As of late we have a few updates regarding the last New Balance Numeric Post. New Balance as a brand has stayed true to its roots in regards of styling and quality, which you can see from the pics below. They have maintained the standards that have brought this company to where they are right now and they continue to do so through whatever route they may happen to take. As a competitive athlete in the 70′s and an avid skater in the 80′s, Mike has been able to partner with Jamie Thomas and combine the genius between these two companies to dive into the market of another athletic footwear department. A number of athletic companies such as Nike and Adidas have been accused of going into this market already, and New Balance is the the latest to hop aboard and take part in the skate industry.
If you’re familiar with New Balance, you know that they incorporate a numbering system that identifies every model they come out with instead of names and descriptions. However, New Balance Numeric will feature four styles of shoes that are all named after Bostonian Terms such as the Logan, Stratford, Brighton, and the Quincy.
The question is, does skateboarding need another athletic shoe giant to get involved in the industry? The argument is conclusive to the fact that it doesn’t matter. From a marketing and business standpoint there is no reason as to why they shouldn’t get involved. They have been in the footwear industry for years now and it would make a lot of sense for them to put out quality products that cater to another crowd of prospected customers. Its also expected for PJ Ladd to be the very first addition to NB# skate team as well. Sow with all in all being said, be on the lookout for New Balance Numeric to hit the shelves here at Stix very soon!

In case you didn’t know, National Go Skate Day was on the 21st of June. Well, here at Stix we believe skating should be an every day thing. Nike SB seems to have the same frame of mind with the launch of their Skate Every Damn Day campaign. It’ll consist of a month long crusade that includes an incredible lineup of pro’s from the likes of Eric Koston, Sean Malto, Stefan Janowski, as well as Paul Rodriguez.
During this month long adventure, these stuntdevils are said to have individual interviews that’ll take each skater on a journey into their memory banks explaining different shred spots that lead them to where they are today. Once July 21st hits, the good people down at Nike will release an all new Nike SB commercial including the awesome Nike SB team showcasing their talent in China.

Ever wondered what it feels like to shred with the pro’s? If you ever had the opportunity I’m sure it was a good one, or maybe not since they busted your chops at s.k.a.t.e. Well in this case, Vans and Pro-Tec gave us the option to have some kind of connection with these guys. They mic’d up some of our favorite skaters during a bowl session that gave us the feeling of being there.
Its pretty cool to hear Jesse Fritsch telling Tony Hawk and Bucky Lasek which tricks to do. It was a unique experience providing the different aspect of their use of audio. It has been a pleasure, and were definitely looking forward to the actual Pro-Tec pool party competition. Stay Tuned!

The first step for a skater to be recognized can be a number of things. It all starts with dedication, commitment, and hard work. It could start with the first day you stepped on your board. The dedication aspect will tie into your development as a skater, whether it may be a few injuries or countless pairs of shoes to damage. In the end you reap what you sow, and if you think you have what it takes, then the opportunity is here for the taking.
Element along with the Berrics have been hosting a contest across the nation for an opportunity to prove yourself. Its not too late to compete in the finals, all you have to do is send in a one minute video of yourself at any skatepark showcasing your best tricks. The winner of the finals will not only take a completely paid trip, but they’ll be able to spend a day at the Berrics with the Element crew, along with the possibility to be sponsored by Element as well.
