the berrics: public notice with blood wizard and lifeblood!

blood wizard!



"the blood wizard was stillborn and left to rot in the hollow of an ancient gnarled tree deep in a dark forest. after three days and nights, an angry storm rose up to devour the countryside killing all who lived there. at midnight the sky exploded in a wicked bolt of lightning that ripped through the heart of the tree and into the corpse of the blood wizard. when the storm passed, the blood wizard was alive and cursed with the terrible magic of blood and fire. with the wood from the tree that was his tomb, he made these skateboards for those with the courage to survive their power. to ride with the blood wizard is to ride the lightning edge between life and death, at the threshold of fire, on the sacred wood he created."

lifeblood skateboards!



"lifeblood skateboards is an independently owned and operated company run by skateboarders through and through. veteran skate photographer and pro skater bryce kanights co-founded the brand in july of 2010 with the mindset to promote and progress skateboarding on a core level with road trips and the committed desire to skate all sorts of terrain out there. 

the current team is a tight group of skilled friends which includes kevin kowalski, cody lockwood, mason merlino, dalton dern, joshua rodriguez and canadian adam hopkins, matched with its age advanced lifer squad with charlie wilkins, barker barrett, mark scott, bryce kanights and scott koerner. 

from discovering and skating new spots to designing board shapes and graphics, from constructing skateparks to showing a kid how to get that first grind, this is what it’s all about for us. skating is our life; it’s in our blood!"

put it back in the streets!

first it was the espn x games then street league and now the olympics? com’on, tony! this is not funny at all...! skateboarding should remain in da streets and not in some fancy stadium!



could skateboarding become an olympic sport? following the success of snowboarding and freestyle skiing at the sochi winter olympics in january, the organisers are apparently considering it seriously.

tony hawk has been invited to several meetings about it and recently told larry king he believes it will be part of the games by 2020.
