.




Eric Desaro WINS the first ever Eastern Boarder and Etnies 4Down Video Contest. Eric laid down 4 tricks that alone would be in a video part. Never mind in a line. Second Place was Austie B with some inventive lines in what looks to be his private parking lot, filled with some good stuff. Austie submitted 5 lines, all of them had some good tricks. And Adrienne Jackson was the first to send in a video . Loaded with good tricks. and the Best Closer EVER. Our top 3 winners will be outfitted in some Etnies kicks and EB Tshirts. We realize its a hard thing to film Four Tricks in a row, so stay tuned for the next video contest..... "3 Stair Stare" or "High Beam" or "Sick Slappy Bro".
Thanks to all that entered. Thanks to Etnies.

Thunder + Johnny Romano + Etnies = Skateboarding


From the Etnies site:
"This shoe, what it stands for, and how it came about is a perfect example of the effect Johnny Romano had, and will forever have, on skateboarding.

Johnny was a 10-year-old skater form Galveston, Texas whose love of skateboarding and courageous perseverance through his battle with Leukemia captured the hearts of the entire skateboarding community—worldwide. He never wanted to be known as “Johnny, the skater with Leukemia.” He was simply "Johnny, the skateboarder" and we all followed his journey with our hearts on our collective sleeves.

A few months after Johnny lost his battle with Leukemia, Sean Malto and Mikey Taylor approached me with an idea to do something with Thunder and etnies to pay tribute to Johnny, as well as raise money and awareness for the Johnny Kicks Cancer organization that the Romano family founded.

Johnny may have lost his battle, but he won the war. His memory and his impact on all of us in skateboarding will live forever. Thank you to everyone who was there for the journey and thank you to everyone who keeps it going.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the etnies / Thunder RVL will go to the JOHNNYKICKSCANCER Foundation. For additional information on the JOHNNYKICKSCANCER Foundation, the Johnny Romano Leukemia Research Organization, visit j-grom.blogspot.com or dlxsf.com.
