The next big thing in skateboarding, Cory Kennedy, took Active on a little video tour through his life. Cruise around Santa Monica with "Wonder Boy," eat a paninim, skate the strand, skate a park and call it a day. check out a Slice of Life with Cory Kennedy:

Ever wish you could talk like pro skater, Brandon Biebel. You know, a stoney Sac-Town reppa' who has a few of his own original sayings. Well, look no further fella' the folks over at Medicine Agency have just what the doctor ordered. The Brandon Biebel soundboard iPhone app., otherwise known as Biebel's World. Just figure out what you want to say and this app. will translate it into Biebel for you. Click here to peep it.

Until recently the Biebel dialect was thought of as impossible to learn. That is, before a team of Sacramento maintenance men discovered the Arco Stone. Much like the Rosetta Stone that helped uncover how the Egyptian system of hyroglifics worked. The Arco Stone, which was found under Arco Arena, where the Sacramento Kings play, by a few men digging a hole has broken the once un-breakable code that is the language of Biebel. This is for sure worth checking out.

We're all feeling the pinch of the current hard economic times, and big time pro skateboarders aren't excluded. Even
onesthat sign with big companies like Nike. Yup, Eric Koston had to get asecond job making pretzels at an Auntie Anne's. You heard right, I sawhim the other day at the Valley mall twisting some dough.

Just kidding, Daryl Angel found this dude the other day, took a photo, and sent it on over to Crailtap.I'd have to say that is a dead on match for the Frost man. If theChocolate video has a big ellaborate intro like Fully Flared did, andthey want Koston to partake again, he won't need show up. This guy canbe his stunt double.

Hell, I think Koston should put this guyon retainer. You know for demos, and all the other "meet and creep"things he has to go to. All he'll have to do is top whatever AuntieAnnie pays.

Girl skateboards had their 8th annual open house the other day. They open the doors to their skate facility, feed everyone In and Out, and show the industry what to expect from Girl/Chocolate/Fourstar/Royal/Skate Mental/Lakai in the upcoming year. They do this pretty much so they don't have to go to the tradeshows, which kickoff tomorrow down in San Diego. Jake Phelps and the Thrasher crew made a little video of the event check it out:

You can always count on Mr. Koston for good tweets, or twits, or whatever you call them. Here's the first twit of the year that made the cut:

"I wish LA was always hungover."

I feel the same way. Today's a good day to get stuff done, the freeways are clear.
