Long time friend and fellow shredder Robb Estberg is moving out of the country tomorrow evening. Be sure to hit him up show your love and let him know he will be missed. Robb was one of the original shredders of Velocity and will always remain a part of this team no matter how far away he is from us.
I know I can speak for myself and everyone on the team that were gonna miss that mark, and hopefully some of us will go visit him and not bluff. Hope the sesh is epic in Europe and be sure to keep us up-to-date on that footage Robb.
Keeping this shit short cause straight up I will miss that kid and just want it short and sweet, no homo homie, don’t forget about us either.
Sorry I can’t be there to see you off dawg, glad I got to skate Philly and NYC one last time with you before you left.
Much Love,
GTF (lol)

That’s right people we are having a big video premier of the latest film from Black Box Distribution: “Fallen: Ride the Sky.” Velocity as well as a Skatology, 3 Rideshop, Rascals, Wavedancer and Revival are hosting the event at the Senator Theater on August 31st at 6:00 PM. Entry into the event is only $6 dollars, which is less than what you would pay to see a feature film and lets face it you care more about skateboarding than some romantic comedy with your girlfriend or something.
For those of you that haven’t seen the trailer to the film feel free to creep onto the Fallen website and peep the epicness to get you excited for the premier, but I doubt any of you haven’t seen the trailer…
Now for those of you rejoining us because I am sure you went and re-watched the trailer anyway, be sure when you go to the event to let us know your here from Velocity, the proceeds are going to be split amongst the shops and while we know who most of you are we would like to at least try and get a head count. Also know that the more of you that come to the premier the more copies of the video we will get in the shop so best bring your peeps so you can get a copy for yourself when it’s released onto DVD.
Bare Essentials, the Riders: Jamie Thomas, Chris Cole, Billy Marks, Josh Harmony, Tommy Sandoval, Tony Cervantes, James Hardy, Matt Bennett, Brian Hansen, and Gilbert Crockett.
Should be interesting to find out who really gets last part, since word is that Tommy is gunning for it, I don’t think he has the heart to steal it from Cole, but he does do mad hammers, anyone interested in taking bets I am down haha.
See you all on the 31st best come out and rep for Velo.
