The official deadline to win this stuff is May 28. Come in, plunk down five bucks, and win the whole stash.

This is the very last Big Mike Raffle… come give it one last shot while there’s still time! Enter as may times as you can for better odds!

Before I leave you with that, here’s an edit I made off of some slightly older footage that has a good portion of Big Mike’s backyard ramp in it. We had shown up late, so we don’t have footy of him skating in this clip, but he had been ripping it the entire day before we showed up.

Anyway, please give this final raffle a shot. All of the funds will go directly to the Big Mike Trust, which will in turn go directly to Mike’s wife Darlene and son Erik (who also happens to be another skater to the bone).

Thanks.

This is a student film, created by Brandi Matthews and Stacey Winokur. It almost looks like a news broadcast… anyway, we’re pretty stoked on the way it came out.

Remember that we owe skateboarding everything, skateboarding owes us nothing.

We’re extremely stoked to have been one of a number of real skate shops that received a co-branded poster featuring the one and only John Cardiel, a cat that bleeds skateboarding. Check it:

If you aren’t familiar with John’s legacy in skateboarding, either check out his 16-part interview/biography on Epicly Later’d, or come by the shop and watch the whole thing on DVD, over and over again until you realize how inspiring Cards is.

On top of that, you’ll notice that the ad is for the new Spitfire F1 Streetburners and Parkburners… me and Kerry can both attest that these may be the best wheels that Spitfire has put out yet. You won’t be dissapointed… they’re just sick as hell.

Dorking it, like hard core, yo:

I can’t help but be stoked on the Small Times’ heads that not only showed up, but kicked a little ass at the Jam this year! Props to Jordan, Gnarly Trey, Thomas, Ernie, Joe (STS w00t w00t!), and more props to The Skate Spot for having the Gumbo Bowl Jam, as well as all of the skaters from everywhere that got together and made it happen. When it comes to contests, getting a big random crew of skaters from all over together is the most important thing… sort of like family reunions, you know?

Credits on the sick footy go out to McNeil Imaging. Good stuff.

…more to come!

This is one of the first Small Time Skates video clips… I finally put it up on You Tube:
