posted Tuesday, November 10th, 2009With Black Box picking up the US distribution of Insight clothing earlier this year, it comes as no surprise that Jamie Thomas is now sporting Insight threads. Do you think The Chief needed approval to get on the team? Probably. But it doesn’t matter, he’s Jamie Thomas, winner of San Diego’s Entrepreneur of the Year in 2006 and from the looks of it, Insight51 is hyped to have Mr. Thomas on the team. Check out the welcome video below and more Insight clothing at Tactics.

éS One Skate Shoes
posted Tuesday, November 10th, 2009First they were produced by éS. Then Lakai had their own take on it for a hot minute. But now, éS has reclaimed the classic silhouette and has released the One, a vulcanized version of the classic Koston 1 skate shoe.
Why the “One”? Cause it’s the only skate shoe you’ll ever want to skate after slippin’ your grimey feet into these comfy sneakers. Updated with a vulcanized sole, the éS One will handle any and all abuse you could possibly throw at it. Originally released in 1997, this updated shoe deserves a spot next to any Nike SB or Supra collector shoe in your closet, so don’t wait to snatch a pair while they’re still here.
Skaters for Eugene Skate Park Silent Auction
posted Sunday, November 8th, 2009If you haven’t heard, the city of Eugene is in the process of building a world-class skatepark under the Washington-Jefferson bridge. This will provided the only covered, lit skatepark in Eugene and is much needed as most skating halts during the winter months in the Pacific northwest, where it can sometimes rain up to sixty days in a row.
The main organization behind the new skate park project is the Skaters for Eugene Skate parks. This past Friday, skaters from around the northwest donated painted decks to be auctioned off with all proceeds benefiting the new park. In addition to painted skateboards, there was also a surfboard painted by shop floor manager Eric Purdy. I even saw a Mikendo photo of Louie Barletta in the gallery. Pretty cool stuff.
Anyways, the event was great and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Except the one guy who started a fight. What’s up with that? It’s Skaters for Skate parks, not Bros for Boxing rings. Check the attitude at the door, A-Hole.
Check out YoBeat for more coverage and photos of the show below! A big thanks to everyone who came out and supported!
