DC Fall Skate Team Update
It’s been a while since we updated everyone on what the team’s been doing—between King of trips and all the other activities the guys get into, things have been pretty busy across the board.
After finishing up DC King of Barcelona Wenning decided to stay and skate Spain for a bit longer, enjoying everything Barce has to offer. He’s now home in New Jersey. Kalis has been skating a lot and is now back in Grand Rapids after visiting Dyrdek, Colin and the DC crew here in So.Cal. He’ll spend the next few months polishing off his part for the Alien Workshop video, due out this spring. Kalis also has an all-new pro shoe that’s just hitting skate shops.
Danny’s recovering nicely from the knee surgery that kept him out of X Games a few months ago… he was seen at the DC park a few weeks ago rolling around but taking it easy until the new cadaver part in his knee fully grows in. He’s also been full throttle with his music, collaborating with Renee Renee, Splif, Eddie Rap Life, Jake Brown, Travis Barker, and others (including his band Escalera) on a bevy of projects. Look for the results from those sessions soon. This week he’s fighting fires to defend his home in Rancho Santa Fe.
Also on the music tip is Ryan Gallant, who’s staying busy these days on his new drum machine. Right now he’s in Boston kicking it with buddies while the Red Sox fight in the World Series.
If you’ve been watching his MTV show then you know what Dyrdek’s been up to for the most part. Look for season three of Rob & Big, coming soon. He’s also involved in a major motion picture project with De Niro and Pacino, among others. And, he currently has two DC signature shoes in shops: the Rob Dyrdek and the RD. Check them out over at dcshoes.com if you haven’t yet.
Colin’s currently at home in Carlsbad, hitting the streets a lot as he films for an upcoming Plan B promo. He's also working out the details on the new house he’s building in that same area. There’s rumors around that he’s building hubbas and other stuff in the backyard. We’ll have to wait and see.
Ryan Smith is back home in Vista, CA after a motorbike wreck a few weeks ago. He's already walking around without crutches, and last week he was spotted cruising around DC Headquarters working on his new pro model, the Smith 2.0, due out next Fall. More details on Smithers as they become available. Ryan’s Mystery teammate, Lindsey Robertson has been on his board shredding Black Box and other spots around San Diego. That’s when he’s not playing Madden, making mixtapes, or riding his BMX. And Devine Calloway has been skating a bunch around Bakersfield and is in the process of moving down to Los Angeles.
On the am side of things, Greg Myers has been skating tons (as usual) and has finally moved down to the San Diego area to be closer to DC, Blackbox, and the North County skate scene in general. It’s good to have him in the mix.
