Terrytopia theft

Yes, I said it right. Someone stole Terry's Dogtown longboard recently. On top of the missing Old Man Army board not too long ago this is just ridiculous. Who would have the audacity to steal from someone who has provided something extremely rad for everyone and continuously shows his hospitality twice a week. Its insane, stupid really. If anyone knows who did it, or if its you, just bring the boards back, apologize, and never come back to Terry's ever again because that is your best option. You don't want the alternative if someone finds out its you or finds you with the board(s). I'm not saying Im going to do anything, but there are a good number of people that would stop whatever they are doing, including being at work, to come and make sure that whoever did this has learned their lesson. Let's not let it get to that. Just bring it back because after all, ITS NOT YOURS YOU JERK!

Taylor Bradley

step back a few years, when Cooper doesn't have a name yet and ideas are just being thrown around. Taylor was one of the first names to come up when thinking of team riders and we knew that we wanted to make this happen.

So when I heard that Index (the company he was riding for) was going to stop making boards and focus on clothing, it just seemed right that he rides for us.

So, without further delay, it gives me great pleasure to announce that Cooper gladly welcomes Talyor Bradley to the team.

little Rock

When a city has a pretty sick DIY park next to a bowl from the 80's and a sick Dreamland park 10 min away it's definitely worth it to make a day trip. Locals rip and are more chill and friendly than the too-cool-for-skateboarding locals I have come across in other cities. Thanks to whoever was behind Kanis DIY for creating something a little different and challenging. Thanks for the directions to pizza and beer, hopefully we'll see you next time

Dennis McNett

playing it safe will only get you so far. Take some risks and put in some work. I really respect hard working artists. Its risky to work for long hours every day for months producing work that in hopes will sell and pay your rent for the next little while so you can do it all over again. Not much job security in the art world. Sometimes you got to do as Dennis McNett does and do the occasional board series for Anti-Hero to get by.

I first saw his work through Anti Hero. I just recently learned more about his lino-cut prints and his methods as well as a look at the rest of his very, very large collection of works. I believe his work might be the heaviest of many inspirations right now for me. when I find things that inspire me i like to share them, so enjoy these documentary style episodes of Dennis done by Buddy Nichols.

Also, check out some of his work online here.

we aren't just chillin

So its been slow. Maybe even dull for you guys. but new things are on the way for the new year. new graphics, new shirts, and possibly some visual stimulation for your brain. looks like you'll have to wait and see

How Rude of Us...

We never made the proper introductions.
