Tim took a pair of the Dre Powell 2 skates recently and decided to put together this fall themed edit. Be sure to let him know what you thought of the video in the comments below. Tim’s gonna be hitting F5 on this mofo every 3-7 seconds on some 1995 chat room tip, so quit wastin’ precious postin’ time and leave a f’n comment already!
Starting to look a lot more like Christmas round these parts as of late… Especially since we sent good ol’ St. Nick to the park to do-do our dirty work. Here he can be seen poaching a freshly pre-trimmed tree and not looking suspicious at all. Of course he wouldn’t have been able to do this with out his cutting edge NEW Psyko SAW AXE MURDERER Flannel that gave him the power of the late, great Paul Bunion. Nick brought the tree to us and we traded him several hundred pancakes because I think thats what lumber jacks eat. That’s why they are called flap jacks, right? Can someone confirm this for me? No? Fine. F@#$!
You like the Xsjado Jeff Stockwell skates? Kyle Nolte likes Xsjado Jeff Stockwell skates too! Klye Jr. was out the game for a couple months, mostly due to him relinquishing ‘the family pants’. He was subsequently locked down by his ‘woman’ and was fibbing injuries so he didn’t have to skate with us. TISK-TISK. He even went as far to faking a doctors note that was obviously scribbled on the back side of a Burger King receipt. Which, by the way was just recently voted the worst fast food restaurant on the MF’n planet. Don’t take my word for it ask anyone, “Hey, what do you think is the worst fast food restaurant?” It’s like one of those crazy mind melting math games that always ends up kicking you in the ass with the same number - Without fail everyone ALWAYS says Burger King - OH and lol, Paco Ass Dre swore over his terrible onion bomb habit that it was a UK based food chain (dude eats onions like their freaking apples). HAHA! The King? You fool! I know Burger president or Burger democracy would have been a little more obvious, but dude - DO THEY EVEN EAT BURGERS IN THE UK!?!? Do they get served with the P.Diddy cups? Someone please tell me. Anyways, Paco - What made you think the UK? Why not Tonga? Or Monaco? Let me guess, the Lion King also from the UK? NO. HE WAS NOT. How about Hershey Sundae pies tho? I dunno, but those are still okay in my book.
WHAT YOU GOT ON MY PIE, HOMIE?
But I must digress…This post was about Nolte and his new skates. We had a lot of fun making this edit, and Nolte is skating Xsjado’s now for those of you who cannot accept him on another set of blades, I’ve got just the tickey for yall.
Real time big player pimp hustler, O.G. blader and long time homie Jayson Reduta just put this session edit together that features some snazzy clips from our ‘buster free’ summer San Jose night sessions. Featuring some of your favorite locals, tracked up to a smooth jam.
Team rider Victor Arias came through the other day to help us promote the new aMALL shirts, which we just released in a bunch of new colors. The v-necks have been a huge hit, of course Vic wanted to rock one for his photo. So here he is, wearing the AM Subtle v-neck in charcoal gray while he laces a picture perfect true miz. on the lower ledge to fish transfer, all while local NON-lookers moseyed about and chewed on rocks.
“Showing my love for all things Amall. Always been my fav. company and I wanted to get something rollerblading related so whenever I’m done skating I always have that good memory.”
Thanks man, it means a lot to us too. Believe it or not, it’s things like this that keep us motivated and pushing forward.

Before I post these up, I want to thank everyone who entered. This was by far the best year for this contest and we saw a lot great pumpkins. Just so you know, it was very hard to select 3 finalists so we decided to throw a wild card in the mix and add a 4th place.

This announcement is a little late for the blog, but we wanted to add a couple ‘out and about photos’ to the mix. 100% new AM graphics, printed on premium tee’s. Probably the best shirts we’ve released to this day and still only $19.
I just got back from the printers today, and these are coming out nicely. This will be the first time in a while that we’ve had a line with 100% fresh graphics. That’s right, 100% of these are NEW. Pictures swooped with my phone, thus unoffical’ness of the MF’in post.
This is just a pinner preview - Each graphic will be available in an array of cool guy/girl colors.
We couldn’t get the denim out of our system this year, so the “Denims” live on, and this time it’s in the form of a hat. Overall this hat is constructed with heavy blue denim, and features our now essential terry cloth sweat band which is not only super comfortable, but also holds the sweat back, perfect for umm, SWEATING! To state the obvious, white eyelets were used up top for just a tad of contrast and inside out denims on the underbill. The 96 Laurel AM logo is embroidered dead center on the front while a printed *AM* patch is sewn on the left side. Per usual a nice 3D JE logo sits on the back.
