Kien Lieu joins Coat of Arms
I am proud to announce that a really good friend of mine and pro skater, Kien Lieu aka The Donger is joining Coat of Arms as a major contributor to the company. I remember watching Hocus Pocus at least a few thousand times as a kid, so its really fuckin AMAZING for me to be partnering up with such a legend in the skateboard world and a childhood idol of mine. Check out his personal blog that he just started on the COA site and leave a comment. And be on the look out for some cool projects we’re going to be bringing to you!
Imperial Beach Skate Park Demo
Jon Glass sent me these photos he took of a demo Willy Santos and I did at Imperial Beach Skate Park a few months back. It was really cool to kick it with all the kids that came out. Click on the sequence shot to zoom and check out locals, Kawshan Jackson and Chris Sarabia ripping the wedge ramp.
Thanks for the photos Jon! and thanks to everybody at IB Skate Park!!! Hope to see you guys again…
