Danny Montoya.

Listen to the boulevard.

Danny has ridden for Rhythm, Listen, and currently BLVD. He has been sponsored by Duffs and Adio for footwear. Danny and Rob Gonzalez started Listen in the mid 2000s as a small board company. They eventually took the operation to Syndrome Distribution and renamed it BLVD. They are still going today with a team that includes Danny Supa, Rodrigo Peterson, Daniel Lebron, Danny Cerezini, and a few others.

Vert Is Dead will be back on Tuesday. Enjoy that Labor Day holiday if you happen to get it off from work.

Chris Ortiz took the photo and Jose Gomez did the graphic design. Note the mid 1990s trend of crediting the designer for the ad layout.

SK8MAFIA Kingpin.

1990s tech guy getting gnarly.

Work's been jamming with the back to school rush, hence the briefer than usual captions. I hope we survive. I haven't even had time to watch Jake Donnelly's new part and that came out a week ago. Go Buffalo.

There's an amazing tribute to Phil Shao by Mark Whiteley at the Chrome Ball Incident.
