Go and Give!

Last week is a blur. I meant to talk about Hall of fame?, Damn Am?, Rumble in Ramona?
Whatever it's over. I did happen to steal some photos from Dawes
blog spot
God knows I can't get any directly from him.

Crum

Lance is en fuego!

Holmes blasting.

After the Rumble K-Dub drove the Truck back to roost in Production.
She looks great on the outside, but smells like shit on the inside!

Next item of Business. Got 2 completely different Art dudes to do T's for Indy. Be on the look out for
Neckface

and Andy Mueller

Be on the hunt for these beauties. You can also check out this NHS thing . That was for my man JK.

On the Not so Fun Board front. MarMar
Marty
Took it apon himself to make a shape. I get any proceeds made from this item or you will be hearing from my Lawyers!
While we are on the subject of Fun boards. Bomb rough cut.

Video soon!

Next,
Time to throw up some picts of people that "get it"
Tattoo picts come in all day long!

Charles getting gnarly at the boardroom

Last thing. I gotta say that " The Novak" is an interesting fellow.

perhaps the most interesting man in the World!
A 5 min. encounter yielded a story about him Managing a Folk band in the 60's, turning down a chance at Woodstock.Instead, flying over to Italy to work on a Fellini film while dating Clint Eastwoods secretary. Oh yeah, He also invented weed. I am going to start recording this shit! Rich, hit me up if you want a full time Biographer.

This weekend in Ramona Creature/ Thrasher present
the Rumble! Beers, Boards, Bands, and Bitches, everything you could ever want.

On the Creature tip. Our man Rick is here finishing up the Blood Shed
He had to escape from LA to come live on our mini ramp for 2 weeks to finish this sucker.
This shit is going to be epic.

screen zone out

Lee and Rick

Ricks home in the Rafters.
If this was N.Y. this place would go for $1200 a month.

Other news. Our man Suski has a interview over at muddy roots



Here is something that I am really hyped on. Final came in today and it looks F#@king great!

The Burnside replica box. Portions of the sale goes to help keep
Burnside doing what they are doing. Look for future projects with FDR and Washington St.

The last little something for you. I am thinking about starting my own line of Fun Boards like Santa Cruz

Wow! What a gnarly, dirty weekend it's been. Day and night sessions going down at the "by now" buried Buena pool. Check out some shots.

Late Friday night session. As empty as it ever was.


Lives and dies and is reborn again.

what you're working with!

crowd was getting rowdy!
Such a crazy once in a life time event. I don't know how they pulled it off, but it was gnarly! So many rippers and SC classics.

One of my favorite stories comes from Dem Indiana Boyz who slept in this tent next to the bowl for 48 hours.

They got a 6am skate wake up call from a Mr. Jason Jessee. Who slipped in a early morning private session. Rolled in solo, ripped it up and then disappeared into the woods without his skate, never to be seen again. The legend continues.
Check out some video at Thrasher and over at Santa Cruz
Much more to come so keep your eyes peeled.
One last thing.
When we say GUARANTEED FOR LIFE! We mean it!

This truck is over 20 years old and it came it to Chris in Warranty.
Guess what, new set of Indy's , no questions. FOR LIFE!

Couple of things. Don't forget. Wait, Sorry Never Forget Tim Brauch
11th Annual contest this weekend @ both the Scotts Valley Park (Street) and @ S.J.'s Cunningham park (Bowl). Tim ruled. Wait Tim still rules.



Also this weekend is the Vans downtown showdown
in L.A. Lots to do and see this weekend. Get out there and check some shit out.

Got a little separated at birth shot for you.

Darren is going to be bummed, or maybe he's stoked? to look like the Night Stalker.
The chicks dig that scary shit.
Speaking of Darren he happens to be in the building with P-Stone and Gravette. Lee and the boys are doing some hardcore editing for this coming Creature video. Must have gotten a little weird last night.
I came in this morning and the place smelled like Salamie and Beer.
Looks like some tattoos were given and perhaps some Clorox got smoked.
Nobody came in until mid afternoon and they all had dark glasses on inside.
This video might be pretty F'n heavy in some places. Hold on tight.

Last little morsel. The next installment of
Stories from the Fun Factory This one comes from our Buddy Ron Whaley. Enjoy.

A little something for the weekend. Ready to go skate some fresh construction over at the Boardroom. They got a skate jam on Saturday. Rumor has it they got some $$$ on the line for biggest ripper! Come on down and step up.

Now for something I have wanted to do for awhile. There are so many weirdoes and deviants working/ hanging around here. I thought I would collect some of there favorite NHS stories in there own words. Every week or so I will post one up for your consumption. First up long time employee/ team rider/ rad dude, Mr. Dave Freil.

PRESS THIS SHIT!

Here is a little item that I have heard rumor of for many years.



We need one of these beauties here at the NHSinked. We'll trade you out some trucks?
Thanks Mike for sending this in.
And while I'm thanking everybody, Thanks Marty
O.K. time to go. Later!

Gotta list of congratulations to hand out here. First up Big Al P. and his lovely lady Amanda got hitched last week in Vegas.


They stopped thru today on there way up to Spa out in Napa.

Speaking of Napa. Our very own Jordon took the plunge this weekend.

Doctored File photo
And the Web Wizard cast his spell and was born a baby boy!

Good Luck to all!

...But first, I don't know if you've heard?

Let our own K-Dub PROVE IT to ya!

Whole load of schizophrenic shit here so hold on. This beauty got sent my way.
That shit is nice and clean. Circles are hard ya'll.
Thanks Harold!
New NHSinked, well old ink that finally got finished.

Charles gets Trucks for life! for this one. I would like to say Thanks and Sorry.

Wherever Charles is there is sure to be Cooley. Here he is thinking about this one

He settled for this one.


A quick Happy- B-day to Gracie who turns 9.

I stole your shit Marty.You have lots of free time my man.
Somebody loves Lee??Always dropping his image in things. Freaky

Lee shot this little bad boy for us the other day.

Needless to say Denike is not happy about this one! So in response I have quickly put together this T.

It hurts doesn't it Eddie??!

Back to giving some shit away! Here is the deal, I'm tired and don't want to think. First person to e-mail me the correct answer will win some Independent Genuine Parts Bearing plus whatever random shit is laying around my desk. Here is the question. Who is doing the smith grind on the cover of the Built to Grind book? So easy.

Business first. In case you didn't know Mr. Chris Haslam has a new signature truck.
Click this shit right here to check out all the new trucks.

See the Dalai Lama gets it!

I feel like using the Dalai Lama in oils really captures Indy's more compassionate, understanding side. The World would really be a better place if we all just rode Indy's.
Thanks to Jason Arnold for capturing the feeling on canvas.

NHSinked is back up and running. Just finished this little doozie.


Wizard Beer Staff. The victim of this tattoo shall remain nameless. You know who you are.
Thanks for letting me give you your "official" shitty tattoo.
While we are on the subject of ink. I get a lot of Indy tattoos sent my way but by far this is the best one yet.


Have no fear there is a landing strip under that black bar. Thanks Kevin. 3 gold stars.

Onto some in-house news. The Web Dept. is having a Birthday week. Happy B-day goes out to Larson and little buddy Marty

I think they are expecting lots of people to show up, so get there early and bring gifts.

And on a sad note Mr. Imler had to be let go from the Art Dept. today. Actual he quit to move to Austin but NOBODY QUITS THE ART DEPT!!!!!!



Don't worry no Imlers were hurt. I'm just a Photoshop Wizard.
