fuck you
Fuck you. For what you did!!!!!!!!!!
Hobos and Zombies…
Last night was the opening of the Hobos and Zombies show featuring Colt Bowden, Mike Murdock, and numerous friends. It was loads of fun, and a good way to say good bye to Brick and Mortar skateboard supply. It was a really good run while it lasted, and thanks to everyone who supported the shop.
Check out the photos of the show!
Closing time…
That’s right, the rumors are true. Unfortunately we here at Brick and Mortar have to shut down our doors. I guess the orange julius are just too delicious.
Oh well. Shitty for me, but it’s good for you. Because right now you can get pants for 35 bucks, flannels for 25 bucks, hoodies for 35 bucks, t-shirts for 5, and shoes for 35-50 bucks. Damn that’s a steal
This dude’s about to steal a kiss of that booty. So be like that guy and come get some booty
Kayo Corp
For sure one of my favorite skateboard distributions is the Kayo Corp. The Kayo Corp. is home to Expedition One, DGK, Organika, and Gold Wheels. They pride themselves in only selling quality product. They also have awesome teams for all of the brands, out of which my favorite is expedition. We just got in a few Kayo decks at the shop today. Check them out
And now check this out

You will not regret it!
NEFF SKATE TEAM DEMO TOMORROW AT MILOSPORT 4/20
For your 4/20 pleasure
the Neff skate team will be putting on a demo at the Milosport parking lot. Milo is located at 3300S 3119E. The whole team should be there so it should be pretty sick.
April showers brings…
New gear!!! That’s right we have new stuff coming in. Today we got some awesome cons shoes. Cons rule, check them out.
So nice and clean. We also got in some decks from SHUT. SHUT has been around for a really long time, and all of their boards are made in the US. That’s a lot more than we can say about most brands. Check them out.
Luis Tolentino skates for SHUT. Watch this
What’s new at the shop???
Oh not too much. Just having the best decks, shoes, and clothing of any shop in Salt Lake. But that’s a given. Also Spring is in the air.
It really is time to get rid of your soggy shop deck, or your ripped shoes. So to help everyone out, we here at Brick and Mortar has put all decks at 45 bucks with grip, and all shoes ( except the adidas Buszinetz, those are 65) at 50 bucks. Really can’t get a better deal anywhere. So don’t sleep on it
because it will not last forever.
As for skating, here’s a quick clip. If this is cruising a park for Dylan then I really feel bad for every kid trying to be pro…
Music and skateboarding
Music and skateboarding have always had a very strong connection to each other. Think back on your favorite video part. What made that part your favorite? Sure it could be the tricks, or the skaters style, but one big factor I am sure of is the music which that particular skateboarder skated to. Take for example my favorite video part, Jason Dill in Photosynthesis
This video to me has it all. It has amazing spots, a skater with a good style, good trick selection, and an amazing song. If this video part had all of the same elements, but with this song
I would hate it.
Music plays a huge part in the appreciation of skateboarding as a visual form. But both music and skateboarding share similarities that go much deeper than song choice in a video part. Both music and skateboarding have the possibility to change a person’s perspective on how they see and view the world. As any skateboarder knows, once you get on a skateboard, the city is not just a city anymore. Now instead of looking at stairs and ledges as a place to walk up, or sit down, you are now looking at them as skate able objects. To a non-skateboarders eye this nice marble ledge
is a perfectly good place to sit and rest after a long day of walking. But if you skate, that ledge could take up hours of your day skating, having fun.
Music is the same way. The great composer John Cage created his famous piece 4’33″ in 1952. This composition really changed peoples perception as to what music really is. Take a look:
Now listen to what John Cage has to say about his work
John Cage’s music allows a person to really understand and take a look as to what is really going on around them. His music allows people to really listen to what’s happening around them, and to look at music in an entirely different way. 4’33″ showed people that music was all around them, all of the time. Skateboarding does the same exact thing. Skateboarding is able to show people that everyday objects are not just what they appear to be. Both music and skateboarding allow people to take a step back from how they view the world, and realize that there are multiple ways to look at, and listen to the world.
And because of this correlation, we at Brick and Mortar are extremely excited to welcome New York Cities’ Music skateboards into the store. Take a look
and then come on down and pick one up!
Dirk Hogan Art show
Last Saturday, the 26th of Saturday, we at Brick and Mortar had a little art show/ good time. Everyone who attended had fun (except for maybe a few people who got a little sleepy). Check out the photos to see how awesome it was! The show is still up so there’s still more time to look at the awesome paintings by Dirk, Lily, and Christopher.
These photos were all taken by Sam Milianta
And these photos were taken by me:
Big thanks to everyone that came. And thanks to Dirk, Lily, and swainston for hanging art and supplying the good times
