From Down Under to Canada...

.... and now he's headed to Europe, so look out. His name is Adam Yates , or "Yatesy" and he shreds harder than the paper shredder that I almost got my tail stuck in yesterday. He's been working here at the factory for a bunch of months now, and I'm going to miss him while he's on his trip... You know, one less set of hands for heavy petting. It's a shame he shaved his moustache, but at least his skullet is still going strong. He leaves on Friday and will bring Europe wonderful things like shake face and "two more pitchers of beer please". Be on the look out for him at the IGSA events over the next month, and if you see him remember to let him know how good he looked with a moustache... and be sure to tell him to... Get Some!

More Poison

Look at the New Venom Shocker wheels. I keep hearing these humans talking about Venom Bushings and how great they feel. I went up to these new wheels and gave them a sniff and a lick and i can't see what the big deal is all about, but hey I'm just a dog with a blog.

Introducing...

Chances are if you've called the factory the voice on the other end of the line is Manuela or Manny for short. She joined the Landyachtz team a few months ago and keeps us on our paws everyday. Manny makes music...beautiful music, so if you ever get the chance to check her out do it...and buy the lady a drink well you're at it. Go to her myspace now fools! Also, give her a call at the shop 778.785.6855 and distract her from her work!

Hats on for Street Swell

Check out the Landyachtz Sales team in their fresh thuggin' hats. John over at Street Swell boards sent the hats over and I think that these cats look fresh rockin their new head gear. Look how happy free swag makes these crazy humans. Apparently beards are the new black...these humans really confuse me.

Deadly Chipmunk?

I'm very happy that I haven't encountered any of these strange creatures here at the factory. The fact that such a small rodent could be so agile is terrifying.

Everythings going to the Dogs...

So the cat cornered me the other day and let me in on his little plan to spy on whats happening at the Landy factory. My best friend Meatball brings me to work with him all the time and the humans really like me so i've got an in. I've never really payed much attention to whats going on here because im always rummaging around for empty grip tubes to bring to my office and chew on. I also spend alot of my day making the rounds to get some heavy petting. I plan on using my keen doggy nose to sniff out some insider info. Alright... time to go dig up an old bone i burried in the court yard a few months ago.

6th place is good...

.... but maybe skateboarding downhills instead of just wearing your areo lid at work would have worked better...

Work fast. Skate faster.

Congrats to Mischo for winning his own race, Nate for being so great, Scoot for having green hair, and Matt for keeping it a Landyachtz podium. Meow.

The Beagle has landed

Talk about a doggy invasion... both Rocky and Rosie rolled into the shop this morning, So I think I'll be making myself scarce. She may look cute, but I heard on the street that she's kitty killer. I'm going to spend my day over at the pound teasing the dogs. They're at least in cages, so I should have no troubles.

Sharppen your teeth!

Cause the Vernon DH commences this Saturday. It's a two day event this year, also claiming the title of IGSA North American Championships. The Meatball has an oppertunity to make B.C. racing history by winning 3 years in a row. Fortunately for him, I heard Meatballs roll down hills fast.... mmmm meatballs....

Trolling the net..

... can occasionally lead to something worth while. The key word there was occasionally. Found this on another blog, and they clearly heart LY.

Mmmm Smokies...

... put these on the grill... I dare ya. Snooping around Blake's computer while he was on lunch, I came across these. Apparently they're going to be available with whatever base plate angle you want. Well, almost ... (actually availiable in 20, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55 degrees). You'll be able to mix it up and get the perfect feel, for your style of riding.

Prowling the Hood

If you've ever come down to the Factory, then you'll know a little about how "colourful" the neighborhood is. I decide to do a little exploring last night, and let me tell you, there are some seriously crazy people around here. The communinty garden in Strathcona park is so nice and peaceful. Especially at night when I don't have to fear getting picked up by the Bald Eagle, to be carried off and served for dinner. Wandering around the garden I realized how nice it would be to have some greenery on the roof of the Factory. Now I wonder how I can get Landyachtz to comply with my wishes.

Once again the polls have closed. And although there is a clear winner (based on majority), many of you may feel like the results are not truley representetive of the voters. But hey, thats voting in Canada for you... Retro sunglasses for the win!

Fresh new urethane?

... what the heck is urethane anyways? Apparently this, is a pile of urethane.



I found this on Ryan's computer, while snooping about last night. These Monsters and Mini Monsters are a new formula, in new colours. Don't they look absorbent.

Never trust a dog...

... to do a cats job. He forgot the batteries for the Gopro I lent him, so there will be no insider footage of The Attack of Danger Bay this year. However it turns out these humans are much weaker minded then I ever would have imagined. They went and had t-shirts made with the name of my blog here on them. I can't wait to get them onto some more complicated tasks.



In regards to the poll I put up last week. The Pilsner motif option was the clear winner with 45%. Neat Eh?

Does your Mummy have Bamboo inside?

Because the ones headed out of the factory now do. Is the world ready for bamboo inside? So far, 2009 has brought a new shape and construction for the Mummy ... but what else is in store?

The Polls have closed and the people have spoken. Pilsner colours for the win!!! Check back on Tuesday to vote in an entirely new poll. Now go outside and enjoy the sunshine.

Put your sticky little fingers in these...

Apparently the Landyaundice was an issue. Peoples hands were turning yellow when they're gloves got wet. I wouldn't know, not needing slide gloves, or enjoying the rain very much (wet fur sucks). The latest batch of gloves do however seem to be dye free. I bet lots of people will enjoy customizing these.

Poisonous Pumpkins?

With the factory only being open 9-5, I've been able to do lots of snooping about. The crew here has some interesting things up their sleeve for this year. They seem to have injected some snake venom into these Pumpkin bushings they use in all of their Bear trucks. I hope it doesn't have too much rebound, cause I ate three yesterday.

No rest for this Kitty.

The crew here at the factory were busy killing hills and shredding the gnar all weekend. While they were distracted, I took the van in for a check up. She's in great shape, and will roll smoothly to and from the Sunshine Coast this coming weekend. Attack of Danger Bay Eight promises to be epic, and even though I'll be here at the factory all weekend, the Dog has agreed to do some filming for me while on the coast.

Thats not my litter box

But it seems that Tom has left some prototypes lying around. Could these be the new urethane formula everyone's been talking about? They feel stickier, if that's even possible.

Gaining Intel

I'm going to be letting the cat outta the bag as offten as possible (pardon the pun). Giving you the lowdown on whats going on here at the factory.

Momentum is starting to build, as Attack of Danger Bay quickly approches. Registration for Jakes Rash started Monday at Noon, and has filled faster then I ever would have expected. This downhill skateboarding thing sure is getting popular.
