The Cariboo Skate team has been killing it around the Vancouver area for some time now, but this trip to Phoenix was their first chance to show the rest of the world what a beer-sponsored skate team from Canada can really do. Check out Mike Shulze, Sheldon Meleshinski, Corey Klim, Nick Moore, Tyler Holm, Arte Lew, Dakota Allison and guest homies Matt Patafie, Jordan Repin and Dustin Locke as they tear it up in Arizona.

Look for the full article Served Warm, including all the off-board shenanigans and one very grumpy Phoenix landlord, in the new issue of Color 10.2 (OUT NOW!)

“If I knew you were a beer team, I would have never rented to you!”

Recently I had the pleasure of shooting Nardwuar for Color 10.2 which is hitting shelves now. Certainly one of the most interesting and awesome people i've had the pleasure of photographing. Be sure to check his website for all his latest endeavours and pick up a copy of 10.2 to read the Nexts and Bests of Nardwuar The Human Serviette.

The DC team was in Vancouver for the screening of Danny Way's Waiting for Lightning. While in town, D. Way gave us a solid interview just before the screening. Watch it here and read our full review in the new issue (10.2 Now Shipping) including exclusive commentary from director Jacob Rosenberg.

To celebrate Antisocial's 10 year anniversary, Michelle gathered up the gang for a good times trip down to Portland for a long weekend. Beers and bowl were plenty as we zig-zagged across the cities magnitude of indoor parks. Check out Keegan Sauder, Sheldon Meleshinski, Colin Nogue, Wade Fyfe, Kassy Bailey and Brett Gifford in this short fun-times video. Thanks for everything over the years Michelle! Don't know where we'd be without you. Stay tuned to the Antisocial website for info on their upcoming 10 year anniversary party later this month.

Quite possibly one of the best parts ever.
