Wild in the Streets will probably occur all over the planet, but the Emerica team will be heading for Vancouver to rush the streets on June 21st, 2009. They will also make an appearance at Underworld on Saturday June 20th at 2 pm.
In addition, Emerica plans to host the event, sell T-shirts to raise awareness about Lee Matasi's untimely murder by gunshot in 2005 and benefit the underground DIY project he began before his death.
If you are in the area, try to make it to the event to support Vancouver's growing skate community and pick up an I Heart Leeside T-shirt to expand construction of LeeSide park.

Those of you who are unable to make it that far, you can organize your own Wild in the Streets event, find an event already planned nearby or find anything else Wild in the Streets related at www.emericawildinthestreets.com. For more information on Lee, go to www.leematasi.threethousand.org/
While we made our move from EXPN to ESPN, it seems that others have chosen to stay with the X. LA's Xtreme Boardshop are holding strong with Real's best—Ramondetta, Busenitz, Dompierre, JT Aultz, Ernie Torres, Keith Hufnagel, Justin Brock, Damian Bravo, Davis Torgerson and Jake Donnelly. The whole team will be down in LA for a roof top skate contest on Sunday June 7th from 12 pm to 3 pm. If you're in the area, head down to Koreatown Plaza (Roof Top Parking Lot) at 920 S. Western Ave. #343 Los Angeles, CA . The Real team never disappoints.
While I'm talking Deluxe-talk, head on over to the new Thunder catalog . It's got some gems in there.
It's been talked about for many years and now is finally coming to life. On June 1, Vans released its first-ever book, Vans: Off the Wall, featuring 20-some-odd stories that collectively tell the story of the brand: from Rowley to Warped Tour, from Customs to Joel Tudor, from Alva and Cab to artist collabs. The book is 208 pages in hardback, with more than 350 full-color photos, and published by Abrams, world renowned for high quality pop culture books. Vans is rolling out lots of bonus content and book info all of which can be tracked at www.vans.com/vansbook.
