Here is the trailer for this Atlanta Grafitti Documentary that my homie Mario Rials made. The shit looks really dope! It's about time the ATL got some shine for our graff scene. Good Shit Mario! I look forward to this!

...and i wanna move. im really starting to get tired of atlanta. too much shit and drama goin on. i guess im at that age when you start to not care about the scene anymore. i can't keep up with the 20 parties a week deal like everyone else. it's cool to know that everyone is finally doin their thing but the problem is that everyone is doin the same thing. im at that point now that i don't even care about what goes on in this city. i'd rather stay at home and be productive with my close friends and stay away from the spotlight. i know everyone wants to be on that local celebrity status, which is cool, but that's not my priority. being respected amongst my peers and being a good friend is my priority. from now on im doin what the fuck i wanna do without the consent of "the scene". i've noticed that once you stray away from everything, people start to treat you differently. why is that? think about who contibuted to all the stuff you're involved in right now. i've had my time doin the things that everybody else is doin...hell i did that 12 years ago. there are too many cliques, too many crews, too many parties, too many blogs, too many clothing lines and too much of the same thing goin on. i respect alot of guys for doing what you do and its all love. as far me personally tho, i gotta fall back. there isn't that feeling of anticipation anymore with anything that goes on. im searching for a new begining and a new way of thinking. who wants to join me? khanone

I'm Shoutin Out

To all the people out there that basically made the scene what it is today. I feel sometimes that alot of older heads don't get any credit for their contributions to this city. If it wasn't for these individuals we would be sittin at home listening to wack-ass music and watchin The Hills. These were the people I respected coming up. This IS Atlanta...Recognize That!

Three years in the making, Nothing But the Truth is the story of the Nike SB team, on and off their skateboards. After traveling the world to gather footage, in October 2006, the Nike SB team decided it was time to set the record straight. Filmed on location in the Santa Clarita Valley of Southern California and set to an original soundtrack composed by Mark Mothersbaugh, professional skateboarders Paul Rodriguez, Brian Anderson, Gino Iannucci, Stefan Janoski, Omar Salazar, Chet Childress, Reese Forbes, Todd Jordan, Daniel Shimizu, Danny Supa, Weiger Van Wageningen, Lance Mountain and amateurs Grant Taylor, Lewis Marnell, Dan Murphy and Clark Hassler teamed up with the Belgian director duo Lionel Goldstein to tell the whole truth and Nothing But the Truth.

Think skateboard film rather than skateboard video. The team was given carte blanche to pitch their story. In the story line the skaters would write and direct a film about a "truth" in their lives. What unfolded can be left to interpretation, but has been described by Daniel Shimizu as "Awkward and kinda scary". Whether it's Todd Jordan's attempt at making a "film about women and me" or Omar Salazar's tragic vomiting story, you will be sure to see a new side to the Nike SB team.

Scheduled for release to authorized Nike SB dealers on October 27, 2007, Nothing But the Truth, Nike SB's first full length film will premier in Los Angeles on October 2 at the Kodak Theater with the world tour to follow with the inclusion of Melbourne on the 10th October. - Sneaker Freaker

It's cool to see Grant Taylor from Stratosphere in this film. If you don't know who he is, he is Thomas' son. I've seen this kid skate when he was like 7. Its good to see him doin his thing. Big up to Thomas and Stratosphere, in my opinion the best skateboard shop in Georgia period. These guys are real skaters not posin-ass fly guys who carry their decks at the club and wear Ice Cream shirts LOL!

For real does every so called "Cool Kid, 80's Babie, RetroKid" gotta look like this! Weren't you like 3 years old when this was around. Do you do this to fit in? Are you trying to be stylish or different cuz everywhere I go I see the same shit. Do you know that your dookie gold chain is fake because if it was real you would be a recipient of a Jack Move. You look like a walking circus/rave/bel biv devoe reject/kanye ass licker/im gonna buy a skateboard and take it to the club and mall/bill cosby sweater wearin/jeremy scott (my bad...DEVO) shades havin/i wish i was around when Chess King and Merry Go Round were hot (don't ask if you don't know)/my shades don't have any lenses and are too big for my whole damn head/my shirt is radioactive green/i look like an extra from "Do the Right Thing"/look at my gumby haircut...dipshit! I really can't stand this shit anymore. Whats next? Star Trek uniforms and 16th century wigs. Oh yeah this isn't "Fresh" either cuz every rapper and R&B croony is sportin this same Ed Hardy look. Real rockstars would beat your ass and then sniff and key of coke on your big shiny belt buckle. Skulls only look good on a Misfits tee and for your information Avril Lavigne and Ashlee Simpson were rockin skull shirts before Lil Wayne and Juelz Santana, but of course its cool now because its "hot in the streets". Keep that shit real with yourselves. Dont look the part if you dont live it. Money doesn't make a person fresh, creativity does.
