    “Your going to jail, bitch!” The Johnny Tang interview

    Johnny-Tang-interview Originally from Toronto, Johnny relocated to China about 5 years ago. He’s the Nike SB China team manager. Unlike many fat and old TM’s, Johnny still rips and rides for FLY skateshop, Gift skateboards, Nike Sha-Bi and Cart wheels.

    Ademar “Luquinhas” Lucas

    Luquinhas is an extremely gifted person and very humble at the same time, which can be a rare thing.

    The Tod Swank interview. Part 1.

    Comparing the average skateboard industry guy  to Tod Swank is like comparing a sloth to…well, Tod Swank. Does that metaphor make sense? No. But the point is that he’s a busy and successful guy. He’s held various positions in the skateboard world, including pro skater, photographer, designer and is the president and founder of Tum Yeto which is home to brands such as Toy Machine, Foundation, Pig, Ruckus, and Dekline. Time to stop slothing around, sloth asses. Time to think
