After a short lapse we’ve reconnected with Jetty flow skater Billy Glatz and my oh my has he grown up! Billy recently landed an ad in the latest Focus Skate Mag as he continues his quest to be the next Fresh Find. Billy comes from a great and very supportive family and we’re proud to be back in touch and helping to support his skateboarding! Check out a few more photos here or click on the photo below.

If you’ve ever seen a 1031 Skateboards film, then you know those guys are just out of control, funny and excellent skaters. 1031 picked up Fritz this past year and he’ll have a part in their next video, “Get Bent” which drops this October! Check out the first trailer….

Focus has a brand spankin’ new website – check it out here!

Its official…It’s Summer! It’s also Go Skateboarding Day, so go dig up that plank of wood and start pushing!

No need for words…this is how it happens…after a day of skating these dudes just throw their bodies around. Gotta love it.

Last week team riders John Desimas and Fritz Mead rolled through town with a crew from Boston on their way to D.C. for a weekend of shredding! They kicked off things right with a ton of skating all over town…Good times…

Fritz continues his tear with a stand-out interview in the new Focus Skateboard Magazine. Pick up a copy to see the whole interview and more insane photos! Keep your eyes out for more with Fritz…he and the gang are headed to Philly this week. YEAH!

Despite the type of grab here, new Jetty flow rider Chris Scarpinato’s skating is never stale! Chris has been skating a ton and reppin’ hard for a while now so we can wipe the “unofficial” tag off of his team rider status!

Our buds over at HDLM Skateboard Company are hitting the road for a week at the end of the month! Jetty team rider Ryan Boblits will be on the 5-day tour which will be visiting some spots in MA, NY & CT. Gary Smith, the X-Jetty team rider, but much-beloved, life long friend of ours will be on board too! Check these guys out if you’re nearby in the northeast (May 19-23)!

Birdhouse just dropped a pretty nice little tour video from their trip out east this past Fall. Its cool to see Tony doing the road thing and hanging with the young guns! Fritz met up with the gang up north and has a little clip in this vid at 9:24! There is also some good Philly footage at 4:07 – Check it…
