Summers coming around here in Los Angeles and everyone’s looking for the next big event to check out. As native Angelino’s we feel it’s our duty to report to the people what’s popping out here in World Champion Laker land(Two times running might I add). Through a friend of a friend of not a friend, but more like an associate, we heard about this thing called the LA Street Food Fest. You can get the full details at their site located here. http://www.lastreetfoodfest.com/.

From what I’ve gathered so far, this is my summery and why I’m excited about this event. Tons of street food venders all gathered in one place competing for the title of King of the Street food.

First and foremost, all of the nineoutof10 staff and I would like to thank everyone that showed up to the 1st annual Seibon Customer Appreciation event. Shout outs to Seibon for letting us showcase our gear and be a part of this ground-breaking event. The event had a great turn out and we see good things in the future and future events. The whole thing had a very humble down-to-earth feel. Participants didn’t have to shell out big bucks to get in. Taking a step back to look at the whole event, there was a good mixture of urban culture ranging from auto motive sports, fashion to alternative sports. It wasn't an easy thing to come out in the blazing heat of 100 plus degree weather but you guys did and we certainly appreciate each and every one of you for that. Mad props to the Retaks bike riders busting crazy tricks under the hot cali sun to keep us all entertained. Aside from all the supporters that showed up, we definitely cannot forget our neighboring vendors--each of whom we were given the opportunity to meet and kick it with. Props to Bowls, Par Lay, and Cooler Master. We heard that the weather was actually supposed to be over 300 degrees, but luckily Cooler Master showed up and drastically brought the weather down. Extra thanks to Cooler Master for actually controlling whether, mad props. Now that you all got a chance to meet us and check out our designs, the next thing on our agenda is to get into a store near you. From here on out we will be doing a lot of footwork to cover ground. If you saw our designs and feel our creative creations, be sure to ask about us at your local store. We promise to visit them shortly.


Special thanks to the people that organized the whole shindig.

This ninja beat our whole crew up and stole a bunch of stuff. We spent the rest of the day looking for him to no avail. As you can see, he was much more technologically advanced in terms of mobility. Damn that ninja!

Retaks booth…. Oh sweet, is that a BMX?!

This is what the business is son. 9/10. Nuff said.

The ladies love it…

love it…

Absolutely love it, and this guy is catching on.



The ladies of 9/10.

One of our staff passed out from a heat stroke, but woke up shortly after we mentioned that we don’t have workers compensation insurance.

We had to show some love for Cooler Master.

Barbie showed up and kicked it for a minute.

Rucks get ladies too.

Business in the front, party in the back, that’s how we roll son.








Peep out our gear.




These people brought the ruckus. (Did I really say that?)


Bumble Bee from Transformers came down to show some love.

He probably came with bumble bee also.

They roll pretty deep.










Cars cars cars…




Nineoutof10 staff working hard…

(minutes later)… hardly working.

Bastard coved bastards filled with bastard filling left me all alone to man the booth to check out girls and cars….

At high noon, shade became extremely rare and valuable commodity, and I was willing to kill to protect mine.

Someone told me we stole this model from Calvin Klein.

Our new friends from Par Lay clothing.

Ever wanted to smoke crack, but didn’t have a lighter, or a crack pipe, or crack even? Drink some NOS energy drink. All jokes aside, these mofo’s kept the whole crowd bouncing off walls. I heard before the show started, EVERYTHING was setup by one guy hopped up on 2 bottles of NOS energy drink.

The Bowls booth.




Every raffle prize winner that day walked away with some 9/10 gear.

Our goal from the start of this project was to reach out and meet the people on a grass root level. And here is a perfect opportunity to do just that with our friends from Seibon. Seibon is one of the leaders today in the automotive aero kit market and they’ve invited us to hang out with them on their first “customer appreciation day”. So if you’re in the area and want to meet all the guys involved and check out some new designs from 9/10, come on down to the Seibon warehouse on 8-29-2009 from 11:00am to 6:00pm.

Yup, we all know the deal, "Get Money, Smoke Trees, Fuck Bitches..." but sometimes we need to take a step back from all that madness and enjoy some of the simpler things in life. The shit that makes you kick your feet up and just chill.

This is the shit that makes you feel like humanity still has a fighting chance.

We just want to spend time to shout out our friends at ARTSHOWLA.COM. They are a group of young entrepreneurs on a mission to keep the underground art scene alive and bumpin. In their own words…

"WE ENCOURAGE...
artist of all mediums to express themselves freely.
WE PROVIDE...
a friendly and noncompetitive environment where people can mingle and enjoy artwork.
WE HOPE...
to bring recognition and inspiration to local artists."

Let me see, what can I say about their events…. The main vibe you get is, “chill”. Maybe some of you out there think about snobby stuck up hipsters when you think “artshow”, but my peeps at the ArtshowLA are anything but that. Everyone there is down to earth and ready to mingle. You can get out there and meet the artist showcasing their master pieces and have a drink with them and discuss all the technical metaphors of their works, or just catch a good buzz and talk about nothing but bull shit. No pressure, my peeps at ArtshowLA are real people down to just kick it. If you think you can groove to that are around LA, then you need to hookup with them. Check them out at their site for updates on future events. www.artshowla.com.

Our favorite local underdogs are at it again with another club banger. Help change the underdog status by voting for them on Power106's top 7@7. Check out FM's new song Girls On The Dance Floor at their site. www.fareastmovement.com



If you like what you hear, and we know you will then head on over to LA's leading Hip Hop radio station and vote for FM on www.Power106.fm. Show some love to the local boys doing it real big for the Hip Hop scene.

Anyone that knows anything about the fashion industry knows about the Magic show. It’s not the type of show with magicians pulling rabbits out of hats. This is the place clothing brands get together to exhibit their new line up to potential buyers from all over the world. This is our first year attending. Even though we didn’t get a booth, it was a great experience to meet everyone else in the industry. Now we know how hard we have to work to catch up with the big boys. Basically for fashion, this is where the magic happens.

For some reason, even as a kid, this road has always captured my attention.


Arrival to our suite.


1700 square feet with pool table...


Notice the see through glass table on the left hand side, strong enough to withstand 100 to 120 pounds maybe...


Separate bed room in case you want to get some rest away from the party...


Where the magic happens...


Where the magic continues on to...


The bar area with another big screen...


Boulevard view...


Straight chillen...


Another restroom...


Woke up...


To this view...


Las Vegas Convention Center.


When you see it, you will shit bricks.


The s.l.a.t.e. section was where it was at.


A lot of big names in the business were here. Crooks and Castles, Obey, LRG, 10 Deep just to name a few.


Magic.


After we were done with the show we had a chance to blow off some steam at a firing range.


50 rounds goes fast on a H&K MP5 in full auto. Zombie Osama never had a chance.


I just had to get a pic on the way home.

First off, Happy New Years! Hope everyone had a safe and fun new years bash. Stay strong with all your resolutions. Sorry for the lack of updates as of recent, but we’re back and ready to show case some new designs! We’re not getting a booth but we are still planning to head out to the magic show this year, so if any of you are going to be there, keep a look out for us. Stay tuned for more updates.

Here are some photos snapped in Toronto Canada while we were out there meeting some new friends. 9/10 is trying to go international for you all, so we hope you appreciate it.

Unionville, it’s like a super “old town”. Established in the late 1700’s, I’d say it’s doing very well for it’s age.



We were in the area so we stopped by to say “what’s up” to a friend. This is Derek on the left and Ivan on the right from www.theuptowndog.com, gourmet grub for your pooch.


Derek was trying to take a picture with this beautiful wall at the Pacific Mall when all of a sudden, these three bozo’s jumped in the picture out of nowhere. Hoodlums, pffft.


Congee is like Chinese people’s chicken noodle soup. It makes you feel better when you’re sick. Seeing how 9/10 is always sick, we had to stop by and eat at this bitch.


Ok, so you and your partners saw Harold and Kumar 2 and have been dying to visit Amsterdam so you guys can hit up some *bleep* café’s and get *bleep* up, then head to the red light district to *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* and get your *bleep* *bleep* *bleep*. Well, I can’t help you with most of the other bleeps mentioned here, but Downtown Toronto does have “special” café’s around. And this is one of them. None of us went in….. but the stuff that goes on in the upstairs patio will have you feeling like Snoop right before he goes on stage for concert… and during, and after. Rookies beware, the shit gets hectic during the 5 minute last call. I’m talking heavy rotation. You can find more info about the Kindred Café at www.kindredcafe.com.

We've been quite busy lately. Making new connections, networking, traveling, working on new designs, and some of us making babies. It’s crazy to think that one of us is going to be a daddy soon. But don't worry folks, new editions to our already huge family is only going to make us grind even harder to bring you fresh new gear. So look out for us, coming to a store near you soon!

First thing all of us at nineoutof10 said when we decided to start this company was that we MUST rep L.A. After all, this is the place that influenced us most, and no matter what, will always be home.


Of course, can't forget the original logo.


Throw back toys of our better days. Memories of our childhood will always bring a smile to my face.


Some lids to keep your head out of the sun when you’re out and about.



This was just something quick to keep you posted. Once we settle down from all the traveling I'll get back to you folks with more new stuff. Stay tuned.
