Roger Skateboards - News

All good things must come to an end, including the Roger Video. Secondhand Stoke Part 3 is now up on thrashermagazine.com. Thanks for caring and/or sharing. 

Sincerely, 

I'm not exactly sure why it took 5 years of requests to make a print out of this graphic. Nevertheless, Smile Forever print now available at msieben.com. 

As promised, part 2 of Secondhand Stoke is now up on thrashermagazine.com. In Thrasher's words, "Cesar Fernandez links together amazing, smooth lines while Tim and Eric have one of the most absurd, fun, creative parts ever. You're gonna want to go skating after this one. Trust us." 

Roger Skateboards: Secondhand Stoke Part 1 is now up on the Thrasher site. Max Taylor and Ryan Holloway making Texas (and Roger) proud. 

"“TWOMANJI” [1998] is a short, disappointing reissue of a New York City-based Hi-8 skateboarding drama that occurs in the space between wakefulness and sleep. “TWOMANJI” is two-parts Georgi, one-part Sunny Delight, with a thin film of Xanax on the glass’s rim." -Bill Pierce

Featuring Bill Pierce, Max Taylor and a guest appearance by Rene Perez

Hello Again, just wanted to let you guys know that our friend Roger just gave birth to a healthy new website. Everybody is healthy and doing fine. A little tired, but that's to be expected. 

Also wanted you to know that our first full-length video, Secondhand Stoke, will begin airing on August 11th at thrashermagazine.com. Hope you got your party pants on. 

And... also wanted to tell you that Max Taylor just got kicked off of the Roger Flow Team. Read the fine print. 

The new rogerskateboards.com site should be finished tomorrow. Not exactly sure what that means for the future of this tumblr blog. Maybe nothing? Maybe everything? Either way, thanks for checking out our words and pictures the past few years. If this thing ceases to exist (or be updated) after tomorrow we hope you'll make the short journey to our new home. 

Also, we hope all of you had a good Go Skateboarding Day today. But more importantly, we hope you have good skateboarding days the other 364 days of the year. G.S.D. is kind of like Valentine's Day. You don't really need an excuse to love something. 

Digging through some old folders trying to track down images for the new site and I ran across these decks. Remember when we were going to make these Internet Shack boards? But instead, our manufacturer got sued and we didn't make anything at all for about half a year and then the Internet Shack got cancelled? Oh man, good times. Good times. 

Hello. Here's a photo essay of the Skate It or Hang It show that just opened at the Museum of Design Atlanta. A must read for skate art nerds and graphics aficionados. 

We were trying to have the video trailer done this week, but it's not going to happen. Not because we're lazy, but just because it takes a long time to make something awesome. And we know you expect nothing but awesome x 2 from your friends at Roger. So next week we'll have the trailer for our video done along with a brand new rogerskateboards.com. I know, I know... you'll believe it when you see it. We appreciate your skepticism. We're half-full dudes ourselves. 

In the meantime, if you live in or near Atlanta, maybe I'll see you at MODA this weekend? I'll be the nervous dude trying to get Lance Mountain to sign my Suicidal Tendencies t-shirt. Skate Nerds Unite!

Brandon was going to post his buddy Mike Hickey's Mag Minute today but he couldn't figure out how to embed the video into our tumblr account. So he sent me the embed code and I couldn't get it to work either. So instead of hitting play on the graphic above these words, you're just going to have to click this link if you want to watch it. Good job Hickey!

In other news, what does this video have to do with new Roger Sticker Team recruits? Everything? Nothing? The rumor mill is churning... 

If the stars align we should have a trailer for our video done this week along with a brand new rogerskateboards.com. Who knows? Stranger things have happened. 

New sticker team rider? (Scroll down.)

Seen that new Daewon and Haslam video yet? It's like Whoa. 

Working on the first trailer for the Roger Video this week. The video will be done this Summer and it just might make you quit skateboarding. For a number of reasons. 

I found this photo of LaCoste while I was snooping around on his Facebook page. Not sure who took it or I'd give them credit. 

Sorry for the lack of updates, I'm at the beach and... well. That's it. I'm just at the beach. 

Couple days late on this, but here's my Vice column from earlier this week. If nothing else, check it out for the Bottle Cap Blues video. Trust me. You'll like it.
