Josh Borden's Surprise Party
Josh Borden's Surprise Party
A heavy crew assembled at Omar Hassan's backyard bowl to surprise Josh Borden on Saturday. The bowl was shredded, cold ones were knocked back, Taco Dudes catered taco cart, friends, family and team mates, legends all showed up to congratulate Josh Borden on turning pro for Santa Cruz skateboards and to wish him a happy birthday all on the same day! Fuck yeah Josh!

RIP IN PEACE: Jeff Grosso
Rest in peace, Grosso. Jeff ALWAYS skated with style. His grinds were long, his backside airs were head-high and his handplants were stalled out and sadder than a funeral. He will be sorely, sorely missed. Our hearts go out to his family and many friends. -

Henry Gartland in Oz
Shedding blood straight off the plane, Gartland goes off in Oz, stoking crowds, causing ruckus in the van and ripping some rails. Not bad for a first-timer. -

Maurio McCoy's First Trip to Oz
Maurio solidifies his status as a one-man demo force tearing up the parks and cities on his first trip to Oz. With kickflips so tight they might as well be vacuum sealed, it’s no wonder he got his own board.
