Friday The Fanmailereenth
From: Flowboard
“Could you please change the name of our product on your Useless Toys list? Don’t get us wrong, we appreciate the free web traffic you provide for us each day, but we think we’d get better hits if you had it listed as “DCS trucks” and had a link to: flowboard.com. Thanks for the consideration. Flowboard (flowflap). Peace out.”
Hahahahahahaha.

Airwalk and Genetics Trouble
“The firm, Tare7, cut 41 jobs, including 32 in Golden, on Friday. It’s a sharp contrast with six years ago, when the firm’s Airwalk and Andy Mac shoes were hot items among hard-core skateboarders. But the brands have since lost their appeal, said R.J. Jones, an analyst who follows the footwear industry for Delafield Hambrecht in Seattle.” Maybe they should bring back the lace-savers and old logos? That Venice Marketing firm for Pony ought to take notes.

The Ragin’ Asian Returns!
Our OG sux head sent us the best link to talk about in a while. “The project, though not a musical, will have a heavy musical component in the style of the studio’s previous hits “Flashdance,” “Footloose” and “Save the Last Dance.” Let’s see dat ass! …Title image by Rob Dobi

Stick With the Porn
Pony recently used Jenna Jameson for some advertising and got into a big wonderful publicity mess. Now they decide to drop the porn star idea, grab a Venice advertising firm, and start making skateboard shoes? Put your balls back on Pony! You’re destined to fail in the skate-shoe business but you can take over the un-touched porn-shoe business. Research and development on wet pussy sounds much better than testing shoes on some of the dirty ass skateboarders that chase after that wet pussy. Don’t you think?

Don Bostick -vs- Frank Gerwer 2003
Ragdoll aquires a serious limo destruction bill. The limo driver was shouting something about $7000. Frank “Thank God Someone is Fucking Punk” Gerwer told Mr. B. why it’s cool to be a skateboarder and not an indu$try or association head. Free drinks all night. A Tom Penny sighting. The boys are all still nursing hangovers. What Sux you ask? You weren’t there… and not a single website has any info as to who won what yet. The TWS awards are over.

Philly Mayor Still Sucks
The Love Park fight will not die. Skatenerd Operatives sent us some mail that we just thought you guys would have all kinds of opinions on. “It seems to me we have a disenfranchised and marginalized younger generation, and that this is an issue they can rally behind,” he said. “They really feel they were a very public presence in a very public space, that they’ve been evicted, and that this is worth fighting for.” You’re damn right. Brian Nugent suggested we exercise our right to vote too. Thanks Brian.

Piss and Shit
Brian Kiser thanks us for “wading through the piss and shit for skateboarders everywhere.” We would like to thank Brian for getting us out of a slump of no news. Add the SkateDeck Ottoman to our list of useless wooden toys. “Long day at the skate park? Put your feet up and relax. Another Chillystuff exclusive, you won’t find this handcrafted ottoman ANYWHERE else. But wait! There’s more.”

Jim Rome Sucks
So Jen O’Brien made the cover of High Times and Bob even backed up his girl on her views about marijuana. Then some dick sports columnist comes along and has to cough up a lung about how “…skateboarders should be more concerned with getting a job and moving out of mom’s house than trying to ‘relax’ more.” “…If you need to get the ‘pressure’ off of having to land your next rail slide, you’ve got problems.” Dear Mr. Rome, When you are done, Pass the dutchy on the left hand side. You’re fucking up the rotation.
