Jason Jessee wanted to do something special for Valentines Day so we made 250 boards with a special Valentines message on them. He signed or scribbled on every single one! Shops have already bought them up so if you see one in a store in the next week or so - buy it because we aren't making any more!

Emmanuel Guzman just got back from the Independent Tour in Australia (Kenny Anderson, Omar Salazar, Dan Drehobl, Andrew Currie) and came in to run through the warehouse and restock. He's claiming it was one of the best trips ever - logged tons of footage for his part in the new Transworld video "Let's Do This" and lots of photos too so could be an interview brewing. They literally skated every day from the day they landed and he said the place is amazing with every type of terrain you could think of. Australia has "skate-friendly" cities like Melbourne where they never got hassled once - should be on everyone's list of go to spots...
Thanks to his camera breaking the day before he left, these are the only souvenir shots from his trip...a chunk taken out of his thumb by a 3 foot river eel he tried to grab onto and some oozing elbow wounds.
Welcome home homie!

Elbow ooze:

Close up ooze:

The best part is when he actually scraped off the scab just to show me how he can still squeeze out the ooze. Or how every morning he woke up with his arm stuck to the sheets.
