Hit the Brakes
“The truck casing is designed to withstand the extreme punishment that normal skate trucks endure. ” These nifty gadgets will enable you to do endos and shit. Try stopping in the middle of grinding a rail and then running and grabbing a beer. Hopefully when you get back, you won’t have a parking ticket. Next week we install alarms and automatic locks.

Florida Skaters Can’t Be Lured.
Something we knew already, but still interesting to read how oldskool press renders this news. Unfortunately, there are still rumors floating around that they are just warming up. Be careful out there kiddies. Don’t do it!

Newspapers had a fucking field day with a video taped beating in Florida. The victim’s skateboard was stolen after someone kicked his ass. Video dudes take note. Atiba wannabe was arrested too.

Can You Feel It?
Mr. Schoenfeld… Your pussy is showing! “As skateboarding market continues to lag, footwear maker looks to create new niches.” South America is a rough market isn’t it? Cheers to Argentina and Brazil for making their own “Indu$try”. Schoenfeld attributes Vans problems to being underinventoried. Looks like there’s a few job openings.

Hold Out for Lincoln Logs?
We were thinking the X-Gaymes guys took a lesson or two from lego when they discussed venues and logo placement. How do you keep your lego guy attached to the board like that?

Orange County
This article is a little out-dated but it’s still fun to read. The article makes a good point. Templeton once said “Always keep the board directly under your feet.” Kids, Try landing ON the skateboard. It feels much better.

Instructors Named Escobar
A New Jersey indoor skatepark is teaching kids to drop in. Stories about girls getting the wind knocked out of them are fun to read. We like exposing newspaper columnists’ blunders with tricknames. Why do they always have to use the pop-shuv-it ?

Stuff These
Your kids have to have them but you could stay far away from this company so they won’t be around next year. It pains us to see the word “Fingergirl” trademarked. Don’t play with dolls and finger girls after skating.

We Were So Worried!
Oh No! Our favorite store was loosing sales! Analysts say they were flooding the market with too much crap. They also introduced crap for non core people. Why the hell would they want to do that? Thank god they did some cleaning up, and they are back on track. And we can keep buying our core crap!
