Also, I can't really take credit for the Leprechaun vid since Eric Noren was the one who emailed the link to me...

...anyone seen a leprechaun?

...about the Warlock Pinchers, I thought I would take the time to expose you to them. They sing songs like Morrissey Rides a Cockhorse and Bloody Revolution (about killing hippies)... blast from the past>



Here's their MySpace in case you want to check it. Looks like someone from Denver manages that page.... ah the homeland.

Chris Troy with 3rd in both Street and Best Trick, Marius Syvanen with 5th, and local ripper Bas Janssen who was just picked up on the Indy Int'l am team and featured this month in Kingpin Mag.

Peep DamnAm.com for full coverage including photos, video, and stories brought to you by the SPoT.

Not that anyone didn't see it coming but Eric Koston is now officially on Spitfire Wheels. His tight kit is runnin' some of the best s#!t in the game with Girl, Four Star, and was of course recently picked up by Lakai and Independent Trucks.
