If a picture is worth a thousand words then you’re really going to get the gist of what you may have missed if you went to the Jersey Shore on Memorial Day Weekend after watching this video of the Red Bull Manny Mania contest and our 8th Anniversary celebration.
We hadn’t thrown a big anniversary celebration [...]

Now that our 8th Anniversary party is done ( yes, I’m sad too) I can turn my attention to some other events that also happened this past weekend- Mayfair for example. . .
manny mania starts in under 12 hours.
No, I don’t suffer from insomnia.

mayhem: the thrasher skate rock tour secretly invaded the 610
Let me stress this is over now and I apologize.
We really didn’t have the time to set up a proper venue and invite everyone to this show. Maybe it’s better that way because the Thrasher x Altamont Skate Rock Tour is not for the faint of heart.
coming to first friday cures winter depression.
February is definitely not my favorite month of the year but you know what, it’s better than January.
Why? Because it’s closer to March which closer to Spring.
Nevertheless, we have to make the best of this drab but short month. No better way to start it off with a big First Friday. Isn’t there a big [...]
remembering the king. . .of civil rights.
Today we celebrate one of our countries most inspirational leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Well, some of us do- others are just happy to take the day off. Nothing wrong with that but try and think about hat Dr. King did for our country for at least a moment. His efforts changed all our lives [...]
it’s not first friday but we’re getting artsy on our own.
You may have had the chance to meet this month’s L.V.A.N. artists JDG while he was hooking up our window before the the Holidays. He was in there for a good 3 weeks straight and he was so still while working some people thought he was a mannequin.
We hung his show a few days ago [...]
playing catch up: the focus tradeshow
It’s old news now but before the groundbreaking day Focus Skate Magazine hosted an trade show in Philly.
These types of shows typically happen in sunny southern California and are typically overrun by surfers, random inventors like the Banshee Bungee and Ripstick trying to make a buck off our culture.
Not the Focus show- just legitimate and [...]
while you were sleeping: “poon” premiere & broken glass (everywhere)
Benji & crew put together a feel-good banger with “Poon.” Taking it back to a style of skate video you don’t see these days anymore. The kind that have a sense of humor, don’t need stunts to validate the skaters and most importantly- makes you want to go skate.
Standing room only.
Benji, the man behind “Poon.”
