Hello my supporters, friends and family.

I hope all is good in the world of the living out there!
Yeah.. it's crazy, but hey, 'such is life'....as is such motivation!

Prayers go out to all the special people in our lives and the ones we miss in their passing!

It's been a few months longer than I anticipated, as far as, dropping in for an update.

Let's just say more is in the works than meets the eye. So stay tuned, as they say...as far as,
the now is concerned,

• The guest model that 'BULLDOG SKATES' has so graciously bestowed upon me, is now available! Basically, I did some artwork and a pool shape for the Godfather of sk8! Sir Wes Humpston. An honor and a pleasure, to say the least! Regardless, they went on sale May 2nd @ 5pm and seem to be going fast. The mok-up of this board is on your left. Here is the link if you are interested :

• Also, the 'SKATER MADE' line and films are now being distributed through DEFENDER DISTRIBUTION (amongst the others already carrying the product). For any serious distribution inquiries please contact Brent Callahan through e-mail at: brent@defender-dist.com or click on the link at our skatermade.com website.

• ERIC DRESSEN's limited guest 'SKATER MADE' pro model is still available while supply lasts. I'll send you a free 'SKATER MADE' t-shirt with each board order(specify size and get more for your $). Also, Jr. Mint 'lil'ripper boards are coming in pink for the authentic girl look color scheme-age. Look for those to be out this summer.

• In "STC" news, 5 chapters have been edited so far. Updates will continue as they evolve.

• I'm going to update some newer art and more recent info. real soon. Just getting around to those details, as they stock pile.

Parting thoughts for this installment....please, look to your right. This is a custom shop board for my friend Kevin @ Routes in dwntwn L.A.
