Plan B & 9 Star Moving On Up to the West Side

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Everyone living in Los Angeles knows that if you want anything POSH, you’ve got to go to the west side.  I live on the east side of Los Angles.  I prefer it here because you can get all the best MEXICAN FOOD (my favorite) that you can eat for really ...

Torey Pudwill On Plan B

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Looking at the PLAN B skateboarding roster, you would think, “Eh, I’ve seen better.  They’ve got a few stars but nobody that completely stands out.  They would have solidified their team a bit more if JEREME ROGERS didn’t have to retire so early.  But one day, eh, they will get ...

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

[caption id="attachment_8449" align="aligncenter" width="540" caption="These guys are excited to team up with Element"][/caption] Conglomerates are the merging of two or more corporations to form a larger business entity.  To me, there is nothing better in business than the formation of a bigger and better product.  A few years ago, 3 companies ...

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Mike and I like to tell stories about the “good old days of skating” (the 90’s) on this site. I have such fond memories of having to con my folks to drive me to Hollywood (actually right across the street from where Undefeated is now) to go to Shut Up ...

Danny Way Has Been Skating Longer Than Most Of You Have Been Alive

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Whenever you find someone in the same profession for two decades, you know that you are in the presence of greatness.  Living in Los Angeles, you run into celebrities all the time in the street.  I’m not the type who will go skull bone a celebrity just because they’re famous ...

20 Years of Pro Skating With Danny Way

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

I like Danny Way and I have for years. I have been a fan of his since the release of Plan B’s “Questionable Video”. Plan B was the team that really turned me on to skating and even though I am not a vert skater in any sense of the ...

Inside The Skateboarder’s Studio With Mike Carroll

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

  Growing up skateboarding in the 90’s, you most likely had to be exposed to Plan B’s first video QUESTIONABLE VIDEO.  I most certainly was.  That was the video that pushed me to follow my heart and do skateboarding full time.  I still went to school but instead of continuing KARATE, ...

C1RCA Introduces CANADIAN Scott Decenzo To The Team

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

  Growing up in a small suburb of Los Angeles in the 90's, it was the FILIPINO kids who were amongst the smartest, fashionable, and most popular at school and all the other surrounding schools.  It was a pretty difficult task, in my opinion, to be apart of their group.  You ...

Del The Homo Immersed In Skateboarding These Days

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

  Sorry Del, your name is too long so I had to abbreviate it for the headline.  It’s actually Del the Funky Homosapien and if you’re not familiar with him, check the first PLAN B video.  It’s full of his stuff.  And then there are all the Bay Area skaters skate ...
