Justin Eldridge, Silas Baxter-Neal, Bobby Worrest, Danny Garcia and Raymond Molinar just got back from a filming trip throughout Texas. The first stop was Houston, the fourth biggest city in America. Things went well in H-town, though it was unseasonably cold for this time of the year. We then moved along to the capital of Texas, Austin, where we were greeted with cold again.
We skated some ditches and other interesting spots throughout Austin then headed further south to visit the Alamo. Remember the Alamo? We do now. The weather seemed to warm up a bit and so did the skating. San Antonio was a bit rough to skate, but the guys managed to get through it and skate every day and night regardless. Special thanks to Tech Gnar skate shop, Carter in Austin, Joe Castrucci, Guru Khalsa, and Zach and John in San Antonio for showing us around. Keep on the lookout for some leftover footage from this trip to hit the Web soon!

Raymond Molinar just purchased a new axe. I saw a photo, and it looks pretty sweet. Tune in to the next Team Report to find out if it’s an actual axe, or a fancy guitar. He has also been shredding on his skateboard, as well. The next time you guys see Raymond, tell him where he can get a good bowl of pho, because he will really appreciate it. No, pho is not another name for marijuana, it’s a Vietnamese noodle soup.

Rodrigo Tx. is currently in Brazil visiting his family. Soon, he will head out to Spain to hook up with fellow éS team rider Javier Sarmiento to film and live the good life in Barcelona. No complaints there, I’m sure.
As always, P.J. Ladd has been keeping himself busy by finding new spots in the greater Los Angeles area and continuing to bag footage for the éS video. P.J. even hired his very own personal filmer. Now, that’s dedication!
Like P.J., Justin Eldridge is also very busy filming. Rumor has it he might have a broken wrist, though. Kids, send all your get well cards to…nevermind, I don’t think Justin would appreciate me giving away his address.
Cale Nuske called last week and said all is well down in Oz and that he misses Chipotle. No, Chipotle is not a girl. It’s a chain of Mexican restaurants here in the U.S. Seems that Cale really loves salsa, and they don’t have much Mexican food down in Adelaide.
Lil’ Nyjah Huston has been killin’ it. He just had an amazing interview The Skateboard Mag, and we can’t wait to see what kinda of footage he has been piling up for YéS!
Silas Baxter-Neal just scored a big Skateboarder interview and is filming away for the éS and Habitat videos.
Robert W. Worrest, better known as Bobby, has been shredding the cold streets of DC lately, and is heading out West shortly to film for the forthcoming YéS! video. If you haven’t already, peep his part in the new Krooked epic. It’s totally gnar-gnar!
Danny Garcia has been busy, as well. He was recently spotted down in Mexico City filming for the Habitat video and trying to learn Spanish. Danny is getting ready to record his debut album for Ship, Captain, Crew, which should hit the shelves sometime in the near future–perfect timing to accompany his first-ever éS pro shoe!
Speaking of the Habitat video, Raymond Molinar has been very busy lately, but not just skating. He is turning into quite the Polaroid connie sewer. Peep some of his work, and once again, congratulations to Raymond for turning pro!
Did any of you guys see éS flow rider Justin Schulte’s part in Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood? Well, if you didn’t, you should, because he kills it. Speaking of flow guys, Jeff Meicut has a sick interview in the newest issue of The Skateboard Mag. Good job, both of you!

Today, December 15, all you SoCal éS fans better join team riders Rick McCrank, Justin Eldridge and Danny Garcia at the annual Skatepark of Lake Forest Holiday Festival, when we will give out 500 pairs of free shoes to underprivileged kids from the Orange County, California area. Note: You don’t get free shoes, just those kids do.
Rick McCrank and Silas Baxter-Neal have been in town for the last week, hitting up spots with Danny Garcia and Raymond Molinar. Silas was just skating, and Rick did an éS ad photo shoot. Check Raymond’s Habitat ad in the January 2007 issue of TransWorld Skateboarding and Danny’s shots in the “Therapuetic Purposes” article in issue 34 of The Skateboard Mag.
Rodrigo Tx. has been hitting up the Volcom park lately with some homies from Brazil. P.J. Ladd recently participated in a group photo shoot with a bunch of other pros for an upcoming industry ad campaign that will encourage kids to buy pro model skateboard decks instead of blanks. Cale Nuske is resting his knee back home down under. Bobby Worrest has been spending some time back East, trying to find a warm, indoor skate spot.

As we mentioned recently, Nyjah Huston celebrated his birthday on November 30 with his family. The little man is now 12 years old. Wow! He’s so young, but freaking good. He also won an Action Sports Rookie of the Year award from Fuel TV and, ironically, Arby’s.
It’s been a while since éS last Team Report, so they figured it was about high time they got you guys caught up on a lil’ éS news.
Rick McCrank is up in Vancouver, trying to keep warm now that it’s turned a bit nippy. Go buy a pair of his éS Anti-Social shoes right now. Not only are they perfect for skating, they’ll keep your feet nice and cozy!
For the past couple of weeks, Rodrigo Tx. has been on the Feast South East Tour. Check out their site for a lot more info, photos and video clips.
Now that the weather has cooled down a bit in Arizona, éS filmer Scuba Steve decided to round up a nice little crew of homies–including éS team riders Cale Nuske and Danny Garcia, plus friends Mike Taylor and Giovanni Reda–for a little road trip filmin’. I’m sure there wasn’t a dull moment with Reda around.
They returned just in time for Bling Fest, where Cale, Justin Eldridge and Raymond Molinar signed some autographs at the éS booth. P.J. Ladd also showed up for a hot minute before heading out to go skate.
After the GvR contest back in October, Javier Sarmiento spent a month soaking up some sunshine and getting his skate on here in Cali, but now he has vanished like a puff of smoke back home to Vittoria, Spain.
Nyjah Huston and his family are kicking back down in San Juan, Puerto Rico, enjoying a little time off for vacation. Hmm, I thought that when you live in an RV, every day is a vacation. Just kidding, guys.
Silas Baxter-Neal is taking care of business up in Portland.
After spending the past month out here in Cali, Bobby Worrest is now back East shooting for the next éS and Krooked videos. Speaking of vids, don’t miss his full part in Get Familiar, which just came out. Look for a 10-page article about it called “All or Nothing” in the January 2007 issue of TransWorld Skateboarding.

Well, most of the éS guys were recently spotted on the road, doing some exploring and filming on the West Coast. Justin Eldrige, Cale Nuske, Javier Sarmiento, our very own little powerhouse Nyjah Huston, Silas Baxter-Neal, Danny Garcia, flow riders Mike Barker and Kelly Hart and one mystery guest have been shredding small California cities like Fresno, Sacramento, Sonora and Chico–followed by a slightly larger hamlet called San Francisco–to film for the ever-looming éS video.
Bobby Worrest couldn’t make it due to the flu, or was it really because he had to stay at home to guard his ice cream stash? Rumor has it that his roommates have been stealing his ice cream, so Bobby was forced to buy a mini-fridge for his room. Hopefully, he will follow that up with a mini-ramp in the backyard. In magazine land, Bobby recently scored a one-page mini-interview in the December issue of Skateboarder and a backside tailslide shove-it in the Crops photo gallery in issue 32 of The Skateboard Mag.
In other news, Rick McCrank is stuck in Vancouver due to some visa problems, but he will be visiting the States very soon. Until then, check out his Matix ad in the October issue of Slap.

If you can’t wait until then to see Rod, check out his pivot kickflip in the December issue of TransWorld Skateboarding and fakie heel flip in the Crops photo gallery in issue 32 of The Skateboard Mag.
P.J. Ladd has been up in Los Angeles, doing what he does best: skateboarding! For proof, check out his switch flip shifty in the Plan B Vancouver Campout article in the October issue of Thrasher.
The pride of Spain, Javier Sarmiento, got a Ricta ad in the November issue of Thrasher, and NorCal’s rising son, Nyjah Huston, landed a one-page Firing Line interview in the October issue.
Silas Baxter-Neal has been stacking up a lot of coverage lately, too, with a Planet Earth ad in all the mags, an Either / Or article in the November issue of Skateboarder, two big pics in a Habitat tour article in the October issue of Slap, and a kickflip backside Smith in a Habitat ad in the October issue of TransWorld Skateboarding.
Danny Garcia is no stranger to the coverage meter, either, as he recently appeared as a Guest Reviewer of a CD in the October issue of TransWorld Skateboarding and shredded it up in a Habitat ad in issue 32 of The Skateboard Mag. And don’t miss éS Canada rider Jordan Hoffart’s four-page interview in the November issue of Thrasher for some Great White North love.
Last but not least, big-ups to éS flow riders Jimmy MacDonald and Morgan Smith. Jimmy just recently won the King of New York contest, and Morgan landed himself in 10th place at the West 49 contest up in Toronto. Way to go, dudes.
Is this really the éS team, or just a bunch of hippies? The world may never know.
