New suits in Oz and heaps of shit on the site

September 28, 2007 at 8:14 pm | Spongercity General, Moving Pictures News

Hey hey hey! Sorry for lagging, we’re currently developping some new stuff and got too busy developping instead of delivering fresh news here. We just heard that AGENT 18 was hitting the stores very very soon in Oz with a shitload of nice suits for Aussies out there. Check their new catalog here and start frothing! Control-click or Right-Click the link and save the pdf on your computer. I gotta get myself one of those zebra ones. Yewww.

Other than that we eventually got our hands on the latest INSERT NAME HERE teaser and made it available for download here on the Media page as well as the Movement Mag 19 teaser. Yeah, i know you’ve seen them on You”crappy”tube but the quality was bad and you couldn’t download them right ? So for those who asked us, yep go to the Media page and control-click / right-click on any video link you want to get the teaser – save target as…

For those who subscribe to the Spongercity Podcast the INSERT NAME HERE teaser will be available tomorrow. Anyway the downloadable version on the media page is iPod compatible so knock yourselves out and upload it manually on your iPod if you cant wait anymore.
The DECADE video review is coming super soon. For now all i gotta say is that the video was good, with good hardy stuff, dre & ross, hawaii, massive chopes, cool music, good editing… and awesome skipper stuff. Oh yeah, i gotta say it twice, skipper section rocks.

Video On Demand anyone ?

September 20, 2007 at 9:31 pm | Spongercity Moving Pictures News

If you’re in Europe you can now watch some of your favorite bodyboard DVDs (or any other sports by the way) for less than 3 euros on X-tremevideo.com. There’s only a few titles available at the moment because it just started but heaps of DVDs should be available with this VOD thing. We think that you can only pay in Euro currency but other than that the VOD system works anywhere in the world and on any computer & browser. Choose “bodyboard” on the VOD channel page and enjoy. ABC by Mickey Smith is available for 3 euros.

Send the brats away

September 17, 2007 at 11:32 am | Spongercity General News

Movement Mag is having a Grom Trip coming (in issue 21) and you’re now able to vote for the groms who you think should go on a trip. Ten snotty-nosed kids from Australia plead their case for magazine fame via Youtube clips made by grom producer Cam Danzey. Go there now and rate high (five stars) for the five you want to see on the Grom Trip in Movement mag 21. There’s two weeks to rate the pesky little brats and it’s game over for the lowest five.
