Habitat and Alien Workshop are coming to a skatepark near you…get hyped!

Jason Dill from AWS stars in this video from Animal Collective.  If you have the Mind Field video memorized, like I do, you will recognize the song from Dill’s part.

That’s right folks, Gilbert Crockett is the latest addition to the Alien Workshop team.  Wordemup!

I’ll be heading north tomorrow for the final round of the Freestyle of Duluth skate series.  This one will land us at the Encounter Skatepark in Duluth.  The comp runs from 2-5pm so stop by and show us what you got!

For those of you not already in the know, Alien Workshop has recently revealed its newest Pro team member, Grant Taylor.  If you have seen Mind Field or Debacle, you know why.  Find his new decks at your favorite local skate shop!

If I have been lagging on creating Midwest Represent posts, here is why.  For the last week and a half, I have been on the road showing our new Spring/Summer 2010 Analog, Gravis, Alien Workshop and Habitat product lines (MPLS to Cream City, to Krush, to Kansas City and now Nebraska.)  Needless to say, we are bringing the heat.  Get hyped!

This new Dino Jr deck comes with a copy of their new album, Farm.  Buy two, one to skate and one for show and tell.  Available at your favorite local Alien Workshop dealer.

If you weren’t already aware of this, DJ is touring this fall.  Click here to learn about their middle western stops including Minneapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, STL, KC, etc…

Come to think of it, I’m going to plan my clinic loops around their tour this year.

Freestyle of Duluth is hosting a series of skate contests this summer with some serious prizes (and fun) at stake.  Y’all better start polishing those lines if you want to take home that mega fatty prize package at the end of the series!  Stop by the shop for more details.

Props to Josh Kalis of Alien Workshop for his latest cover of Skateboarder.  If you haven’t already done so, pick it up and feast your eyes on this incredible photo issue.  Lots of love for our friends from Alien, Habitat, Gravis and Analog…

The Youth Shelter Supply is hosting a game of skate for the kiddo’s over at Cold Spring Skatepark on National Go Skateboarding Day 3pm.  Go show your support for YSS and skateboarding for a chance to win prizes from some fine companies including Analog Clothing, Alien Workshop and Habitat Skateboards.  Hit up YSS for more details…
