News From January 2006
Look Into the Eyes of Your Life Owner
Josh Harmony took this pic in Lyon while on a skate mission with Mr. Mortagne. Just out of frame is a swarm of a million rollerbladers, and I'm not talking about the boot grabbing, railing dancing variety, but a lamer Euro strain, that takes to couple-skating, cone weaving, and cigarette smoking.
Oh yeah, new video, "Suffer the Joy" coming soon. Hold your breath...

He skated this thing first but Devine got a photo of the same trick in the magazine first, so we never used it... (this sometimes happens...)
But now we unleash it for the Austin fans...

Tum Yeto decks rated #1 for 2005!
Tum Yeto
Pop Top
Wood/Composite
9 stars
Great buy for any skater! Very close to the average on weight. Great deck design. Within the STDV on flexural test. Did great on slide wear and abrasion resistance test. Also tested well on the fatigue test. Overall well within the average set by the composite decks tested.
Tum Yeto
Foundation
Wood/Composite
9 1/2 Stars
Great composite decks that have a unique appearance. These decks are very close in weight to the average set by this testing. They really stand out from the crowd. Decks very similar to the average set for the Flexural testing. Did great on the slide and impact test. Did well on the abrsion resistance test and slide wear test. Decks also did well on the fatigue test and the torsial test.
Company statement: This is sent to you only!! Experimental
Great skateboards:
deck 1 Experimental deck black graphics
deck 2 Experimental deck red graphics
deck 3 fire mold
deck 4 rocker mold
deck 5 tea-spoon mold
Deck 1 and 2 of this lot are among the best tested this year. Low pressure drop numbers on the fatigue test. No major problems found. The lot got a 9 1/2 based upon these two decks.
Deck # 3 a little stiffer on the starting pressure in the fatique test and a little higher pressure drop during the cycle.
Deck 4 had the lowest fatique test starting pressure among the lot, this means it is a little more flexable, but all the lot were toward the high end of the STDV.
Deck 5 had the highest pressure drop of the lot, 154 pounds of force. Meaning it will not last quite as long but still within the STDV.
Pop top statement: Decks tested well on all areas of the testing. Deck #1 in the lot had the highest pressure drop on the fatigue test (181). It exceeded the STDV.

"My Mom Loves Transworld" - WINNER
After long hours and tons of entries....We have finally decided who had an entry that was unique, creative, and unlike anything we have seen.
Congratulations! BRADEN BAER
Braden's "Blood-Mid" took the idea of a shoe colorway and went outside the box of traditional thinking and created something that we felt deserved the grand prize, relieving his Mom from having to buy skate shoes for a year.
Runner-up: Stephen Williams
Stephen also, had some very interesting colorways that deserved a mention on the site. His ability to experiment with some different patterns caught our eye and earned him a spot for second place.

Toy Team signing at the Trade Show!!!
The ENTIRE Toy Machine team will be attending the Trade Show in San Diego, California to watch the world premiere of the preview trailer of our new video, "SUFFER the JOY"
Be there at 4:30 on Saturday January 21st!!!!
Rush security and get beat up by Samoans!
See tons of hangers-on lurking and 'networking' and trying to shmooze their way to the top of the skate world, see grown men with plastic bags filled with free stickers, see leering crowds of people drooling over swimsuit models, see skimpily dressed women let men place stickers on their asses, see sad people posting up in their booths of stupid products that not one person will EVER stop to even look at, shake over 2000 people's hands - picking up as many diseases as possible, attend one of the after parties and get filled with liquor, become shit-faced, and then drunk drive home!!!!!!
All of this awaits you at the wonderful Trade Show!!!

Matt B Meets Doug
You meet some interesting folks on the road, and Matt's buddy Doug doesn't disappoint. He looked like a Hell's Angel, smelled of motor oil, and had built an engine for his bicycle. Matt B just tripped out on him while Ed got his vegan fix somewhere in Oregon.
