R.I.P Jenny Jen

Yesterday morning the Essentials Fam lost a sister.

Jennifer Brainerd, a girl who brightened up my day every time I saw her. A girl who would stand up for her friends even if it meant getting punched in the lip, in a Jack-n-the-Box parking lot by a girl twice her size. She was down to do anything at anytime. I once had a crazy night surf session with Jen that started around 4am and lasted until the sun came up. Jen was truly like a sister to me and she will be forever missed.
RIP Jennifer Brainerd

Eben, my old friend!

I know not many of us ride the old set-o'-twoplanks, but if you don't want to ride a mountain sideways, tele skiing is the next best thang. This video is of an old friend of the Essentials Crew. Super sick ripper Eben Mond. Keep killing it Eben!

The Hand of Furey

This photo was sent to us by one Captain Space Needle. I have a vote in for this being one of the best sticker placements to date. Furey definitely has the eye of the tiger going in this shot.

Save Gas, Ride A Bike.

Someone just emailed me this picture of some dude riding down the middle of the street on his bike with a six shooter tied to his handle bars. Wonder where he was headed...

Love Series

I am not a fan of Burton in the least, but I KNOW you will get a kick out of these decks. I just can't wait for the Playgirl series to come out, because I think Burton is being sexist with these Playboy only decks.
