<description><![CDATA[Not much news about a bunch of people getting drunk, but whenever Chico Brenes does something, it's smooth as always, not least the release of a new shoe on DVS. Last weekend, Brenes' friends came out to celebrate the roll-out of his new shoe with a load of free Tecate at the Silverlake divebar, the Cha Cha Lounge. Check the pictures below.

	<title><![CDATA[Nike Bonus Debacle #2]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[There's something to be said for Occam's Razor when it comes to skate videos. That's not to say that all videos must be whittled down to the most short and slim version, but when there's nothing else to say and you just put in stuff because you can't figure out what to cut, it waters down all the rest. So, with that in mind, everything in Nike's am video, "Debacle," hit the mark in "short and sweet"-ness. What's left seems to have been separated out into more than one bonus section of clips. The...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Rick McCrank, the clean, Canadian, vegetarian, father and unexplicably skilled skateboarder, had a sweet part in the video "Revolution" during the second incarnation of Plan B, but really made a big name for himself with the opener in Birdhouse skateboard's "The End." He really hasn't stopped since (see Menikmati, "Yeah Right!" after his switch over to Girl Skateboards in 1998, skating at Tampa Pro '07, his "AntiSocial" video part, his part in the often overlooked "éSpecial" video and a lot more...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Battle at the Berrics 2 came to a close this weekend with a nail-biter of an ender. If you're a loyal Berrican, you held on with bated breath to see the final after two days. If you've concerned yourself with something else instead of visiting The Berrics every ten minutes, then here's what you missed: Redemption Round Bracket A, Redemption Round Bracket B, Redemption Finals between Greg Lutzka and Jimmy Carlin (which also included the forced dismissal of Boosh after he screamed "K-Swiss" as...]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Rollin' With Sean Malto]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[When I hear people doubt the abilities of skaters in the middle of the country, I get bummed. I grew up in the Midwest, after all. But, with harsh winters, rough spots and humid summers, sometimes I'm led to ask myself how someone like Malto, for example, or Davis Torgerson, got so damn good. I doubt anyone will ever know for sure why, but taking a look at what they grew up skating is a good way. In that case, watching Sean Malto roll through his hometown helps explain it a little bit. Take a look...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With everyone talking about Cory Kennedy's almost-landed super trick (which he's dubbed, the Merlin Twist), I got Cory on the phone to explain the maneuver for less technical thinking skateboarders. In his own words: "Your back foot is in the switch bigspin position. And you put your front foot pretty much on the nose. Then just scoop it really hard. Then, I don't know, dip your front foot down to whip the board around and then kinda hope you land it (laughs). I'm not very good at explaining."Well,...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Matt Daughters wears a lot of hats over at Kayo Corp Distribution, not least of which is the photographer that shoots photos from Walker Ryan to Karl Watson, taking pictures for Expedition-One, Gold Wheels, Organika and DGK. He also handles most of the team management duties, so, to him, much is owed. But, he is clearly grateful for the chance to capture some of skateboarding's best and most iconic. See the eye-catching photos of Kayo and crew (Andy Baumarchias is not on any Kayo teams, but he is...]]></description>

Somehow they got their hands on the newest Tech Deck toy and got little Jimmy Farnsworth shredding for the one eight&amp;#151Anti Hero. Also, they put up Tony Trujillo's newest ad and a trailer for the second Beauty and the Beast. Check it all here. Enjoy.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Carpet boarding has been a rainy day past time for skateboarders for years (see Joey Brezinski here), so with the release of Tony Hawk's newest videogame, 'Ride,' he's expanded on that idea. The board controller is like a real board, but with an accelerometer and sensors.Nothing will replace real skateboarding, but on a rainy day with your friends or at a sweet party, Tony Hawk's 'Ride' is a fun alternative. Jon Robinson, sat down with Tony Hawk to ask him some questions about the video game. Take...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Perhaps pushed off my radar by the premiere of Zero's "Strange World" video and the Johnny Romano Skate Jam in Houston, the opening of Skateistan's Skate Hall, the largest indoor sports facility and skatepark in Kabul, Afghanistan, is of equal importance (if not more), even though many of us might feel far removed from Kabul by distance or an inability to understand the events transpiring there. In a place often overrun by chaos, corruption and a lack of accountability, the skate hall is an important...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A few years back, before Frank Gerwer was known as the comical, loveable dirtbag that he is now, he made the seemingly odd transition from The Firm to Anti Hero, much to the confusion of many, not because people thought he was bad or anything, but because they didn't know just how well he could fit (see Cash Money Vagrants) or didn't know much about him, period.From Long Island, NY, the large-schnozzed street skater that spent a lot of time in fisherman hats during  the nineties and also somehow...]]></description>
