Recognition Update!
by: Brink | Monday, April 16, 2007
So far, the word from Japan is that in the last few days, the team (Arto, Eric "Sonic" fletcher and Ronnie Creager) hit the Trickstar skatepark in Gunma, (two hours north of Tokyo), then headed to a demo/signing at Sagamihara skatepark in Kanagawa, (an hour hour south of Tokyo), followed by a signing and a sesh at a park in Mayabashi and a signing at Azure Rideshop. Wow, that's a mouthful!
Evidently, Ronnie Creager has been ripping hard and seems to be a huge celebrity in Japan. Pierre Andre and Don Brown handed shoes out to the top local skaters at all the stops and people are genuinely stoked.
Check out the gallery so far and stay tuned for more updates!

Dill Speaks!
by: Brink | Thursday, April 12, 2007
Crailtap posted this little quote from Dill on his "performance" in Chomp on This, the greatest skateboarding video of all time:
I suppose it would only be fair to admit to the fact that I was "intoxicated" slightly when appearing in Chomp On This. I guess I was saying or actually making the comparison between big wave surfing and big tricks in skateboarding. With me being more of a "grounded" or "artsy" skater. I was apparently paying respect to people who take skating to another level, like Heath, Arto and Andrew Reynolds. I believe they are the Laird Hamiltons and Kelly Slaters of our industry. Hope that some what sums it up for you.
--Jason Dill
