I’ve savagely neglected updating the site and am very sorry. But…not insanely sorry due to the fact i’ve been making some pretty awesome shit for you guys. I’m currently in Europe making more and can’t wait to start jamming on even more shit when I (Brad Staba) get back home. I texted Plunkett asking him when he wanted to come to the Bay to start looking for an apartment and skate. He only responded with a photo of a guys broken wrist in the hospital and said “I’ve been busy all day”. Still never got a response on that date…DAN. Motta ended up in LA and managed to contribute to the Royal UN over at Erics Park. John also just wrapped up an interview for a magazine. Congrats to Shane on his above average skating in Brazil. Our Skatepark (Single Rock) in our warehouse is nearing completion and should be up and running next month with one of your favorite pro skateboarders kicking it off over on the Thrasher site. Stay tuned for more info on that. Were also in the process of putting together a little tour for August. Shane’s filming for two videos right now. One is the next Nike Video and the other…you’ll have to stay tuned for. We have a new online store as well so go buy something.

WOW

Well guys…enjoy yourself. CLICK HERE and make a list of what you’re going to buy.

SKATE MENTAL WEB STORE

Have a great weekend! 

Here’s a little video of Skate Mentals newest AM Tim Zom and the Benelux SB team on a little Trip. And this guy.

Thoughts go out to Justin Stone’s family & friends. And a big “suck my dick” goes out to the faggots who write comments on websites that contain nothing but negative shit. Shut your fucking mouths and man up to a persons face instead of trying to be an internet gangster.

I just got informed by Jim at DLX that there’s pictures of me on the chrome ball. Here they are. Thanks Jim.

You can now view all the new shit we have. Save up all your money and buy as much of it as you can.

First try Fridays with Shane.

Thanks to Kayo and everybody that made this happen. And to everybody who came out to the party. Check out the video. Make sure to get the DGK x SM product as well. Available through Kayo.

It’s been hectic over at Skate Mental. Sorry for the lag in posts. No real news besides Motta working on a part for Thrasher. Some other useless info like our website getting updated soon. Come to the Agenda and visit our booth. We’ll be next to Kayo to whom were sharing a party with. I guess the last news I have is that Plunkett is pro. No real fancy party where we surprise him and shower him with gifts. Riding for Skate Mental is a gift that keeps on giving…right Dan. Anyway, Dan is one of the best skaters i’ve ever watched skate. Boards in shops Febuary 1st! Happy new year fuckers!

Make sure to suck up the deals in the web store!  We got it for Cheap!  All decks $30 All tee’s $10. 
Sale goes through the weekend!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Skate Mental & DGK are having a party at Agenda January 5th in Long Beach. SM made a board and we have some other products together that will be available this Spring. No fucking tour, No photos of me wearing DGK gear throwing up a westside, No uncomfortable photos of Motta Standing next to Lenny Rivas. Just two companies that are better than most of the other ones out there having a good time. Shout out to Troy, Nick, Stevie and the rest of the KAYO building! It’s going to be a good one. Make sure to get your hands on this collection.

Plunkett doing some stuff he’s good at doing.

There’s going to be a pretty fucked up Skate Mental Video coming this spring. I’m not going to call it a “Skate Video”. But there will be skating in it, and everybody on the team will be featured.

If you do not know who Tim Zom is…you will soon. For those who know Tim and what he can do on a skateboard, get ready for a Tim Zom part brought to you by Skate Mental. Details on where you can view it and when will be coming sooner than later. Fuck yeah Tim and fuck yeah Holland! Will there be a Brad Staba part in the next Nike video?

I guess were making a video. Right guys? TF being built this week at Skate Mental? Plunkett going ape shit in Buffalo? Nugget Twittering? Motta ruling it? Beach lost? Durrant skating? Staba typing…

Watch Jake and Dan get all Chaw. And some contest shit over at DLX. And support Sunday Skate Shop!!!

In case you missed it. Which 99% of you probably did. Here’s the Skate Mental Commercial we made for Shane that played on ESPN during Street League.

The Fall Catalog is up. It’s better than 90% of the stuff out there. So take your time and suck it all in. Your welcome.

Here’s some fine skating by the Skate Mental team. Beach going Japan to ur fucking neck!! Thanks Finland!

Make sure to watch Street League this Sunday to catch Shane skate and also to see the Skate Mental Commercial we made for ESPN at 5-7pm ET.

Were proud to announce Dennis Durrant now rides for one of the best companies on earth. He’s now in Finland with the rest of the team tearing Helsinki a new asshole. Stay tuned for his welcome ad in Thrasher next month. Congrats to the guy who found the Motta footage we put up a few months back. Nice to know there’s scavengers out there. Email me and i’ll send you a Motta board. And to answer some of your guys emails, John did have some Mental/Medical issues that he powered through. He’s now working on some new filming along with Plunkett and Dennis for a Skate Mental Spring video Project.

These guys think they have some cool tee shirt.

HAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAH

Check out Shane, Omar and Paul in China!

I think Beach, Durrant, Motta and Plunkett will be in Finland next week. Almost 100% sure of it.

Vote on the new poll and look for the Skate Mental Commercial for Shane we just finished for the last stop of Street League

Vote on the new poll and look for the Skate Mental Commercial for Shane we just finished for the last stop of Street League

A big thanks to all the accounts that came out to visit us at last weeks Agenda Show in HB. I hope you enjoyed our new Fall 11 stuff and want to buy a shit ton of it for your shop/s. HA! Was good being next to DLX as usual and also the usual hug from Meza was a treat. We’ll be releasing our Fall 11 line here toward the end of the month so stay tuned.

All I can say is that this shit is fucking amazing!!! Marty and John killed it!!!!!

Maybe this website want’s a pair of Heavy Mental Dunks I made 5 years ago. Or even the Heavy Mental Shirt I made 4 years ago. Let me know if you want some man. I also do consulting as well. Jack of all trades really. I’m sure the guy that does this is talented, cool, and has many friends. I just gotta call out things that are similar as I see them. Cool thing is that he has Seems Books in there! Go over to Seems and buy some books! Sorry, my zine is sold out. But there’s a good chance there’s a book coming out soon… right Nick! Maybe there’s room for Skate Mental x Heavy Mental Collab?

Congrats to Shane, Paul and Sheckler for killing it today in the Street League finals. If this kid wins another one of these things i’m going to punch my own face, upload it, and post a link in this news section.

In preparation for a re-stock of our online store. All boards are $30! There’s only 5 boards now…but there will be more soon. Oh, and these fucking boards are under 8” which is most likely why we still have them. But there’s going to be a shitload of shirts. Also some pretty awesome deals to go with them. I’m talking buy shit get shit free type shit. Maybe even buy some shit and get multiple shit free type shit!!

Congrats to Shane for making it to the finals at Street League tomorrow. If you’re not poor and have a TV with ESPN you should watch it.

Click on the Summer Catalog and enjoy!

Read this interview with Dan over at CCS!

Go over to Active and check me out! Then get the balls to make a graphic that you think is god enough to be produced and hang on a wall at a shop. Also when submitting graphics be sure to use original art. Photo’s from the internet will not be used. Photo’s must be self taken or art should be 100% original art. Have fun!

I made a new clock for Huf. Of course made for a specific demographic so people who talk shit about weed on stuff can chew on a ___________. And also prepare for more marijuana induced product in our fall line! Looks like Brian will be walking down the runway for FUBU!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

It’s coming soon my friends. Might even have a summer catalog for you guys? We’ve also been getting a lot of requests to re-issue some of our old tees that some of you never got a chance to get due to the small amounts made. Email us any requests and i’ll try my hardest to make some dreams come true.

I’m writing this post from one of the best cities on earth…Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Waiting for Plunkett to get here so he can rape the Amsterdam Am contest this weekend. Tim Zom will be holding it down for SM in Holland and Stefan, Grant and some other bro’s will be in attendance as well. More posts soon as well as a summer board blast coming shortly. And a Fall line to follow that will make people love and hate us all over again. If you haven’t seen the new TWS video yet you’re blowing it! Holy Nugget!!!

Kinetic is putting SM as their board of the month company! Go over there and buy the shit out of our shit and don’t be a dumb dick like some of those other dicks out there. Be a sharp and witty dick…they pull more trim.

Here’s a little interview with John.

Completely stoked to be on the wall over at The Armory. Get in there and get some goods.

Go over to NIKE and check out the video for Eric and his shoe. Shoe skates great and I want to give a congrats to Eric for his face fucking on a skateboard for so many years. Motta arriving in the bay in a few hours to join Plunkett who has been here shredding for the last 3 days.

Vote!

Have a fun night Nuggy! Can’t wait to see your part!

For those who thought Shane didn’t say much prepare yourselves. Berrics Street League text yourself.

Big, huge, virtual hug going out to my buddy Shane for getting second place in Seattle this weekend at Street League. Great job!

It’s like mad max over at my house. So why not get some bros over and add to the madness. Check it over at The Mag.

I’d like to give Jim and the Real Team applause for some amazing skateboarding in their new video. Mike Blabac has not changed one bit. Plunkett is here skating. Nugget is back from China where he was raping marble. Oh!!!!! Congrats to Shane for the Aus Skater Of The Year Award!!! Hands down well deserved!!! Excited to see this TWS Video.

Looks like after a Slap Message Board Thread, me putting him on blast, a call from Phelps, and potentially the fear of a large amount of the skateboard community not being too stoked on the guy. The Skatepark owner finally sent Brian his trophy back after having it for over a half a decade… if not more. Plunkett coming to the bay for a week of shred!! We’ll be hitting the streets up until the Real Video. Jim, look out your window… i’m in the silver Toyota.

Check out Zwarte Piet talk about a boob hanging in the right place over at Hypebeast. We have a Parra x Skate Mental board coming down the pipeline this year as well. Still trying to figure out how to make the board give you a hand job. Stay tuned.

Very proud of Shane for getting fourth place at Tampa Pro. If you ask me it was Shane for first and Erics fucking face for second. Also want to announce Eric Koston as the first rider for Lil Burro Water Co. Keep your eyes peeled for Lil Burro in 2011. Love you guys!!!!

I just got back from a week in a van in some states skating at my all time low on my skateboard. And didn’t post because I was shooting paint balls with a slingshot at most everything out of being sad that I haven’t been skating and am rusty like the cage Soundgarden wrote a song about. But those days will be over my friends. I will be upper decking in the very near future. In the meantime, watch a guy who makes skateboarding look like a walk in the park. Congrats to Shane for whooping on Darwan.

Check out this shit. Dan Cam is pretty tight. I love shit that looks like shit and all shitty but looks better than a bunch of other shit.

Once I find the login for Facebook were going to have a new person in charge of managing it. Here’s a few hints who it is. 1.) He rides for Skate Mental 2.) He’s a currently social networking wizard. Prepare for weekly contests and a shit ton of product giveaways!!

Here’s to show you it’s not all about those 30 stair bangers. One of my favorite skaters always taking things up a notch. Check this site out!

Here’s a link to the Elwood site here Dan is getting something.

One of best things about living in the San Francisco bay area…seeing this motherfucker pitch whenever I want.

Sorry for the lack of posts. I’ve been in Europe and now i’m back and will be updating the site like a motherfucker. The store is going to be quite priceless with the sales and new incentives going up next week. I also want to thank all of the international distributors for coming to Berlin to check out the new Skate Mental Spring 11 product. Always good to see you guys. Shane’s back in the states, Motta’s in a ditch, Plunkett’s wishing he was in a ditch and Beach is nowhere near a Beach. And I learned how to walk on water so it’s up to you guys to wrap your head around that. I smell a Thrasher x Skate Mental Collab coming soon.

Head over to the mag and check out Dan skate like no other. Scroll down and catch all the other features Thrasher blessed you with this week.

Stop by our booth this week!

Here’s some Elwood video. Dan and the bro’s ripping!

Motta part will be released early next year. It will be free, hosted here on the Skate Mental site, and will contain a ditch or two.

I’m updating the questions on the riders team pages. First one that got me their answers back was Shane. More new content & Web features will be flowing.

Some new photos of Motta on his team page. Be sure to check out the new issue of TheSkateboardmag and see Motta in Portugal. You can watch Shane do some new shit here.

A bunch of new shit was added to the online store. Help us make room for some new stuff. We’ll be adding new items a lot more often as well as limited items and sales!! Free shit!! Watch!! Don’t challenge me.

We get a handful of emails weekly asking us if Nike owns Skate Mental. Nike does not own Skate Mental. I’m pretty sure if Nike owned us we would eating much finer food and would be driving Stretched Hummers with Titties surrounding us. Those boxes at the baseball game that have food and those good views. Wiping our asses with hundred dollar bills. You get the picture. 

Just plain good. Why? Because I said so. This too.

Check a bunch of dudes busting out and me busting out to the Giants game confusing people weather to Listen to Lil Wayne or not or break your board on purpose. There’s just those days you have to turn into the jock you always hated in school. So in that case… do I punch my own face? And we have a Spring line coming out in less than a month that will make most people making skateboard shit out there not want to continue anymore. JK?

Fully lit, on fire, torched, zorched.

Check out John ramble over at ESPN.

Here’s Something.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qud-rQ_wmcE

Looks like Twitter and Facebook are going to get a little more awesome!

Pretty random post but the dudes rips. Rips even harder that he called out a hater. Hell yeah Jack!

Not sure if any of you give a shit but I do. This guy is out of jail and about to drop some new shit!

Check out Erics round face, Daryls mouth, Ishods smile, Chets sober as, and the Beach cameo over at the Nike FP Mini Site.

Looks like the Hundreds likes our Skate Mental messenger bag!!! They ripped it off pretty epic!!!! Gotta love Scotty though! Love you Scotty. But whoever thought that they could get away such a blatant rip off is a trip. Must be that OG Kush!!!!

Here’s a video of some dirtbags on wheels.

All these guys blow my mind.

Lets go Giants!!!!!!!!

If you haven’t noticed already. Biebel secured some real estate on our site with a permanent banner. And a little change of plans for Mottas video part. It won’t be in his boards…it’s going to be on our site next month! I’ll get some sort of countdown thing all the bigger companies have going soon so we look like a brand owned by a bigger brand or some shit.

Looks like these dumpster diving fuckers need some “me” time after that trip. And nice to know they got Mottas back like a car seat!

Go over to Zumiez and check out Shane!!! Shit, buy his board there too while you’re at it!!!!

A link to Reese and his contribution to Nike. Reese is a warrior and will kick the living shit out of most people…seriously. Slays on a skateboard as well. Always wish the best for one of the OG pro’s once on Skate Mental. Check out his new venture here.

Tim doing a back smith on some shit most people cant drop in on. Wow!

I guess I bummed some dudes out for having too much fun. It was a pleasure watching Sheckler, Cole, Torey, Dylan, Malto, Mikey, P-Rod & Kostons Fucking Face… and of course Shane. Hope you got some ice on those knees Frost. Go Kasper knee pads under the jeans next time Frost. Geeeeeuuuuhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

The biggest congrats to Shane for upper decking Street Leagues face yesterday and winning that shit. Was amazing!!!!!! Everything after that is a blur. Besides crying in MJ’s arms…i do remember that.

Off to Vegas to see what the locker room looks like at this street league shit. Watching Shane skate will be fun as well.

A little snip-it of Shane landing some shit at Robs creation. Oh! Mini interview with our friends at exit!

Check out John smith grinding some shit

Pretty fun day over at the Thrasher Double Rock. Check out Shane on the couch. Also check Shane out this weekend at Street League where I hope he wins it. Right now i’m closing my eyes visualizing some fucked up chick handing him some flowers and a can of energy drank…along with a big check and a room full of trim waiting for him. I hope it happens in that exact order. If you haven’t noticed…Motta rides for Superbrand. If you don’t know what that is then check it out here. Guess I should plug Elwood for Dan. Not sure what this fucking artist reel horse shit is but they got some rad dudes on the team. I ride for Nike Apparel but how would you know that? Beach got stung in his balls by a bee while riding down to my house on his motorcycle. Think that covers all bases for now. Oh!!!! Check out Jakechaw eating shit for his Real part.

Shane’s going Rambo on a skateboard right now. The whole team is now in the bay ready to tear some shit to shreds!!! Or go to the horse track and gamble. Either way some shits going down.

Shane won. Congrats Nuggy!

Check out John rolling off some weird shit on the Thrasher site. Then read all the comments of people who have to pay for skateboards talk shit. Hahahahahahaha!!! Gotta love the internet!!!

Sorry for the lack of posting. My computer broke. Big huge congrats to Shane for getting second place in the first Street League. Proud of you Nuggy. Glad you took out Eric. He’s got plenty of money already. And if you noticed we now advertise in Thrasher.

I hope you’re one of the lucky ones that get to buy one of these. Only 500 will be made. Coming soon!

I suppose were putting on a new am soon. After one of our current ams goes pro in a few months were going to need fill that spot. Who’s going to be the new am? There’s also going to be a DVD that comes with the pros board that features this pro doing pro shit. Might even have Plunkett in it?

Check out Youness ,Stefan, Theotis, Lebron...Ripping! Some other people too.

One of the best dudes out there…hands down.

Were here. Hopefully you can walk by the booth if you end up making it.

Watch Nuggy upper deck Erics mouth after he tried to save himself with the pressure flips.

Here’s a few old photos of me.

Here’s some shit Flynn sent me. I tried to watch it but it crashed my shit and i’m over it now so check it out and let me know how it is.

Awesome shop! Thanks for the support!

Dan rips! So does Atlanta.

Congrats to Shane for his skating in Denmark. Way above impressive. Also a shout out to the hard skating from Beach. Matt is far above impressive as well. Stay tuned for full video parts from the whole team next year. Also stay tuned for a special video part to be released this October. It’s going to be fun. New product next week!!!!!!! Stay tuned!

Im on a plane typing this.

Beach, Staba and Oneill off to CPH tomorrow for a little shred. A shitload of items will be added to the store for a little clearance. Stay tuned for some sale or some shit. You might want to keep your eye out for some ads as well since we now advertise in THRASHER.

Putting the last finishing touches on the new line. More shirts!!!! More Boards!!!!!! More Wheels!!!!!!! More everything!!!!!!! Some nice looking stuff. Beach, Shane and Brad will be in CPH next week. Then Nuggy is off on a Nike tour after the contest.

Interview.

Thrasher has a little thing up on Nuggy.

For some reason I think Shane god robbed. I’m pretty sure he got screwed. A few people told me something happened. At least there’s some footage.

Plunketts on this elwood tour. CPH coming up where Beach, Staba, and Shane will be. Also working on a little euro mission for august. Stay tuned.

I want to give a big thanks to Transport, Primitive, and Utility for hosting Shane and these events. Thanks to all the kids that came out! Many more events ready for this summer so stay tuned! Also if you didn’t have a chance to make it out to see Shane you can still swing by any of the three shops and get his new pro models and other Skate Mental shit. Were also going to be posting photos from these events in the our press section this week so keep an eye out for that.

Holding it down in Holland.

Congrats!

Just wanted to give a big thanks to Chris Middlebrook for his work on Shanes part. Great job!

Thanks to everybody who got or is getting Shanes Skate Mental part on the Berrics. Shane worked his ass off filming this, the filmers worked hard, and everybody at the Berrics and Skate Mental put a great deal of work in as well to promote this release. Bitch all you want about $3 but that money goes to Shane for his work. “They should be giving it away for free because it’s promotion for his companies” Ahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha. No shit it’s promotion but tell that to Shanes body 10 years from now. “Everybody else films parts for their company and don’t get money”. Well maybe times are changing? The Berrics release of the part was 100% requested by Shane. Not Berra or me sitting there trying to fuck some kid over and make a quick buck…or three. The Berrics delivers 100% free content besides this. Bitch, bitch, bitch but when you look at the big picture the people complaining are a very small slice of the pie…very small. Thanks to all the pros who took time to watch the part and give their opinions. I respect alot of these pros responses. It was hype but it was also honest. Between Fourstar, Nike and Skate Mental you will be seeing alot of Shane for years to come. Congrats Nugg. You deserve your name on a board. Come out next week and meet Shane!

nike.

Shane in SF hitting the streets. Also in my driveway hitting the bench Timmy O and I stole from the movie theater 7 years ago. Jessie got the other one. Saturday should be interesting. Shane’s skate mental part will stoke some people out…for sure. Get ready for the Motta video this fall!!!!

Five more days. I think i watch the part every other day. Makes you wanna be better.

Check out plunkett and some bros get all bro.

go to biebelsworld.com

If you’re in San Mateo this Saturday. Check out the Atlas & Nike SB best trick contest.

We added some photos of Motta and Plunkett in the press section.

Watch Shane spin his board around.

Right above the news.

I think we have room for another AM.  Think we might need another one this fall too.

One of my alltime favorites!!!!! Ray is the fucking man!

A Skate Mental rider is now featured in that game of skate over at the Berrics. That battle shit or whatever. Stay tuned as he beats everybody…no joke. Holy fucking Pat Duffy. Yeah Duffy!

Elwood has a edit of their time in PHX. Check out Plunkett.

For some reason I thought there were going to be some more episodes? He’s got some good Savier stories and we had some fun filming for those TWS videos. He’s got a shit ton of stories from Girl trips as well. I suppose if you ever run into him you can buy him a beer and ask him for yourself. Maybe he’ll write a book someday.

Shane has an above what’s above average interview in the new theskateboarmag. While you’re in the magazine isle look next to you and there should be a Thrasher. Buy that too. It has a spread of Motta doing a nollie hard revert and a spread of Plunkett doing an ollie up clipper.

Check out Motta doing a lipslide.

The store is now ready to be bent over and taken advantage of. Help us clear out the old stuff to make room for new shit. If you don’t like anything we have go to Blackbox or Crailtap...they got stores too!

It’s official. John is now riding for SUPERbrand Apparel.

I forgot about this thing. Brian is special.

Enjoy the day.

Store is up! We will be adding stock frequently so keep checking back for more sale items. All items in the store are from back stock and past seasons.You can go to your skate shop and buy the newer stuff. Either way you’re going to win.

Had a chance to hang out with Mark last week. It’s been awile. Great dude and bonkers on a skateboard. Werd life.

Hunter got 13th at the Tampa Team Manager Contest this weekend.

One more day left at camp Berrics. All I can say is that dudes are going ape shit. M-F of non-stop skating. A nice break from M-F rain. My weekly thanks to the shops that carry Skate Mental. Support your local skate shop!!!!!!!!! Tune in for Tampa Pro.

Dan is officially on Elwood. Click the banner to your right and check it out.

Seriously. Got informed by the wonderful guy who designed this website that the store is near completion. I might even buy something. There’s a few kids out there I wanna give boards to. Were going to have a spot opening up on the team here pretty soon. Omar is a great buddy of mine. i’ve known him for a long time and am very proud of what he’s done for himself. Buy his Nike Shoe.

Feast your eyes on this people. Stay tuned for World Tour Dates.

Looks like these things are being used as intended.

Sorry about the lack of updates and store. Motta has a new clothing sponsor. Stay tuned for that press release. We’ll be doing a team thing where we all go to this indoor skate place and skate shit. Then they put it on their site and kids beat off to it into a sock not even thinking about the fact that their mom knows what it means when a sock sticks to itself. Stay tuned for that. The sore, I mean store is almost fucking done. Really sorry for the lag. Everything will be cheap bro. I love sponsor me tapes. Brad will be spending a week at Mike Mo’s house soon. That should be a fucking trip. Full documentation for sure…right Vince! Looks like were going to have a new pro. Wonder who it’s going to be? The next few months will be interesting. ALL NEW BOARDS SHIPPING!!!!!

Mikes the best.

I haven’t trolled youtube for awile. Luckily Motta is at my house right now and showed me this guy. Fucking fuck.

This fucking guys life. Just watched Beach on the Captain and Casey Show!! Gavin might have to film a video part with all the coverage he’s been getting lately. Thanks for the flip-flops Tim.

My friend Tony is doing some cool stuff over at SUPERbrand. They’re building the skate team as we speak, stay tuned.

Thanks to Crossroads and everybody who came by to check out our new stuff!

We’ll be at the Crossroads show this week.

Besides the random dudes jerking off and terrorists.You can get girls to flash their tits and maybe more. Not like I know. Thanks to Hanni and Huf. Chatroulette

One of the best motherfuckers ever.

Go over to NIKE and check out part two of the “Don’t Fuck the Midget tour filmed and edited by Jason Hernandez. Call make a fucking faggot. Not like I haven’t heard that one before.But going on the road with the these dudes is fun as shit. Great friends and good times.

So the store didn’t launch last week. Sorry. Next week?

Vote for Shane over here. Pretty much a no brainer.

Preparing for his next show Ed Templeton loses much sleep making sure it all arrives unbroken and safe. I love Ed. Looks like he’s still managing on finding photos of good looking men. The first photo of the post displays one sharp looking dude as well as “The Steamer”

Go over and check out some sequences of Motta, Plunkett, and Nuggy at atlantahatesus.com

Were getting everything ready to launch the store next week. We’ll be offering stock from previous seasons discounted. So if you didn’t get a chance to score something from the past you can get it now…if we have it still. Stay tuned.

Pretty cool.

Go over to Nike Skateboarding and check out part 1 of the “don’t fuck the midget tour” filmed and edited by Jason Hernandez.

Skate Mental
San Francisco, Ca

Skate Mental would like to thank Girl Skateboards for giving us a home for the last three years. But it’s time for the little bird to leave the nest and fly with its own wings. It has been a blessing and we appreciate the hard work from everybody in the entire building. We will be migrating sales and operations to Northern California where the brand is designed and developed. Same Skate Mental…different location. Visit the new skatemental.com for everything Skate Mental and crailtap.com for all the other stuff like HD, that Couch, and Kostons fucking face.

To answer some of you guys emails…our wood will remain the same.

You can now check out our new spring line!!

Go over to thrasher and check out Shane Switch Backside Flip

Skate Mental will be at the Agenda Tradeshow Jan 8th-9th. Come check out all the new stuff. If you can’t make it check out our site Monday to see the new line.

Check out Sam. Sam is hands down one of the best humans on earth.

New sequence of Shane added to his rider page! Check it out! And please check out the newest update on mottas blog. Oh my! Complete with video! Oh! And I typed Shane Oneill on youtube and his part in the shitty video I made came up. Sorry about that one guys. I wanted to make a shitty video and I succeeded. I won’t edit videos anymore. Save that one for people who actually know how to do it. Both him and John have great parts in that crap of a video though.

In case you haven’t seen the last TWS video. Go grab it and check out Matts part and also check out Matts rider profile because he has an interview there now and a photo of what it’s like to live in Portland in the winter. Skate Mental United Nations at the Berrics? New AM? New PRO soon? Who’s it going to be?This year is going to be filled with some surprises…all good ones. 

Reese Forbes and Skate Mental are no longer. We would like to wish Reese the best of luck going into his new venture. We would also like to thank him for his time with us. Love you Reese.

New photos added to Shanes rider profile!

Still some time to get some of the Nike SM stuff. This place has some. The Berrics has some too! But what doesn’t the Berrics have.

Happy New Year. Alot of good things ahead for this year. Stay tuned. Go grab the new issue of theskateboardmag so you can see a crooked grind double page spread featuring Plunkett. Shot by the RAT. This motherfuckers coming back. I love this guy too.

Watch Dan and Jake get stooey on the new Sunday mini. Plunkett is a maniac. He’s getting a blowjob in the mountains right now. If you’re in Buffalo you would be a retarded person if you didn’t check out the shop. Like dumb retarded.

Pretty mind blowing that my buddy Jake Donnelly doesn’t have a shoe sponsor promoting his far beyond talented skills on a skateboard. Somebody is sleeping. Actually somebody is asleep!!!!!! Wake up!!!!!!

Today is dedicated to these guys. Check out Bri-Bri in Sf.

Have fun today.

If you click the mini window with the twitter icon it will take you to the Brad Staba twitter. After christmas i’m going to have the link changed so it directs you to the SM twitter. Until then here it is. Also if you have a dull moment in your day you should spend some time here.

(All this is being typed wearing a head mounted microphone so I can get as close to feeling like this guy.) Here’s some stuff that’s better than alot of other stuff. These would fit nice is a stocking.

If you didn’t get a chance to get one of these boards then you still have a chance. These places have some!! Skate Warehouse Exit Real World Tactics Val Surf

I’m pretty sure this guys going to be under the tree. Just wrapped up a Motta Cardboard Cutout and all I can say is WOW!! First week of January and you guys will be looking at a refreshed product line. We’ll still have some older gems in Limited quantity for those who missed out. Also the contact page is up for any shop that wants to carry Skate Mental that doesn’t already.
