Also, keep your eyes pealed for the Official State of STANCE drive... (more...)

Events | Formula D – Las Vegas :: In The Pits Words and Photos by: Frank Leon Although I had a media pass and had access to any location that I could wander into, the great thing about this event is that you didn’t need a special pass to get into the pit area. The layout was awesome, it was a mish mash of Driver trailers, sponsors booths, and vendors. Lots of interactive events to take part in, you can actually walk up to the cars and meet the drivers. It was a great time and you didn’t... (more...)

Words & Photos: Frank Leon – FAL Photo I had the great pleasure of flying out to Las Vegas this past weekend to cover the Formula D event they were holding at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. I met a lot of great people, bumped into some familiars from Florida (randomly), and had a BLAST! This was by far the best drift event I’ve ever covered or attended. For this first segment we are going to take it easy (tease you) with a few shots from the Car show they held in front. Stay tuned... (more...)

Photos by: FAL Photography Words by: Leo Gets I few weeks before SOSv1.0 I received a phone call from NOPI owner, Mark Meyers. He was inquiring about State of Stance and our reach within the community. We talked about the HIN/Nopi Tour and their stop here in Miami. From that conversation it was decided that SOS would attend the Miami event to help bring more events and exposure to South Fl. After our success at Remix/Hellaflush Miami, Mark was kind enough to offer us an addition 10×10 space... (more...)

Photos & Words by: David ristau If your looking for freshly baked shirts “Johnny Cupcakes” is the place to go. Johnny is a guy who is not in it for the money, in fact he started his bussines out of the trunk of his 89′ Toyota Camry. He baked his brand specifically for his customers, not for the millions of dollars he could have made by selling out to big stores. His story and clothing style is unique and once a piece sells out it’s gone for good. I’ve never... (more...)

When I saw my good friend Chris aka Squeek at Remix/Hellaflush he showed me only one picture that he took and I knew his shots had to be on the site. Squeek had a shoot after the show (that you might see on SoS soon) so to hurry the process of finishing both sets we teamed up to edit them. His shoot is more delicate and requires more time in photoshop since it involved a rig, so I took over the event pictures. Squeek has a unique composition so I edited the pictures to fit this. Some I felt had a... (more...)
