Visit the Emerica site to watch a video with Braydon Szafranski talking about his new shoe. And not to spoil things but “they are like thick enough to jump down stairs…but at the same time they ain’t D3s”. Instant kick flips and holding down for the LV as well.

Club Mumble is already delivering the good stuff with this very solid interview with Sean Cliver discussing the re-release of a classic Plan B Sean Sheffey graphic. Along the way the politics of early 90’s graphics are discussed. Our favorite line? “Next week Plan B is slated to release a Sheffey interview on their site.” We can’t wait. Check out both the article and the soon to be available graphic here. (Who is Sean Sheffey? Watch and learn)

Looks like Gatorade is going to give Red Bull, Monster and Mountain Dew a run for their money. Gatorade announced today the addition of Chaz Ortiz to their action sports team. Rumor has it that Chaz has signed a multi year contract with a six figure salary, not bad for a 14 year old kid. Looks like Chaz won’t need to hit up his parents for allowance anymore. With plans to sponsor skate events in 09 and add more riders to their team, it looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more from Gatorade in the future.

The New York Times has posted a piece that highlighting ‘skaters finding a surplus of deserted pools in which to perfect their acrobatic aerials’. It seems that the economic downturn is producing ‘smiles as wide as a half-pipe’ on some skaters. This is certainly an interesting read…the idea of the New York Times reporting on outlaw pool skating is something few could have predicted.

The Los Angeles Times recently sat down with Tony to discuss his upcoming game “Adrenaline,” which releases in the Fall of 09. Tony also talks about being a new dad again and skating at 40 years old. It’s crazy to think that the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game has generated 1 billion dollars in sales since 1999.
