The latest Foundation news and more.
Ethan Fowler, Daniel Shimizu, Corey Duffel, and Leo Romero are all back from the most successful Europe tour ever entitled "THE FOUNDATIONS EUROPEAN VACATION!" The first stop was the Netherlands where the team shredded five consecutive demos and signing thousands of autographs. Unfortunately Ethan shredded his back off here and was hurt for the rest of the trip. After the demos, this hungry team was on the search for real street spots and the came across a sketchy 14 step rail that Corey and Leo pulverized! The consistency of these two are unbelievable and left the crowd in awe. After killing this rail Corey found an ollie over an 8 step rail with a 15 foot drop on the other side. The thing was super knarly and he did this without any hesitation while it was raining. After the Netherlands the crew was off to Russia on the search for more spots and came across a banana show at a local Russian bar where we tried the finest Vodkas and watched the ladies do unthinkable things. Somebody even got to eat the banana but I am not mentioning any names. Ha ha! After Russia they where off to Germany on the search and came across some beautiful, long 14 step hubba. Daniel started out with the grinding smoothest bs smith with ease, after this Corey threw down a pop shuv 50-50 and a frontside nose slide, and Leo cleaned up with fs and bs nosegrinds + 180 nose grinding it. Next stop Paris for more demos that went off without a hitch but the best always waits til after the demos. Paris went off when we found a perfect lengthy marble hubba where Corey Duffel ruled the show powering out an amazing kickflip fs 5-0 followed up by a pop shuvit 5-0. Overall Europe was a blast filled with amazing skateboarding and wild nights. Thanks for the good times!!!!!!! You can check out the good times in articles in upcoming TWS "USA" and Document Skateboarding "Germany "magazines.
Foundation's Justin Strubing is on a 2 month Europe trip to film for the upcoming Foundation video and skate with the Ezekiel team.
Gareth Stehr, Tony Silva and Mike Rusczyk are finally back from Okinawa, Japan. They were recently seen on the island ripping demos for our men in uniform, the Marines. After the demos we had to go and check out the local nightlife. The first stop was a Bar called Seventh Heaven where we watched a Japanese Metallica cover band rock out. They where really cool and let us play there instruments after there set in front of everyone at the bar. One day was really awesome when we all climbed down this insane cliff after all the locals had told us scary stories about how people died there, and at the bottom was this crazy cave where you could go swimming and check out all these fishes and stuff. Josh Beagle's high school buddies took us to a bunch of local spots and also taught us the logistics of how to do donuts in a car, almost nailing Josh in the process. But all in all it was a successful trip full of skating, eating, drink'in, shop'in, and hot Japanese girls.
Leo Romero has just finished up a Thrasher interview and an Automatic interview + Cover in no time at all. I guess when you could go out and shoot a twelve page interview with all hammers in a week this is no problem. All I can say is Keep an eye out for Leo and don't miss his part in the upcoming Foundation video because he is on fire!!!!!!
Gareth Stehr has been on his own path of destruction lately. Going bigger and faster than ever. He is currently waiting on his visa so he can start his journey of becoming a lazy American.
Look out for Corey Duffel's Heckler interview + the cover out now. Can't stop the all meat eating Duffman!!!!
Jon West is back! And Jon called action! He's been held up recently with his schooling. Jon learned all kinds of new skillz at film school and is ready to get some school back on in skateboarding. He is graduating very soon, congratulations Jon!
kirchart-chris and big scoobs were seen lately in SD, killing a bigass flat bar with Gareth Stehr and Josh Beagle. They were getting down like nobody's bizznass.
