SKATEJAWN VIDJAWN from Skate Jawn on Vimeo.
Last night I missed out on a very impromptu Skate Jawn video premiere. To say the least, I'm bummed but just because I missed out on it doesn't mean you should. Much of my homies can be found fucking shit up in this video and had I not been busy writing reviews, I probably would've tried to get a front nose in this video or something. With the recent uproar of independent film makers, this Skate Jawn video can please everyones musical & skating pallet. It's got everything from The Who to Cam'Ron & anything else you can imagine in it. Watch this & go roll, it's a perfect way to start this week.

Coming this week, The DC Centric S review & coincidentally a blast into the past.

When asked about his favorite shoe on the board, Michael Bloomberg simply said "Accels baby, Accels."

Admittingly, we've know about this eS eBay store for about two weeks now. It was in our best interest to try & buy everything before posting & promoting it here but we ain't caking' it that hard right now. Unfortunately, RLs came short on the forbes list this year but we'll get em' next year. Surprisingly though, Mexico is on top of their game, while the closest Billionaire in our vicinity is in twentieth place. You think MB has a special place in his heart for nostalgic, limited skateboarding footwear? If so, he needs to come through and invest because I predict a huge turn over for eS memorabilia 5 years down the line. Invest, triple OG OG OG. Btw, seen his pro model yet?

Earlier this year we attended Agenda for the 1st time and popped our cherries. Sure enough, we were excited as a "little girl flicking her bean for the first time" to get this opportunity and to be rubbing elbows with the finer companies in skateboarding.

This year was no different. Sure, this little girl has a deeper voice and some hair on her lips but we still get as tingly as ever when Agenda comes to town. If you've been checking out this site/blog/shitter, you'll know that we had a number of Agenda articles in the beginning of this year. They all had a number of photos leaking what you could expect from these companies in the coming season.

So....now that you're all caught up, let's give you sknerds what you've been waiting for. We're starting off with DVS. After dropping Lakai from Podium this year, I'm sure DVS is as concentrated as ever to bring the brand back where it needs to be. The booth had a very uplifting catalog this year but my main focus was on a huge contender for S.O.T.Y., Torey Pudwill.


The Torey 2 is a completely different and refreshing look from DVS. Compared to his first shoe, the Torey 2 is a low profile shoe with maximum boardfeel and flexibility. This particular model is a DVS/PLAN B collaboration. It features custom artwork, suede/canvas upper and round cotton laces to give the Torey 2 a nice polished look. A nice new fad in skateboarding nowadays is bringing back the "bumper" patch. The Torey 2 follows suit but should offer something more considering it's extremely lightweight. The shoe finishes with a Non-slip vulcanized outsole and a molded EVA footbed. I have yet to review a DVS shoe but this one look's like it'll be our first.

DVS/The Berrics collaboration, The Torey. dropping Spring 2012.

Above is a shoe that has already been released but with this kick-ass colourway. You might have a recollection of seeing this one, it's from TPud's Battle Commander. Apparently, DVS and The Berrics received so many emails about this Torey colourway that DVS went along and collaborated with The Berrics to release this once sample shoe to the public. If you skated the Torey's and loved them, be sure to pick this one up because it'll go fast.


Along with a bunch of others, I've got the Agenda: eS sneak peek for you this week so be sure to check back in.

Peace.

This was fire and all but I can think of a few other dudes that are missing from this. Burton Smith, Brian Brown....just to name a few.
