BLUES, BOOZE, AND BBQS. If that’s not reason enough to head to Memphis, add Gonerfest, an underground music festival hosted by Goner records’ founder Eric Friedl. 2012 marked the ninth festival in almost as many years, and with bands like The Spits, The Oblivians, and Nobunny headlining, there wasn’t a moment to be missed. So, Al Partanen, Justin Modica, Preston Harper and I were Memphis-bound to check out the music and local terrain. Thanks to Goner for still putting out good music and a great festival. I hope to see you at number 10. —Joe Hammeke

As well as this video, Thrasher has a whole grip of photos from the trip.

Take a look at this short video about rediscovering the feeling of getting on your first skateboard, spending hours on top of days rolling in the parking lot behind the corner store, without a care in the world about “getting tricks” or “deadlines”…

Weather you still have that feeling, or you struggle to remember it, this video is sure to tug at your heart strings (and hopefully your wallet).

a quick trip from North Dakota to Washington, HECK files style.

hello All,

its official, SEND HELP is now available to the general public, digitally (right here) and physically (skateshop walls). the site is still a work in progress, so check back often/all the time. in the very near future you can look forward to exclusive videos, photos, graphics, ads, all sorts of stuff. for now, check out the “Product” page for available goodies, the “Social Media” page for the SEND x HELP twitter and instagram feeds. the “Remember the HIGH 5” page is going to end up housing all the old ads, videos and coverage from our gestation period as the HIGH 5. also if you are not yet familiar, the Digital Dump is the SEND HELP tumbler (formerly the HIGH 5 tumbler)… literally a dump for the tumblr, instagram & twitter accounts of the entire SEND HELP team as well as our friends and inspirations. like we said, check back often and/or follow us on twitter/instagram to get up to the minute alerts on whatever the fuck it is we are up to.

goodbye for now!

the Managment
SEND x HELP

see that menu text up to your right? click it and you will be transported back in time to when SEND HELP was known as “the HIGH 5″ (for legal reasons that we are no longer able to be called the HIGH 5). at the moment you can find a selection of adverts, few short video things and a few never before seen ads and photos. we will be updating this page on the reggzz, best believe we had some shit in the works that we still would love to share with y’all! so stay tuned…
