This past weekend Arto Saari and the rest of the Gravis skate team went on a little drive stopping at skate shops all over southern california to promote the launch of Arto's newest shoe, the ARTO LX. Using the high tech communication service of Twitter.com we set out "tweeting" our where abouts and which shops we were hitting up next. At each stop we surprised the shop employees and customers alike with our star studded entourage of Dylan Rieder, Sammy Winter, Steve Forstner and of course Arto Saari. The shop kids were tripping out when they watched Arto and the boys walk in through those doors, and start handing out his newest shoe for free like it was candy. Well it wasnt candy but it sure was sweet to see the look on the kiddies'  faces as they met the Gravis team and got autographs and fresh kicks. So after a weekend full of twits and tweeds we are now getting ready to hit the road again...this time across the U.S. of A. so be sure to follow the Gravis Footwear Twitter page to find out where you can score some new Arto shoes... again...until then...ummm, you get the idea. 

Steve Forstner is currently spending his days and nights in the city of Berlin, where he has been getting into more than his fare share of mischief and mayhem. Living like a true jipo means you must always push the boundaries of your mind, body and soul....while at the same time tripping the rest of the general public out. Steve has been spending some of those cold German nights hitting the streets to do just that, and with absolute pinnacle results, here are some sneak peak photos into whats soon to come from a gypsy in Berlin.....

another stop for the Analog/Gravis Skatepark Daze brought us to the famous Burton store of in Los Angeles. On top of the roof parking lot we had the bbq fired up and the kegs were flowing sweet sweet nectar, but most importantly there was some proper skateboarding going down on the alien workshop ramp, plus a grueling, impressive game of s.k.a.t.e. which had the winner walk away with a bunch of gear and some alien workshop decks and wheels. The product toss was nothing short of mayhem as Analog and Gravis gear flung through the air, which almost led to a little scrap between kids over a skate deck, but they peacefully resolved the matter. Good sport lads. There was over 200 people in attendance which ment the food and booze were a big hit. Plus there was some sick skaters to watch for entertainment such as mini killer Lee Loughridge who was doing massive front blunts all over the ramp. But also props to all the skaters who came, you guys were throwing down some serious shit!! Big thanks to the boys over at the Alien workshop store like Josh and Sam, as well as everyone from the Burton side of things for coming out and making it a great time and keeping things classy over in L.A...and biggest thanks to all the people who joined in the fun and we hope to see you at our last two stops of the summer!! September 4th @ Santa Ana centennial skatepark and September 11th @ San Clemente skatepark..BE THERE!!!

There was a photo contest held in amsterdam last week and we sent ove none other than Dylan Rieder and Jake Johnson to take the cake, and well, they did just that.... with the help of photographer Jonathon Mehring..WINNING PHOTO BELOW...
