Oh, and here is a product review they did on our urethane a long time ago that we forgot to post. Photos below by Brian Walnum and Ray Zimmerman. Three thumbs up for Shane!

Gareth Stehr Juice Magazine Interview
June 14, 2010Steve Olson recently interviewed Gareth Stehr for the latest issue of JUICE Magazine. We suggest that you pick up a copy and check it out because Steve has a bitchin way of interviewing skaters that really reveals how much they love skating. There are some rad never-before-seen photos of Gareth, too. He also talks about his art, what it was like growing up skating in New Zealand, and how he paid his own way to the United States to embark on his journey to skate every day.
Shiloh Greathouse and The Killing Moon
June 3, 2010To this day, people still talk about how inspiring this video part is. If you haven’t already seen it (or even if you have), we suggest you grab a glass of Ovaltine, kick back, and watch one of the nicest guys in skateboarding destroy a surplus of spots. Shiloh Greathouse is one cool cat. Footage courtesy of Transworld Media.
Joel Meinholz by Todd Jordan
June 3, 2010
Todd Jordan, Tino Razo, Neckface, Jerry Hsu, Kevin “Spanky” Long, and Aaron Bondaroff have a pretty cool photo project called Now I Remember. The above specimen is a Todd Jordan photo of Joel Meinholz transporting himself up and over some pesky obstacles.
Nolan Johnson in Thrasher Mag: Ollie North Down South
May 14, 2010
You all remember the Texas Death Match presented by Cons and Thrasher we posted about a while back? Nolan was terrorizing the place in his usual style, and scored this sweet full page photo in the latest Thrasher Magazine. You think you can do that backside single footed power soar? Think again. Mister Johnson rides a Welcome.
In other news, the Blueprint Skateboards video Make Friends With The Color Blue is one of the most inspiring skate videos of the past few years, so if you get a chance to buy a copy or at least view it, please do.

Introducing Billy Davenport (You’ll Want to Remember This Name)
April 23, 2010
While the government has been preparing to launch the X-37B top secret space craft, Broadcast has been preparing to launch its own form of secret weapon: Billy Davenport. Zoom back to last weekend: the First Annual Make-A-Wish Skate Jam at Hollenbeck Skate Park. Some of the attendees were Eric Koston, Lance Mountain, Darrel Stanton, Mark Appleyard, Steve Berra, Chris Pastras, Jeremy Wray, Gareth Stehr, Danny Supa, Johnny Layton, Malcom Watson, Theotis Beasley, Andrew Pott, Levi Brown, and many others. Even P-Rod and Sheckler showed up for some interviews, but I ain’t gonna talk about those cats. The one really worth mentioning is Broadcast Am Billy Davenport. Before the contest, friends of Billy already knew that he ripped; but after the contest, he has become a household name amongst not only those who were in attendance, but also anyone who has received word of his refrigerator-high frontslide flips off the wedge, bigspin boardslides down the rail, nollie heelflips, long-arse front crooks, quick and smooth back blunts, yada yada. He was gobbling it all up like some kind of hungry cereal box mascot, and despite the aforementioned VIP list, all eyes were on Billy Davenport for most of the day. Photos are courtesy of whatever website we pulled them from (can’t remember). Thanks guys, and congrats to Billy for receiving the unprompted but well deserved Overall Ripper Award. Watch the video here.
