Garrett Hill Launches iPhone’s First Productivity App in Skateboarding
Written by AdminFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, CA- May 31, 2012-
Pro skateboarder Garrett Hill has teamed with Maloof Money Cup and tech wizard Jason Ossenmacher and his team to develop BlackBook. This yearlong collaboration produces the first and only app that allows skateboarders to maintain their list of spots and tricks efficiently. Acting as its own private little black book, users can log their spots as a pin on a map along with all of the spot’s corresponding photos, videos, and a virtual to-do list of tricks. The application will launch alongside its own website, which will >continuously host contests and giveaways for users who actively share their BlackBook skate photos and skate clips from the app.
Hills says, “The app is simple to use and I don’t know a single person in skateboarding who doesn’t have a use for this app: everyone from street skaters to filmers and photographers-professional and otherwise. We’ve all been demanding something like this for a long time, but no one was able to put their finger on how to go about it, until now. It’s not some novelty, people are really going to get a lot of use out of this app. Even in it’s developing stages, it’s really been crucial in helping me film for Zero’s Coldwar.”
As an introductory promotion, the app will be available for only $0.99 USD in the month of June.
(regular price will be $1.99 USD).

Desillusion x Nixon present "THIS IS ANDREW" from NIXON Europe on Vimeo.
Desillusion magazine and Nixon proudly present their latest video instalment “This is Andrew”, a video portrait paying tribute to US street skateboarder Andrew Reynolds.
Growing up in a small town in Florida, Andrew started skateboarding at a very young age. Due to his exceptional talent – Reynolds won the first contest he ever entered – he drew the attention of the skate industry and landed on some of the top sponsored teams as a teenager. Following Tony Hawk and others to the Californian epicentre of skateboarding at the age of 18, he met fellow skateboarders like Jim Greco, Ali Boulala and Knox Godoy, later on known as the “Pissed Drunx”, ruling the streets of LA.
Years of money, fame, and fast living follow, until Reynolds aka “The Boss” became the first one to reach a turning point in his life. Going down the hard road of rehab and recuperation, he managed to rise back on track maintaining his skill, style and laid back approach. With his part in Emerica’s “Stay Gold” Andrew again impresses the skateboarding community, fans and friends, showing the world how far stern determination and true passion can lead you.
“This is Andrew” is a thoughtful portrait of one of the most intriguing personalities skateboarding has seen. In some unprecedented interview footage Reynolds shares what inspires him and made him change his lifestyle, his love for skateboarding and deep loyalty to his friends.
After the great success of “This is Trouble”, a short movie portraying snowboarder and musician Trevor “Trouble” Andrew that was launched this past February ( vimeo.com/nixoneurope/troubleandrew ), “This is Andrew” is the second tribute video Nixon x Desillusion magazine dedicate to one of their most influential inspirations in the board sports scene. The video comes along with the latest issue of Desillusion magazine featuring Andrew Reynolds as an exclusive guest editor, available from Monday, 16th of April, 2012.

New Jersey native Ishod Wair talks about his ascension to the pro ranks
By Chris NieratkoESPN.com
New Jersey has produced the highest number of professional and amateur skateboarders of any state outside of California. They say there's something in the water but there's no denying Jersey's contributions to skateboarding's long and storied history.
The Garden State's most recent offering is Ishod Wair, the red-hot Real Skateboards Pro from Hamilton, N.J., who exploded onto the scene and less than two years later crushed every amateur contest he entered, won a major pro contest as an amateur and was suddenly thrust into the pro ranks.
We caught up with Jersey's Finest to see how life has changed since getting bumped up.
