Leave the gun, take the cannoli.

Since its rise in the US during early and middle parts of the last century, America has had an obsession with the Italian Mafia and organized crime in general. The stories surrounding the country’s earliest Italian immigrant crime families are among the most told in modern American lore especially when it comes to the silver screen. Arguably the most infamous and influential Mafioso film of all time is The Godfather. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola in 1972, the film won three Oscars and ignited the country’s mafia obsession for decades to come.

With that in mind, Baker Skateboards recently partnered up with Fly Society on a collaborative T-shirt honoring the film and, in a more esoteric way, The Boss, il Cappo—Andrew Reynolds. Get familiar.

Skateboarder Magazine’s Sunset Rampage 2

Cruised down the street from my apartment last night to check out Skateboarder Magazine’s second installment of its Sunset Rampage at The Standard Hotel on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. It was a ton of fun last year and it was just as fun this year. Back to back annual mini ramp appearances by Sal and Alphonso Rawls certainly helps. Open bar does too. Here’s some crappy photos I shot on my crappy Blackberry.
