RVCA Skate Team In Victorville This Weekend

Me — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 03:09:08 +0000

If you’re a big boxing fan, then you know that this is a big weekend for the sport. The GOLDEN BOY, Oscar De La Hoya will be moving down one weight class while Filipino boxer Manny PAC MAN Pacquiao will be moving up two weight classes at 147 lbs for what might be one of the biggest and most exciting fights in the history of the sport. I’ve been really gearing up for this one. For the past week I’ve been watching my entire boxing film collection: Diggstown, The Calcium Kid, Teen Wolf Too. You know how I roll. Really put an effort to watch the CALCIUM KID though. It’s a very rare art house indie flick starring a young Orlando Bloom in one of his first films.

Well if you’re rolling down to Vegas from Los Angeles this weekend, then I’ll see you there. But on the way, try to make a stop in the lovely and very exciting city of Victorville, California. The RVCA team will be visiting Pharmacy store in the Victorville Mall on Saturday, December 6th.

Come out to meet Leo Romero, Kevin “Spanky” Long, Josh Harmony, Austin Stephens, Ed Templeton, Keegan Sauder, Cairo Foster, and Julian Davidson. And if the weather permits, they will even put on a little session for you kiddies. If I make it, I’m going to try to pick up some RVCA Mixed Martial Arts FIGHTING SHORTS. Those things are tight.

Toy Machine Gets Down On Halloween With A Demo

Me — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 02:53:07 +0000

The Toy Machine Halloween Demo was the coolest and quirkiest Halloween parties of the year at Active in San Dimas. The entire team showed up in full gear head to toe with some of the most amazing costumes you could imagine. We’re not talking those crappy costumes you buy from the supermarket either. These things were top notch.

So who showed up? We saw Ed Templeton, Josh Harmony, Nick Trapasso, Billy Marks, Johnny Layton, Austin Stephens, Matt Bennett, Grant Hatfield, Rob Straser, and more Toy Machine rippers. Go over to the Active site to check out one of the hundred photos that were snapped on Halloween. You’ll notice Billy Marks came as Darth Vader, Ed Templeton came as a cop with a nice tear in his crotch, Johnny Layton was a Mexican drunk, and look at the photos to see what your other favorites came as. Also, the Tapatio guy won the best costume contest and landed himself a hooked up Toy Machine package. Check out the video below.

Toy Machine Halloween Signing

Mike — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 07:13:23 +0000

I can feel that Halloween is right around the corner. The crisp Fall air is almost intoxicating. What am I talking about? I don’t know about you but it’s hot as hell outside for me in Los Angeles. Yesterday it was about 93 degrees in the Valley. Yes, 93. And today was a bit overcast but it seems that the clouds just trapped the hot air inside the atmosphere making it feel like an oven outside. This sucks. When is it going to get cold already?

Anyway Toy Machine will at least do their part by sharing this October 31st (Halloween) by having a team demo and signing at Active San Dimas. The festivities begin at 4PM and will go till 6PM. The flyer says to make sure to wear your Halloween costumes. I’m actually an expert at good costumes so here are some suggestions to you kids out there that might want to impress the Toy Machine Team.

1. Bilbo Baggins
2. A piece of poo
3. The Olsen Twins
4. G.G. Allin
5. Tony Little

Embrace my suggestions and be there at the demo to impress Billy Marks, Ed Templeton, Johnny Layton, Nick Trapasso, Josh Harmony, Matt Bennett, and Austin Stephens. And don’t miss the premiere of Flim’s Hail Skatan!
