Alphanumeric AM, Andrew Langi  took charge of the sixteen stair rail at Thrasher Magazines's "Bust or Bail" Contest on Saturday.  A feeble grind, crooks, nosegrind, and front blunt to fakie landed him in third place!  Go to the Thrasher site and watch the video footage.

The Alphanumeric office was blessed with a visit from Skate Book's own, Mike Ballard and Salman Agah.  They hand delivered the new book to us, and believe me when I say, you need to get out there and grab one for yourself.  The Lance Mountain issue is yet another amazing edit of the Skate Book!





Skate Book Publishers Mike Ballard & Salman Agah.  Another happy UNIV customer.  Thanks Mike!



Salman also brought his American Bulldog "Scout" along for the visit.  Our new mascot "Mona" was hyped to have another Bulldog around.

Carrying over the overall theme of the special Back to School pop-up shop at Off the hook, Alphanumeric designed and executed a class room setting for its trade show booth at the Know Show in Montreal this past weekend.  Complete with lockers, old-school style desks, and free juice boxes for customers, the booth was bangin' all weekend!  The booth will be traveling to Vancouver for Know Show West this coming weekend.  Don't be late for class, and make sure you check out Spring 09!







Chris and Matt from Obsession Skateshop were one of many retailers hyped on the new A# spring 09 line.

What's wrong with this picture?  Take a good look at the gauges and you'll notice a couple things.  First is the giant gas light telling us to refuel.  To the left of that sweet looking pump, is our tachometer reading zero.  Look above the fuel light, and you'll see that battery and exclamation mark lighting up.  This means our car has just died.  Yet, our car is still doing 40mph on the speedometer...we are simply in neutral, coasting for miles. It wouldn't last.





We sat around for about five minutes thinking of how screwed we were until Mike attempted to start the car again.  Luckily, by some kind of miracle, it started up again.  We quickly jumped back in the car and took off. Any chance Mike got, he threw into neutral and coasted.



Unfortunately for us, we got to Buttonwillow too late to run the Evo on the track.  It would have been fun to spank some exotics, but we'll have to save it for next time.



One last shot of the car out in front of the Kodak Theater.  We had to skip the party at the Roosevelt Hotel so expect to see more pics tomorrow of day two.  San Diego here we come.

Anthony Williams earned himself a Fillmore Wheels ad in the new issue of Thrasher Magazine with a proper nollie heel crooks down a famous Atlanta rail.  Check the sequence below!
