James Craig talks about Henry’s part from Tim and Henry’s pack of lies.
I was cleaning out my hard drive the other day and stumbled upon a couple clips of James watching and talking about 5 influential video parts that had a major impact on him and his skating. I filmed these about a year ago and had pretty much forgot about them. Listen to James talk about Henry’s part and drop a little background knowledge on one of the greatest video parts of all time.

Anthony Acosta Mag Minute
Damn I was so stoked to see this clip! I’ve known Anthony for a long time we’ve shared many skate sessions and perhaps even more drunken party nights. I remember going to Seu’s house in Hollywood every weekend for so long, we’d go to 80’s clubs and get drunk out of our minds. I wasn’t even 21 at the time so Seu and Anthony would have to sneak me drinks. Those were some good times… We don’t get to see each other as much lately but whenever we do he’s always the same lil’ thirst he’s always been. Click the clip and enjoy, nice work on this clip Acosta!

Austyn Gillette signature 52mm wheels available now.
Looks like the boys over at sml. wheels gave Austyn his very own amateur wheel. I like the looks of it. Liberty Boardshop has some in stock if your trying to pick up a set.

These photos happened from luck, not luck of Morgan’s skill just luck of us even being there. (More …)
Boil the Ocean: The Year That Recently Was
I was doing my usual internet lurking this morning when I saw that Boil the Ocean highlighted a couple of 2009’s crazy antics and skateboarding tricks which also included 10 video parts to watch. I was really stoked when I saw James Craig’s Blind part on the list. James and I worked really hard on that video part up until his arm injury that sidelined him from filming for the entire year before the deadline. I can’t even imagine how good his part would’ve been if he had that extra year that everybody else on the team had. I was talking to James the other day and he made sure to let me know that’s he still really hyped on skating and can’t wait to finish his next video part. Click the photo to check the article.
