Tomorrow night is New Years Eve. Before you go out and get totally wasted off STEEL RESERVE and Jose Cuervo with your friends in the middle of some desert, or before you put on your make-up, big baggy pants and home made JEWELRY for the massive RAVE dance that night, or before you cut your hair with a ruler, sport your shiniest shirt, and douse yourself with the most putrid smell of ENGLISH LEATHER, which your brother gave to your for Christmas for the SHINEY SHIRT CLUBS, make sure you stay home and pay your respects to one of skateboarding’s legends; sorry, i mean GODS, and check out FUEL TV’s “The Daily Habit” featuring Christian Hosoi. 

Christ Cote, still guest hosting the show, will have a nice chat with the legendary stylish skater.  Christian’s life has sure had its ups and downs and I’m sure he has plenty of knowledge he wants to share with everyone.  Especially you.  Especially since you like to wear those ugly SHINEY SHIRTS.  So give him a listen. 

The show airs tomorrow, Wednesday December 31st, at 9:00 PM.  Plus totally punk band Unwritten Law will be there to perform.  Also, Jordan Morris chills out with Mike Vallely, Mike Escamilla, and Rick Thorne on the set of the new movie, PAUL BLART: MALL COP. 

Everyone loves the 80’s.  Who doesn’t love that decade?  The music was awfully awesome, the films were carefree and light, and the style.  You can’t beat the style.  Everything from the JHERI CURL to the PANTS was fresh and that decade can never be duplicated again.  Even people who weren’t born in the 80’s love the 80’s.  Just look at all these skate rats with long hair and tight pants.  The 80’s was the decade when words like brah, gnarly, and bodacious was born.

Quiksilver All 80’s Vert Jam just went down this past weekend and it was a who’s who of 80’s skateboarding.  Back then, skateboarding took on a life of its own and it’s great to see a lot of the skaters of that era are still involved.  Everyone from Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Jeff Grosso, and Christian Hosoi were all present.  Check out the footage from Shred or Die and check out Concrete Jungle for more photos.

Imagine how you would feel if you could go back in time to the 80’s and see an art show featuring Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and David Hockney?  Or how about to the beginning of the last century and see an art show featuring Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, and Paul Cezanne?  Doesn’t resonate?  Okay, what if you’re into the art of magic and in one show, just one, you can see the likes of David Copperfield, Siegfried and Roy, and Chris Angel under one roof? 

Now you must understand the significance of this upcoming art show featuring Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, and Christian Hosoi.  On Saturday December 6th, Exit presents Movers & Shakers at the Salon Sessions Studios in Pasadena California.  The event takes place from 6PM – 11PM and you know it’s going to get packed so get there early.  Click Here for all the DETAILS

Unfortunately yesterday God was sad and began crying, causing a delay for the 5th Annual Etnies’ Goofy Vs. Regular competition in Lake Forest.  He probably saw O.J. Simpson was prosecuted for kidnapping and may get 15 years to life in prison.

Fortunately there were a couple events that were able to complete on Friday including the Etnies Girl’s Bowl Jam.  Julie Kindstrand took the title and it was possibly due to the fact she had skate punk band Los Olvidados playing in the background.  If it were me, I’d have Los Lobos.  They’re more political.

A couple of more Bowl Jams were completed as well including the Pro Bowl Jam and the Masters Bowl Jam.  And surprise, surprise Christian Hosoi is back and took the title.  I’m sure the entire skateboard community is happy about that one.  And I’m also sure God postponed his crying to allow Christian to skate.

For the Pro Bowl Jam, Kevin Kowlaski earned the title and the $3,000 first prize.  Jolan Johnson took second and Ben Rayburn third, respectively.  The action continues today and you can watch it live over at Reelcomp.com.  I’m exactly sure who’s winning but I think the Regulars have it with a Goofy’s a close second.  Mongo footers are in a non existent third.

Stunning archival footage and current HD interviews take you on a rollercoaster ride through heaven and hell, where the highs of championship trophies are followed by the ultimate lows of addiction, homelessness, prison and death. Original music by Grammy winners ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, P.O.D. and SWITCHFOOT along with some exciting new musical groups is perfectly married with the gritty narration of famed actor, DANNY TREJO. The rise is steep, the fall is brutal and the redemption nothing less than miraculous.

The event takes place at Active Ride Shop and presented by the Heritage Christian Fellowship on September 28th at 5PM-9PM.
