We’re sponsoring the Pittsburgh BFF next weekend July 2-4. So go see one of the films, and you might win one of our Messenger Bags.

Incase is excited to be a sponsor of this year’s Bicycle Film Festival.

The Bicycle Film Festival (BFF) is a celebration of bicycles through film, art and music. The events kick off this week in New York with a plethora of happenings. Check out John Prolly’s blog for more information.

During select stops of the festival, we’ll be giving away prizes from our Courier Collection to the winners of alleycat races and other activities, so be sure to get involved when the BFF comes to your city.

We’ll be posting updates as the festival treks across the world, so check back with us for continuing coverage.

If you been following Roby Drydek’s Fantasy Factory on MTV, you probably already know that there’s a new movie coming out on June 12th called Street Dreams starring Paul Rodriguez.

The movie is about 
Derrick Cabrera, like all skateboarders, dreams of being sponsored one day. He
has all the talent in the world to make it happen but some major roadblocks to overcome before he can make the dream a reality. He is receiving pressure from all sides, his parents are stressing him because he is failing in school, his girlfriend thinks he is a loser, his best friend has become his rival because he is better than him. Things come to a head after Derrick gets arrested and a fight ensues with his father resulting in him running away from home. He does the only thing he knows how to do and opts to follow his dream to the Tampa Am contest, one of the only ways an unknown skater can get noticed.

Here’s an exclusive clip in which Paul talks about his involvement in the film.

Thrasher Magazine organized the last ever Wallenberg contest last weekend. I got there a little bit late, so was unable to get a good spot up front. I still shot a few photos. And good thing Thrasher posted a video with all the action. Lizard King is my new favorite skater.

We’re sponsoring the “Royal Flush” Cycling event in Sydney, Australia that Le Pista Resistance is organizing.

The ride is designed so that your finish time is NOT the most important thing. The whole aim is to have a bunch of fun riding your bike. There is going to be a whole host of ways to win prizes – being fast is only one of them.

Last week we held a giveaway to celebrate PROOF, a video by Paul Rodriguez. We received a lot of entries and carefully looked at each and everyone of them. We were pleasantly surprised how good a lot of you guys are. We eventually came to an agreement that these are the winners…

1st Prize: Josh Pantoja. Anyone that starts off a line with a switch frontside 360 is a guaranteed winner and totally deserves a Skate Bag.

2nd prize: Kevin Erst. Love the rawness. An Overnite Bag is coming your way Kevin.

3rd prize: Dave Feldman. Not many people can make inward heelflips look good (except Wieger van Wageningen of course) but Dave nailed it. Enjoi your Skate Pack Dave.
