the "CROSS" in "CROSSROADS" pt.4
The skateboard industry is at a crossroads. We must stand together to defeat skateboarding's biggest enemy: SATAN!
This was the scene at the first (and best) pool we skated. Do we look concerned about "tress-slashing"?
Nah.
Our new Japanese friends were super hyped! First pool party for most of them..."Carifornia herra gnarry!"
Sorry guys, bad joke.
Ryan Harris back Smith with 17 onlurkers...
While his family quietly slept inside, the Fritz garage/youth hostel went OFF! Thanks dude!
Our congregation. Our mission. Our SALVATION!
Cross Choads pt 3 1/2
Here's some sketchy pool footage from S.D.
Reaping the benefits of the mortgage crisis!!
ROSS CHOADS pt. 3
The not-so-hidden agenda on all trips involves trying to find pools. Always. It doesn't matter who's in the van, we're trespassing and taking them to a skate pit if they're with us. This trip we skated three. San Diego County always has pools going (so we hear) but rarely do backyards get sessioned by eighteen dudes hassle-free. How and why did that happen? We're still trying to figure that out. 
Cobra Kyle showed us this smallish Anthony gem near Oceanside. Then he showed us how to properly dismantle it. Savage!
Improper use of stairs. Proper use of stairs.
The biggest crowd for the smallest pool. Sorry Salba. No etiquette here. (not pictured: Delgado and his pad bag)
ACROSS ROADS pt2
Yeah, the trade show thing is ok if bro-ing down is your most popular skate maneuver. 
But for us, we'd ALL rather skate some craptastic DIY spot with a 12 pack in the woods than drink the Chief's free draft with "industry players". KEEP IT CORE, KEEP IT POOR! Who cares!

CROSS ROAD's TRIP part 1
The business/pleasure of skate shop ownership has its rewards, especially when trade show time comes around and its been raining in Portland for weeks. What to do? Assemble a crew , fly a budget airline, sleep on floors, starve, stink, and shred life to the fullest in sunny San Diego - and call it a "write off". 
That's exactly what Shrunken Head did last week for Blackbox's Crossroads trade show.
The highlights of our quick 4 day jaunt didn't occur at the show itself, but Xeno had never been to San Diego OR a trade show, so Big Z gets the first installment...plus, here the IRS can see evidence of our "business trip".
Willis , Weller & Xeno scope the free mags at Crossroads.
Xeno's JIVARO ad spotted in new LOWCARD. UUUNNNNNHHHH!!!!
Feeling guilty for not skating, Xeno ascends the killer set two steps at a time.
"Game face Big Z. Game face Big Z. Game face Big Z...."
King of the groms, Xeno reps the shit. Louie Lopez: "What wheels you ride?"
Xeno Miller: "JIVARO twerp!"
Big Z unwinds after the show with his California Dreams designer cigs.
Welcome to flavor country...
More Pod
In more Pod related news, check the march issue of thrasher for his "skaters eye". Pod has been helping us out with photos since we opened in 2006.(Damn, has it been that long?) He's always down to get in the van and get shit done. Big ups!
New Sauce
Got the new sauce in the shop last week. Once again we have Pod coming correct with a solid issue.
Xeno Miller on the cover? UUUNNNNGHHHHHHHH!!!

TRASH (AKA POWER MOVES)
Along with the new year comes new changes in the Shrunken Head shop squad. Oh , yeah HAPPY NEW YEAR. Check it...
FROM THE GREEN TEAM:
Creature fan-favorite David Gravette (ever heard of him?)joins the ranks (we have ranks (?)-what are we CCS?) after a busy-ass 2009 filming for Hesh Law and Prevent this Tragedy - two parts that stack up with the gnarliest of last year. The purchase of a home solidifies his move to Portland as official - and now with Shrunken Head doing absolutely nothing like his real sponsors can, he should really take off as Mega Lamb. Helllz yeah David! Rock that shit, homey!
Creature double-ups! Also shredding fo the Head is Devin Appelo. Clipper drops FOOL! Killing it. Devin combines the unusually rugged and abstract spots - just check his part in Prevent this Tragedy, or peep his interview in the January 2010 Thrasher. RAW!
Devin's " application" for "sponsorship".
FROM THE PURPLE TEAM:
Not to be outdone, Tribute Skateboards' Ryan Casado will also rep the Head following the release of Tribute Takes Portland, a legit vid in its own right. Casado's been on radar for awhile, we just lagged..... Ryan is sure to barge into 2010 with an ever-expanding bag'o tricks. Peep the piece. PEACE!
Rocco + Front invert x BK = NEWS
Teen Wolf aka Man Boy aka the Roc has been steady crushin the bridge lately. He appears in the NEWS section of the current issue of the Skateboard Mag doin the frontal on the emo wall (shot by Bryce Kanights)while listening to some fierce backwoods banjo music. His dream is to be on "America's Got Talent" combining all of his hobbies ( bread making, cats, banjo, gripping boards) in one act entitled: "Hairy Belly on the Telly"... Go get 'em Roc!
