focused

Ohh! Let me tell you what happened to me New Year’s Eve! So a couple months ago when I made these decks I messaged Christian Hosoi on facebook asking him if he’d ever heard focused before? And told him how I got ahold of these hammerheads his signature shape and used his logo as a tribute. So I get this message at 11:45 on New Year’s from him giving me his phone number asking me to text him when we play in July and I started freaking out that my favorite skateboarder in the 80’s just gave me his phone number. I think whoever purchases one of these decks at our show should have him sign it for you

I made one of the Bones Brigade boards into a clock if you’re interested hit me up

This was our 2000 reunion show at Chain Reaction the ticket and the line to get in. My friend Ron Conflict was who promoted our show and he phoned me at work one day to tell me that we were the first band to ever sellout presale tickets which was shocking to me when I knew of some of the bands that have played there before us. I was inside helping Holly set up our merch table so I never saw the line outside and never found out how many people were turned away. So for our July 13th show when presale tickets go online I suggest you grab em quick because the club only holds a little over 200 people.and I feel confident that it will sellout. And we can’t wait to see you all there!

focused will be playing on July 13th at the famous Chain Reaction (my old stomping grounds) an announcement on ticket availability and pricing should be soon. In 2000 focused was the first band to sellout presale tickets and I’m not sure how many people we turned away so I suggest you get em when they’re available. Can’t wait to see this summer

The focused reach graphic is now a clock and it looks awesome if you’re interested let me know. I’ll post the other one soon

So I did this today

I’m really sorry to say that our reunion has had to be postponed until a later date and we’re hoping that August or September will be the best time. We were really looking forward to April but the show just wasn’t going to work and again we’re really sorry to all of you that made plans to be there. And we promise to keep everyone up to date with what is going on for a future show

I’m posting pictures of all of the focused skateboards that are all for sale and if you’re interested DM me and tell me what color and design you would like. All of these decks are new old stock from the 1980’s from companies like Alva, Sims,G&S, Dogtown and Christian Hosoi. These shapes are very rare and are prefect for hanging on the wall or you could mount some trucks and wheels and skate it. When you message me I’ll give you all the info on what company made it and what pro skated it.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! Time for some 1994 Punk Rock Pork.

We would like to thank everyone for their video submissions in trying out as the new focused drummer. Well we found our guy!!! So Jonathan Peace went to school for what? Drums. What does he do for work? Teaches drums! I’ve given him a nickname already.. The Machine!!!

We’ve got stickers!!!

Christian Hosoi was an iconic 80’s skateboarder and this was his signature shape the Hammerhead which I had when I was 17. When I went to skate contests as a kid there was a huge rivalry between Hosoi and Hawk and they’d battle it out with there own bag of tricks blasting airs off the ramp. Tony was a more technical skater where Christian had sick style and his signature move the Christ air. When I found this guy on marketplace that was selling these old 80’s boards and he had an Hosoi I had to have it! So the other deck is the focused hammerhead a tribute to Holmes
