We got in to Portland and went straight to Burnside for drinking and skating under the bridge all day. Then Portland did shit right and gave us the best crowd of the tour. Seattle, what you got?

Take a look inside the Shed Van and get a feel for what it's like to be on the road. They got all their gear, the four piece band, Partanen, Rhino, Hewitt, and a kidnapped Sammy Baca in their.

That last minute Sports Bar addition in Redding turned out to be not such a good idea.

Reno is Spanish for loser and look what we got... Nothing. We'll be in Red Bluff later today

Who better to show the crew around Sacramento and pump up the session then John Cardiel.

Spracked in Sac show came through town, daytime event. Best trick: Dog Boy. Leavin' town Cinco de Mayo.

We made it to Fresno to skate some pools the night before and then onward to Madera for stop two of the tour.

We can officially check Las Vegas off the list. Last night ripped. The Skate Rock tour is now under way. Look out Fresno, you're next.

What happens in Vegas goes straight to the web. Half the crew arrived yesterday and the rest are meeting up today. If you got the guts, jump on board. We'll be doing it...

SHED and Johnny and the Dudes sent in videos for their respective bands. Grindline the Band is already in Vegas, and the rest of us will be there tomorrow. It's on!

With all the Cardiel hoopla in the media these days, we decided to dig through the old vid stash to bring you some of the highlights of the gnarliest skater of all time. This is our take on “All Hail Cardiel.” This shit is for reals; John, we love you! This shit will never be played out AHHHHHH!!! —Jake Phelps and the Thrasher mafia.

Kilgore's got a new video up with Jordan, Sean Gutierrez and the boys ripping it up.

P-Stone and Trujillo spent a night with some brews and Final Cut and cranked out this video for Bad Shit's song, Hell Ride.

Spitfire announced that they will be sending a van for the entirety of the Skate Rock Tour. Look for Bobby Worrest, Justin Brock, Slash, Angel Ramirez, Andrew Allen, Nick Trapasso, Sam Hitz, Darren Navarrette, and Tony Trujillo to be in the van coming to skate and rock your town.

We came up with this tour. We invite all rippers, slags, hags, anybody... Rember Carbondale? Well, let’s get the show on the road again. We're going, are you? Let’s show the world what's really going on.

"Ignorance is bliss. We don't want to be infiltrated by rules that say “this is how you are supposed to play your guitar” or whatever." -Sam Hitz of SHED

"We’re from Hunter's Point, where they loaded the atomic bomb that was eventually dropped on Hiroshima—talk about full circle." -Bad Shit
