Jensen's Finest Foods in Wrightwood, CA

2013-02-10T19:43:00.001-08:00

If you are reading this blog, then chances are pretty high that you have been to or heard of Mountain High in Wrightwood, CA. While the mountain and features are great and the service friendly, sometimes it is good to look around a mountain town and see what the locals snack on. We had driven past this Jensen's Finest Foods hundreds of times until one day, we rolled the dice and gave it a shot.

It was a homerun. Here's the recap.

This is the Caprese Panini.

Mozzarella, tomato, basil and cappacola layered and grilled until the edges are crisp. Nothing beats a warm sandwich on a cold winter day.

Fresh ingredients and low prices.

This is the Turkey Cilantro Jalapeno Pesto. It will knock your socks off. Has a spicy kick to it. Perfect for a post snowboard bite.

Jensen's is in the center of town. You can't miss it if you are driving through Wrightwood.

No trip to Mountain High is complete without a trip to Jensen's.

Support your local deli.

Penny Skateboards

2012-11-20T14:03:00.000-08:00

I was looking for a way to stay in snowboarding shape over the summer and liked the idea of these Penny Skateboards. I used to have a blue Penny board back in the early 80's, but I don't think I realized what I really had at the time. These boards are perfect in every way in my opinion.

These boards handle like no other board on the market. I have tried a few imitation boards and they don't seem to have the same formula as Penny.

Penny has been doing it forever, and the quality of the product they put out shows why.

They also have a larger Nickel sized board and a newer model known as the Marble.

If you are looking for a retro skateboard to cruise around the neighborhood or the beach, the Penny Skateboards brand is the one for you.

Good Vibes

Do you need a new show to check out on Netflix? I am highly recommending "Good Vibes," a cartoon from MTV about "two high school surfer dudes (who) spend their time partying, checking out beach babes and dealing with the ups and downs of school and family."

I love the animation style.

I love the beach scenes.

I love the characters.
Shit, I even like the songs they play.

It has a little bit for everyone.

Bonus: I think the characters look like Old School T&C Surf Designs characters... Joe Cool, Tiki Man, Thrilla Gorilla etc... from artist Steve Nazar.

Good Vibes... Check it out.

What do you like to watch on Netflix?

Twoeightnine design: tshirts are incredible

2012-06-18T20:58:00.004-07:00

I had that last post about No Mas and their Rated Rookies shirt and I was all pumped up on baseball cards. I was looking to write about the old school wood panel design of the 1987 Topps Baseball Cards when I stumbled across a shirt and another incredible clothing company.

Now you are a Future Star.

Oh. You like Bo playing football? Silver and Black Attack

Do you remember those Dennis Hopper Nike commercials? Bad Things Man.

Blades of Steel was nice because you were penalized if you lost the fight.

Sir Charles was a bad ass because he was short and played with the big dudes.

Check out more of their stuff at two eight nine designs.

They have a nice collection.

No Mas Apparel

Check out these shirts. These guys over at No Mas know how to do it right. I could probably post up twenty shirts from this company, so I want you to understand that these are not all of their best products.

Float like a butterfly, you know the rest. The Greatest of all time. Ali.

Do you want to fight? Come at me, bro! Pride

1989 Fleer Billy Ripken baseball card. Someone writes "fuckface" on the bottom of his bat before he poses for the card. The joke continues over twenty years later. Fuckface.

Still talking baseball cards. Donruss had Rated Rookies for the top prospects each year. Here is your opportunity to be one. Rated Rookie

No Mas even carries some beautiful artwork. Mike Tyson, the 1986 New York Mets, and Lyle Alzado are just a few of their featured athletes. Check out some of the artwork here

No Mas is doing huge things.

Damian Sanders Powder and Rails

2012-02-19T21:35:00.002-08:00

Vice Magazine and Burton snowboarding teamed up to shoot a series of documentaries on the roots of snowboarding called Powder and Rails. I discovered them on Netflix not too far back and loved the shots and the message.

One episode that really stuck out to me was the Damian Sanders episode. He had the most incredible hair style, fashion style and snowboarding style.

Personally, I love giant method airs and tweaks.

Damian Sanders would go huge. Plus with the hair and outfits. Outstanding. Throw in a few Pimp n Ho parties back in the day and this dude is probably loaded with classic stories.

Check out some other videos when you get a chance. Love that Jeff Brushie episode as well.

Pixel Rampage's Gridiron Heroes

2012-02-19T15:12:00.000-08:00

Do you love Super Tecmo Bowl? If you have ever read my blog, then you would know I am a huge fan of all things Tecmo. A new app is being developed that brings the Tecmo style game play to a social media platform. The game is called Gridiron Heroes and it looks sick.

The game is being launched with the help of an incredible website called Kickstarter. Kickstarter is an incredible idea in itself, so I highly recommend spending some time there as well.

Gridiron Heroes seems like an exciting new development for all you Tecmo lovers out there. I hope they stay true to the roots of Tecmo.

The best part is that using their forums and Facebook page, you can feel a part of the process.

Donate to the project if you want to get some players named after you. I am thinking that David Fulcher definitely needs to be represented in the game. Naming a guy after myself would be cool, but Fulcher was a Tecmo God in my mind.

PS This website Super Tecmo Bowl has some incredible features and products available. Do you love Tim Tebow, Bo Jackson or Christian Okoye? Check out their shirts. Great products.
