I hung out with my old buddy Stjepan Boban yesterday. Not saying that he’s old, just saying we’ve been friends for a long time. Stjepan and his twin brother Raphael shared a part in a skate video that I made with my buddy Damian Rodriguez in 1999. Damian now works on films with Martin Scorsese, and I’d like to think that it’s all because he has a skate video that he we made together in his portfolio. Anyway… I looked on youtube and found the Bobans part - along with some other awesome late 90’s Austin footage. (Thanks, Claybrook.) Hope you guys enjoy watching old regionally specific skateboarding. If you don’t, I’m not sure why you’re on the Roger site.

One other thing: The Bobans were in an old Anti-Hero ad with their name misspelled. I always thought that was sort of awesome too. (Thanks Chrome Ball.)

Finally got that email I was waiting on. Looks like we’re still a company. Happy Friday.
