Kristian Svitak just e-mailed us with news of his new wheel company called LandShark. Fellow 1031er Ben Raybourn rounds out the lean/mean team so far. Check out their website right about here.



Well it has been almost 3 years since my buddy and I started 1031. Yeah, crazy! And people still dont know who we are. Your right we suck! We suck so bad we decided to start another company to bring us down even further. I am here to announce LandShark wheels! We wanted to do this about 2 years ago but we where too broke. Since then we decided to cut back on eating so many corn dogs so we could save the money to do it. When we knew we wanted to do this my buddy asked “what should we call it?” I looked down at my forearm and saw one of my mistakes I got at the tattoo shop about 5 years ago. Yeah, I thought it was real clever to get “LandShark” along with a skateboard with a shark fin on it tattooed on my arm. Duh! But, as I looked down at my arm, I said “Ive got it! LandShark wheels! I even have a logo ready to go!” So there it is, More bullshit to flood the market. The web site will be up as soon as our buddy makes one for us. It will be LandSharkwheels.com . As for a team? You think anybody wants to be a part of our lame shit? No just kidding! That is all building right now. The one dude that is definatly on it is Ben Raybourn. Shit maybe it will just be him. Who cares ,no one will buy this crap anyways!

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 LandShark GO!

About seven years ago, the only thing I knew about Lutzka, I knew from my brother, Than, who lived in Wisconsin. "He's really good. He can shred the bowl and he kills the street course," he told me. Then, he told me he rode for Illenium, which was a skate company beloved in the Midwest. Illenium? I thought, that's rad. A few days later, I went to visit my brother in Milwaukee and saw Lutzka kickflip wallride from a quarterpipe to a bank-to-wall. This, to me, was amazing, since I was considerably more worse than I am now.

Nowadays, Lutzka is a steady killer for Almost, Oakley, Globe and Monster. The latter has allegedly bought him a house, which is amazing to me. They also provided him with a fedora that he wears in almost all of his footage. He's even got a far advanced sequence of effects and partying and girls and bottles of champagne in his Globe part. I think Lutzka's awesome and he's come a long, long way. As I watch him in Globe's United by Fate Episode 4, whipping full kickflip frontside three sixties, I ask myself…is there any way at all to get sponsored by Monster? Does anyone know? I really need to get off my friend's couch. I urge you to consider me as a representative. This is what it could look like.—Josh Brooks
