Another amazing video installment by the incomparable Evan Schiefelbine. Music by Murs!

Our Seattle corespondent (Evan Schiefelbine) checks in with a second episode of his video collage series. This particular episode stars none other than Daniel Edward Garcia who recently made the trek up North to Seattle.

The hottest thing in skateboarding returns and this time it’s up to us, the skate rats that have computers, to decide on who goes to the battle. It’s the Battle At The Berrics 2 and this time you can vote on who competes! Who’s going to be the next Benny Fairfax? Who’s going to come down with a bizarre skin disease and get disqualified? Who’s going to come – not so correct? Who knows! Here’s the deal – go to the Berrics web site and cast your vote for your favorite skaters and make sure to include the dudes from the Liberty Boardshop squadron – even young Butters made the list. You can vote for a total of 32 soldiers to go heads up.

Make sure to vote for these guys – they ride for Ye Old Liberty Boardshop (The only shop that’s made it this far – running on fumes.)

Austyn Gillette

James Craig

Stefan Janoski

Tim O’Connor

Devine Calloway

Danny Garcia

Go to the Berrics to cast your vote.

This is sort of like a combo team update thingy. The CPU’s are running incredibly slow. Is this all a ploy to be sold on higher speeds of internet bandwidth? Very similar to the idea of toll roads – pay money but really don’t get any where any faster.

Stefan Janoski, the man the myth, doing what he does – rippage. He’s got a couple clips in there alongside the ever deepening Nike SB squad. If you haven’t already seen the video on the Nike SB site then you can watch it here. Yes, we lag and it’s sort of becoming our signature. There is beauty in sharing code my friends – it’s called open source. Enjoy it now because like everything else out there, that is cool – they will find a way to charge you money for it. Just like getting your card.

Austyn Gillette takes the front page of the Royal Trucks site with back nose blunt at one of our favorite, much harder to skate than it looks spots. He is wearing a Liberty T in that photo so we’ll expect him to show up looking for some incentive cheddar and asking for the van keys to make his way to Ikea – it’s what he does with his money. To each his own.

Tim O’Connor was recently on a road trip through the Great Southwest with his wife Jody and his dog No Comments – we’ll be looking for a road update from him really soon.

Devine Calloway recently tweaked his ankle and is out for at least 5 weeks . Get better buddy – we miss you.

Danny Garcia is back in the Brea zone and recently played in the annual Team BK Put Up Or Shut Up 3 on 3 basketball tournament. *Fun Fact – Dgar is very good at basketball and pretty much carried the weight of the team. He can take it to the rack, can pull up from any distance and is a fierce competitor. He may have had the highlight of the tourney with a no look pass to a stunned Jeff Chikami who actually converted on the play. Young Chikami also has a sweet stroke himself. Danny Tryon (skate counter extraordinaire) hustled his stoney heart out even on a torn ACL. This author was the sub / scrub and did very little to actually help the team – although a case could be made for lock down defense and best water boy. We did win one game and the tourney was a great time – special thanks to Team BK - we had no idea it was a sort of real b-ball tournament.

That leaves us with last but certainly not least – JC flowage – also known as James Craig. After a long recovery period from a seriously broken arm – We are happy to report James has recently jumped back on board making an appearance at the very epic Volcom Skate night that took place last week.

All is right with the world. Smiles and high fives all around.

Morse Code – Episode 4 Will Work For Food

The people have spoken and John Fool has responded. This one is a banger. Get your 3D goggles, popcorn, soda pop, and lubricant. Even the video man himself has logged some tricks. What do you do when the opportunity of a helping hand presents itself? You ollie stairs, you super size, spend the rest on a twelver and call up the midnight lurker…

The cast, in order of appearance;  John Morse (JohnFool), Billy Senga (Bill Sir), Jeff Chikami, Danny Garcia, Chase Morse, Austyn Gillette, and none other than Brad Herrera – he’s working his smelly way back into our hearts. Nice work Brad. For real – we’re being serious.

It’s up there ^ and right here.

You can now buy a very solid EP from our very own house band – Mother’s Sons. It’s very good – and it’s only $5 bucks. You can’t even get tube socks for that price anymore. We likey. 

Check what more respected publications are saying about it:

“For Mothers Sons, the craft of mingling a fiery brand of folk rock with a shot of blues and poetic observation has earned them a growing buzz in cramped clubs and bars all over Orange County.” – Oc Weekly 

Check their myspace. 

Or you can buy it.

John Fool is making moves these days – the kid’s got bomb stamina and is a connoisseur of fine stews and future foods (sushi). He now has his own internet skateboard show. This episode features such Liberty Team members as Austyn Gillette, Chris Di Filippo, Jeff Chikami, Brad Herrera, Chase Morse, James Craig, with an extra special appearance from Brian Wenning (Seriously) and Danny Garcia. It’s pretty buttery – it’s like going to Soup Plantation and getting 2 plates right when you start.

This is a good band. Danny plays bass. Check for yourself. 

If you are in lovely So Cal this October check them out:

We feel like this part was widely slept on this year. Danny just makes everything look so easy. Inhabitants is really a great work of art – go out and buy it.
