Kyle, Killing It Since Day One
Posted by Rob, Friday, May 17, 2013 12:54 PM
Way back in 2007 was when we first met Kyle Walker at Damn Am Costa Mesa, his first one. He turned heads and made it to the Finals there and has been killing it ever since. For the next few years, we saw him with his supportive parents everywhere from the Tranquility rail to Kyle coming back to win Damn Am Costa Mesa in 2010 and again the following year in Woodward. Now he drops this amazing part and like 120+ of today's top pros that have skated Damn Am, he's on the path to his name on a board. It's pretty amazing to see it coming full circle for yet another skater we've seen grow through Damn Am and Tampa Am. Check out Kyle's full part, "In Color". Don't stop at the credits because that's where it keeps getting better. Thanks Kyle and everyone we know for always being a part of our events so we can see you skate in person as well as getting it done in the streets with video parts.

- We now have international shipping. On your cart or the checkout page, click on the "international checkout" button and you're on your way. We will celebrate with stock of a full run of man-purses online soon.

Auction Block
Posted by Rob, Friday, March 30, 2012 10:42 PM
I wonder how much Weezy would bid if we auctioned off SPoT? Nah, it's not for sale and all those rumors flying around are just that. More on that later. Up for real auction, however, is this board he signed for Chad Cardoza's Kick Start My Art where the proceeds benefit skate chairity A.Skate. It ends Monday. Don't outbid me.

Volcom in Copenhagen
Posted by Rob, Saturday, February 18, 2012 3:18 PM
The Volcom crew always brings the ripping to our events around the world like Copenhagen and Amsterdam. The Contest is just a small part of that. We were at all the same spots, but of course no one in our crew
was doing what Grant Taylor, Dennis Busenitz, Chris Pfanner, Rune Glifberg, Raven Tershy, Alex Perelson, and Pedro Barros did. Check
out six minutes of their destruction around Copenhagen:
