How appropriate is it that Etnies made history on National Go Skate Day. Not only did they set the Guiness world record for the biggest skateboard lesson ever taught, but they did it for a great cause as well. The lesson was given by Pierre Andre Senizergues the owner and CEO of Etnies that covered a range of 311 skateboarders of various ages. The record called for a number of 250 people to be included in the lesson in order to set the record, and with the help of mass support from skaters everywhere, the Etnies skatepark of Lake forest broke the required number of more than 50 members.
This historical occasion was held in memory of a young skater by the name of Thomas Johnson. He was only 8 when he passed from a terminal cancer a couple years back in 2010. The gathering was washed with orange, one of Thomas’ favorite colors. His community along with Etnies and the rest of his supporters rallied together to raise funds for cancer treatment and awareness.
Skating was said to be Thomas’ outlet to his illness, and skating was what set him free from his burdens. Thomas Johnson will not be forgotten and his influence is now known to be an inspiration to all of us.

The Deadly Skateboarding Sins. If you aren’t familiar with these crimes, then its time to get acquainted. Either that or let the real skaters be the judge. True skateboarders know these wrongdoings by heart, and will continually call out any individual accused of these charges.
The first on the agenda would be the Vain skater. Ironically theres no such thing for real skaters anyway, but to sum it up theres no reason to worry about your outfit and how dirty it may get. If you rip and shred you know how dingy, scuffed, and battered your possessions become. Leave the nail polish at home if you don’t plan on getting filthy.
Secondly, theres no reason to get mad and break your board. It wasn’t your board’s fault that busted your chops, it was you. Put the time and effort into your technic and it should eventually pay off. Other than that, breaking your board will leave you on foot and mad again for the next few weeks until you waste your money and buy another one… Right?
Thirdly, through luck or chance you happen to have access to a sick skating spot such as a ramp or empty pool, yet nobody has your permission to use it. Instead of providing a haven, you abuse your power like a sprinkled donut eating cop at a traffic stop. Either that or everyone looks at you like that one kid in elementary that wouldn’t let anyone play with his toys. Remember sharing is caring.
Now on to the next point, living in this day in age, we have grown accustomed to technology and laziness. Whether playing your PS3, watching tv, surfing the web, or browsing through netflix, it almost certainly hasn’t benefited you except for curing your boredom. Aside from the norm, some skaters might watch the same video over and over, but if you aren’t actually picking your board up and attempting the trick, then you might as well play Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.
At last, we have came to a conclusion of these atrocities, with one more to linger in your futile mind. When you smell the stench and hear the flattery and adornment of random douches around you, its time to make some moves. Not a nose slide, but actual moves into getting you past the local celebrity phase and into a legitimate situation regarding your skills. But if you’re fine with getting nowhere, do just that, no one else is going to stop you.
All in all, don’t be a Poser.

In the year of 1986, Etnies was founded by a french footwear company Rautureau Apple. A few years later a France native as well as pro skater by name of Pierre Andre Senizergues began selling Etnies in America. It went by the name of Etnies USA which later became Etnies America. The year was 1992 when it became the first skateboard footwear brand that was owned and operated by a pro skater. Pierre then acquired a licensing deal to design Etnies in the US. By 1995, Rautureau was bought out by a Euro footwear company. Not knowing what was to come about with the licensing agreement, Pierre then started Emerica, which was short for Etnies America in 96′. Rautureau Apple then listed Etnies for purchase, various companies such as Nike were interested but Pierre snagged the full rights. From that point on, Etnies and Emerica were two totally different brands with their own likeness and individuality. And that is the birth of one of the most respected skateboard brands out right now.

We don’t follow much television here at Stix but for those guys who have girlfriends (or wives), we’re pretty sure you got bamboozled into watching that Kim Kardashian/ Kris Humphries shame of a wedding. He knew what he was getting into. I’m curious to know if the other am’s that entered Tampa Am 2011 knew what they were getting into when Trevor Colden showed up. By now you know he was crowned the Tampa Am winner in Florida a few days ago and our congratulations goes out to him. It was a well deserved victory.
Trevor, hailing from Virginia, tricked his final run with a frontside crooked grind down a big bubba ledge and a flawless big spin frontside board off the rail.
Luke Hampton and Evan Smith finished in second and third respectively.
One of the most anticipated contests of the year, the victor in most cases uses the victory as a catalyst to their pro career. That’s right: Skateboarding for fun and for a living. Big things in 2012 for this kid. Colden’s sponsors include Emerica, Mystery, Thunder, Dakine, and Bones. Pay him!
