get yours while you can ;).

JUL 24: 7D test drive

We got up early on Saturday to get Gunthers new 7D and take it for a test. The Costa Mesa park is literally right around the corner so we decided to go there and after a cup of coffee with Zavalaga we were on our way. The sun was out and it was the perfect day for Skateboarding; Luie got there with Marissa and after a little warm up he was killing the park, the kid is just amazing :). Here is a little clip I put together from the session (Watch it in 720 HD) and make sure to check the page tomorrow because the NEW PRO BOARDS will be available :).

JUL 03: BATB4

By Gunther Estrada.

After a long day of work at the DC HQ I got in Tom Contrera’s beat up BMW  and drove up to LA for the BATB4 Finals. Riding along with Kevin B. and Tom T. (part of DC Lurker’s crew) is more than hilarious; It will never stop to amaze me the amount of senseless, useless crap we are able to produce in a matter of 30 minutes, Its awesome!. Finally we got there to realize that we were to early so we crossed the bridge to Salman Agah’s new pizza joint ” TODDY G’s ” (if you are around LA be sure to get a slice of the carnivore pizza), we got a munch and a soda and then off to the bar next door for a drink to kill some time and to tame the heat; After a couple of drinks we headed back to the Berrics to check the situation, we found Berra at the back door and he told us to cruise to the front door for instant access (it pays to look famous), I have not seen the park since they remodeled it and I have to say it looks like a lot of fun. After lurking around the spots we grabbed a couple of free beers and a burger ( In “n” Out ) and waited for the finals. I am not going to tell you about the amazing tricks or the heat that was almost unbearable inside the park cause you can see all that at the Berrics website but I do have to mention that Morgan won “clean” not only because he is a talented skate wizard but also a very humble person and I appreciate that more than anything nowadays since the “Industry” has been plagued with so many wanna be rock stars and douche bags in general. A little amount of real humanity tastes really good, like a refreshing cup of Inka Cola at the beach (In Peru).

Big props to Morgan!

Here are some pics :).
