So we had a test party last week for all of our OR peeps. Filled a couple kitty pools full of booze, bought out a taco stand and hired a DJ. Then we threw open the garage door and waited to see what happened. Long story short, shit popped off proper like and the melee spilled out into the streets. We forcibly shut things down around 3am and called an armada of cabs to haul our hard partying friends home. We officially declare this test party a success and are currently planning something that is sure to bring the riot police. Thanks to Planet Gear Discrete Headwear and Outdoor Utah Adventure Journal for throwing down with us. Good times.
We recently just swooped up the white wizard of all developers. A big STS welcome to infamous Josh Batchelor. This dude is 2 legit 2 quit. Got any nerd questions? Come at him bro. Chances are he’s been there and done that. Twice. With his eyes closed. While eating 3 Otter Pops. He gets things done on the computers so hard he makes Neo look like a luddite. Did we mention he takes care of business on a snowboard too? We’re stoked to have him aboard the STS express and can’t wait to see what craziness he conjures up with his glorious code.
This has been the summer of exotic interns at STS. We’ve got peeps representing Brazil, France, Mexico, the Philippines and even the Navajo nation. We have a feeling we learned more from them than they did from us. Things like: Frenchys embarrass Brazilians at ping-pong. Filipinos eat Honey Nut Cheerios nonstop and can carry 5 times their body weight in stacks of paper. IBS is a dominant trait in Mexicans. A Navajo Taco has 30,000 calories. Brazilians have an irrational fear of mangos and milk mixing together and killing you.
Today we are losing the first of our foreign friends. Hugo the Frenchy is going back home to hop around with his fellow froggies, eat baguettes and practice his epic mime routine in his tight stripped shirt and raspberry beret. We will miss him. Even though he is hardwired to hate Americans, we hope he makes an exception for his STS family in his cold black French heart.
Here at STS we are equal opportunity board designers. Snowboards, skateboards, headboards, whatever. If it’s a board and it needs designing we will do it up nice n’ tight. The only board we won’t touch is a waterboard. We have to draw the line somewhere, sorry Mr. Cheney. Peep the new crop of skate decks we did up for Sims and Kryptonics that should be hitting your local shops in a hot minute. (more…)
The AIGA hit us up to bring some heat to this years 100 show. So we obliged. After settling on a 3D meets Brother Brigham look, we sprinkled it out in generous proportions over their invitations, posters, book, and environmental graphics. Super stoked how this one turned out. Was great working with the AIGA crew. Good peeps. Good times. (more…)
We like hood rat street things. So when we heard Rob Dyrdek and DC Shoes were putting together their own street skate series we were jazzed. When we were asked to do up the Street League Facebook app, that jazzed feeling shot straight from our core down into our fingertips. And that’s when it happened. We all broke out in spontaneous jazz hands. It was embarrassing.
If you have a steady job like we do and can’t trip around the country taking in all of Street League’s gnarly glory, this app is for you. Just jump on the Facebook and watch it all go down LIVE from every stop on the tour. Peep facebook.com/streetleague to catch every second of the ridiculousness. Big ups to our boys at MSI and DC for making this happen.
