Happy happy, joy joy

Happy Holidays everyone!

Did you know that nobody in the history of the world has ever bought a fruitcake for themselves?

Here’s some groaners to get you through the holidays:
Napoleon Dynamite does the 12 days of Christmas.

What would Christmas be without Mr. Hankey.

Mr. Timberlake has a present for you.

Welcome to your bigger better home

Last night we watched Jereme’s Neighbourhood, Welcome home, and Bigger and better things vids. Jereme was on it as usual, but I really enjoyed Eli Reed’s part. Welcome home had solid parts from our boy Magnus (nice switch front biggie holmes), the flying Decenzos and John hanlon. I’m going to go ahead and brag that Nate has best part in Bigger and Better, but gotta say that Alien has a charging part too.

Teased

Consider yourself teased. Click the link above to get rad. Stuff from the whole team and a stocked friends section… only because we have awesome friends.

Our favourite ninja, Hiroyuki “Hiro” Matsuo stepped up and got himself the cover of Transworld Japan and skater of the year! Congratulations bud!

Biebel was hanging out with Ty last week editing his part for the Lakai video, which is due out this Spring.

Antisocial has a cool new mini up and running with a crazy top sheet. Stop by for a sesh and say hi to Michelle.

When Corey’s not winning bags full of cash playing online poker, he’s working on something with Appleyard that involves art, renaissance and apparel. Intriguing, yes?

Ted’s back at the Santa Cruz mansion in Arizona, Morgan just returned from two weeks filming down south with Weiss, and Haslam’s in TAIPEI!! with Almost.

Don’t forget to enter the free wheels give-away contest and while your at it leave us a note. November’s winner is Cole Elmendorf from Vermont.

This week’s update brought to you by JAMES CHAN!

Sherm and Stenger

Getting close to the holidays… an interview with Sherm on Caught in the Crossfire. And one with Stenger on Skate New Spot. Biebel just called and we’re finally getting footage. Can you say done for Christmas…?

I won’t be here, but if you’re in Van next weekend head to the Anza to check out a new vid with some of our local homies:

new site son!

Happy Halloween and welcome to the new website! New layout, photos, wallpapers… tons of stuff…with more on the way. Make sure to sign up for the free wheels contest every month and get on the mailing list to receive all happenings Momentum. Also adding a submit section soon where you can send us your funny pics and videos for the world to see.

Hate to hammer the cliche, but yes, “the video is almost finished”. But c’mon, give us a little slack.. a wheel company putting out a video.. not very often right?

Ted, Brad Sheppard, Geoff Dermer and Caissie are all heading to Japan this week to hang out with our favourite distributors and hoist some Asahi’s. Kanpai!! Oh and speaking of Dermer san, check out his board company, Kitsch. -some nice vids on their site.

Corey’s chillin’ (literally) in Vancouver right now, but he’s planning to rent out the old apartment and head South like the birds. Someone please sponsor Corey with a cell phone… hello.. Boost??

Rick’s in Vancouver right now, taking a break from some heavy filming sessions for the eS video. Check out his new interview in the Skateboard Mag.

Scott Pommier has a photo show that opened last weekend at the Goon Pack. pommier show

Andrew’s got a collab print in Dustin Koop’s show this weekend at Antisocial. If you’re up, get done

Oh, it’s the latest issue of Color Magazine release too.

Biebel just got back from Spain and was heading over to the recently uncapped Hubba Hideout. Get some, Beebs! Dudes have been killing that spot 24-7 since it was liberated.

Jereme held one high for us goofy-footers and won Goofy vs. Regular again this year. In the same month, he also won the last stop of the Dew tour in Orlando and came second overall next to Shecks for the whole tour. His pro shoe for DVS is also releasing any day now. Unstoppable.

And finally, even though Daewon rides for that “other” wheel company, we congratulate him for a much deserved win of Thrasher’s SOTY.
