Ryan Sheckler has been riding for Etnies for 15 years which means he started riding for them when he was in the single digits. To every single one of you, including you old, bitter pros, who talked a lot of smack just a few years ago, not one single thing you said or did or tried to persuade people of made a single difference. In 50 years from now, Ryan Sheckler will be remembered for being one of the toughest, one of the gnarliest, one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. Congratulations Etnies. Congratulations, Ryan. Here's to another 15. - sb

The last few weeks have been challenging for WATCH THIS because I haven't had much time to WATCH THEM. The offices at the Berrics have been on hold for over 6 weeks due to a permit problem with the crooks we call the city of LA, so we've been working out of some temporary lofts about a half a mile away that I also happen to live in. Yeah, that's my life right now. It's been pretty good thus far until the landlord emailed me saying he's upping the rent on the lofts by 40%. It's his way of legally forcing us out because I'm guessing, by the way they look at us, that they can't bare to have black people coming in and out of their precious loft complex. Yes, the Berrics is an equal opportunity employer. We have black people, white people, spanish people, vietnamese people and a Korean. We probably got some other types in here too so I'm sorry if I left them out. Anyhow, I'm the last one to call racism out on anything or anyone because I just feel that in this day and age in Los Angeles that it doesn't really exist anymore. I think I'm wrong. Why am I telling you this? Because it's taken up a lot of my time trying to figure out where we are going to move to while the offices at the actual Berrics get finished. There's about a 6 week gap between now and then and I haven't been able to watch any of the links you all have sent me, until last night. There were too many, so some are going up today and some next week and some the following week. Keep them coming, and I promise you that if your'e Black, Brown, Puerto Rican, Haitian, Brazilian, Mexican, Chinese or Eskimo I won't ever raise the rent on you by 40% or give you cold stares in the parking lot or tell you to stop talking so loud on your cell phone or leave nasty notes about your parking under your windshield wiper. I promise you. Now click in to see what we got this week for WATCH THIS! - sb
