etnies, GvR & EA Skate 2!
Monday, November 24th, 2008
etnies and Electronic Arts Inc. worked together to bring the etnies GvR to the Skate 2 video game, and to create an etnies Skate 2 RVM shoe for real world skateboarding. The etnies RVM Skate 2 shoe will be available when the game hits stores in early 2009.
“Skate 2 is a celebration of skateboarding and it’s really amazing how this game has brought the culture of skateboarding to so many kids. I really liked being a part of the original Skate, and it’s cool that they included me in Skate 2.” says Jason Dill. “The game is pretty realistic. I think it is funny to play a virtual me on a video game.”

Slap’s Regular footed GVR team for ‘08!
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008
From Slap’s website:
After evening the proverbial and literal score with a scorched-earth style of contest ripping, as evidenced by the many eviscerated right-foot-forward carcasses left stinking in the relentless Orange County sun following the brutal and total annihilation of their competitors at last year’s GVR, Team Regular is poised to continue their vicious and blood-thirsty onslaught against the feeble, battle-worn Team Goofy. Regs has circled up majestic and Viking-like skateboard contest warriors Sean Malto, Chris Cole, Andrew Reynolds, Rick McCrank and Ryan Sheckler to blaze a path to victory once again, where they will bask in the glow of 10,000 swords shone upon by golden light from the heavens. Be there to see the relentless attack with your own eyes, or be here to see constant updates from the battle field as we broadcast the destruction across the world wide web.
