Get Happy!

We just got a little bit happier because our friend and skateboard legend Ronnie Creager picked up a bunch of our wheels to sell on his webstore, HappySkateboarding.com. The wheels aren't up quite yet but he gave us a sick product review on that portion of his site. Rumor has it that Ronnie even keeps a sml. sticker on his laptop that he carries with him everywhere he goes. Go support Ronnie and buy something from his store!

Do Nick's trick..

Nick Mclouth is rad and his skating speaks for it's self, buttery smoove and clean! We at sml. are currently hooking him up with some wheels. The good guys over at www.eighteqalsd.com have a little contest to win some free wheels.

eS Prairie Dogs Roadtrip

Austyn Gillette and flow rider Danny Garcia took a trip this past summer for an eS road trip. Slap recently posted an article for your viewing pleasure.

Our new flow rider..

We have a new flow rider, his name is Danny and he is pretty good.....well, you tell us what you think. Here he is at his friend Paul's private TF.

SML Now Available in Canada, eh!

If you happen to reside north of the US border, you can now find our wheels at Blue Tile Lounge in Newmarket, ON., near Toronto. Blue Tile is the epitome of a real skate shop, and they just moved into a new location so go check them out! Thank BTL, and thanks to our good buddy Morgan Smith for hookin it up.

My Downtown showdown.

I made it to the Vans Downtown showdown cause the Blind squad was asked to participate in the contest with 7 other sick teams. I normally would have been sulking at my house cause it is really hard to watch skating live for me and not get out there and shred myself. I made up my mind to go and support my teammates also for a little shmoozing and boozing, and well mofucky my boys won that shit! Nice work Jani, Jake, Morgan, Rob, Grant, Ronnie, Bill and Jakos and thanks for throwing me a bone in these tuff economic times!


Jub Jub was working webcast style for the showdown


Bill and Jake Brown enjoy a cold one.


And I found a little gremlin who lived off beer so I fed it then it did a 16 foot gap to lip slide, oi! Good work mate!


Haha bet this dude wants a cold brew.

Congrats to Blind...

For winning the Vans Downtown Showdown yesterday. James couldn't skate but I'm sure his presence alone encouraged the rest of the team to triumph. James' teammate Jani whatever-his-last-name-is took the whole contest and the whole Blind team, including our good buddy Morgan Smith, took home some loot. I wasn't there to witness the event but I'm sure Austyn did his fair share of ripping for the Habitat team as well.

Downtown Showdown 08

James will be hanging out and Austyn will be shredding for the Habi squad tonight at the Vans Downtown Showdown. The bad news for James is that you actually have to PAY for beer at this event. Watch the webcast for sml. filmer JubJub's HD footy here.
