The new issue of Canada's Concrete landed at the office a few days back and our man Lee Yankou (still lovin' that part) chalked up a seriously dipped front smith for the cover. From their blog, here is the story behind the photo:
"This particular San Francisco session with Toronto’s Lee Yankou happened after a full day of skating with some of his Stereo teammates. After showing Lee a photo of this bump-to-ledge in the Financial District (which Geoff Clifford had previously brought to my knowledge in the city I live in!), we decided to call it quits and reunite later that night. I was pretty skeptical about anyone’s ability to get something on this ledge – it’s stomach-high. Lee gave up on trying a 5-0 after landing a sketchy 50-50, then proceeded to do the most humanly proper Smith Grind on it. Pop, lock, and drop – plus a spark thrown in for good measure. After reviewing the photo we realized the smith was so dipped that Lee’s front truck was grazing the lower ledge." —Concrete Skateboarding
Props Lee! Meanwhile Stereo Alum and OG EMB ripper Rick Ibaseta has launched a brand new shoe concept aimed at the toddler market. Keep your wee'uns' toes warm in style with Nimble Footwear. In further early week banter, Skate Daily's Weekly Image serves up one from the vaults with Mr. Pastras and Sir Boulala circa 2003 (below). Finally, Raymond's RV Tour wrapped over the weekend so stay tuned for complete and imminent coverage.

This Thursday we decided to put up the Jason Hernandez sculpted classic of a HiFi Commercial he shot with Clint a few months back now running amongst the rest on the BATB3. The project had been set in motion right around when Mr. Peterson, Brady, Brophy, and Benny all got on the team—handily marketed by The HiFi Mystery Riders Contest of Star Spangled yore. I can't say enough good...
