WORLD AIDS DAY

Over 90,000 people are living with HIV in the UK and new infections continue every year. World AIDS Day 2010 is all about raising awareness to tackle HIV prejudice and help stop the spread of HIV.

In case you've been living under a rock for the past few years, many companies have joined forces with (RED) to create limited edition products. (RED) is a business model created to raise awareness and money for the Global Fund by teaming up with some of the world's most highly sought-after brands to produce (PRODUCT)RED branded items. Each (PRODUCT)RED item sold goes directly to the Global Fund to invest in African HIV/AIDS programs, with a focus on women & children.



One of our favorite skate brands, The Girl Skateboard Co. (home to Eric Koston, Mike Carroll, Rickk Howard, etc.), is a proud partner; watch (SKATEPARK)RED here http://www.crailtap.com/c3/feature_features/red_videos/skatepark_red.html.

NEW BLOOD...

There isn't much that gets me excited about skateboarding nowadays. With all of your Street Leagues, Fantasy Factories, & Battles at the Berrics' it's easy to forget that skateboarding is about having fun. I can't tell you how many times I've sold a kid his first skateboard and the first words out of his mouth are "How do I get sponsored?" When I was a kid we didn't skate because we thought we were going to become millionaires doing it. We skated because it was fun as hell! These two videos reminded me of that today.

The first one is 8 year old Jackson Janney blasting ollies down the triple set in Adams Morgan. Jackson has been coming to the shop since we opened. I get stoked watching him skate now.



The next video was shot by a homie that came out to the "OH OKAY" Duke Street demo. We've all seen Damer and Gregoire rip demos. I love watching those dudes skate, but it makes me stoked to see some of the new guys on the team ripping too!



We've got one more demo left in the series. Coming up on Halloween at Bridge Spot. Hope to see you out there!
