The Stickiest of the Icky

Colton-Almost

I can hardly believe it, but this was filmed in February aka a proverbial opium whore of a wintery month. Of course we got dumped on with a few feet of snow the next week, but at least the lovely March we’ve had has already made up for that. In like a lamb, out like a roasted lamb? We can only hope…cross your fingers…

More of Colton Blight at Canvas skateboards, and up in this piece..

Dork Trick Tips-joshi-swoon-dog

10 Dork Trick Tips and we’ve barely scratched the surface of the ridiculousness that is skateboarding. Here’s Josh Cowan with the Swoon Dog, probably my favourite name for a trick ever. SWOOOOON DOOOOOGGGGG.

SOTI 1.7 Year Skate Jam

Thanks to everyone for coming out, and especially to Shawno Carnahan for filming. Edited by SOTI.

SOTI Homie and pro fruit carver Uncle Coosh has some more footage of the event here

Thanks Future Shop, for your excellent return policy! I have to remember to take this sweet ass Canon Rebel XTI back before Wednesday and you can refund my credit card no questions asked.
Bigup to everyone that came out for our 1.7 anniversary at the Ward Skatepark and Congrats to our Best Trick comp winners:
1st: Dalton Crawford
2nd: Kody Thompson
3rd: Ben Buchenauer

See you for our 1.8 Anniversary jam?!? 19+ and wobbly pops for sure, I promise.

I’ve already posted a link to this vid I produced in Brasil in 2007, but I uploaded it back when youtube didn’t have the lovely HD option..so, here it is again in stunning almost HD quality but not quite.

Bigup to all the Avuatauba crew, Raphael Buarque and Fabricio Sacramento from Cartel Design, Rio de Janeiro. Fabricio’s making a proper website for SOTI right, thank Buddha, Mohhamed and whatever other deity you can think of.

Well, SOTI didn’t win, but our entry to Crailtap’s Famous Duos competition made it to the finals….

Literally. My friend and photographer/teacher Evan Nash lives in Seoul, Korea.  He’s been getting his class hyped on skateboarding, and  was able to get the kids to pay their respects to Stickiest of the Icky’s birthday with some art.

Just a reminder the STICKIEST OF THE ICKY 1.7 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SKATE JAM is going down this Friday, 9-midnight!

dork-trick-tips-ollienorthtotheextreme-byrone-olson

Byron Ready is in Spain, but the day before he took off we were able to weasel a dork trick tip out of him. It’s called the Ollie North to the Extreme, also known as the Byrone Olson. Damien Peters came up with the ‘other’ name. If you see Damien you should probably thank him in person for coming up with the dopest DTT names ever. Remember Tyrone Olson? Count the lipslides in this part from 1995 if you got nothing better to do.

Zac-varsity-bowl-Australia

Here’s my former next door neighbour/homie Zac McKay repping the Australian side of Nike SB. Zac is renowned for picking up multiple girls in a week (or 24 hour period), breaking into my house at 5am to say hi and have a toke, and generally killing it on a skateboard when he feels like it.

All Wrapped Up ghetto quality version

The FIRST full length skateboard video out of China!~ It just got premiered on December 25th, 2009….so have a look at this bootleg and go and buy it as soon as you can find it in North America. You’ll definitely want to see the Johnny Tang (from Toronto) and Johnnie Tang (from Hong Kong) parts. Great job by Tommy Zhao with the filming and editing, check out his blog, Zhaopower.
