It's been over a year in the making, and we've been hearing about it every time we see one of the crew at a race or snuggled in the bushes along the side of some secluded canyon road with a Hi-Def camera. It's undergone months of editing, polishing and every other reason to drive skaters insane while we wait for Dan Pape and his gang to release Colabo's skatum opus, The Fellowship of the Bearing. It's out!
Fellowship of the Bearing
“...the first production of its kind
to take you into the lives of skaters that look at street hills as
their stomping grounds”
Colabo Innovations is proud to announce the release of the highly anticipated The Fellowship of the Bearing DVD project, filmed in HD. 13 months in the making, the FotB is set to bring longboard skating to the forefront of the action sports industry, while revolutionizing the quality of film in extreme sports.

The Film is a remarkable adventure into groundbreaking downhill skateboarding competitions that have, since their inception, defined new styles of extreme skateboarding. This film takes the viewers to top races and some of the world’s highest peaks with breakthrough footage from some of the hardest working and most recognized downhill skaters out there. Matched with acclaimed cinematograhers and skaters that know the ropes, the passion is obvious by the amount of heart that was dedicated to shooting. “Our hope is the tech and smooth high speed skating will inspire skaters to try new types of skateboarding by seeing it done first hand by some of our industries best athletes”. Aside from the Colabo riders (Nathan Lang, Mike Mc Goldrick, Kevin Reimer, Max Erwin, Brianne Davies and Quinn Dubois) in the film, our journey took us well beyond our original goal to simply make a solid team video.
Gareth Roe's skateboards have always been in demand, but also very hard to get over the past few years. Now, the crew at Stoked Skateboards have gotten together with Roe Racing...
Roe Racing and Stoked Skateboards.
For immediate release: In the past year, the demand for RoeRacing products (www.roeslalom.com ) has exceeded the capacity of RoeRacing. Recent retooling and marketing revisions will increase this capacity. With the assistance of SBC Distribution (sales@sbcdistribution.com ) and Stoked Skateboards (www.stokedskateboards.com ), RoeRacing will introduce his product for the first time to external vendors. The first of which will be Stoked Skateboards. Gareth Roe (RoeRacing) and David Rajewski (Stoked Skateboards) have been working out the details of this much awaited partnership over the summer months. The first decks that will be available through Stoked Skateboards will be the Cross Step and the Mermaid. Both available in deck only and complete configurations. Stoked Skateboards will add other RoeRacing decks to the product line as demand increases.
Every once in a while, a story comes along of something that just makes us think the world might not be headed straight to perdition. Recently, we learned about a skater in San Francisco named Jumbo. Seriously, that sounds funny, but it turns out the only aspect of Jumbo Duclayan that's oversized might be his heart...

The San Francisco Sammich Run
This year was the 5th Annual Sammich Run! It was an idea I had come up with years back. Basically, I wanted to get my friends to skate through San Francisco with me. But a lot of them stopped skating for one reason or another. Also I wanted to do something to help the homeless whenever I went and skated through San Francisco. Hence the “Sammich Run”: we’d skate through town on Christmas, and hand out sandwiches to people that could use one. No cost, no catch, just Merry Christmas.

This is the first year in which I decided to photograph this event. I don’t think I will photograph next year’s event just because I feel like it slows down the flow of us skating around and handing out sandwiches. So here is a rare glimpse of what my friends and I do for Christmas.
