Pipeline Blowout
Here's some choice pics from last weekend's demo in Houston. Again, we must thank Todd from Pipeline for making it a truly unforgetable experience.
"Suffer the Joy", it'll hit you right when you stop looking.
The path to a free board in a toss is never easy.
I think the Vertical Vampire (Darren Navarette) threw the offending board...
We are out skating!
It's the weekend!
But here is a photo of the squad waiting to skate in Barcelona...
And their new buddy, "Ben Deho"

Johnny Layton online interview...
Check out JLay's interview...
Where did you grow up skating?
I grew up skating around Lake Elsinore/Wildomar/Murrieta/Temecula area. I used to skate the Ollie House about everyday when it was around. Then when I got a video camera, some friends and i would get together and ....read more....at www.theskateboardindustry.com
A-Stone Shreds the Guitar
Toy Machine has been playing around with new board constructions. We feel the "Martin Mold" was a bit overload. At least we're trying....
"Suffer the Joy", cheer hard enough and you'll get an encore.
Toy Machine Blows Out Houston
These loyal pawns kept the excitement high with raised arms and loud screams. Thanks to Todd from Pipeline for hooking us up. More to come as the week drips on...
"Suffer the Joy", our very own action/adventure story.
Pipeline demo report!
Dear Tum Yeto,
Give my regards to Ed Templeton, for his Toy Machine Team proved to be a class act. Besides their professionalism, they’re down to earth good people, and talented skaters. The demo was a great success. Next year with a little more advertising and lead time, I’d expect the event to be double in size. I’d also personally like to thank Johnny, Austin, Matt, Josh, and Kevin for their interaction with the fans for there’s no doubt a lot of kids were truly touched by their good nature and sincerity. And to you too Amy – It’s nice to have the backing from your side. The product arrived timely, just as you said it would, and it made everything run glass smooth. I’ll personally thank Bosco next time I see him.
Look forward to doing business with Tum Yeto. Our business has made leaps and bounds in the last ninety days and with your support there’s no limit.
And Team Toy . . . thank you so much for the time you spent with my son, Taylor. Though it was just another roll on the boards for the team, it was a heart felt moment from a father. If ever you visit Houston, Texas again, the door to Pipeline’s always open.

Toy Machine Lexus model?
Mikendo from www.mikendo.com snapped this photo at the recent Tampa Pro contest. Toy Machine and Lexus are working on a new model. Not really.
Remember that guy J-Lay arm-Wrestled?
Well it turns out that he has some skeletons in his freaking brain.
Be careful of what lurks just under the surface, be it this guys shirt, our our government...
Suffer the Joy of a double flip off from a racist freek-a-zoid...

Booted
Josh was skating through this parking lot in Huntington and a she-cop gave him a harsh boot. Rad.
"Suffer the Joy", to serve and protect.
This is what happens...
...When Josh is standing in your way while you are trying something on a giant Hubba Ledge, and Griffin is standing there taking a polaroid...
See the Middle-finger "fuck you" of sweat formed on Josh's back?
Later, Johnny front blunted that beast...
Phases of Grif gone full-circle
Back to one of the older Phases, the black hair covering face phase.
Ed Gets Tech
Tempster isn't really known for it, but the dude can hold a manual longer than you've been alive. Shit, he doesn't even need wheels....
"Suffer the Joy", following us like a shadow.
Bilbo Takes Tampa
Billy loves them contests. They're hard to hate when you take 1st in best trick and 8th in the street comp at Tampa Pro last weekend. Never bet against Marks when the odds are up and the purse is high.
"Suffer the Joy", gambling with our dignity.

Air-Time
Johnny knows that the sure-fire crowd pleaser at any demo is to take to the skies. He flys high and often at these things, and you guys love him for it. He'll be back from Australia tomorrow. Welcome home, JLay.

"Suffer the Joy", keeping the home-fires stoked and the pawns stoked-er.
Jumping Josh Flash
Sometimes it takes a little aerobicizing to limber up for a demo. Josh gets Jane Fonda at a recent performance.
"Suffer the Joy", we're just now breaking a sweat.
Matt Bennett gets photo of the day!

Nerd Sighting
Filming is a daily exercise of pride swallowing. If I ever did have cool points they've long since been deducted.
"Suffer the Joy", it hurts just thinking about it.

Suffer the Joy of being alive, and having enough time to read a magazine or website...
Tempster Gets Tough
After laying the banks to waste, Ed takes a moment to wonder what designer Kiera Knightley chose to wear for Oscar night or which adapted screenplay he really wants to win. I hope he wasn't disappointed...
"Suffer the Joy", the longer the wait, the more satisfying the result.
Harmony within Gnarl-a-tron?
Griffin let me raid his photo album, and I scanned this shot he took of Josh getting his gnar on. New angle never seen before!
Here is the KEY to this photo...
At Harmony's wedding...

Your humble Man-servant and giver of posts...
THE ONE AND ONLY KEVIN BARNETT
Let him know that he is doing a good job!
(I never do...)
And ladies, let him know that he is handsome.
(His grandma remarked upon his birth; "he looks like an old man.")
Although, I HIGHLY doubt any ladies are trolling the Toy site...
