Color Magazine RVCA Tour

Also in the new Color Magazine issue 6.1 is a RVCA tour article which i had the privilege collaborating on with Ed Templeton, Cairo Foster and Keegan Sauder. Keegan wrote all the captions which are hilarious, Cairo wrote the story but unfortunately wasn't able to come on the east coast portion of the trip. Ed shot all the street photography which includes the opening spread,  just one of the many amazing photo's Ed shot along the way. Yours truly shot all the skateboarding photo's and to say the least i was so stoked on being a part of this tour. Good times with good people and thats what life's all about right. Thanks to everyone involved on this esp. Jimmy Arrighi the RVCA team manager and of course the entire RVCA team ,we had a blast. Thanks to everyone at Color for making it happen.

Jared Leto in etnies' Fakie

"I just love a dude who's comfortable enough with his masculinity to sit with his legs crossed. Whenever I do that, I look like Posh Beckham sitting front row at a Paris fashion show. Although sometimes my legs can't help it and they must be crossed. Maybe it's my nutsack telling my body they want a little hug. A nutsack hug."

Atlas @ Legendary / Légendaire Mt Baker Banked Slalom

Atlas shop owner David Soulière did really well placing 19th last Sunday at the Legendary Banked Slalom at Mt. Baker. He finished in front of riders like DCP and Wille Yli-Luoma and only 1 second from the top 10. With that kind of riding we'll have to make room on the Dragon team riders list!? David created 3 years ago the Banked Slalom for multiples sclerosis in Val St-Come and has always maked sure to place a banked slalom category in the Rumble, another competition he created a few years back. We're super happy for him that he finaly got the reward earned after all these years of looking at one of the most prestigious event in snowboard history.

Le propriétaire d'Atlas: David Soulière a fait tout une prestation Dimanche dernier en terminant 19eme au légendaire Banked Slalom du Mt. Baker. Terminant devant des riders comme DCP et Wille Yli-Luoma et se positionnant à seulement 1 seconde du top 10, nous devrons peut-être faire de la place sur le team Dragon!? David est le fondateur du Banked Slalom pour la sclérose en plaques de Val St-Come et il s'est toujours assuré de faire une catégorie banked slalom dans le Rumble, une compétion de snowboard qu'il créa il y a quelques années. C'est avec un énorme plaisir que nous soulignons cet évènement. Si quelqu'un méritait de participer à cette compétition, c'est bien David qui a voulu faire connaître cette discipline après s'être inspiré d'un des évènements les plus prestigieux du monde du snowboard.

Sneaker Pimps Vancouver

Etnies Plus up in that mix! WTF Biz Markie for only $15? I went to the show in MTL and trust me there are some vintage skate shoes in the mix that are worthy of seeing as well. Only $15 presale at Clubzone or Livestock.

KNOW?SHOW EAST

There were so many photos I could have posted from KNOW?SHOW east in Montreal. The Timebomb Trading booth...or the 32 party...or the Empire store opening...or maybe the Timebomb party with Team Canada? Well instead I chose the world's famous tough guy shot because anybody that works with us knows how it goes down. Dan...save this photo beacause in 5 years it will all make sense. See you next time MTL
