Flippy things? Round and square skateboarding? Skatopia and the Natas cow ollie paved the way. See if you can find a photo of Natas ollieing that cow in Dayton.

Tonik - Pussy Insurance
You are being targeted as an insurance risk. Health insurance is great when you are launching yourself down stairs all day. If you fall! We look at health insurance like wearing a helmet. You set yourself for being able to handle your own failure. Health insurance marketing is even worse. Tonik Health doesn’t do anything more than a normal health insurance company does except raise your deductible. Break a leg and your wallet.

Muska and Hilton Lurking
We actually know why you have to go to US Weekly to grab photos of Muska lurking. We aren’t even sure we can blame or diss the guy for getting up in that group of girls. We just had to laugh at some of the photos being sold as stock photography. Muska can sell anything. The NEW Slap forum brought this to our attention.

Technology is Tricknology
The guys holding the Big Contest in Florida snapped a photo of some technology that they were looking at when they were wandering drunk around ASR. We don’t know what the thing is either but we were having more fun looking at Sheffey in Flip-Flops whilst Schaefer is wearing shoes. Guess it all goes back to Cab saying… “Are we skating right now? No… If we were skating I’d have my skate shoes on!” Since the technology is crap… Carry-on Sheff!

Handrails in L.A.
“Boarders everywhere have adopted it — the common pedestrian handrail alongside stairs — as a measuring stick of gnarliness. The steeper, longer and higher the rail is, the greater the odds it will make them an alternative sports hero.”
Read the entire article and think about it the next time you are at the top of the stairs… Then do the handrail.
If you land and roll away…

411 Video Magazine Changes?
This article was printed in November, 2004 but we thought it needed brought to the attention of all the aspiring couch potatoes. “Thomas Paulin, CEO of Puzzle, believes the skateboard video industry is feeling the pain of online file sharing. Paulin posits, “Kids have begun to invest in this free {online} consumption, so they see skateboarding videos differently compared to the past. Everybody wants to see videos, but nobody is ready to pay for them.”
Kids… go down to your local shop and buy the videos if you really need to sit on your ass and watch them. A tiny bit of praise might be considered for Josh at 411 for making a different product with more shit in it and only available in real skateboard shops. What sux is… The price of videos from other companies will have to compete at those same shops. Actually… forget it all and be the media whore that lurks or be the skateboarder that doesn’t care if he gets anything on film.
