Skate News: New stuff...........
By: skatesuicide

2009-03-18
Kris Hudson is our second Pro for Suicide Skateboards. We feel he will be a great help to our company as a Pro and we also feel he fits right in with what we're doing and what we plan on doing. We couldn't ask for anything more. His Pro model is coming soon. Now David Cotter pro model is still available now. You can also see Dave and friends in the Suicide Skateboards video project out now!! 1st Choice Sk8 Shop carry Suicide Skateboards products. So if any other skate shops want to carry Suicide Skateboards go there for bulk orders. Now we just teamed up with Woodchuck and they are going to help make and take Suicide to the next level Thanks for the Support!! Also be sure to check out the new History of Suicide section

SkateboardVillage News: Matix News - Frankfurt to Berlin
By: SkateboardVillage.com

Jesus Fernandez, JB Gillet, Mikemo Capaldi, Torey Pudwill, Danny Brady, Marty Murawski, Mike Anderson, Lem Villemin and Vivien Feil experienced the “Grey Daze” Germany had to offer us on the recent Matix trip. The team started off at the Bright Tradeshow in Frankfurt where Mo had a release party for his upcoming signature Asher. Kids lined up to meet the Mo and get a free LTD Mo tee, given to them by Mo himself.

Saturday July 11th the team threw their signatures down on a stack of posters during their signing at Railslide Skateshop, while sipping black coffee. (The Railslide bro’s brewed up at their in-store coffee shop.) After three days in Frankfurt, burned out on tradeshow craze and the few cases of Becks the team had gone through, they packed their bags, crowded into a Euro-size rental van (which was small) and trekked to Berlin.

During their five-day stay in Berlin—no bank was left un-skated, no marble was left un-grinded and no beer was left un-opened. When you’re skating the most unique spots Berlin has to offer with some of our most talented Matix riders, you get a lot of stuff done. From a Titus “Zoopreme” store signing and a load of filming to shooting for a Monster Magazine article the 8-day stay has produced some good coverage available in the near future.

Click Here to check out Tony E's Flick'r account for some photos from the trip.

Look for an upcoming Matix Podcast, as well as a feature on FUEL TV’s “The Daily Habit” coming soon. Keep an eye on www.matixclothing.com and FUEL TV for more on “Grey Daze In Deutschland”.

My Blog: SPONSORSHIP
By: gust_skate_co

i pick girls on the basis of these things:

positive attitude

being able to skate everything steps,half pipe,banks,ledges,rails and everything u see in vids! handrails are not mandatory and must be able to do demos and appearances when needed!

constant promotion is needed cause it brings u more product in the mail! it is a scratch my back i scratch ur's deal because being a sponsored skater is like having a job i am the employer and u are the employee and u do what is needed to make the company a success and then u reap the benefits such as more clothes a month and wheels and boards and bearings and get ppl to add us on myspace and visit our website and buy our products!

i also look for those who are constantly progressing which means learning new tricks on a constant basis! i dont "hire" just anybody cause then things would be a failure and id go out of business cause no one would be stoked on a company who has half ass skaters that cant do a ollie or something. at a demo ppl will talk and it will come back on me and i will lose money and u will lose product! this is a team effort! u make me look good and ill make u look good in magazines,ads, and stuff like that.

i dont care about what kind of music ppl listen to !

sponsor me vids help! pics are never allowed cause u cant tell style or if u landed a trick or not! video footage is the best way to go and it has to feature all the best stuff u can do like fliptricks down stairs,tech tricks on ledges, big airs on transition etc etc also include information about urself such as name and where u live and why u deserve the opportunity and any current sponsors u have (skate crews dont count)

DO NOT BE A SLACKER!!!!!!!

to sum it all up if u are doing what is being done in videos then u deserve a sponsorship!

My Blog: FREQUENCY ASKED QUESTIONS
By: gust_skate_co

1.what is the g.u.s.t.? the girls united skate team or g.u.s.t for short is the first and only female skateboarding company to ever hit maryland!

2. what is the g.u.s.t about? the g.u.s.t. is about bringing the female skateboarding scene together and closer and to spread the awareness that we are out there and we rule and we will not be taken lightly!

3. is this just a skate crew? no this is a full blown skateboard company!

4. do you have products? we have a spring product line with 2 shirt graphics and various colors to choose from with the price of $17.99 plus five dollars shipping anywhere in the united states! and we also have stickers that are 8.5 inches long and sell for $1.50 each!

5. how did you get involved in the female skate scene? this is a funny story...i was playing tony hawk's pro skater 1 and the first person i beat it with was elissa steamer and i got really stoked and that started to get me involved into female skateboarders and thus i been helping out the scene ever since and in '06 i decided that the female skateboarding scene needed a new real company that promotes their girl riders unlike other companies who do not promote their female riders...my work began in 01 when i started to help with xgirlsport.com(online female skateboarding zine that is now defunct) and after the owner moved to spain i was dissapointed cause i was really stoked and wanted to keep it going and i felt empty so i decided this should fill the void!

6. why distinguish female skaters as female skaters and not just skaters? good question! as i see no gender since i am a feminist i believe that girls in general do not get the credit they deserve and it is just the same as saying hey look at that purple smurf walking down the street. it is just a way to describe someone no disrespect intended it is just a adjective.

7.what does the girls united skate team co make? right now shirts which cost $17.99 with five dollars shipping and stickers that cost $1.50 SO BUY BUY BUY!

8.can i be sponsored by your company? u can but rather i let u on is a different story haha with this team even though it is based in dundalk,maryland i have riders from other states because i want to expand the movement to the four corners of the united states and inbetween i am ALWAYS on the look out for girls from maryland which is my main focus! i really want to build up a team of md girls which is hard to do since there are not many here that skate! but i do not have a problem with sponsoring ppl out of state.

9.how do i get sponsored? u can get on by making sure u are one of those skaters who are constantly pushing urself to the limits and progressing every single time u go out and having a positive attitude and no negativity,u must also be able to skate all terrain I DO NOT ACCEPT GIRLS WHO ONLY SKATE ONE THING! i demand that my riders be able to skate everything which means but not limited to ditches,rails,steps,ledges,mini ramp,banks,ski jumps,flat ground and so on! if u dont understand what i mean take a look at the skating of vanessa torres,elissa steamer,jamie reyes,lauren mollica,monica shaw etc etc AND I ALSO EXPECT FOR U TO REPRESENT AT CONTESTS,LOCAL SKATESPOTS,MYSPACE AND EVERYWHERE ELSE U GO the more u promote ur sponsor the better things will be for u product wise and the better the mood u put me in!.also a video of some sort helps as well! pics will not be good enough. i expect a classic sponsor me vid rather it be vhs or dvd i cant accept any other formats but those 2 and u must film once in awhile and take photos! traveling is not neccessary but it helps both me and u in the long run!

10. what do i get when im on? u get whatever we make! however dont expect to be getting 20 or 30 shirts a month cause that is just impossible cause i must also sell shirts as well so be thankful for what u get!

11. what is the policy with flowing riders? i dont believe in flow!

12. what can i do to help spread the word of the g.u.s.t. movement? u can spraypaint a logo somewhere,or use stickers,write the g.u.s.t. on ur board,word of mouth,use our banners which can be found on our website at gustmd.tripod.com there are plenty of choices for everyone we will also put ur support on our website! if u got it on ur board or spraypainted it somewhere or got stickers or wearing the shirts WE WANT TO SEE and they will be on our website at gustmd.tripod.com!

13.where are your products made? in the good ole u.s.a ON THE EAST COAST!!!. i dont outsource stuff like alot of skate companies cause outsourcing means stuff is made overseas and sent here and is lower quality (crap) (like shoes and pencils for example) i believe in keeping products american made and so does the i.a.s.c. which i strongly believe in!

14. i am a major skateboard company and am interested in carrying your product or sponsoring one of your riders! get at me and we will talk business!

15.will i be in videos and/or mags? there is nothing in this world but possibilities

16.why do u not accept add requests from guys,bands,or non full skate companies? because i talk to guys all day long and most of them i have on other accounts and girl skateboarders is my target audience and the market im into...and no i am not sexist or an a**hole this is not about bands it is about strict skateboarding and nothing more and nothing less! so only girl skateboarders and skate companies will be on here! i run a tight ship!

17. do you have any riders? yes we do! we have three 3 riders named "styles" from md,amelia from az and jasmine from md!

18.do i have to jump down 50 stairs or so to get on the team? no however if u want to see what kind of talent im looking for just look at the vvc vid getting nowhere faster or AKA: GIRL SKATER to get a good idea of what i want!

19. will the g.u.s.t. skate co ever make a video? haha well im not going to rule it out but there is sooooooooo much f*cking work to get a video made such as getting footage from riders,then editing (the worse part of all),and getting the dvds pressed and stuff so i dont know but it could happen in the future u will just have to wait it out and see! it would be rad though!

20. what is the story with boards and wheels etc? well boards are a good possibility i been recently looking at manufacturing companies of course before boards come out we would have to do some r&d with them before they get released to the public! and as for wheels i have recently (as of 8-14-07) checked into them but im pretty f*cking picky about wheels so alot of r&d would go into them and i only get american made shi*t. pretty good chance that what u have under ur feet is chinese made and im not down for that lower quality bullshi*t!id rather spend alot of money on quality products then spend less money and have ppl come back to me and tell me my shi*t sucks! i want to do the best i can to provide the best quality stuff! it isnt easy having a skate company but u can probably expect wheels for all terrain! and will come in colors! expect to possibly see gust boards and wheels in our 2008 line! if u want to see a mock up of our boards and wheels check out our photo section in the first folder!

21. can i link your website/myspace on my site/myspace? duh of course u can! feel free to plaster that shi*t anywhere and everywhere! just let us know!

22. is there a set trick list to get sponsored? NO! just be a good well rounded skateboarder like u see in vids as i said before good transition skills (grinds to fakie,fliptricks to fakie,properly done grabs (no floating..good popped ollie grabs)and stalls like blunts and disasters and flip tricks to stalls and/or grinds,flip tricks and stuff down stairs (5 steps and above) and tech tricks on ledges,tricks on banks such as fliptricks to fakie and shi*t like that! i dont think i can be anymore obvious if u have watched any skate vids at all then u should know what a good skater is!

23. i live in so so and there arent really any comps here? ny,md,fla,ca,pa are the biggest places for comps u should go out and travel to contests cause it helps u get recongized and gets your's and our names out there and ppl will want to buy our shi*t if u do good!

24.where can i send my video? u can send your video to either our myspace inbox or to our office in maryland it is your choice!

25. i already have a certain sponsor (i.e. clothing,board,wheels,etc)? well this is kind of tricky regardless u will get our shirts and stickers but if u have a board sponsor or wheel sponsor then that means u wont get wheels or boards from us unless u quit ur current board/wheel sponsor! it is just the way things go! sorry....

26. is there a age limit to skate for the company? no!

My Blog: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS!
By: gust._skate_co

1.what is the g.u.s.t.? the girls united skate team or g.u.s.t for short is the first and only female skateboarding company to ever hit maryland!

2. what is the g.u.s.t about? the g.u.s.t. is about bringing the female skateboarding scene together and closer and to spread the awareness that we are out there and we rule and we will not be taken lightly!

3. is this just a skate crew? no this is a full blown skateboard company!

4. do you have products? we have a spring product line with 2 shirt graphics and various colors to choose from with the price of $17.99 plus five dollars shipping anywhere in the united states! and we also have stickers that are 8.5 inches long and sell for $1.50 each!

5. how did you get involved in the female skate scene? this is a funny story...i was playing tony hawk's pro skater 1 and the first person i beat it with was elissa steamer and i got really stoked and that started to get me involved into female skateboarders and thus i been helping out the scene ever since and in '06 i decided that the female skateboarding scene needed a new real company that promotes their girl riders unlike other companies who do not promote their female riders...my work began in 01 when i started to help with xgirlsport.com(online female skateboarding zine that is now defunct) and after the owner moved to spain i was dissapointed cause i was really stoked and wanted to keep it going and i felt empty so i decided this should fill the void!

6. why distinguish female skaters as female skaters and not just skaters? good question! as i see no gender since i am a feminist i believe that girls in general do not get the credit they deserve and it is just the same as saying hey look at that purple smurf walking down the street. it is just a way to describe someone no disrespect intended it is just a adjective.

7.what does the girls united skate team co make? right now shirts which cost $17.99 with five dollars shipping and stickers that cost $1.50 SO BUY BUY BUY!

8.can i be sponsored by your company? u can but rather i let u on is a different story haha with this team even though it is based in dundalk,maryland i have riders from other states because i want to expand the movement to the four corners of the united states and inbetween i am ALWAYS on the look out for girls from maryland which is my main focus! i really want to build up a team of md girls which is hard to do since there are not many here that skate! but i do not have a problem with sponsoring ppl out of state.

9.how do i get sponsored? u can get on by making sure u are one of those skaters who are constantly pushing urself to the limits and progressing every single time u go out and having a positive attitude and no negativity,u must also be able to skate all terrain I DO NOT ACCEPT GIRLS WHO ONLY SKATE ONE THING! i demand that my riders be able to skate everything which means but not limited to ditches,rails,steps,ledges,mini ramp,banks,ski jumps,flat ground and so on! if u dont understand what i mean take a look at the skating of vanessa torres,elissa steamer,jamie reyes,lauren mollica,monica shaw etc etc AND I ALSO EXPECT FOR U TO REPRESENT AT CONTESTS,LOCAL SKATESPOTS,MYSPACE AND EVERYWHERE ELSE U GO the more u promote ur sponsor the better things will be for u product wise and the better the mood u put me in!.also a video of some sort helps as well! pics will not be good enough. i expect a classic sponsor me vid rather it be vhs or dvd i cant accept any other formats but those 2 and u must film once in awhile and take photos! traveling is not neccessary but it helps both me and u in the long run!

10. what do i get when im on? u get whatever we make! however dont expect to be getting 20 or 30 shirts a month cause that is just impossible cause i must also sell shirts as well so be thankful for what u get!

11. what is the policy with flowing riders? i dont believe in flow!

12. what can i do to help spread the word of the g.u.s.t. movement? u can spraypaint a logo somewhere,or use stickers,write the g.u.s.t. on ur board,word of mouth,use our banners which can be found on our website at gustmd.tripod.com there are plenty of choices for everyone we will also put ur support on our website! if u got it on ur board or spraypainted it somewhere or got stickers or wearing the shirts WE WANT TO SEE and they will be on our website at gustmd.tripod.com!

13.where are your products made? in the good ole u.s.a ON THE EAST COAST!!!. i dont outsource stuff like alot of skate companies cause outsourcing means stuff is made overseas and sent here and is lower quality (crap) (like shoes and pencils for example) i believe in keeping products american made and so does the i.a.s.c. which i strongly believe in!

14. i am a major skateboard company and am interested in carrying your product or sponsoring one of your riders! get at me and we will talk business!

15.will i be in videos and/or mags? there is nothing in this world but possibilities

16.why do u not accept add requests from guys,bands,or non full skate companies? because i talk to guys all day long and most of them i have on other accounts and girl skateboarders is my target audience and the market im into...and no i am not sexist or an a**hole this is not about bands it is about strict skateboarding and nothing more and nothing less! so only girl skateboarders and skate companies will be on here! i run a tight ship!

17. do you have any riders? yes we do! we have three 3 riders named "styles" from md,amelia from az and jasmine from md!

18.do i have to jump down 50 stairs or so to get on the team? no however if u want to see what kind of talent im looking for just look at the vvc vid getting nowhere faster or AKA: GIRL SKATER to get a good idea of what i want!

19. will the g.u.s.t. skate co ever make a video? haha well im not going to rule it out but there is sooooooooo much f*cking work to get a video made such as getting footage from riders,then editing (the worse part of all),and getting the dvds pressed and stuff so i dont know but it could happen in the future u will just have to wait it out and see! it would be rad though!

20. what is the story with boards and wheels etc? well boards are a good possibility i been recently looking at manufacturing companies of course before boards come out we would have to do some r&d with them before they get released to the public! and as for wheels i have recently (as of 8-14-07) checked into them but im pretty f*cking picky about wheels so alot of r&d would go into them and i only get american made shi*t. pretty good chance that what u have under ur feet is chinese made and im not down for that lower quality bullshi*t!id rather spend alot of money on quality products then spend less money and have ppl come back to me and tell me my shi*t sucks! i want to do the best i can to provide the best quality stuff! it isnt easy having a skate company but u can probably expect wheels for all terrain! and will come in colors! expect to possibly see gust boards and wheels in our 2008 line! if u want to see a mock up of our boards and wheels check out our photo section in the first folder!

21. can i link your website/myspace on my site/myspace? duh of course u can! feel free to plaster that shi*t anywhere and everywhere! just let us know!

22. is there a set trick list to get sponsored? NO! just be a good well rounded skateboarder like u see in vids as i said before good transition skills (grinds to fakie,fliptricks to fakie,properly done grabs (no floating..good popped ollie grabs)and stalls like blunts and disasters and flip tricks to stalls and/or grinds,flip tricks and stuff down stairs (5 steps and above) and tech tricks on ledges,tricks on banks such as fliptricks to fakie and shi*t like that! i dont think i can be anymore obvious if u have watched any skate vids at all then u should know what a good skater is!

23. i live in so so and there arent really any comps here? ny,md,fla,ca,pa are the biggest places for comps u should go out and travel to contests cause it helps u get recongized and gets your's and our names out there and ppl will want to buy our shi*t if u do good!

24.where can i send my video? u can send your video to either our myspace inbox or to our office in maryland it is your choice!

25. i already have a certain sponsor (i.e. clothing,board,wheels,etc)? well this is kind of tricky regardless u will get our shirts and stickers but if u have a board sponsor or wheel sponsor then that means u wont get wheels or boards from us unless u quit ur current board/wheel sponsor! it is just the way things go! sorry....

26. is there a age limit to skate for the company? no!

Whats New!: New York Trip - Aug. 20th, 07
By: HomegrownSkateboards

Words and photos: Scott McClellan

    A few weeks ago a bunch of us packed up our passports and bottle openers and decided to drive down from the big smoke to the big apple to do a little bit of that good stuff called skateboarding. Five short days later we were back, but we returned with a heap of stories and a little bit of footage. The following is none of that, but instead just a brief glimpse at some of the down time between awesomeness. Enjoy.

    <-- Lookin’ hard just comes easily to some. It seems these guys struggle with it more than most. From Brooklyn; Manhattan island, Bud Patterson, Joey Maher, Nik Sexton, Nacho and Ian St. Aubin.

    Stuff you’d expect to see in NYC that’s not the Empire state building, the Statue of Liberty or some guy getting jacked on the corner (we did get to see those things too). --->

    <--Nacho, Nick Wilton and his girlfriend Leiko all happened to be in town the same weekend that we were. Pretty sweet timing. They were there to see the Wu Tang play and Nacho also came to take naps at all of New York’s famous skate spots. He did a pretty good job of it too. Here he dreams of someday being on top of the world.

Bud and Joey take a minute between awesomeness. Nacho naps behind a pillar while Joey tries to remember if he turned the stove off before he left the country. -->

   <--- Forget sleep walking, Nik would sleep skate all night long. It was pretty rad at first but got kinda old around 6:30am when you’re trying to sleep and he keeps landing on you.

Ian St. Aubin: Alley-oop flip. ---->

My Blog: no ordinary christmas
By: neurotically_yours

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!
woohoo its christmas, and im sure you all are happy about opening presents, and talking about the awesome gifts you got and all that. GUESS WHAT I GOT!!! come on guess, i bet you anything you cant guess it. i got *drum roll* NOTHING!!!! that is right, i got nothing. and for those of you saying, "oh well that sucks", f*ck you all. i bet you anything, you all got cool gifts and some shi*t like that, but i got nothing for christmas, and i f*cking LOVE IT!!! the only presents that were in my hands today, were the ones i was GIVING. thats the problem with people now a days. everyone is so f*ckin selfish and they dont realize it. i mean, anyone who is reading this is probably fortunate enough to even have a computer/laptop in their possession. but i bet you all anything that there was people out in the world who got a computer and they wont give it up to someone. why? because they are selfish. i got a laptop yeah, and i wont give it away. first, id trade the laptop i have now, for another one, and give the new one away. yeah, thats the kind of person i am. people dont realize that this time of year isnt about recieving. but thats all they care about. i dare any of you to give away everything you have just gotten for christmas. youre probably saying no, but thats because youre f*ckin dumber then a box of rocks. i am a girl who loves christmas, and this year i havent gotten a thing. i love it. i got to spend time with my family, and i gave stuff away that i bought, and i could have kept for myself, because hell, i liked these things, but i didnt. it was like "here you go, merry christmas!" i feel so good about myself. but i do dare any of you to give away what you just got for christmas. but, i bet you anything you wont.
