*Calling all Artists Worldwide to fight Cancer, the Sick Disease that has Attacked One of Our Own*

MAD was rushed to the hospital just after the 2012 new year with severe pain and discovered his spleen had ruptured. During the operation to remove his spleen, Stage 4 cancer was found in a few locations in his body.

MAD had no insurance nor workman’s compensation, and, accordingly, he is in major financial distress. While his medical bills are astronomical, the immediate need os for financial support for his basic costs of living. MAD has two beautiful children to support, his home and family to care for, and with week-to-week inpatient Chemotherapy, can not work a normal job, even IF his weakness and nausea weren’t a factor. SO, he needs HELP.

There are three prongs to our effort to generate support:

ONE – an art auction, where we will need ART donated that can be sold/auctioned with all proceeds going to the charity. The date for this auction is TBD. There will be a Silent Auction held in Philadelphia, and possibly other cities, as we hope to find people willing to help us set that up. There will also be an online portion to the auction, for those who would like to purchase donated art as a donation, but cannot attend the live silent auction. Dates, Times, URLs, and Locations for these events will be updated as they are set.

TWO – we are selling small packs of stickers in a “grab bag” format on this site. There will be printed vinyl stickers, and a mix of some of the best writers in the US and abroad who are donating custom stickers specifically for this cause. Like a public television drive, essentially you will be getting an “incentive gift” for different donation levels. These will be clearly listed as products to purchase on the main page. There is also going to be sketches, a zine, and possibly T-Shirts and some custom “fuck cancer” jewelry for the ladies.

THREE – straight donations. there is a big red DONATE! button on the site here where you can skip the shopping cart and specific amounts and just donate whatever you can afford or manage. This is perfect for smaller donations.

You can help the cause in one (or more) of several ways:

+ Donate ART (email madvscancer@gmail.com for details on shipping art)

+ Donate STICKERS made by you, your crew that can be added to grab bags

+ Donate SKETCHES made by you, your crew that can be added to grab bags

+ Donate $$$ directly using the donate button on the website

+ Donate SERVICES (currently looking for anyone with a tshirt hookup than can donate the cost of printing up tshirts – if you have a screenprinting connection that might be interested, please hit us up!!)

+ SPREAD THE WORD!! This may be the biggest help aside from money, please repost the link to this site on your blogs, your tumblrs, your flickrs, tweet it, text it, email it, hell, post it on your Friendster page if you still roll like that. PLEASE TRY TO MOTIVATE YOUR PEOPLE AND YOUR PEOPLE’S PEOPLE – ITS A GOOD LOOK

THANKS FROM THE MAD vs CANCER TEAM, and from MAD himself

#FUCKCANCER

The sizzle reel highlights several of the spreads from the January 2012 issue.

While most of these photographs were staged, it does not make them less cool. Bravo to the photographers that had the patience to shoot these scenes over and over to capture the perfect high speed photograph. The photograph to the left was our favorite, fittingly entitled Breaking the Rules, but don’t miss these 30 awesome high speed photography samples.

At the Oakley & Shaun White Air & Style, a 6Star TTR Big Air event in Beijing this weekend, Norwegian riders stole the show with Ulrik Badertscher landing on top with his first 6Star win, in front of Torstein Horgmo and Stale Sandbech. Just missing the podium was Swedish rider Nills Arvidsson, landing himself in fourth place.

Badertscher beat out fellow Norwegian rider Gjermund Braaten in the semifinals, and also beat out event favorite Sebastian Toutant in head-to-head matchups. He picked up Red Bull Best Trick honors on his third semifinal run with a score of 97.00 for what was first called a double “winger” flip 1260, but appeared to be a double backside rodeo 1260, that he was rumored to have last season, but never pulled off. There is now debate however, whether it is a true backside double rodeo 12 or an off-axis double 1260. At any rate, the trick has never been seen before, and Baderstcher has it down, as he landed it again in the Super Final for a score of 91.67.
