Definitely one of the more interesting people in skateboarding, Braydon Szafranski will be answering your questions through Active.  Now is your opportnity to pick apart one of your idol’s brains to see what he thinks about issues like the state of skateboarding today.  You can go to the Active Website to leave a few questions but it can’t be any later than November 10th.  Braydon’s response video will be posted within two weeks after that date.  Not only that, but the one who asks Braydon’s favorite question will receive an Emerica Prize Package.  

I’m sure that there are a million questions mangling your mind right now so let me offer you a moment of clarity to help boost your chances of getting your voice heard and perhaps getting you that Emerica package.  Here are a few suggestions.

1. Braydon, you have such a unique style especially with your tatts.  How much influence does Lil Wayne have on your style?
2. Do blondes really have more fun?
3. Since you’re such a party animal, what do you think are Cynthia McKinney’s chances at her run for presidency representing the Green Party?

But unfortunately for me, reading the flyer much closer I realized it wasn’t for music at all, but rather for skateboarding, which is still as cool.  The Baker Has a Deathwish skate tour is coming up next week as they take on twelve cities in about half a month for what should be a pretty hessianed out skate tour with some of the most eclectic group of lads ever.  This tour should not be missed so if you can make it out to one of the dates, then good luck to ya. 

I’m glad to see that Hessians are making a statement in today’s world, especially the skateboarding world.  It’s also great to see those who aren’t really Hessian at all broaden their horizons by taking part in Hessian wear and Hessian lifestyle.  It makes for a great mix of cultures; like the marriage of hip hop band Public Enemy and Hessian band Anthrax’s collaboration “Bring The Noise” .  Deathwish is finally here starring some of Baker’s finest Hessians, Jim Greco, Erik Ellington, Antwuan Dixon, Lizard King, and am’s Brian Hansen, and Ramiro Salcedo.  You can get the entire cool Deathwish product at your local skate shop.  The line looks pretty Hessian so get on it so you can soon be the coolest hessier on your street. 

Also, all of these dudes will be featured in the new promo video “Baker Has A Deathwish”, which will be out later this month.  But if you’re in NYC and have nothing better to do, you can check out the video early tomorrow outside the Supreme Store at 5PM or inside Max Fish at 8PM.  Check out the flyer below.

It reminds me of those billboards counting the rising national debt or how many people have died of smoking, etc. Kind of interesting for a few seconds, then your eyes sort of hurt.

The tour kicks off May 31 in Seattle with the Lakai team and runs through June 30 in Minneapolis with the Enjoi team. At the 10 stops in between stops will feature the Flip, C1RCA, Volcom, Element and Baker teams.  Each stop also features music from the likes of Alkaline Trio and Year-Long Disaster.
