Shmack Skate Team Update!

Julian Etheridge, Jed Shooter, and Matt Therres all converged in Baltimore last month for the Dew AST. Unfortunately, Julian and Jed did not make the seven-man cut (out of over 30 skaters) for the prelims the next day, but both skated well and represented Shmack with pride and style as always. Congratulations to Matt Therres, who was prequalified into the prelims, for making the final twelve skaters who moved into the final competition. You can check out photos and footage of the event at www.ast.com!

Jay Bertsch was in NYC last weekend tearing up the streets! (Probably skitchin on the back of some yellow taxi cabs.) Jay has been working hard promoting Shmack in and around Philly. Stay tuned for upcoming photos…

Mark Paluska, Glenn Newland, and Lloyd Vines continue to haunt the hangouts in Hampton Roads. Word on the street is that Julian plans to round them all up for some group footy. Shhhhh – it’s a secret.

Trevor Colden held it down at the Mid-Atlantic Skate Series (MASS) competitions. Check out the results at www.curtkimbel.com!

Jaimel Bryant took a trip out west to check out the Maloof Money Cup. As soon as he gets off his board and in his car, we expect to receive that brand new footage he keeps telling us about. Hey Jaimel!! Get on it, son!! Bring us the footy or we’ll have to take it by force!

Speaking of “Force”…both Lloyd and Julian are featured in the graphics on the front of one of the sick-ass T-shirts from Shmack’s new Fall line. Perhaps coincidentally, the name of that shirt happens to be The Force. Pick it up at your local Shmack retailer or visit the website at www.shmackclothing.com.

Mathieu “Gumbie” Therres will be in Portland, OR this upcoming weekend for the third stop of the Dew AST. We expect feats of skating greatness. Best wishes to ya, Gumbie. Tear it up and make Shmack proud. Live action hosted on NBC!!
