Check out the links to the online and Adobe Air version of the TiltShift Generator after the turn along with a few of our experiments. EPM Rating: Super Nova Cool.

Hmmm? Who could it be? EPM “what we do is secret” Out!
A prepared skater never leaves home without their “lip stick.” Case in point, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Kim Petersen, demonstrating how to apply a layer of metal shavings to the Treasure bowl lip. The stoke level of any session is kicked up a few notches when Kim is in the mix. Check out a few more pics of Kim after the turn along with a few video clips.
Congratulations Kim!

This week’s YouTube Tuesday features a quick trip around the Northern hemisphere. Our journey begins in Oslo, Norway with the band Pirate Love.

We wrap up this little adventure with a hop over the ocean to Chicago and a visit with Urge Overkill. Climb aboard and check out all the sounds after the turn.
