We Shot Sally!

by: Alex | Thursday, July 31, 2008

We shot Sally... and she's lookin' good! Sally Fitzgibbons was in town for the US Open but we caught up with her last week for her first etnies photo shoot.

If there's one thing to be said about Sally Fitzgibbbons, it's that she's a happy kid. She's genuinely happy and really fun. Everything about her is so undeniably fresh and clean, from her smile to her goofy jokes. She'll wear her etnies flip flops on her hands behind her back and ask if, when only given a split second to see them on the count of three, if her fingers look like toes. She'll smile so naturally for the camera, all the while worrying about unintentionally throwing gang signs when not intentionally doing anything with her hands. And the way Sally can pal around with her dad all day long... it's enough to warm even my cold, little heart.

Scroll on to check out our behind the scenes fun... plus a tiny sneak peek at still unreleased Spring '09 etnies gear! And don't miss out on our Sally Fitzgibbons Giveaway... ending after today!

Sally in hair & makeup... zhuzhing, as she calls it.

Location #1: Brown's Park lookout in Laguna Beach

Trying not to throw gang signs

View from the lookout: spongers in full effect

Exchanging flowers with TM Laura Lynn

Sally and some sea shells/starfish

Mad props

Location #2: Thousand Steps Beach

"How's this; is this a good shot?"

"Ready? 1... 2... "

"...3! Did they look like feet?"

"The beach is... (flex) that way."

Typical Sally

Hence the name... "Thousand Steps"

Hey, Sally! Thanks for making my job just a day at the beach. And yes, they DO look a little like feet.

Sheckler Charity Golf Tournament!

by: Brink | Tuesday, July 29, 2008

Together with Wasserman Media Group, pro skateboarder Ryan Sheckler will host the debut of the Ryan Sheckler X Games Celebrity Skins Classic to be held Tuesday, July 29, at the Trump National Golf Course in Palos Verdes, California as part of the mission of Sheckler's non-profit organization, The Sheckler Foundation. In addition to Sheckler's foundation, four other charities will be benefiting from the proceeds of the tournament. ESPN has been involved with and supported all four charities over the years. As part of this event, ESPN will be donating its skins to the Athlete Recovery Fund.

"I've always had a desire to help the kids who support me in my career and may not have had the same opportunities that I did," said the X Games multi-gold medalist, Ryan Sheckler. "I have reached a point where I have the ability to give back, and I'm honored to have such a great response for this tournament from my professional colleagues and friends."

Celebrities and their foursomes will tee off for an18-hole tournament and players will be pitted against one another in match play for the opportunity to win a $10,000 skin for the charity of their choice on each hole. Players will also take part in a putting contest for additional prizes with an awards ceremony and dinner to follow in the evening.

"We have been fortunate to have Ryan Sheckler compete in the X Games since 2003, and we're excited to partner with him and the Wasserman Media Group to benefit a number of charities devoted specifically to action sports," said Chris Stiepock, general manager and vice president, X Games franchise. "We look forward to growing this tournament into an annual X Games tradition for years to come."

Celebrities and Athletes
Anthony Anderson, Audrina Patridge, Kendra Wilkinson, Kevin Federline, Brody Jenner, Verne Troyer, Mia Hamm, Vicki Hurst, Bode Miller, Baron Davis, Carey Hart, Kevin Robinson, Cris Judd, Sal Masekela, Mason Aguirre, Jamie Bestwick, Ricky Carmichael, Chad Kagy, Eric Koston, Jeremy McGrath, Kevin Robinson, JJ Thomas, Travis Pastrana, and Dave Mirra will all take to the course with Ryan to raise money for a number of charitable organizations including Ryan's own.

The Charities
Charities benefiting from this tournament include Wings for Life, which funds scientific research into spinal cord injuries; Road 2 Recovery, which provides financial assistance to seriously injured motocross and supercross athletes and their families; The Athlete Recovery Fund, an organization which provides financial support for injured BMX, Moto and Skateboard athletes; and Boarding for Breast Cancer, a non-profit, youth-focused organization that works to create awareness about the disease.

About The Sheckler Foundation
The Sheckler Foundation was founded as an avenue for Ryan Sheckler, his family, friends and business associates to give back to the community and industry that they are so grateful to. The community is mostly comprised of children and their parents, who as his fans buy his products, attend his events, and watch his show. The industry is comprised of numerous action sports athletes and companies who have helped Ryan achieve monumental success. It was his ultimate desire to form a foundation that could contribute to many causes that directly benefit and enrich the lives of children. It is also his desire to support and fund programs that help action sports athletes who are injured in their line of work.

etnies Sweeps S3 Supergirl Skate Jam!

by: Alex | Monday, July 28, 2008

This One's For My Vegans...

by: Alex | Tuesday, July 22, 2008

Where my vegans at?! This one's for you.

So you wanna know which of our shoes are vegan? Lots of you have asked, and while I do enjoy spending my time sending the same email over and over... and over... it's YOUR time that I don't wanna waste. As such, we've added a new little vegan symbol to the site. Now you can browse all our footwear and rest assured that anytime you see that symbol underthe product description, it's totally animal-free and friendly.

Of course, it'll be smaller than that... more like this.

Here's a big fat list of our vegan shoes for Fall, but for future seasons and while perusing our fine wares, don't forget that the materials, and thus vegan-ness, vary between colorways of the same shoe so be sure to click each color. Thanks for caring about the beef!

Maloof Money Cup Airing Tonight!

by: Brink | Sunday, July 20, 2008

Couldn't be at the Maloof Money Cup Last week? Webcast wasn't good enough for you? Wanna see it again? Well here's the trailer and all the info you need!

And if that's not enough, have a peek at this clip featuring a few Malto and Sheckler:

Maloofing With The Ladies

by: Alex | Friday, July 18, 2008

So Maloof Money Cup finals were on Sunday and you all know how that turned out. Meanwhile, Rachel's in from Colorado, Lorena from Jersey and Evelien from Belgium(!)... so we jumped at the chance to spend a little quality time with the outta towners. We spend the afternoon with the girls, both on and off the course, and I can assure you that as much as I enjoyed watching them skate... in triple digit heat with no breeze and no shade, it was even more fun to chill with them in the etnies Festival Village.

Started off on the course for the girls' practice round... here's Rachel skating like she didn't just roll her ankle.

Evelien didn't make it to the finals but couldn't resist the call of the course

Rachel totally held it down and was the only girl to successfully take on the 16 stair

And after the contest, she was stoked to sign a couple decks for her fans.

A quick shot of the girls with filmer/friend Lisa!

Evelien and her fellow Belgian

Headed into the etnies Festival Village...

and there were so many booths and so much going on... tons of stuff to win.

Lots of swag and smiles

More Reinhard die hards wanting autographs!

But even with all the chaos around us, we spotted the best tents pretty quickly... etnies with the NEW MIKEY TAYLOR of course.

Evelien trying out some new moves... Pierre Andre would approve

These girls are REALLY good

Next we hit the pop up tattoo shop and solidified our etnies love.

Fo' life! So solid.

Time for food before we catch the men's finals

Evelien's first ever bite of buffalo wings...

Rough one... guess they don't make wings like that back home

Trying to cool her mouth with pizza and soda

By the time Evelien's mouth wasn't on fire, it was time to stake out a spot to watch the boys go at it.

Thanks for hanging out, girls! Had a great time with you and I've got the tattoo to prove it.

That's all for Maloofing with the Ladies. Miss out on any of the Maloof Money Cup? Lucky for you, CBS is airing the footage THIS SUNDAY AT NOON pst. It's kind of a big deal so set your DVRs!

Rachel Finished 2nd!

by: Alex | Monday, July 14, 2008

Our girl Rachel Reinhard took 2nd at Maloof Money Cup this weekend! It was most likely her quiet consistency throughout the entire contest that wowed the judges... or maybe it was her skills on the 16 stair in the final round! In any case, she put on a great show for her fans and no one could tell she'd just rolled her ankle in pre-finals practice! Yep, she's just THAT rad.

Congratulations Rachel!

Sheckler 4th @ Maloof Money Cup!

by: Brink | Monday, July 14, 2008

Congratulations to Ryan Sheckler for his 4th place finish at the Maloof Money Cup this weekend! Don't go thinking 4th is a load of crap either... Sheck was only 4th to some of the best... that's Cole, P-Rod, and Nyjah, who also all crushed it. But Sheck, despite a busted elbow and droves of ravenous young ladies and MTV camera crews swarming him, ripped hard. Just check the photos. Even the haters were givin' props. The kid threw down! Stay tuned for more photos and video soon!

PS. Rune Glifberg didn't place but skated hard as usual... and he's still #1 in the World Cup rankings, just so ya know! So here's a bonus Rune photo for good measure. Yeah Rune!

etnies In Pamplona, Part 2

by: Alex | Wednesday, July 9, 2008

Here's another shot of our participation in this year's Running Of The Bulls. I think it really says something that from either angle, and even in all the bull thumping, stampeding chaos, this dude's etnies stand out like a white shining beacon of hope. I'm pretty sure that's what it's all about, right?

Surf Art Show

by: Alex | Wednesday, July 9, 2008

I did a surfboard/art collaboration with artist/photographer Jon Steele... They are on display Friday night in Solana Beach...

My brother Dan shaped the surfboards (Infinity) and Jon added his painting and mixed media photography style art to the boards to make them one of a kind shred sticks! They came out pretty effin sweet if ya ask me... Also Wade Koniakowski is showing his ocean inspired art as well... Come chill, have some food, and shaka out!

Hope to see you there....

Get rad-
Dave

Maloof Cup this Weekend! Find Me & Be VIP!

by: Brink | Sunday, July 6, 2008

Sean Malto, Ronnie Creager, Ryan Sheckler, Rune Glifberg and some of our ladies will be competing in this weekend's Maloof Money Cup. Seriously, this contest is gonna be bonkers. Get there if you can. And if you can't, watch it live on Skateboard.com.

Step up!

So check this out... not only do we own the entire etnies Festival Village during the Maloof Cup, but we have a little contest to hook you up! However, we don't have much time to do it, so here's the deal:

If you are at Maloof Cup this weekend, you have the chance to win an etnies backpack full of etnies gear AND two Friends & Family VIP passes for exclusive access to some of the spots most people won't be able to get to... including lots of free food from Carls Jr. and perhappppppps the opportunity to meet the pros!

Hubbas!

What do you have to do?

Easy. Find me. My name is Rob Brink. I'll be at the contest all weekend shooting photos and covering the event.

The first person to rocking at least one piece of etnies gear to find me at the Maloof Cup gets the prizes! Simple concept. Perhaps challenging, but not impossible. Since I'll be working, I might make you run and get me a cup of tea or something like that, but it's sooooo worth it! Consider it on-the-job experience. You can put it on your resume.

Need some clues? I might be holding a big camera or texting people on my Blackberry. Start clickin, readin' & researchin'! Good luck and I'll see you there!

Sally, That Girl!

by: Alex | Thursday, July 3, 2008

It's still early, but Sally's already tearing it up at South Africa's Mr. Price Pro. Keep up with Sally, Leilani and Serena as they battle it out this week among surfing's best and brightest.

Get it girls!

Oh... and Sally's our Featured Rider for July! Check out our Sally Fitzgibbons Giveaway, enter all month long.
