for all your modern needs
Lost Soul Skateboards represents a good portion of what’s lacking in skateboarding . . . in my mind at least.
They and all the other skateboard brands that decide they want their board company to have a certain feel, go in a specific art direction and represent a style of skateboarding make skating unique. So [...]
the thursday drop: diamond supply co, l-r-g, herschel bags, lost soul, homebase & hardgoods
Let this be fair warning:
Nothing like a Diamond Supply Co delivery to get people running into the shop and the phone ringing off the hook. All I’m saying is if you want your size, then move quick.
The Diamond x Hall of Fame T-Shirts and New Era Snapbacks. If you’re a size large, I hope you [...]
cutting it up with andy v. (nyuck, nyuck)
Andy Vasquez is a talented individual- on and off his board but he’d never tell you that. I’ve known him since his early BM2K days and have been proudly watching him mature from the sidelines into an amazingly creative friend. His latest venture is his wood working company and website: www.AndyVasquezFurniture.com. He had one [...]

But it doesn’t stop there, we’ll be celebrating our neighbor’s across 4th St, Loose Thread’s 2 Year [...]
time travel impossible? go to bangor.
Bangor? I hardly know her. Even the jokes about Bangor are old.
When you visit some rural towns it sometimes feels like you go back in time. Not that it’s a good or bad thing. If the 70’s were awesome and you want to stay in that era. More power to you.
You want to make [...]
small talk with ray gurz
Focus Skate Mag recently ran a little interview with Homebase rider and Lost Soul Skateboards owner, Ray Gurz to get some real talk on Modern Needs, skating in the 610 since the 80’s and reaching into young ladies fishnet stockings. . .
Surprisingly enough it was all skate talk and no talk of his and Pensyl’s [...]
procrastinate now: skate jawns, ‘zines vs. blogs, bonds & rotm’s
I saw a sign that said “Read ‘Zines Not Blogs.”
I don’t know why they have to bully blogs and bloggers but the homies that put together Skate Jawn give that sign a big F.U. These dudes are on a whole other level: Skate Jawn is a ‘zine, on a blog. You can go online and [...]

procrastinate now: habitat “origin” premiere tonight!
I really am procrastinating right now. I have a bunch of work I should be doing but I’m making up a BS web post instead as an excuse to watch skate videos on the internet.
Don’t forget tonight at 8pm we’ll be showing Habitat’s 3rd film, “Origin.” Apparently Habitat AM, Austin Gillette kills it.
Here are a [...]
dirty days in jersey
I’m down for Jersey. I got homies out there. Plus, there are good skate spots to be found- even if they are empty building foundations.
Last Saturday Ray, Colbert, Hill and I went to skate the abandoned foundation spot in Jersey City. A while back the locals but marble on the cinder block boxes there and [...]
