Who’s Judging Who and Why?
We are not on the list of people this went to but we do ride skateboards. That’s the thing… WE ride them. And the World Cup of Skateboarding exists because of the Skateboarders. Now how on Earth are we supposed to feel about the questions being asked in this letter? It is simply amazing.

Hello everyone,
In an attempt to improve the judging of vert contest, I would like to request that each of you, (if you can and are willing) send me a list of vert tricks in order of difficulty all based on your opinion.
I know that the list will be long, but if you could take some time to give input on this I believe that the end results will help to benefit the understanding that the judges will have. I hope to organize the list based on everyone’s input and then show everyone the result. Once we come up with a list that is agreed upon, we can incorporate an official degree of difficulty list.
If you would like to comment on the height of airs or amplitude, please do as they relate to difficulty. Any other feed back is also welcome.
I look forward to your list or suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Don Bostick

Nike Dunk Low SB Pigeon Poop
Skate Daily posted some shit about a riot breaking out after a bunch of shoe whores froze their balls off waiting in line to buy some $300 ebay junk sneakers. So nowadays kids are going to get shot for their shoes and then getting snaked for their starter jacket after they are on the ground. Function… Never Fashion. Fight the good fight.

Can Paris Hilton Ollie?
Looks like Muska COULD have played cell phone picture games with Paris. Straight up… We want to see Paris on a skateboard. Make it happen Chad.

Blizice Extreme Blades
“Transform your skateboard! Replace your roller skate with Blizice and you’ve got your new… Winter Skateboard!”
Isn’t it cool to see kids up in the frozen-ass tundra ripping hockey goals down on ice skating rinks and flipping them over to grind on with their new high-tech weapons of bum destruction? We can’t wait to see the headlines in some Canadian newspaper when the first gnar-dog cuts some dude’s fingers off with these things. Warning! Skateboarders in cold weather carry Blizice yo.

Hang N Time
“It has a radical style and when you hang it no one else can bang it. Ideal for your tournament board, it’s out of the way and up for display.”
The best sucker we ever had came out of hiding and sent us this worthless piece of junk. We guess being able to paint it yourself makes it rad? This is a perfect attempt at stealing some of the billions of dollars being pumped into the Skateboard indu$try. Keep your Skateboards off the wall and put them back in the streets kids.

Bucky’s Burritos
Crailtap alerted us to one hell of a fun topic. Bucky slapped his name on a burrito chain called Bucky’s Burritos. Since there is an all organic burrito on the menu we won’t hate on him for venturing into new business. He deserves to use his name for himself. If we could make a suggestion… Maybe put a “skateboarding road-trip combo” on there. You know, something that costs $.50 and feeds the whole crew. Even the dude in the back of the van. That would be dope.

Mr. Cool of skateboarding?
“To be a professional skateboarder you need to get sponsored.” Or you can snake Koston and Own it. We can’t dis Paul at all because of Josh Stewart’s footage and the apparent cult following on skateboardmusic.com for his music choice… But “That’s When Ya Lost.” We see it like this… If you’re exploited on the BBC sports section as Mr. cool of Skateboarding then something went professionaly wrong. Paul Shier would probably drop in on your ass drunk while there was still a foot of water in the deepend, but this is where sux thrives. Stop allowing yourself to be cheesed on major media-whore websites. We really only posted this to alert you to Billie Piper. Oh wait… what is this shit?
Sux would like to take a moment to jock Josh Stewart again… Thank You.
