Ed Templeton got third at Triple Crown.

Ed Templeton scored an amazing turd place with a flawless run at the Triple Crown contest in Oceanside. I heard an insider say, "Ed Templeton kind of surpassed everyone by skating like a madman all weekend and noseblunt sliding across and down the funbox ledge with ease. Ed was seriously killing it and walked away with 10,000 bucks, which buys a lot of gold Toy Machine medallions." Check out the run of a madman by clicking on Ed's run.

New AMs on Pig!

As you’ve probably heard, Richie Belton left Ricta for Pig wheels. Good move Richie! Don “the Nuge” has also joined the rankes of the elite Pig team. Oink, oink.

F team news.

Foundation picked up a new AM. Hand rail master Tony Silva. Not Da Silva, just straight up Silva. He’s new and kicking arse! Watch for him in and the rest of the F Galm boys in Foundations Tragic Hysteria tour on 411 #49.

In other F AM news, Mike Rusczyk has a mini interview coming up in the next Slap, issue # December. Mike Rusczyk is also in line for knee surgery, “he has some torn up shit in there”. Plus, Mike just accepted sponsorship for Speed Metal bearings, look for the 2 page ad in mags now.

The F in Europe article will be in Transwolrd issue # January. Look for the escapades of Daniel Shimizu, Mike Rusczyk and Justin Roy as they unleash their homicidal activities on the streets of Europe. I heard the stories and they sound like fun.

Justin Strubing and Daniel Shimizu are cruising out to Spain for the Barcelona contest. If your on that side of the globe, go check em and let em know you care. After the contest they’ll be on a filming mission for the new and highly anticipated Emerica video.

Now go skate!

The Weaklings.

Just recently Ethan Fowler went on a tour with his Portland band The Weakings. They went down the west coast playing shows at select locations, culminating at the Casbah in San Diego, where they were welcomed by an onslaught of admiring fans. Go to your local record store and look for their music, but don’t look for them on tour again, cause shortly after the tour they broke up.

Wreck shit!

Ruckus is the new word on the street for metal. Trucks that is. Look for Jason Adams, Kris Markovich and Ethan Fowler wrecking shit! RUCKUSMETAL.com

Star & Moon beanie and a pack o stickers! Nice little package if I do say so myself. Look for Matt Munn around Layton, Utah with a Z!

FOSKCO.com What's happening?

Here's the gist on what's going on with the site. Mainly you may have seen a slow down in updates mainly due to myself being swamped. When I got back from tour I just got back into work mode and lagged on the adding to the journal. I have a bunch of photos that Cronan sent that I will post . I was writing the editorial and when I left I was hoping someone on the trip would take over but that did not happen so why don't one of you wackos that attended tour events write up something and we'll add it to the site.

The fall season new graphics are out now. Ethan and our art staff came up with some killer shit. There's the good news series. The TV series and ad series. The ad series match recent ads like Jon West Blood Fest and Daniel Shimizu FoundAsian. We also have some new mini decks as well as new Poolrider decks for you old goats. Check them out in our Get the Goods gear search. Demand from your local shop or hit up Hanger 18 and Skateboard.com because they are both close by and can get it quick.

Other crap. Been getting some new tattoos including Jason Graffius' whippersnappers and This other guy that got the F Skull pretty big on his forearm. Rocking. The team has been cranking. Look for themm in the mags and a detailed repport here soon. Here's a letter from a fan man. Keep on rolling. -Swank

Subject: YOU GUYS RULE!

Hey Foundation,

I just wanted to write and say that Foundation fucking rocks! You guys have the best team of heshers out there! I am a fan of technical skating, but recently I bought Foundation's new vid "Art Bars - Subtitles and Seagulls," and it fucking rocks! My favorite part was Kris Markovich's part as well as Daniel Shimizu's part. Daniel's style is fucking amazing. It's like his ass touches the ground after a big rail...and then, a smooth rebound back up. It has been my favorite video out of a collection of many. That Jon West film at the end was sweet, too. I just wanted to acknowledge that all Tum Yeto companies rock...If I got a reply from the owner or whatever, or anyone on Foundation, it would make my dull, boring life a lot better. I think I'm gonna stop talking now, because I know you guys are busy skating and stuff. By the way, I can't skate for about 2 more weeks, because of some bogus knee problems...Anyway, keep up the good work. Thanks for your time...If you even read my sappy letter...

Sincerely yours, A skateboarder named Brandon Getty.
