Torey Pudwill is on a one man mission to single handedly produce more editorial content than the rest of his almost peers. Guess who's working on another Interview. This one is said to be a Milestone of sorts. Torey also finds himself returning from Edmonton Canada where he partook in a WEST 49 demonstration, where he was quoted as "the demo/signing Killer!"
Lewis Marnell has been invited/nominated as one of the Years best Swedish Skaters operating outside of Sweden. The festivities are set to commemorate on December 13th.
In contest related News, the Viva Prahran 2008 contest went down in Prahran, Victoria, Australia where Lewis took Best Trick in Street and Flow Team Rider Shane O'Neill won the Sponsored Street Division.
If you have not yet, which I prey you have, please be sure to check out Lewis's latest Interview effort as "The All Seeing I" in Kingpin November Issue #59. Lewis shot the whole kabosh in four days!
Greg Lutzka has been Blowing up on MySpace!
Daewon Song will be answering questions in the post-modern offering of SLAP Magazine, you should be able to attain all the insight you thought to ask about and forgot to submit.
Rodney Mullen is without a doubt on the street now at this very moment! Creating new methods of standardized skateboarding. He is most definitely taking his part in the new almost video very seriously. At his age you have to appreciate what he has and continues to achieve! I wish I could give you a sneak peek but that just wouldn't be fair to your eyes.
Cooper Wilt has been spending most of his waking hours in front of the lens of Seu Trinh of TWS fame. So far it's been difficult to pin Seu down since he's become quit popular as of late and seems to have once again embraced the idea of traveling outside of the South of California. But rest assured that when Seu is back in the So-Cal saddle again, Cooper will have plenty of content for his well worn glass eye of sorts.
