What BS, I get all amped to see this show and then I get there and its sold out??>?!!! Anyways cant be mad at the band...Im sure they rocked....Me and my buddie just had to walk back home, but as we left I was writing on someones tour bus, turns out it was the 5fdp bus. So this guy is all like "Hey, why are you writing on our bus?" "Come on, stop writing on the bus" Writing in dust is fun. If anyone saw that show please send in some pics!! Contact@downsouthskateboarding.com!

First off Goodnight and Goodbye to Brittany Murphy, I feel I usually dont connect with someone on a screen like the way she got my attention. Great Actor from a great city. Atlanta Will Miss You
What a way to end this year eh? With more lunacy and misdirection as ever , we step blindly into a year of war budgeting compromise and further we spiral into anti-socialites. Atlanta is a big city with a big temper, or more so than often crazy people who just stay mad. I.e. Soldier Girl
But lest we make fun of everyone were all a little weird here. I got some ideas for this new year, some you can be a part of and make it better.
1.
If you own a car other than an american pos, i.e. a v6 charger, an import pos i.e. a honda that doesnt go fast at all, a european not so pos, but better than your dads 85 beamer. In other words were getting a few folks together for rides, meets, and road events. Minimum to get in, can you guess what it is? Your car has either to modded beyond stock i.e., stage 2, or be turbo'd , supercharged, kitted, ported, crated, or just beastly. If your interested drop us a line on the messageboards above.
2.
Looking for a folks or two to ride for DS.com, send us your footy via youtube, myspace, sendspace, or whatever, just get it posted to the messageboard with your name and city and well pick by popular choice. Good chance here folks, here at DS we know people and people look for more people. So if you wanna play you gotta pay. Get those videos in no deadline but the sooner the better. Get yourself some free swag and a place to call yours, a webpage all your own, blog, and social media marketing. This is a chance to become noticed. Get to it.
3.
Stevie Williams celebrates his bday this month. Happy b-day stezzie! Also.
Stevie if your gonna roll through the tucker let us know! You hiding behind that tint dont help. Keep your peepers out folks, send in a photo with Stevie here in atlanta and get some free merch. Hell send us a pic with any pro or celeb here in ga and get free isht!!!

So I'll leave it at that for now, but I wanna leave ya with something incredible my gift to y'all for xmas, if you've seen it Im sorry, EXTREMELY SORRY,
I first saw this guy at the DGK signing at Ruin on Roswell rd. Did'nt think much of him other than just someone who's wants an autograph. Little did I realize
this guy did not merely like DGK, I think he may be obsessed. Lurking around his myspace and watching his youtube vids, I see this cat has the makes of a
pro.
Keep an eye on this young one, I have'nt seen real skill like this since perhaps the little alien. I'm sure some lucky team will give this guy a well
deserved home one day but until then, I don't think he cares.
-Life’s aight, still struggling with sponsors but it takes time, just moved into a new apartment with my girl, just finished a little promo vid with
Orisue clothing,
got 2 kittens, just livin, trying to come up haha!
When did you first see DGK? and where?
-First met them at the Ruin signing and gave Stevie my footy
What got you started skating?
-Bought a $20 WWF board from wal-mart when I was 12 and haven’t stopped since
What keeps you skating??
-That feeling of freedom when you’re just out skating and can do whatever you feel like doing, there’s no rules or regulations it’s just an escape from
shitty everyday life
We all think you're pretty damn good. do you?
-I pride myself on being able to skate anything and make everything look proper, and do some unique tricks people don’t usually see done, and keeping a
good attitude, there’s so many kids out there that are such cocky pricks I hate that
So you ride for BC?
-Yup, Pasta hooked me up about a year or so ago
Who else sposnors you?
-BC, DGK, Orisue
-Orisue clothing is based out of CA, they've been going strong for a few years now, you can read how I got hooked up and see my video for them right here
Orisue Clothing
Shouts out to Jeff for hookin me up
What made you want to build such an awesome set up in your basement??
-A lot of rain in GA and lack of homies to skate with, it started with just skating flat-ground, I learned how to do every trick on know on flat down
there, then I built one ramp, then two, then so on and so I just keep cleaning it out more and more and building more and more stuff over the years until I
decided just to take it all apart, buy some more wood, and design and build a full park. And boom you have the Tiny Berrics. I never planned on filming
anything down there but one night during when I was taking apart the old set up and building what’s known as The Tiny Berrics I was riding off this ramp to a
wall-ride and trying to back 5-0 the inside on the house foundation and I decided to film it (it’s in the Tiny Berrics video at 3:48). After I saw how dope
that looked I thought people might want to see some of this so I hit Steve Berra with the idea and came up with the name “The Tiny Berrics” So I started
making a video, I never knew it would wind up being a full blown 10 min video and be on the Berrics and shit haha, it even won a contest on Skateboard.com and got 50,000 views. Looking back it’s a pretty lame video but it was really fun at the time
Watch it here
How did you afford it?
-I used a lot of older wood from previous ramps I had built and then rented a truck from home depot, saved some paychecks and got like $500 worth of
wood and started re-building. Haha my parents hated it
How old are you??
-19
What are your favorite things to do? music? what music do you bump when you skate??
-Pretty much just hip-hop, but good shit, I’m into lyricists who can really spit, Eminem, Chamillionare, The Game, Cassidy, Jadakiss to name a few, I
got a million favorites. I’ve told everyone I’m never going to have a skate part that’s not a rap song haha we’ll see, it will probably be my downfall hahaha
You got the whole day to skate, hows it go?
-Preferably head to Athens wit a homie, film a few things, skate S.P.O.A.(skate park of athens) and go to Subway, the perfect day. There’s a million
things to skate down there and most of them aren’t busts, haven’t been blown out yet, and are all like within a 2 mile radius.
Your fav spot in atlanta?
-Shit I hate to be unoriginal but you never get kicked out of Black boxes and it’s got the smoothest ground to warm up on!
Your rival?
-Shit I hope I don’t have any, maybe I do? A lot of people seem to hate me but I don’t know why, I’m the nicest dude you’ll ever meet. I told myself a
few years ago if I ever go anywhere in skateboarding I want to talk to every kid that wants to talk to me and never turn down an autograph
If you had a chance to tell Stevie why you should be on DGK what would it be??
- Ha I’ve told him I’m the most dedicated and well rounded dude he’s gonna see I guess we’re still workin on it though, it takes time and I gotta pay
the dues. I’m building the DGK warehouse in ATL for him still too
(It’s in this video on Transworld)
Watch it here
What club would you take lenny and marcus to?
-Haha shit I got no clue I don’t get down like that, I don’t smoke or drink, never have, I just love to skateboard and I’m focused on going pro one day
Do you think jack is wierd in rl?
-Never skated wit Jack but he was cool as hell to me a few years back when I would message him on myspace and when I’ve met him
Fav contest you were in?? Future Contests you’d like to be in?
-Never skated a contest, I try not to really. Skateboarding is like the ultimate freedom, but when you’re in a contest and you have a time limit and
all that pressure it just doesn’t feel like skateboarding anymore you know. Pasta tells me I need to go to Tampa AM, maybe next year
Best moment as a skater?
-Maybe when I first hung out wit Stevie, got to ride around in his Benz and go out to eat and skate the DGK warehouse and shit, I was trippin out the
whole time haha, also when Berra hooked up the Tiny Berrics teaser video up on the Berrics.com that was crazy to see, Pasta calls me and is like dude you’re
on the Berrics! I’m just trippin out watchin it with my friend, it was a good feeling, shout out to Steve he’s been really good to me.
Give yourself a shoutout.
Shouts out to DGK, Orisue Clothing, my girl Brittany, my new kittens Snuggles and Kobi haha, The homie Chris Moody, Mike Ham for always the dopest
filming, Crabs, Pasta, Brandon, Stu at BC and anybody who shows love when they see me! Thanks for the interview DownSouth!

hopefully anything else we can brain storm
So whats happening now you ask? Is the store coming back? Is DS still running?
Well were starting a new venture. No longer focusing on product or sales, moving to digital.
Think of us as your one stop for updates on new merch hitting the market, upcoming local contests, post your vids, compare your tricks, plan a meet up, blow out your fav spots and show Atlanta how you skate.
Were also working out some new tees for next year. Help us get our DGK collab tees!!!
NEW CONTEST POSTED HERE GO DO IT!! BOARD GIVEAWAY!!
The message boards, which you can find by clicking "forum" , are a valuable tool in your skate portfolio, build a name for yourself, show off your vids pics and tips. Monthly contests might get ya a free deck a free tee or some free merch.
Interviews are coming, local artists, business owners, skaters, musicians, and local celebs and pros.
If you know someone who you think we should spotlight let us know, well look into it.
We've also added a photo and print section where you can display and sell your works and art projects. If you have something you would like us to showcase just send us an email and well get right to you.
Thats it for now. You can expect our first contest to start in December, for more info check out the message boards. HERE
