The Blown Out Shoe Contest Winner!

The Winner!

BLOWN OUT!

Congrats to Kevin from Albany NY, for submitting the most blown out etines photo! There were a lot of good entries, some with completely missing toecaps from so much skating, but Kevin was chosen based on pretty much having the gnarliest overall damage to a single pair of etnies we have ever seen. These shoes have done some mileage! Kevin will be flown out to the etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest for a weekend of skatin' and hangin' with the etnies team. Golf anyone?

Thanks to all who entered. More contests to come. Maybe even sooner than you think. Hint: Holiday time.

Fire-induced blowout!

Lots of tre flips

Slow Newsday. Default: Hot Chicks!

Got redheads?

Sometimes there isn't always fresh etnies news to mention here. So in order to keep myself employed, I default to hot chicks and other nonsense. Check out Heather Christensen. She skates too!

Some Contest Weiners!

Sheckler as seen in THAW!

Sorry for the delay folks, I'm super busy over here taking photos of horse poo and skating the etnies park or STI Lab for the good of the etnies.com readership, so sometimes things like this slip through the cracks.

As far as the THAW contest goes, so far we have to offer congrats to Stephen from Santa Barbara, California; Julia from Livonia Michigan; Tony from Marlton NJ; and Rollie of Placentia, California. All four got some free etnies kicks and a copy of Tony Hawk's American Wasteland! Whoopeeeeee!

As for the Best Skate Blog contest winners. Tim from Squaw Valley California pondered the unexplainable in this blog by asking:

Why does that guy have his head up that machine's ass?

It made me laugh enough to pick him as the October winner.

The September winner was chosen for using the "flattery" technique in this blog. Steven from Normal, Illinois won by stating:

etnies is the best shoe company ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And no, I didn't edit out any of his exclamation points. Keep in mind, no one else will win in the future by telling us we are the best. We already know it now that Steven told us. Thanks Steve, you're the best too.

Still waiting to hear from the August Blog Comment winner I contacted, but once again, if that doesn't happen soon, I'm cancelling his ass! Oh ya, and the November winner will be chosen soon!

Samoa Contest Winner And Photos!

Happy Karlene!

Ok, so this was a while ago, but back in October, one lucky winner won a free trip to Samoa with the etnies surf team. Her name was Karlene, and as you can see from the photo, she's very happy. There are a few more photos just freshly scanned in the Brandon 4x6 Gallery. Thanks to all who entered. There will be more trips to win in '06!

Posse in Samoa!
