Ben Harper is helping to raise money for the family of Australian pro skateboarder Lewis Marnell, whose untimely death in January at the age of 30 left his family in dire financial straights. A lifelong skateboarding enthusiast and friend to skaters around the world, Harper has reunited with the Innocent Criminals for the first time since 2007 to re-record the song “Jah Work” from his 1997 album, “The Will to Live.” The song will be available on iTunes April 30th, with all proceeds going to the Lewis Marnell family memorial fund.

“Lewis was a brilliant artist and athlete not to mention a truly beautiful soul. We loved him and his contributions to skating, and we thought a song would be a wonderful way to celebrate his life and help his family.” said Harper.

Marnell died Jan. 18 from complications of diabetes, a disease he lived with from the age of 10. He did not allow his condition to impede his meteoric skateboarding career. He skated with such passion and style that can’t be replicated, he made all his tricks look effortless and his love for life was infectious. In 2008 he made his mark when he went pro for Almost Skateboards and he was named Skater of the Year from Australian skateboarding magazine slam. Marnell got married in late 2012, and died only a few months later, leaving his family with a large debt. Global efforts to help the family financially ensued, with Harper’s being the latest.

All proceeds go the family of Lewis Marnell

The Burrard adds Andy Warhol to its art collection

The Burrard hotel in downtown Vancouver has added a very special new treasure to its art collection with a limited edition diptych of Andy Warhol’s iconic “Marilyn Monroe” (the likes of which has been seen exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum) displayed on Alien Workshop skateboards inside the hotel lobby.

With its signature garden courtyard and retro West Coast style, the Burrard first opened in 1956 when the “Burrard Motor Inn” joined the neon-clad glitz that characterized much of downtown Vancouver until the mid 1970s. At its peak, there was one neon sign for every 18 residents in the city, making Vancouver the neon sign capital of Canada. Dating back to the early 1960s, the Burrard’s classic neon sign is among the last ones left standing today.
This exhibition of limited edition boards is on display in the lobby at The Burrard and has been brought to you as a collaboration between: The Burrard x Color Magazine x Supra Distribution x Alien Workshop x the Andy Warhol Foundation.

Go check it out for yourself and tag it in a photo!

Santa Monica, CA—SUPRA Footwear has opened their first California retail store location in Santa Monica. SUPRA Santa Monica is the brand’s third location, following the launch of the very successful SUPRA Paris and SUPRA NYC stores in 2011.

“We are pleased with the performance of our first two stores and the response from the public has been amazing,” said a SUPRA spokesperson. “We had many potential locations we were looking at for our third store, but Santa Monica made the most sense because Southern California is where the brand was born. It’s a coming home of sorts, and we’re excited about the location.”

While the first two stores were designed with a warm, dark palette to create an intimate space in the middle of a bustling metropolis, the new California location took the opposite approach. Just steps from the busy Santa Monica promenade and only blocks from the beach, the 1400-square-foot SUPRA Santa Monica store is a bright, wide open space that reflects a Southern California aesthetic. Like the first two stores, the legendary collections of footwear for men, women, and kids are all elegantly displayed in a distinctive environment that gives the consumer the ability to experience the full breadth of the SUPRA line of products in one place.

“It’s more than just a sneaker store,” said the SUPRA spokesperson, “because inside the Santa Monica space, with the California sun shining in, the SUPRA signature look really comes to life.”

Image from TMZ
Words: Christian Senrud
Early Sunday morning, Olympic Gold medalist and X Games dominator, Shaun White, was arrested and charged with vandalism and public intoxication after allegedly pulling a fire alarm and damaging property at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel in Nashville, TN.
ABC has the story here, which makes for a good read, as does TMZ here, but what I’m more interested in is how this might influence the Olympic committee’s view on skateboarding for possible inclusion in future Summer Olympics.
White had previously been pushing for our “sport” to be included in the next Olympics, and as a Winter Olympian and medalist, has become our spokesperson of sorts on the matter, saying how great of a fit we’d be for the Olympics. It’s a polarizing topic, as is Shaun White himself within skateboarding, but perhaps this little outburst will help push us out of reach for the somewhat stale, family friendly atmosphere of the summer games.
Or maybe ratings are hurting enough that NBC and the Olympic committee and whoever else are willing to look the other way as they have when snowboarders have tested positive for “performance enhancing” drugs like marijuana in past years. At the present, I can only speculate and hope that the Olympics have the good sense to leave us out as they always have in the past.

Join us next Wednesday, 8/29 as we welcome the Adidas team in town to skate the newly renovated L.E.S. skatepark in Coleman Park. Things are going to kick off around 3 o’clock with a demo and signing featuring Gonz, Lucas, Dennis, Silas, Pete, Nestor, Benny, Jake, Lem and Vince. Check the flyer for full details, this should be a good one!

On Go Skateboarding Day 2012 (this Thursday, June 21), the etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest and hundreds of skateboarders will attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the largest skateboard lesson ever given in a skatepark. The lesson (taught by Skatepark Coordinator Nick Gates and etnies owner and World Championship skateboarder Pierre-Andre Senizergues) isn’t just for beginners, though, it’s for anyone who wants to be a part of skateboarding history!

Everyone is invited to come with their skateboard to take part in this World Record attempt. The free, public event will also include etnies giveaways, a best trick contest and free food. I’ve included more information about the etnies Go Skateboarding Day event in a news release below. Please let me know if you’d like additional information or if you have any questions.

Win marks Huston’s Second Victory in the 2012 Street League Skateboarding Series

Ontario, California (June 16, 2012) – This weekend Ontario, California’s Citizen Business Bank Arena was sold out and packed to the rafters for the second stop of the 2012 Street League DC Pro Tour Fueled by Monster Energy (SLS). Fans witnessed some of the world’s best skateboarders battle it out for the $150,000 prize. Huston came out strong to win and repeat his victory from the first stop in Kansas City, landing the highest score of the day with a Caballerial Kick Flip Backside Lipslide in the Best Trick Section and walking away with first place and $150,000.

Fans were on the edge of their seats during the last section of the finals as Huston went trick for trick with Chaz Ortiz, Sean Malto and Luan Oliveira. Huston came out on top with an overall Finals score of 47.7. Ortiz came in a close second with an overall finals score of 46.2 followed by Malto who rounded out the top three with a 45.9.

“This win in Ontario felt awesome,” said Nyjah Huston. “It was another one that was really close. It was great and I feel so good. Time to go celebrate!”

“I’m thrilled to come back to California and showcase Street League’s evolution as the most exciting skateboarding contest ever,” says creator Rob Dyrdek. “Again it came down to the very last trick with Ortiz, Malto, and Huston all having a shot to win. In the end, Huston landed the biggest tricks when it mattered and showed again that when he Is at the top of his game he’s unstoppable.”

This year Street League Skateboarding continues to grow, altering the format and adding six new pros. The pros pulled no punches throughout the Stop Two Finals, evolving with the new format, that allowed them to flow throughout the entire course with the new 45-second run section and landing the most difficult tricks in a Big Section format where only four attempts count out of six. Out of the final’s most notable tricks, it was SLS pro Nyjah Huston who took home the Monster Energy Best Trick Award worth $15,000 for landing the highest scoring trick of the day with a Caballerial Kick Flip Backside Lipslide for a 9.8.

Collectively the 24 SLS pros voted for Jimmy Carlin to win the Zumiez 24-7 Award worth $7,000. After the finals, all the skaters had one more shot to skate in the Chevrolet Overdrive for a chance at $10,000. Chris Cole, Jimmy Carlin, Ryan Sheckler & Shane O’Neill all skated solid, but it was Tom Asta who ended up with the prize, doing amazing tricks all over the course including a Kick Flip Backside Nose Grind Revert and a Switch Frontside and Backside Heel Flip down the Big set.

Street League’s $1.6 million purse is the largest in skateboarding history and almost double the combined winnings for all other skate contests. Stop Three brings the tour to Glendale, Arizona at the Jobing.com Arena on July 14-15, then the SLS tour culminates in a winner-takes-all Championship in Newark, NJ at the Prudential Center on August 26. The SLS Championship will feature the winners of the first three stops of the 2012 tour along with the remaining top eight qualifiers who will compete for $200,000 as well as the title of Street League Champion. Finals for Glendale, AZ will air LIVE on ESPN2 on July 15 at 7pm ET. Check www.streetleague.com for complete qualifying webcast schedule.

Street League Skateboarding is presented by DC Shoes and Monster Energy, with additional sponsorship by Chevrolet, Air Force Reserve, Superheat, mophie, Zumiez, Nixon, Bill My Parents, X Out and California Skateparks.

June 14, 2012, Fountain Valley, CA—ONE Distribution is proud to announce that SUPRA and Lil Wayne have forged an exclusive relationship that will result in a collection of footwear inspired and overseen by Lil Wayne and manufactured by SUPRA. There has been a longstanding respect between both parties: the design team at SUPRA cites Lil Wayne’s music as inspiration, and Lil Wayne has embraced SUPRA and worn the Skytop since it was introduced to the market in 2007.

“Lil Wayne is a true style icon and a trendsetter,” said Matt Fontana, ONE Distribution’s Global Vice President of Brands. “He’s perfectly suited for a collection with SUPRA because he embodies the same spirit that drives the brand: he’s a leader, not a follower. We’re ecstatic about creating a range of shoes with Lil Wayne.”

The collection will debut at the Project trade show in Las Vegas on August 20-22 and promises to feature a diverse range of styles.
