Our good friends at Grindstate.com are moving out of their old digs and into a new place. Typically moves are punctuated by the obligatory housewarming party, but these guys chose to look at the situation differently. Why piss off your new neighbors when it's the old ones you don't care about? Why trash your new house, when your old one will quickly become someone elses problem?

One of my favorite blogs is a BMX/design site called Defgrip. Founded by graphic designer/BMX industry fixture Harrison Boyce Defgrip fuses two very disparate topics into a surprisingly sensible product.

One of Harrison's partners at Defgrip, Nuno Oliveira, recently headed to the UK to cover the Nike 6.0 Tunnel Jam. Nike has been throwing a ton of weight behind action sports over the last few years.
