NIKE SB VIDEO PREMIER " NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH"

Went up to the Kodak theater in Hollywood last night for the Nike SB Video premier. After getting stuck in traffic forever that was only the beginning of the madness. The place was packed, it's crazy to think how far along skateboarding has come. I remember when video premiers used to be in the local skate shop. Its official, shit is major now.
The entrance was laced with all the past Nike SB's behind glass.

I still couldn't believe this was a Skateboard premier. The theater was jam packed and looked more like a major concert was taking place.

Saw some familiar faces from the Bay Marcel, Eddie, and Ando (FTC)Hunter and Kevin (Nike SB) opened up the showThe skating was really good, but wasn't to sure about the takes in between. I'll give them credit for trying to do something different, and different it truly was.
Popcorn After the movie the after party continued upstairs at a huge club called the Highlands. Just like the premier the party was packed. Nike really does know how to throw a party.



The young homey Jack Curtin (DGK, RBK, LRG...) was there. This kid lives the life. Every time I talk to him hes off to skate Europe, or Asia or some other crazy place. Getting paid to do what he loves. Not to say throwing yourself down twenty stairs or some crazy rail isn't hard work. His LRG / FTC stadium jacket was pretty rad too.
