Posted by Rob, Monday, April 22, 2013 11:15 AM

Right after Damn Am Atlanta, we went straight to Portland for some Nike talk where I stayed extra days to wander around the city and state of Portland.

Agenda Trade Show in NYC

Posted by Rob, Friday, January 25, 2013 3:26 PM

We had the pleasure of spending about 24 hours in New York this week for the Agenda Trade Show. It was a productive time of meetings and general sketchy skateboard industry bid'niss bro downs. You can also catch a preview of the new SPoT X Vans shoe coming designed by Russ Pope: Agenda Trade Show in NYC.

One Day in East LA

Posted by Rob, Wednesday, October 17, 2012 7:59 PM

We had a few hours to kill in Los Angeles before flying back home from Damn Am Woodward West last weekend, so we found a hipster lunch spot and hit the streets with Jata, Yonnie, and crew while they were getting GX clips. You know you're at the right LA spot for lunch when you find Jason Dill there: One Day in East LA.

South Africa: Johannesburg for a Day and on to Kimberley

I can't believe all the things we've done in the last 40 or so hours. After landing in Johannesburg following 30+ hours of traveling, we've had an adventure that has included gambling, drinking, skating, wildlife, and friends from around the world. Here's a camera dump so far: South Africa: Johannesburg for a Day and on to Kimberley.

Posted by Clem, Friday, September 07, 2012 2:35 PM

While Schaefer and Rob were in Montreal for Backyard Party, Porpe and Clem were on the other side of the world at the Nike Festival of Sports in China. Check out the SPoT Crew as they run both Damn Am Shanghai 2012 and Shanghai Pro 2012 at the crazy festival, skate the gigantic SMP Skate Park, and hit some great Shanghai marble along the way. Not only were superstar skateboarders like Koston and Theotis in attendance, but the likes of Lebron James and Paul George were hanging out, too.

Montreal Lurk and the Empire Backyard Party

Posted by Rob, Tuesday, August 28, 2012 7:37 AM

Schaefer, Pat Stiener, HiDefJoe, and I spent the weekend in Montreal to help run the Empire Backyard Party. We were up there a day early to get started on some SPoT Life stuff and roll around. An episode is coming up later today, but for now, I got a bunch of photos and of course a cell phone edit: Empire Backyard Party and a Lurk Through Montreal.

Our weekend in Montreal shaved down to 4 minutes:

Let's Go Back to Copenhagen: SPoT Life Episode 17

Posted by Rob, Tuesday, August 14, 2012 11:49 AM

You've already seen all our Contest coverage from Copenhagen Pro 2012, but this episode of SPoT Life touches on all the stuff outside the main event, such as our tourist missions and adventures into the lawless part of Copenhagen known as Christiania. We also have some of the other events like the Am Contest, more of the nut roaster (Ring of Spitfire), highlights of the raging Bowl Jam, and our much deserved day off following all night work shifts at the Contest. That's where our Copenhagen friends took everyone on a boat ride through the city to feed and fatten us before we hopped on a plane home. What a week in Copenhagen. I hope you were there, and if not, you have a year to start planning to join us in 2013 for more of these amazing times.

SPoT Life Type of Day in California

Posted by Porpe, Sunday, August 12, 2012 10:39 AM

Instead of staying in California after Costal Carnage and Damn Am Huntington, I went home for 48 hours. I flew right back out to California to meet up with Clements where we teamed up with Skateboarder Magazine to run an event at Stoner Plaza benefiting Make-A-Wish Foundation. Clements and I had a free day so we decided to make the best out of it. We took a tour of the Beats by Dre offices in Los Angeles. Then we hit up Torey to get a tour of his house in the valley. After that we met up with Nick Tucker to skate PRod Plaza at Richie Valens Park. Finally, we ended our day at Paul Rodriguez's personal TF where an epic session went down. Lets just say it was a long and eventful day. This is a SPoT Life episode you will not want to miss.
