Didn’t make it out to the RVCA Demo at Railside last Tuesday? Well not to worry, beside missing out on free dogs you can still watch the footy of what went down.

Voting has begun for the X-Games Real Street. Real Street is a new contest that’s been added to the X-Games. Twelve pros have been selected to film their own 60 second street parts.

As of yesterday you can vote on the ESPN Real Street website for your favorite part (the winner receives $2,500). On Aug 1st all twelve parts will be aired on the final day of the X-Games 16 telecast.

A panel of top pros will be judging the twelve parts and be picking the winner who will receive $50,000 and an X-Games medal.

So do your part and vote for your fav by clicking HERE!

We just received a fresh shipment of Bullet completes for the beginners or if you’re on a budget. Pick one of these completes up for only $89!

If you’re looking to set your child up with his/her first skateboard avoid the Walmart (Big Box) boards. If you spend an extra $40-50 you get a proper skateboard that will last much longer.

We see parents come through complaining about the Big-Box store skateboards because they often don’t last long. They break, seize up or just wear out quickly.

Come by the shop and we will be more than happy to help find the right skateboard for your kids.

I was blown away by this video when I watched it on the Berrics site. I just had to post it and share the pure awesomeness that this short film is.

Steve Berra and Luis Tolentino were down in Mexico to film this project with local skaters Jesus Gonzalez, Eder Martinez, Mario Saenz & Angel Santiago. Berra’s good friend Garth Davis was the Director.

Just when you thought there couldn’t be more apps, the Mini-Ramp 101 app featuring Mike McKinlay is released. It basically teaches you 35 tricks on the mini-ramp.

I’m stoked, this app is going to pick up my mini-ramp game ten fold!

You can score your copy for $4.99 from the iTunes store.

There’s been a few entries already for the Matix Lord of the Lines online contest. If you think you have what it takes then film your best 3-trick line and send it in.
