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 [...]
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 [...]
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 of [...]
So just in case you’ve been under a rock, THIS SUNDAY is the Homebase 9-Year Anniversary BBQ. Prizes for this weekends events are piling up. Bring some extra cash for your chance to leave with some. Try your luck on the raffle, putt some golf balls or challenge your homies to a game of quoits. [...]
If you’re not on the Southside tomorrow then you’re blowing it. Not only is it First Friday but it’s the opening of two local artists who are very close to Homebase, Ray Gurz and Dane S. Thompson. But it doesn’t stop there, we’ll be celebrating our neighbor’s across 4th St, Loose Thread’s 2 Year Anniversary. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The countdown til the Lost Soul “Modern Needs” Premiere is on. Save the date, call off work and start planning how you’re going to hitch a ride now. Bring some extra cash to buy 1 of the 250 LIMITED EDITION copies being made, hand screened packaging and packed with gnar. Happy (belated) Birthday Ray, your [...]
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 [...]
