Eric Koston is on Nike SB!

So, after being in limbo for nearly two months since leaving his most recent footwear sponsor Lakai, Eric Koston has finally been announced as the latest addition to the Nike SB team. After much speculation i guess really this is, deep down, what we all expected. Hopefully we’ll see an Eric Koston Nike SB pro shoe soon.

Wow, i guess all good things come to an end! Shocking but true, after 3 years Eric Koston and Lakai footwear have parted ways. No official word on which shoe brand hi will go to, we’ll keep you posted.

“Wish we could say this is a belated April Fool’s, but unfortunately that isn’t the case. As of today, Eric Koston will no longer be a part of Lakai Footwear. We have arrived at this decision mutually and believe it will ultimately create a better situation for all parties involved. We thank Eric for his contributions to Lakai over the last three years and wish him well wherever his path may lead.”

We’ve been following the skateboarding at the battle at the berrics with great enthusiasm over the last few months and after nearly four months, 32 skaters, 16 games of SKATE, one Legion Of Doom, and a case of the Chicken Pox the first Battle At The Berrics is finally all over. It’s like that feeling on january 2nd when you have to get up and go to work or the last night of your summer holidays and you know you have to pack for school! Having said that, what a ride, some of skateboardings finest produced some of the finest skateboarding we’ve seen since, well, since in a long time!

The final went down to Mike Mo and Benny Fairfax whilst Billy Marks and PJ Ladd battled it out for the battle of the berrics 3rd and 4th spot! On top if that there was a surprise redemption battle pitching skateboarding legends and team mates (Girl skateboards and Lakai footwear) Erik Koston and Mike Carroll. I can’t stress enough how good this competition has been for skateboarding, so much enthusiasm and such a great atmosphore. anyway, stop reading this and go out and skate…. or check out the berrics for all the action!!

Tension has been mounting over at the berrics as we get closure to the final. There have been some surprise upsets of the past few weeks that’s for sure. Koston out, Berra and MJ postponed week after week, our nerves can’t take much more S.K.A.T.E!

So, today due to Berra having the lurgy, Johnny Layton gets a second chance against MJ, we won’t tell you the winner just click here for one of the best games yet – MJ vs Layton BATB
