Australia and New Zealand

Thank you to everyone that has been participating in the release of the film, it has been an interesting ride.
A disappointing thing we recently found out in regards to selling the film on the Bones Brigade site was that we are unable to sell it to our friends in Australia.
A little history. Early on, after the Sundance Film Festival, we secured a distribution deal with a company in Australia to distribute the film in Australia and New Zealand. This gave them sole rights to distribute the film there.
We tried to figure out a way to continue to offer the film from our website, but we just couldn't work it out. The film distributor has provided these links for our Australian and New Zealand friends to pre-order.

Unfortunately, items on the Bones Brigade site that were bundled with the film also couldn't be purchased. Items like the signed Skull & Sword deck bundle, the signed Ripper deck bundle, the T-shirt/Trucker hat bundle, anything that had the film bundled in it.
We do have plans to offer a few completes signed by the team, and those won't be bundled with the film to give everyone a chance at them. If we are able to get more decks signed by everyone, we will make sure they are not bundled with the film.
Nevertheless, it has been exciting and interesting going on this adventure with you. Thank you for all your enthusiasm and support. The film releases next month. Kilian Martin Insight

Vault FUN part 2
October 26, 2012
"Do you know the way to San Jose?" Called Steve and headed up to San Jose to get him to autograph a few decks. He was going to be opening an Art Show, play some music with Agent Orange at the skatepark, then head back to the Art Show to help with the closing. Met up with him at 10:30pm for some late evening pen work.

The next day caught up with Tommy in the Bay area. The bridge connecting SF to Oakland is an engineering marvel. I wonder how many skateboard decks it would take laid nose to tail to go across the Bay Bridge?

Five guys down and Rodney to go. (Plus George and Stacy).
Rodney's dogs greeted me as I pulled up to his house. So far, Rodney has been unable to find anything to add to the Vault, but Stacy told me that Rodney said he had a couple of things that I could pick up.
Rodney almost done.
Something to pick up. Rodney's 1989 trophy from Japan! His neighbor had it. Amazing.
Also asked the guys to sign three Ray Rodriguez Skull & Sword completes for the Vault.
For the Vault
Watch for these 50 autographed Ripper decks being offered on the Bones Brigade site, and the 3 autographed Ray Rodriguez Skull & Sword completes along with Rodney's trophy from Japan being offered in the Vault very soon.
