if you were watching good morning america this morning, or read the NY Times yesterday, you might have heard about the “new” Today Sponge, and how it’s coming back to retail after an absence from store shelves with all new packaging. packaging and branding courtesy of the LOVELY Jillian Doran, who some of you may also know as my rad girlfriend.
i had to pinch this from sky’s riottt blog. i first saw the cad line sheets for the nike tech pack a good 2 or 3 months ago. a good friend of mine will have the line at his shop this fall, and when i saw these real pics of the goods yesterday, i had to share them here.

wow.. im a magazine dude at heart. since i was about 12 i’ve had a subsription of some sort to atleast one of an ever changing array of magzines. yesterday i was at walnut st. catching up on photos, and i saw that our antenna mags had finally showed up. i took a look at the cover, scanned what was inside it, and then immediately read the james bond interview. dope. content that i hadnt seen on the internet. you won me over antenna. good job.
and.. the dudes that run it are good people too! look for some ubiq content in coming issues. i just noticed jeff ng posted about them, they’re getting their shine.. give them a read if you get a chance.
so… let’s talk dark knight for a hot minute here. were you up on the harvey dent campaign site?
saw this surface today. i will reserve comments on the similarities to life aquatic until i see the full movie or atleast the trailer, because i love you wes. and i know you won’t do me wrong!
trailer is rumored to drop this weekend with Once and Sunshine. so if you’re that kind of nerd (and you really SHOULD be) then go see either of them so you dont have to wait til monday to see the trailer online.
awesome. i can’t remember the last time i stepped into a 7-11, but this is as good a reason as any to get back in there i suppose. if you live in/near one of these places.. you will soon be graced with a huge costly promotion for the Simpsons Movie at your local 7-11.

i think i can speak on behalf of most volkswagen owners out there, that we didn’t quite see this one coming. although at 202 mph… who really could?
from vortex…
- VW claims a top speed of 202 mph
- 6.0l W12 12-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine mounted in the back seat of the GTI
- 650hp and 553 lb-ft. of torque (!)
- with the flared fenders the car sits over 6 feet wide and only 4.6 feet tall
- 19″ wheels with 295 rear rubber and 235 front rubber
- the fenders are flared 3.15″ at the rear
and while it’s a little fast and furious style-wsie for my tastes.. you can’t shrug off those numbers.

also… super ultra mega online store coming soon!
last night a friend of mine at the park said he had something to email me, and that he thought i’d appreciate it. he was right. knowing this kid and the stuff he does on skates… i was scared and excited for him at the same time. there are no pics to accompany the story (his camera died). but you won’t need them. have a nice friday afternoon break and read this narrative/journal. hopefully we’ll have some more soon.

the good folks over at ONE have posted up the cover of issue3 of ONE, and i’m proud to see none other than my little brother chris cheshbot cheshire. it will be on its way to stands shortly with a full cheshire interview, including shots by wes while he was out here a few weeks ago. and of course, a little sneaker talk by yours truly.
exclusives own dun4n chillin with lenny himself… more pics over on
all of this past weekend i saw ross anthony taking pics. he would try to sneak a shot here and there, and me being the ultimate photo sneaker, i was way ahead of him. i told him if he wanted, i’d post up HIS version of our trip on here. he agreed that he didnt know how to “make a blog” but that he wanted to do it with me. so, here it is… enjoy. thanks ross!

after skating for like 4 hours straight today we were invited for dinner by Frankie (this super nice lady who runs the park and reminds me of my aunt) she led us to the buffet joint….
chris and i are out here helping to film for PARK. majette and killgore’s new video with ALLLL park skating. it’s CRAAAZY in here….
thursday night has been the best night of the week for the past 2 years! here’s the highlights. (each week the best trick of the night gets the flyer for next week) sometimes it’s a hammer. sometimes its chill. but it’s ALWAYS a fun night. we invite everyone to come skate with us if you’re in town. all the flyers after the break in chronological order!
the past 2 months have been the busiest of my life. adding chris to the UBIQ staff has helped a LOT, but the workload has significantly increased since his arrival. to give you all a headsup on what’s going down… i documented our day on wednesday as we had the first of many meetings that will happen between now and mid january when we close the store for renovations. wow, i can’t believe that’s 3 weeks away! check out more pics… censored so that the name stays under wraps til we open.
do this…
this is the perfect example of marrying art direction, filming and personal touches with rollerblading. if you’re working on a dvd. make it look as good as this. it’ll help you sell copies, and make all of us look better in the process. kudos to everyone involved with this.
pics from be-mag. check out more at their “be-log” here.
tight cover from the boys at ONE for the new issue. it’ll be in shops
everywhere soon. check out ONE magazine here.
