Crop Circle Drop Speed

Custom Boards kick ass and I love seeing new ideas come to life. This board has a really cool grip job with crazy circles done on a custom painted red top. Simple, clean and an effective use of grip and negative space... This Dog Digs.

The High Level Downhill...

... is a race going down this weekend in Edmonton. It's being put on by Local 124 and all the info you need can be found ---> HERE
Check out the prize boards that I found photos of Sean working on.

Sun stroke and sneaking about...

It was a hot one here in Vancouver this past weekend. So sunny that I burned my little paws on a hot tin roof. Keyboards are difficult enough to use for a cat, let alone a cat with singed paws. But I took this time away for the computer to catch up on my snooping. What do you think this is?

My new cat friendly pro model maybe?

Hey it's LIAM

Liam can be described to a tee in two words..."free spirit". The last thing I heard him say before typing this out with my paws was "i am but a leaf blowing in the wind"...enough said. Liam lives at the Stoop in East Van where everyone is welcomed with open arms, even dogs like myself. He skis in the winter, he skates with briefcases and sunglasses are always on his face, along with an ear to ear grin...under his Jesus like beard that is. If you spot him regulating stop and say hey, i'm sure you'll learn something interesting and leave the conversation happier than when you started it. He'll probably give you a sticker too.

Reese's peaces

It's turning into a Animal shelter at Landyachtz and now there's another hound to help me gang up against the Cat. Meet Reese, she's a timid girl with a whole lot of attitude. She hangs out up stairs with the Office staff and makes her presence known by barking every time an unfamiliar face appears. Gerrrr

Custom boards are the BOMB

Thanks to Justus for send in these custom Drop Speed photos. The board looks really nice and if i could ride a skateboard i would want to ride that one. I may even lift a leg and claim it as my own however these humans just don't understand how us K-9s work. Anyway thanks for the photos Justus and don't worry, i have instilled fear into the heart of Cat and pretty much run the show around here now. WOOF WOOF

Introducing ...

Andy. AKA: Pom. He's been working here for a number of months now, and even though it takes him at least half an hour to figure out where he is in the morning, us animals don't judge. It can take me all day to wake up from my nap, so hey, whatever. Pom seems to like me, but I'm not sure if that's cause he's looking for a snack for his Boa Constrictor or not ... he really might be more of a dog person.

Sticker Ninja

Humans are always looking for clever places to put up stickers and hide them all around town. Keep your eyes peeled for hidden Landyachtz stickers around Vancouver. Pop by the shop if you want to get in on some sneaky Ninja Style Sticker action and we'll hook you up with a fat stack to plaster in any creative spot you find. If you are an out of towner (who lives in Canada) send us a self addressed stamped envelope and we'll send you some ammo to cover your home town. If you're from somewhere other than Canada, send us 2-3 American dollar bills, and we'll take care of the rest. If you spot, or make your own stealth sicker bomb, snap a pic and email it to rocky.the.doggy@gmail.com and if its sweet enough i'll post it on the blog.

9th Annual Seawall Cruise

This Sunday afternoon at 4:20pm (what an odd meeting time) many longboarders will be meeting at the Big tree, where i like to mark my territory, at Beach and Thurlow. The humans are getting really excited about this one...I hear hundreds are planning on showing up and pushing these longboard devices around in a big circle. I'm wagging my tail for it and hope my best friend will take me with him so I can get some exercise and love....Come join us and if you see me give me a scratch and a rub.

Ever seen a taco bomb a hill?

Don't worry I haven't either. Though I think that might have something to do with the fact that I don't know how to skateboard. His name is Tate... but everyone here calls him TACO for some reason. He once found a box of Affrican Safari in an alley, so you can bet he's ready for the impending zombie apocalypse. He loves living/skating in vancouver and always scratches me in the right spot when I've got an itch. He's finishing work right MEOW, so I'm going to go get some before he leaves.

Eating like a king...

... it's the way to be. Last week Meatball bought me some high quality grub, and my tummy has never been happier. I have more energy, I'm feeling friskier than ever, and would you look how nice my coat is looking. This may have something to do with my new brush, or maybe the delicious fish oil, but who knows... I'm a cat not a scientist. Now if I could only learn how to skateboard like these humans do....

Sit on this

The latest batch of Grizzlys came in. And wow, look at the size of those bushing seats. You'll be able to shred with whichever bushings you desire and hangar slippage will be a thing of the past. Also check out those new black pumpkins, softer then orange, and harder then yellow. These are the sweet spot.

And here's Nate

He spends his day, sitting at his desk, shedding the gnar on the internet, and answering your questions on the phone. Good thing he's got some goggles to protect him from all that gnar. He skates, he skims and he snowboards, but if that isn't enough for you, tough luck, cause he doesn't care what you think. Unless you're buying the beer.

Self Portrait

The Cat keeps posting Landyachtz staff bios up on the blog so this week I decided to take matters into my own paws. My name is Rocky and I'm the doggy with the lowdown around here. I spend my time roaming the shop, using my keen sense of smell to find treats, eavesdropping on insider conversations and get a lot of attention because im so darn cute. Come by and give me a tummy rub or a scratch behind my ear.

Bomb Hills Landyachtz Style...

Introducing...

Pants (aka. Andy)
He is one of the many that work here. He busts his butt everyday so that your gear will ship on time. His hands are very strong and he gives the best kitty rub downs around. In fact I wish he lived at the factory so he could pet me all the time. He's the resident tech support guru.... so if you have a problem... Yo, he'll solve it. Now check out his switch drift, while this kitty revolves it.

woof woof...

I can't let the cat out do me in posts...here's a sign i found while my owner was walking me...its funny if your a dog like me.

HAHAHAHA...funny cops

Everybody poops

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.
