DTELOC reigns supreme!

So I haven't been skating in the last two or so months, but since I have been gone, I have noticed that the brotherhood has been blowing up exponentially. J-Brock has a new vid up on Dlxsf.com, more ads than a California agency and an interview in the big T-world of skateboarding. David has the sickest Nike ad to date and an either/or in Skateboarder mag. And while Dan Plunkett has had a photo in a mag for the past 7 months, he still remains the most underated skater out there. What the &%$#!!! Are his sponsors even paying attention to the hammers that he has been building his career with? Have they not seen the mini ramp vid on Atlantahatesus.com? http://youtube.com/watch?v=blNwYpX94JA

Are Plunkett's sponsors blowing it? You're Damn right they are!!

This kid is not only the baddest little ripper out there, he is also one of the coolest guys to rip with. He doesn't put up with the BS in skating, and he is down fo' whateva!! So here is a call out to the sponsors of Buffalo Dan. Start investing into the guy that has invested his loyalty into you. If you need footy, fotos of a fantastic friend, call him up to go rip. Because he will produce for you.

And while you are in the ATL, take a look at Pat McLain, Kevin Radley, Cole Frazier, Chris Burns and my favorite, SANTI. If you don't know who I'm talking about, you are in the dark and you will never see the light because obviously you are living in a cave

My girlfriend told me one time that there are two kinds of people in the world. People that get it and people that don't. These guys get it. In fact, women throw it at them all the time because of it. Stop looking at plastic wonderland out in Cali, and start looking at the dirty south for the future. Stop looking at "urban," and start paying attention to the rippers that are setting the new standard for skating. The filmers in Atlanta skate faster than most of your pros.

And stop buying Chinese wood. Boycott the "Sweets," the "Lady's," and the "Dwindling Planet" companies that are taking food out of American shaper's mouths. Because, if they aren't going to ride their own products, why should you. Stop giving these circus clowns more money to hang out in Hollywood. Support the companies that were built by skate rats like you and me. Support the guys that sleep on the floors of bros like you and me.

And pay attention to Cardiel. The one true inspiration in an industry going under.

If we don't stand up to these companies, we will all be skating communist toothpicks before the end of the decade. Skaters with Bling-Bling can eat a fat Ding-a-ling. You got me?

God Bless America, and God Bless American Wood!!!!!!!!
