The ocean below, of course, is the Pacific, so named by Magellan for it's generally tranquil nature. In 1971, Tom Sims, a surfer and art/geology major at U.C. Santa Barbara who occasionally betr ...

It’s gotten a lot harder to sell skateboards these days, unless of course your price is right.

We’ve all had a trip or two which has either created chaos, or ultimately end in it. As I’m getting old, I feel it’s my responsibility to reminisce and share some stories, of what some of the older members of eryc used to be like when young.It was an awesome summers day, Toby, Will, Brum and I were pondering things to do, to help pass some time, as it ...

I was still an eager skateboarder when one of my mini-dreams came true, I was to be living in an area just a minutes walk away from a skatepark, I felt for sure that this was the start of many good things, I used to think of how much better it'd be when I finally returned home, and the thought of skating an actual park whenever the hell I wanted to was actually thrilli ...
