Happy Halloween! Here’s what’s been going down with the Emerica team.
Andrew Reynolds has been making trips down to the infamous Carlsbad gap to rack-up yet another trick that will blow minds. It’s a doozy.
Heath Kirchart has been searching high and low throughout Southern California for spots to destroy in his part in the upcoming Alien Workshop video, Mind Field. Check the teaser.
Ed Templeton is hanging around Huntington Beach, skating the park and working on his art. Ever wondered what Ed would look like with a moustache? Wonder no more.
Leo Romero has been doing a bit of house hunting around the Long Beach area. I think he snagged himself a keeper. He is growing up these days, becoming a homeowner and all. What’s next for Leo, you might ask? Wife? 2.5 kids? Yeah, right--it’s party time all the time for Leo.
Kevin “Spanky” Long and Braydon Szafranski are out in New York for Halloween. We're not sure what they are dressing up as, but those guys always come up with some amazing costumes. They are in New York for Neck Face’s Closed Casket art show.
Bryan Herman has been out skating the Los Angeles area with Baker filmer Beagle. All 32,000 of you kids so far who have signed up to receive the Emerica Disinformation Newsletter already got to see Herman completely destroy the Skatepark of Tampa during our Emerica demo there a little while back. For those of you who have not signed up, what’s the deal? Ah, well. You’ll get to see the clip on the site soon enough anyway.
Jerry Hsu is rehabbing his ankle after having surgery a little while back. He will be back on board by January. In the meantime, Jerry’s been doing a lot of thrift store shopping, coffee drinking, cigarette smoking and catching insects with his bioluminescent, proboscis-like tongue.
Aaron Suski is at home in Tucson with his girlfriend, waiting for his baby girl to be born any day now. Suski has some sweet photos in the new KOTR issue of Thrasher--including one of the sickest nosepicks ever!
Chris Senn has been spotted around the Southern California area a little more frequently lately. Maybe he was getting cabin fever after living in Hawaii so long.
Modern day hobo Brandon Westgate is riding the rails out to the Make-A-Wish Skate Jam in Houston this weekend with the Zoo York team. After that, he will pack up his sack and head to Los Angeles to film with Emerica filmer Jon Miner for the week. Brandon will be at the Emerica demo at Pharmacy Lancaster on November 10. He also has a bunch of sick photos in the KOTR issue of Thrasher.
Marquis Preston just returned home from a filming trip out to Denver. He is lurking up in Palmdale, playing video games and hanging out at Pharmacy Boardshop.

Heath Kirchart’s part for the upcoming Alien Workshop video is getting closer and closer to completion. He has been filming around Los Angeles and is getting ready to take off to Des Moines, Iowa next week to handle some biz at his shop, Subsect.
Ed Templeton is enjoying some time at home in Huntington Beach, California after a busy Summer travel schedule. In case you don’t already keep up with Ed’s blog on the Toy Machine site, give it a scroll.

Bryan Herman was out at the ASR trade show last weekend, flossin’ samples of his new Emerica shoe, the B.Herman 2. Although Bryan has unbelievable flatground talent, he was taken out early in the éS Game of SKATE by Javier Sarmiento. Herman has been out filming for his part for the upcoming Emerica video and chillin’ at the Baker apartment.
Leo Romero has hardly been home this Summer. Between RVCA tours and Emerica’s Wild Ride, he has been staying pretty busy. Leo returned home this week from a RVCA tour in Russia and is looking forward to sleeping in his own bed.
Jerry Hsu is recovering from an ankle surgery that he had a couple of weeks ago. He injured his ankle earlier in the year and was hoping it would just get better. Unfortunately, it didn’t, so Jerry went under the knife. Everything went good with surgery and Jerry should be back on the streets killing it in a few months.
Braydon Szafranski is going to be in the Northwest this weekend on an Ambiguous tour.
Aaron Suski and Brandon Westgate are probably sleeping off Thrasher's King of the Road Tour at the moment. They finished up the hell ride this past weekend, where they were racking up points for the Zoo York team. Unfortunately, they didn’t rack up enough, as they ended up in last place. Oh well, they had fun anyway. Oh yeah, check out this funny photo of Westgate and Suski clowning around for some wacky King of the Road stunt!
Chris Senn has been hangin’ loose at home in Hawaii. Senn Dog is heading to his old stomping grounds in San Francisco next week to bomb some hills and shred through the city.

Heath Kirchart kept it real last week when, instead of leaving the Alien Workshop filming trip to Oregon early by plane, he opted to take the Greyhound home to save a few bucks. Heath said it was a complete nightmare and that he would never do it again. He seriously almost went crazy. I guess a 24-hour bus ride sitting next to some freaks will do that to you. Heath is back home in Los Angeles, skating and working on his motorcycle.
