From Geoff himself...

As from today, Arto Saari is no longer riding for Flip Skateboards, and has found a new home at Alien Workshop.

Everyone at Flip wishes Arto the best for his future with the Burton family, and are in total support of this move for him.

"Arto is like a brother to me. After years of being on the same team with the same goals it was time for him to move on. We remain the best of friends and will continue to skate together probably harder and probably more so than ever!!! I wish him all the best and as a brother, I shall always have his back"

Damn... You know you're a little jealous of THIS scenario. Don't hate though, congratulate. Vincent Alvarez is sick, I've witnessed the magic. Watch for that video part on June 15th.

Nothing lasts forever kids... Sixteen years as a pro skateboarder is pretty damn close though.

I found this video over on the SPoT site. Jim Greco is fucking hilarious without any intention of being that way. He's also wearing the same $8,000 ushanka that George Costanza bought with Elaine's business credit card. Coooooostanza!
