JAKE JONES DROPPED A NOTE TODAY.. HERE'S WHAT IT SAID:
Just got off the phone with our friend FLO. It's been about three weeks since our last contact, he's been MIA! France, Germany, Estonia and now back in Barca. Flo has also just been added to the Hurly International team! Nice one!
Manny is in Australia filming for his TWS part. (Check out his Santa Cruz tidpits in this months Skateboarder too).
Moully is in the UK shooting photos for SideWalk.
Carolino is back home in Brazil, filming for 411 & preparing to be a daddy!!
Mr. Smith is stranded in LA somewhere on some HollyWood $hit...
Marius was at Tampa Am, playing dodge a kid.
The SID is up here in SF shooting flicks with Joe Brook and ruining jonesy's life!
Ted is in AZ for the winter working on some new video game combos and a Pro model!!!! What? What?
T-Fynn just returned home from China with no STDs and a finished 411 part......................
Hey Kendall and Paul, I think this year I'm going to need a team GPS system to keep up with these guy's......is that in the budget?

Our friends at Tackyworld.com sent us over this video link and this column featuring Henning Braaten... Go Norway!

NHS today to talk biz with the skater business peeps and take advantage of the ever so famous "PRODUCT PILLAGE" that we openly offer to our Team Riders. Even if the riders have pillaged the warehouse 100 times prior, it's still like the 1st time each time they do.
Look at how pumped he is right here!

It's one of the best perks about being a proskater!
As Lee and Matt Jones looked around for new goodies, they came across the Rob Welsh Neptune Tshirt. They both shed a couple tears and wanted to show their sadness.

Sorry guys... but you'll see him again.
Then Lee made his way over to the VERY best part of the NHS Product Pillage.. THE WOOD! He V-lined straight on over to his Fronts Face Parody board and grabbed a grip of those because they are almost gone! Get 'um now kiddies or not at all!

Then I got a nice hug from Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones, then they hugged eachother. To be honest, I am a little jealous of their hug because there was more love between them then I got!
As we were walkng through, I noticed the OFFICIAL VDAY SKATEBOARD! And all you skaters patiently waiting the release.. don't worry... it's coming soon! Tell your girlfriend/s to hook it up for Valentines Day! VDAY Movie for a Vday present! How sweet!

And speaking of the Vets Division, Meekster also dropped by today to do some Top Secret Vday stuff... and use my phone.

Still looks like a young buck!
