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.

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.

Congrats guys! Let us know what you think of the bags! Thanks to everyone that entered, there will be more giveaways in the future, so keep our site in check. Subscribe to our Twitter!

Paul got some bangin tricks on The Berrics (still my favorite site!)

Plan B Skateboards put up a pretty insane promo video called “SuperFuture”. Here’s Paul’s part:

Download the entire 15 minute long movie (110MB).

Travel luggage for your skateboard…and then some. With storage for personal items on top, the Skate Bag’s lower compartment is equipped to handle a complete board setup, spare decks and parts.

My absolute favorite site right now is The Berrics. They got some of the coolest skate videos ever. Pay close attention to Buttery Ass Mondays and Wednesday With Reda. Comedy overload!

When the Berrics recently organized a contest where kids could submit their own “Banging” skate videos, we decided to throw in a complete set of the Paul Rodriguez Signature Collection for first prize.

The winner was announced today, check the footy:

Congrats Cody, you’re bangin!

We spent this past Saturday in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. hosting an event in conjunction with Active to celebrate the launch of the Paul Rodriguez Signature Collection.

Paul was there to meet and sign posters for everyone who came out.

He even took some time to participate in the free skate session that was going on outside.

Greg, Courtney and Christine held it down at the stenciling booth (check out the P-Rod face stencil!)

Thanks to Paul Rodriguez, Active, the staff at Rancho Cucamonga and everyone who came out. View the entire set on Flickr.
