updates August 20th, 2008 Manny Mania 2008 is a wrap! Congratulations goes out to our own Joey Brezinski for winning it all! Also to all our riders who absolutely slayed it taking 6 of the 9 top slots. Good times...click the banner to your right for some photos of the weekend. August 8th, 2008 First and foremost, R.I.P. Ray Underhill. Beyond just being a fan of his as a kid, I had the good fortune of working with him directly. He was always a standup guy, honest, friendly...over the years he and Eastern Skate Supply were instrumental in the success of Autobahn and I will always be in his debt. Condolences go out to his family and loved ones. The new Traffic video "Moving in Traffic" is out! The full video is on their site. Click below...
It's a good watch for damn sure. Kudos Ricky, good shit! Now all we need is a Traffic box to show up at the Autobahn office. 8" is perfect...heh. Cliche BBQ These guys are always having a good time...See you in NYC Lucas! See you in San Vanalona too! That's right! If you haven't heard, one of the new skaters in EA's Skate2 is Autobahn Pro Lucas Puig! We knew about this one for a while but had to keep it under wraps...Skate 2, can't wait. Hoping we can get our clear cores to be actually clear in there..."it's definitely doable." Crossing fingers... Yeah, speaking of NYC, don't forget to remember, Manny Mania '08! Man we have a lot of riders in there! Going to be a ball for sure... Legendary Autobahn teamrider, Steve Caballero has a great feature over at Skatebook. Check it out! How's that boneless?
Nice tour video up at Organika featuring Autobahn Pro, Adelmo Jr. who will also be in NYC for the epic weekend of shredding... aaanddd....
Clint's got the cover of the new Skateboarder along with a full interview and an Autobahn ad sidecar. So there's that. These things aren't Autobahn related but cool nonetheless. Good ol' Bob McCrooks (below)
had an idea. Not that he never has ideas...but yeah these things are tight! Brilliant Bob. And last but not least, Colby Carter is on my Myspace and I saw this part he threw up. Nice man! Done. Motivated. Going skating. Piece. July 22nd, 2008 How is everyone's summer going? Our guys are busy out there doin' it!
One of the original Autobahn teamriders, Joey Pepper has a nice interview in the new Skateboarder. Pick it up and keep an eye out for the Expedition video coming this holiday season... This is Squirrel...
he's part of our works team, and has the current Mag Minute over at the Skateboard Mag. Love this kid...click on his mug to watch him terrorize.
Matix - AZ does it Brady gets bendy at 1:20. Any Brady is good is you ask me. Long time works rider Danny Falla done went pro. Congrats Danny! Red Bull's Mini Mania has been going down. Here's some good stuff from New Jersey stop. Ron Deily? Works teamrider and nice on the transition.
International rider, Pontus Alv is a stone cold shredder. Above footage from the Copenhagen contest out in Denmark. Yeah PA!
Jon Nguyen interview and footage can been seen by clicking on his picture above. Yeah Jon! When's Tilt 3 coming? And the following is not related to Autobahn in any way but it's awesome.

June 30th, 2008 Long time Works teamrider Ray Maldonado is featured in the current mag minute over at The Skateboard Mag. Check it out and see what we already know!
In international news, one of our guys out in Japan, Junicha Arahata sent this clip over. Lesque Skateboards and Jun-san are holding it down for Autobahn in the land of the rising sun. Thanks man, looking good!
and in totally random news, Brezinski is back from a 5 week stint in Europe. Here are three random tourist shots of Bucky in Europa... He also won the Lord of Lines contest out there and is saving his winnings in Euros because he doesn't have confidence in the dollar. Joey does have confidence in his first pro series wheel samples he is testing! They will be out very soon so keep your eyes peeled here for a first look as soon as they arrive from the factory...
June 5th, 2008 Chocolate/ Autobahn riders Chico Brenes and Chris Roberts are all over the place filming for the next Chocolate movie. Here's a nice trailer for it...
that's a high-pressure kickflip right there! Good to see Bob back in action too... May 20th, 2008 Congrats to Steve Caballero for ripping the Pro-Tec Pool Party at Vans Orange this weekend. 2nd in the Masters' division and 1st in the Thrasher Longest Boardslide contest with 18 blocks. "18 blocks" doesn't sound as long as it looks to me. Check it out here (The video clip is towards the bottom.) Also, Jose on the cover of the new Skateboarder! Do it up Projo!

The Autobahn Wheel Co. would like to welcome the U.K.'s Danny Brady to the team. His quick feet and unique approach made it a no-brainer. His stuff in Fully Flared left us all wanting more. Danny's also a cool chap to boot! Word is there is a new Blueprint Skateboards full-length dropping this holiday season so be on the lookout! Welcome to the team, mate! Also, Tilt Moder and Adidas/Toy Machine flow rider Jon Nguyen has been added to the Works team! If I could show you his footage...I can't. Dude, it's right here on my desktop too. You're bummed cause it's really sick.
March 26th, 2008 So I was holding on to the pictures of the new Caballero LE wheel samples I have sitting here, but someone done leaked 'em on the internets! http://steviecaballero.blogspot.com Yep, Stevie now has a blog! Huzzah! It amazes me that we have Stevie on the team. I am a fan myself and to think that we have everyone from him to Lucas to Barley...boggles my mind sometimes. The Danish international team has been killing lately...I must admit I these clips were sitting in my inbox for a week or so...hot damn though! The boys are slaying it out there! Jonas Skrøder
Chris Ørnebjerg
and Steven Tayler
all these parts courtesy of Claus Hermansen from the video "Flümers" Thanks to Claus and also to Bjorn at Bonito our Danish Dist.

This has become quite the international post...to round it out I'm going with this... Deja Vu by Cliche is coming soon! I'm starting to get really excited for this one...keep your eyes peeled, maybe we can get some kind of giveaway going...Boglio?
March 18th, 2008 Featured Works Teamrider Colin Commito click the banner to your right ---> The Works team is made up of our flow team and riders that we respect and will give wheels to as long as they want them. They all provide feedback to us which helps us make our wheels as good as they can be. Justin Cefai may be up next...Zarosh maybe? Keep your eyes peeled. The Works team is diverse. |
