PRESS RELEASE - THE DC VIDEO DELUXE EDITION DVD SET TO RELEASE JANUARY 31, 2004 - Vista, CA . . . Wondering what the DC team has been up to since The DC Video wrapped in June? The answer is simple: skating. In the case of Danny Way, skating and filming an entire new part on the Mega Ramp. The results will be seen in The DC Video Deluxe Edition DVD, set to hit shops January 31, 2004. The Deluxe Edition DVD incorporates new and unreleased skate footage of the DC skate team, and also includes many other bonus features. A first in skateboarding, the packaging for The DC Video Deluxe Edition DVD is a full-color, hardbound book that contains 86 pages of unreleased photos, tour notes, memorabilia, and exclusive team interviews. The book/DVD packaging is the same size as a regular DVD case, so The DC Video Deluxe Edition DVD will fit on shelves with other DVDs. “There was so much good skating and so many good ideas that came out of The DC Video that we felt people should see,” said DC President Ken Block. “The DVD format really lends itself to bonus features and a collectible book. We now have a place to tell many stories that came out of The DC Video, like how Dyrdek’s part came together, what went into building the Mega Ramp, and what Danny went through in breaking his own world records on the Ramp less than a week before our LA premiere.” Included in Danny Way’s new Mega Ramp part is a generous amount of groundbreaking footage filmed on the Mega Box, highlighted in the Decade print ad. The ad, currently running in skateboarding magazines, is the subject of much speculation and buzz on what Danny is going to pull off in the new DVD. There is also new footage of other DC team members, worldwide video tour footage and segments originally intended for The DC Video, but didn’t make the final cut. “After the premiere and the tour, Danny kept skating and filming out at the Mega Ramp,” Block said. “It quickly became obvious that he was once again doing some incredible stuff, and in some new directions. We’ve pushed the release date back twice because Danny was still skating and getting even more footage. We wanted to let him have more time...and it has been well worth it. I think people are going to be shocked.” As well as a host of other special additional features, viewers will be treated to a brand-new part that follows the further adventures of Rob Dyrdek and Big Black. DC is premiering the DC Video Deluxe Edition DVD at ASR in San Diego on January 17th, 2004. For more information, visit www.dcshoes.com/dcfilms

NEW SACRIFICE SKATEBOARDS STICKERS

ASR PRESS RELEASE - ASR January 17-19th "Back to Business, Back to San Diego" will bring a fresh crew of emerging labels and, of course the finest established brands around. Over the past 2 decades, ASR has become the preeminent show to unveil new labels and styles in the action sports and youth lifestyle market. This year get a first peek of whatís to come from the yearís most highly anticipated brands like Mada, Modern Amusement and Z-Brand and the new lines from Hurley and Alpinestars only at ASR at ASR January 17-19, 2004 at the San Diego Convention Center. "The youth culture audience craves innovation and is always looking for 'what's next.'" ASR has always been the place to catch the very latest, be it a brand or trend," says Kevin Flanagan, ASR Show Director. "Retailers use the show not only to buy for the season from their current brands, but also use this valuable time to pick up new labels and gauge lines for the next year." Talk is already buzzing around Mada, the new label coming from Ezekiel founders and the head designer described as having an 'edgy fashion vibe'. "We see that the marketplace needs new brands. Mada has the feel and look of a new company, but with the experience and maturity of an established brand," says Vince De La Pena, co-founder of Mada. "We picked ASR as Madaís first showing, because southern California is the heart of the action sports industry and we are based here, so it is just natural." While Modern Amusement could previously be found mostly in Japan and Europe, the US market is demanding more of the line. ìWe are attending ASR for the first time in years as part of our effort to reach and expand into the US market,î says Kurt Schroeder, Director of Marketing at Modern Amusement. After years of attending the show as a buyer, Bryan Johnson, Brand and Product Director for a denim driven apparel brand labeled Z-Brand, will be returning as an exhibitor. "ASR is a good show and a great opportunity to ground ourselves with specialty stores you can only find here," he says of Z-Brand's decision to introduce themselves to the action sports market at ASR. Established brands like Alpinestars continue to use ASR to launch new lines and expand popular lines like womenís and juniors. "Alpinestars looks for quality specialty retailers, ASR has them and a nice mix of buyers that match our level, clean and paced growth mentality," says Bill Gage, National Sales Manager for Alpinestars, who is expanding farther into soft goods through a women's line with motor sports influence. Swim continues to grow at ASR with Hurley entering the market for the first time and Girl Star returning to the show with Brazilian cut suits. Check in with Hurley's new line of bikinis and tanks at ASR in the Hurley booth and Girl Star right next to Aaron Chang. 2004 Dates - ASR January 17-19 - San Diego, CA, ASR FALL March 9-10 Huntington Beach, CA, ASR Europe July 11-13 Anglet, France, For more info go to www.asrbiz.com
