This week’s Artsy Fartsy Fridays comes from Jeremy Riley! This little guy looks like he has a whole bowl full of spirit! Also reminds me of Sheckler for some reason…Where can I get a pair of those pubic hair short shorts!?
The Wall
Along this wall (not the one on Facebook) is where 90% of all SunnySide things are created…
What about the other 10%? Well those things are either made by a fat lady while she’s doing her duty in the bathroom or an artistic homeless man outside a coffee shop. Next time you put on a SunnySide shirt, think about the long road it took to get on your back, and be thankful.

Kyle Boch Ravages Transworld!
Kyle has an ad for Glamour Kills in the April issue of Transworld Skateboarding!
If you didn’t know, Kyle is a pretty big deal, and gets free boards from these dudes. Not many people can say that they have literally boosted an ollie to the moon! But Kyle can! Maybe next time they might even put his name in the ad!!
You can check out the whole issue for free at Zinio. The ad is on page 135.
Next up, a SunnySide Transworld ad!? – Not likely…
Sunnyside Visits the New Tempe Park
This video features Dennis Apker, Derek Brennan, Jon Cain and Alex Poole. Thanks for watching, friends.
Trip to Ed Templeton’s Art Show!
So, this was suppose to also be a skate trip…But don’t get your hopes up…
The dudes on the trip:
Jon also felt it was necessary to be a creep and snap these ones on the way too:
And these:
There were a ton of people at Ed’s show. And I gotta say, some people had some pretty good B.O.
While we waited to talk to Ed, Jon got inspired by the photos on the wall and decided to try a little photog action of his own:
We brought Ed a custom SunnySide Tee!
He was super stoked…said it made his night! Scope it over at the Toy Machine Site
Jon told Ed how me and Alex have the same birthday as him. Same year too!!
And Jon is convinced that Ed looks bummed in this photo…Probably cause Jon’s birthday is May 25th. What a loser.
Look who else was there again!
With the drive, that was a pretty exhausting day. So we got some pizza, from some girl who thought we ordered off the menu funny and said she was “about to bust!” After feeling scared and weirded out by that, we headed back to the Super 8!!
Guess Alex liked the idea of me and Jon sharing a bed, enough to take a photo of it…Or it could have been my sick beanie steeze.
Saturday rained all day, which sucked. We drove city to city trying to beat the downpour to the skate park, but we always lost.
We got word of an indoor skatepark from Jordan, but when we got there it was covered in clearance racks and stacks of 20 dollars shoes.
We ended up skating a ledge spot under an overhang. The one dry place we could find all day.
We did get some bird footy for the SunnySide version of Mind Field though, so that’s good.
This one is through Alex’s binocs!
Sunday we finally did get to skate 3 parks. One in Brea, which was pretty fun. One in Chino, which sucked cause the good Chino park was still closed for the rain. And one in Corona, which sucked too. Don’t take AZ or Utah parks for granted..Or the fact that we don’t have to worry about getting hassled by the po-po for not wearing pads.
And of course, we didn’t film anything! It wouldn’t be SunnySide if we weren’t blowing it all the time right?
Here’s a photo from after we skated the Brea park, though…so that’s pretty close.
The End.
Alex Poole’s Weekly Video Pick Vol. XI
How To: Make Your Own Mind Field!
Apparently all you need is a Baby Einstein video, a Dinosaur Jr music video, stock footy of birds, videos of raver kids self-filming, a profile photo, and some mind-blowing skate footy!
Originally posted by Erik Bragg…After this video got 500+ views in a couple hours on YouTube, BURTON CORP/ALIEN WORKSHOP took it down. “Looks like this tutorial is effective enough to trick even Alien Workshop. Ha!”
Re: New SunnySide Logo! – JUST KIDDING
Well in case you didn’t get it, this was all a BIG JOKE…Kinda reminds you a little of Comune’s or Krew’s logos? … Exactly… We’re just poking a little fun at this drama:
Ashbury Blog – Kr3w Snowboarding | Kr3w Blog – Snow Intro Video
– Keep in mind who was on the original Comume snow team…and make sure you read the comments at those links!
We have no quarrels with either company, but judging by how big our company is, this post has probably spread around the internet like wildfire and there will be fake logos with eggs and hate mail popping up over here really soon! (Another joke…in case you missed that too)
Hope you haven’t stop liking us too much…
Artsy Fartsy Fridays III
This week’s Artsy Fartsy Fridays comes from a page that I (Derek) did for a little known zine called “Activity Adventure Qwest” that came out in October 2009. It’s basically a collection of mazes, crosswords, word search, coloring pages, riddles, games, and other activities on paper that you can take with you everywhere that you might be bored!
The zine is available for $5 from The Trunkspace in Phoenix AZ, at Frosty Darling in Salt Lake City UT, or directly from the curator, Camilla Taylor, here.
Feel free to print this out for your friends and try it yourselves.
Now in the spirit of Artsy Fartsy Fridays, Jon, Alex, and I are off to California to skate and go to Ed Templeton’s art show:
