Dylan Doubt from Color Magazine started off his recent blog post by saying, “i think we are all looking forward to our own beds and hot water.”   After 9 days of camping I can only imagine how bad a good nights sleep and showers are needed.  By the looks of the photos this tour has been a special one.  I can’t wait to see the video.

The Creators Project did a cool video interview with Andy Mueller. They go over some of his past and current projects, what he does at Girl, and a bunch of other fun facts.

Check it out. And while you’re at it, check out Andy’s clothing line The Quiet Life. It’s amazing!!!

It looks like Alex Olson has joined the blogging world too. There definitely isn’t a theme to it which kind of makes it more interesting than a lot of other blogs.

There’s some skateboarding, some girls he wants to sleep with, some artsy stuff. Check it out….

This weekend we got a couple of great contest going down in Vancouver. First up on Saturday August 28th our friends over at BLVD skate shop are hosting the Battle At Hastings. This is going to be an insane day with lots of bowl shredding going down. Lots of prizes up for grabs and DJ Vinyl Ritchie spinning jams all day.

Then to follow up on Sunday August 29th the good people over at RDS Skate Supply are back at it again with their annual Block Party in front of the shop. A best Trick contest with a BBQ and a special guest performance from Moka Only and Def 3. You will be shunned by all if you miss this one.

Check the posters below for all the info. 2 solid shops hosting 2 very solid contest! this is going to be a great weekend and we will see you all there!

Here are a few pictures Dylan Doubt sent over to us from the dustry trail on the DVS In-Tents tour.

Toronto’s very own trade show Five&Dime was a huge success, Supra was represented by all brands and had a great turn out.  Special thanks to Alex and Lance for doing a great job at organizing the show.  Extra special thanks goes to all of the accounts that came out and saw the Spring 2011 product.

Blue Tile Lounge in Newmarket Ontario is holding it down Chocolate Skateboards style!  Check out a near life-size Jay Brown in that window.

Sarah from Slaysh in Ottawa Ontario created a cloudy (in a good way) Lakai window display to compliment the new Howard Mid Crailtap Colorway.

If you’re in the area swing by to check out the display and peruse Slaysh’ selection of fine skate goods, footwear and apparel.

West49 has finished the first leg of their trips out in the maritimes filming for the DVS sponsored “49 Days”.  Soon to be going coast to coast the W49 resident filmer Bigman is putting together a solid video of all their team riders, including Tony Myshlyaev pictured above.  For more info go HERE and peep the montage.

 If you happen to be in Hamilton mid-August, be sure to swing by the 18th Annual Hamilton Skate Jam at Beasley Park in Hamilton, Ontario.  I assure you, it’s always a great time! Be sure to hit up FLATSPOT for any details!
