Andrew Langi: 2nd Place Autumn Bowl Jam

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Last weekend, Andrew headed out to the east coast for the Autumn Bowl Jam in Brooklyn. While there he made it worth his while taking home 2nd place and skating in ways that only he can.

This is what ESPN’s Adam Salo had to say about Andrew’s skating

“Some highlights from all the skating that went down included… Andrew Langi doing nosegrind pop ins, frontside flips and head high madonnas in the bowl’s 7-foot deep end…”

Andrew really rips, if you haven’t seen this him in real life brace yourself when you do.

Anthony Williams: 48 Blocks

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Anthony Williams has been putting in work and people are taking notice, first he picked up Axion and now he’s joined I&I skateboards. Of course along with success comes rumors and hate, is Anthony Williams the Jay-Z of skateboarding or the Lil Wayne? Is he about to drop the equivalent of the Blueprint 3 or the Carter 3? Wanna know more about these topics or if you’re just confused about why the hell I’m talking about Jay and Wayne then head over to 48blocks.com.

Also to check out Anthony’s 48 blocks part or some of his other recent videos posted below.

Buchi Hirotoshi on Force Trucks Japan

Friday, September 11th, 2009

This summer our intern Ben went to Japan and skated/hung out with some of the up and coming Japanese riders. While he was there he met up with Kawabuchi Hirotoshi, or just Buchi. Buchi’s been killing it in Japan for years, but not just in Japan cause he’s been traveling all over the world to places like Vancouver and Austrailia. In fact Buchi is pretty good friends not just with our intern but also with some of our riders like Spencer Hamilton and Darrell Stanton.

Spencer had this to say when he found out that his old friend Buchi was joining the team:

“I’ve known Buchi for years now…just from skating the Vancouver plaza a lot we became good friends. Buchi’s amazing, has tricks for days, and great vibes. Welcome to the team homes!”

What is it that little kids say? Something like “takes one to know one,” so if Spencer is giving his stamp of approval Buchi has got to be doing something right.

We’re all psyched to have Buchi repping for us on the Force Trucks Japan Team. Stay on the look out for Buchi, he’ll be on this side of the ocean in no time.

The Force Trucks team is always making moves and bringing together the best skateboarders in the industry and now we ware proud to announce our brand new rider Paul Trep.

We thought it would be good to introduce Paul with an iText Interview so everyone could get to know him better. Read through Force Trucks rep Geordie Gillies text messages with Paul to find out more about what’s to come.

I promise you won’t want to hop on the bandwagon late cause Paul Trep is going to have a huge amount of fans soon. Read on…
