Skate Stoppers Be Damned

Shaun Mefford just sent me this photo of Max and I have no idea what’s going on here… did he slide the whole thing? Did he slappy the yellow curb before he hit the rail? Is that his scooter? It looks like that rail is knobbed pretty heavily at the end… I don’t even know. It all just looks so dangerous to me. Anyway, speaking of Max

Check out his part in the local Austin video ‘Ten Marks‘ by Drew Pickles.

And… if you want more Austin action, Our buddy Dieter Galvan just posted his whole ‘Hecho en Texico‘ video on his site. Lot’s of rad Max action in there as well.

I can’t even put into words (although that won’t stop me from trying) how proud I am of kids like Drew and Dieter that spend their own time and money making videos for their local skateboarding community. You’re the glue. Thanks for keeping it sticky.

My family vacation is almost to an end, so hopefully updates will be more frequent upon my return. If not, blame Bush, or Obama. Anybody but me. And if you’re an Instagram turd and want to look at my family photos, by all means do so @sieben_up. Oh, and here’s a VICE column from earlier this week too. I get called a “fucking sellout” in the comments, so that’s worth reading by itself, right?

One last thing: we kind of blew it getting the whole Roger of the Season website built in time to launch the program for Fall, which is actually good news for you. Because now you have until December to send in your footage for the Winter 2012-2013 slot. Just keep in mind that these dudes were Rogers of the Month… so don’t send in any bull crud.
