Artos Twitter Tour

This past weekend Arto Saari and the rest of the Gravis skate team went on a little drive stopping at skate shops all over southern california to promote the launch of Arto's newest shoe, the ARTO LX. Using the high tech communication service of Twitter.com we set out "tweeting" our where abouts and which shops we were hitting up next. At each stop we surprised the shop employees and customers alike with our star studded entourage of Dylan Rieder, Sammy Winter, Steve Forstner and of course Arto Saari. The shop kids were tripping out when they watched Arto and the boys walk in through those doors, and start handing out his newest shoe for free like it was candy. Well it wasnt candy but it sure was sweet to see the look on the kiddies'  faces as they met the Gravis team and got autographs and fresh kicks. So after a weekend full of twits and tweeds we are now getting ready to hit the road again...this time across the U.S. of A. so be sure to follow the Gravis Footwear Twitter page to find out where you can score some new Arto shoes... again...until then...ummm, you get the idea.
