Skateboarding is Not a Game
“PLAY CRASH COURSE!
Ready to ride the ramp, catch major air and crash for big points? Catch a tow from the ATV, avoid the obstacles and do super trick moves, then CRASH your way onto the high scorer’s list - all in 3D!”
Thanks goes out to all the corporations capitalizing on the image we barely admit to being proud of after 40+ years of skateboarding. Cuz our image is going to be tapped out after this ‘karate-kid’ crap hits the screen. Thanks to Slap and an anonymous friend for asking us to keep tabs on the progress of the movie. You can bet we will be ready with a review after the premier.

Get Rich Or Die
“This e-book will reveal to you the most simple, practical and straight forward way of how to start a business within the skateboarding industry. Only a few dare to do what they like and make money from it. This e-book will show you how to make it!!” We still can’t believe that marco pointed this out to us. Genius or absolute stupidity?

It’s Got To Be The Shoes
DVS Shoes is making some business decisions and going in directions that you probably didn’t expect. Such is the case of most footwear manufacturers. Is this a bad idea? Skate + Surf + Snow + Moto + Wake + Race = Extreme. Round 3. Fight!

Boo Mo Bile Pro Crap
We waited quite a while to unleash our feelings on the Boost Mobile Pro contest that went down in Vegas. We wanted the best photos and the best account of what happened. Jason Jessee managed to prove we were right when we called it out the first time. He sent us some mail…
“As you can see the guy obsessed with my buns is the guy that fired me, and it’s a good thing he did because I always wanted to yell Fuck and Dogshit live on tv. …All I know is, it’s not as bad as it seems, its way worse. Glamour and Fantasia. Be like your ancestors or be different. It doesn’t matter. Everbody that skateboards wins, and if cash is involved, get it but share it, or pay bills and eat food… and if your in Jake’s spot, take it and get your boys paid. Jake and Mic-e don’t fuck around. They know how to function in skateboarding. and like it or not… people have shit in the bed.”
Behold.. I am Jesus Christ. and I will not be coming back, for a second coming. Due to national security. and the patriot act. Please listen to my words. My favorite ice cream is bananafana. If this is a problem, you can go and, fuck yourself dog fashun. Or allow shat, to rest upon your chest as I smite you down. Alert! George Bush, will be your father, All birth will be C-section, you will have only, diea reea . I love you very much see you at the beach.
“Put it this way… the letter from Baby Jesus makes more sense than skateboard contests.
Dave sypnewski kicks balls!”
“I love you and I once loved skateboarding… Now it owns me and it owes me nothing.”

Bowling For Dollars Makes No Cents
Skatenerd pointed out a great link to discuss. “The Brody family, which owns the Playdrome in Cherry Hill and Voorhees, N.J., is investing $1.1 million to open Title 10 Skatepark on Delaware Avenue in Philadelphia. It hopes to attract the very skateboarders the city outlawed from Love Park under a law commonly known as “Title 10,” which saw greater enforcement last year.” Our advice would be to stick to running the bowling alley and serving liquor. If VANS can’t run a daycare center… You probably shouldn’t try to profit from one. You are going to lose money so just go ahead and donate it to Franklin’s Paine where it will get used ‘properly’? We don’t like to bowl but we sure do like to go bowling. The streets are where we belong. Keep that liquor license up and running!

The-Fingerboarder
We normally rip people new assholes when we find dumb shit that pertains to skateboarding. Today our friends at at Kaliber 10,000 tipped us off to Carlos Baena’s website. Carlos is exactly what skateboarding needs right now. Absolute stupidity on film. With Neil Blender back on the cover of Transworld and stuff like the-fingerboarder on the net… We might just all be able to have a good fucking time again. Keep Simon Woodstock out and bring Jeff Grosso back.

Addicted to or Sponsored by Pain Killers?
Sex Drugs and rock-n-roll baby! Arkitip and Skatenerd tipped us off to the Ouch Website made apparantly by Tylenol. Being sponsored by a drug company is one of the weirdest things we’ve heard of in a while. Maybe our famous S.O.T.Y. could have chosen a drug organization that’s a little more fun?

Corporate Shit To Discuss
We are really bummed at TSA/November. We have the most trouble understanding why someone would BUY it. TSA and November are now run by Jim Waataja and Anthony Mandich. Just to let you know who’s running shit at and claiming November as their “child”. Jim Says “This is a remarkable opportunity for the TSA brand. We are very excited about the enormous opportunity to take TSA, basically my child, to the next level through the right kind of exposure and marketing. “I am looking for TSA to have a huge impact in this industry and in the fashion industry as a whole.” This is the same dude that brought us Razor Scooters, L.A. Gear and Avia Shoes. Where’s Angel? In other news… Major plays in the shoe world are taking place. Chuck Taylor’s aren’t even safe from the corporate takeovers that happen nowadays. We will keep an eye out for the re-release of the Chuck Dunks.
