Roadsigns (Lance Mountain, C.R. Stecyk III, and Nike SB)

Before going to the show at The Smell, Jeff and I attended Nike SB's release party for the Lance Mountain Vandal shoes with a C.R. Stecyk design and accompanying film project. It was at the Montalban theater on Vine, right between Sunset and Hollywood.


We got there a little after the doors opened, and the first thing we saw was the men of the hour autographing prints that were given to attendees. Nice.


That's Kevin, my friend/idea man at Nike SB who got me in. When he sends an invite, you should never say no.


Nike SB team skaters Danny Supa and Daniel Castillo, who I've interviewed for the mag. Good to see them again.


Two non-Nike skaters: Element/Vans rider Ray Barbee, who says the Mattson 2 album will come out on Galaxia sometime next year, and Paul Kwon, who designs shoes for Element.


Bret Banta of Ipath, Rasa Libre, Modern Amusement, Hero Design, and Banta fame.


Jeff and I didn't win shoes at the raffle, but I was stoked to introduce him to so many friends, see the short film on the big screen, eat movie munchies on Phil Knight's tab, check out Lance Jr.'s band, and score a free print (versions are seen on the wall).
