Ooooooh MATIX ASHER BALLER ZIP HOOD


There really isn't a radder sweatshirt than the Matix Asher. This is a full zip quilted sweatshirt that is super warm and incredibly comfortable. It is lined with super soft satin. The Asher now comes in a couple of different flavors. The Baller features a layered applique across the front . The front pockets also have a distressed edge. If you don't own any Ashers, you should definately get at least one. You can wear this as a jacket or a hoody.
Buy It? Okay I love Matix

FRUIT OF THE VINE is a super 8mm film that documents the incredible and often dangerous lengths that skateboarders go to in order to ride deserted, empty swimming pools. It is not a historical documentary, but a collection of stories shot in 1999 while Coan and Rick traveled from southern California to Seattle and around the east coast in search of pools to ride. FRUIT OF THE VINE profiles the people who search for, find, break into, and ultimately glean some use out of these pieces of the American suburban wasteland. With skate luminaries like Tony Alva, Lance Mountain, Steve Bailey, Salba, Shaggy, Chris Senn, Pete the Ox, Tony Farmer, Tom Groholski, Mark Hubbard, Pat Quirk and many more. Soundtrack features Bad Religion, The Clay Wheels, Steel Wool, The Loudmouths and more.

LORDS OF DOGTOWN tells the radical true story behind three teenage surfers from Venice Beach, California, who took skateboarding to the extreme and changed the world of sports forever. Stacy Peralta (John Robinson, Elephant), Tony Alva (Victor Rasuk, Raising Victor Vargas) and Jay Adams (Emile Hirsch, The Girl Next Door) are the Z-Boys, a bunch of nobodies until they create a new style of skateboarding that becomes a worldwide phenomenon. But when their hobby becomes a business, the success shreds their friendship. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen) and written by Stacy Peralta, Lords of Dogtown is "...a dazzling daredevil ride."

DOGTOWN AND Z-BOYS: This award-winning, thrilling story is about a group of discarded kids who revolutionized skateboarding and shaped the attitude and culture of modern day extreme sports. Featuring old skool skating footage, exclusive interviews and a blistering rock soundtrack, DOGTOWN AND Z-BOYS captures the rise of the Zephyr skateboarding team from Venice's Dogtown, a tough "locals only" beach with a legacy of outlaw surfing.

If you really want to see some hardcore pool skating, BEERS, BOWLS, AND BARNEYS is one of the best videos out there. I got this video the day before I broke my leg in two places skating a bowl and it kept me sane for about 5 weeks. Then I cut the cast of myself and got yelled at by my doctors. My leg still clicks a little when I walk down stairs. So get this vid!
