Although currently sidelined with an injury, Lem comes through with a great but short part for his shop sponsor, Germany's Arrow and Beast.

The rad cats at Roger have come up with another bad-ass batch of board graphics. Take a peek and chuckle. Also, big congratulations to Roger graphics man and One Way or Another alumni, Michael Sieben and his wife on the birth of their son.

Some photos of the Westgate shoes that Emerica sent over for the Skate Tested review that was recently posted. They were kind enough to send a pair for me as well.

Crailtap's year in review, a great edit of their year's travels and randomness.

The ever interesting Bobby Puleo is interviewed by Ricky Oyola on Bobby's site Are You a Victim.

Tony Manfre has been spending some time in LA over the past weeks and Atlas photographer/filmer Patrick Beaudouin filmed this day-with edit.

Stereo ended their weekly Agency Thursdays web clip series to focus on their next video. They put up a great re-cap edit of some highlights from the past year. 2011 is going to be a good year for the Stereo folks.

Tommy Guererro and Vans Syndicate have teamed up to release two new shoes. Deluxe has a hill bombing contest to win a pair, details here. You can also get other Tommy G. good HERE.

New socks can make old shoes feel new, put the spring back in an old deck and make any salty dog smile and move his feet. They are one of the small things that make the world nice. Over the years many shoe, deck, wheel companies and even a couple magazines have put their name on many quality and less than quality feet coverings. For years, I-Path had some of the best. Fourstar, Emerica, Lakai as well put their names on some quality tubage. For the most part, socks aren't money makers for companies. More than one person in the position to know has told me that the money side of things don't add up to much profit. Not to mention that just about every rider, employee and janitor somehow ends up with a few pair.  They are a truly loved item.

Emerica presents the new Westgate shoe and on this Saturday, a new part. Stay tuned to COLOR for a special Skate Tested that features this shoe.

The Westgate: The Introduction of a New Emerica Classic.

Emerica is proud to introduce Brandon Westgate's first-ever pro model shoe, The Westgate.

Brandon's new Emerica shoe is a durable clean midtop that compliments his high speed powerful skating. The Westgate is definitely a shoe you want on your feet as you shred through the streets and will be available in 4 different color-ways at finer skateshops around the globe on January 15, 2011.

In support of Brandon's first pro shoe, Emerica will also be releasing a brand new Brandon Westgate video part on Emerica.com this Saturday January 15th, at 12pm (noon) PST.
