Pussy Graphics
There has got to be a reason why the Skateboard Indu$try hasn’t put full color pornography on the bottom of decks. Come to think of it… Why in the fuck hasn’t the Motocross Indu$try done it either? Please… Tell me why everyone is so fokken scared to do it.
Pussy Graphics.
Think about it… Blurred out on the X-Gaymes closeups.
Discuss.

The Lake Forest Zoo
How nice of the etnies skatepark of Lake Forest, CA to let us know what’s up. If mandatory full pads and beautiful steel bars caging you in weren’t enough, they just announced more fun stuff coming in 2007. Time to have a nice birthday party:

All Packages are for up to 10 participants. Each additional child will cost $20 up to a maximum of 20 participants. Each party will last for 2 hours.

Let’s see… Cute birthday parties, wednesday BMX nights, band nights with mandatory donations, 2007 waivers, photography policies, skate camps, snowboarding trips and unsolicited e-mail newsletters… Awesome. And on top of that, the good folks over at etnies have absolutely no control over the matter.

Biggest Cock in the Industry
Who has the biggest cock in the indu$try? Is it a magazine publisher? Is it a magazine writer? Is it a Future Magazine editor? Is it a Skateboard distributor ? (pdf) Is it a Skateboard company? It isn’t a handboarder. Is it a Skateboarder?
Biggest Cock or the biggest dick?
Wassup Suckers?

Skateboard or Sell Skateboard Shit
On a tour with Ron Allen a long time ago… Ron had writing on his griptape. He was riding for H-Street at the time and he was traveling around the country skating demos and shit in some of the smallest towns in the USA.
“You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge”
That’s what Ron wrote on his griptape in 1989. We discussed the shoes that Nike was putting on the market for Skateboarding back then… In a tiny ass town in Ohio… In between taking turns trying a 9 stair handrail.
One of the kids watching us had a pair of those pink Nike Skateboard shoes on and he commented on how we might want to try tightening the laces on our shoes… We both looked at the kid and didn’t say anything.
We both landed the next try and skated away from the rail and didn’t stop or even look back at that kid with those shoes on. That kid didn’t follow us and all the other kids that were watching instead of Skateboarding didn’t follow us either.
They witnessed.
Fast Forward to now…
There is a sort of verbal agreement in the Skateboard Indu$try regarding retail accounts and a no-compete within a 10 mile radius. Zumiez is about to open within the 10 mile radius of a lot of Skateshops this year and we mean A LOT. Check out their site and look at the list of brands that zumiez carries and you will see that almost every company that supposedly lives by the 10 mile rule is available at Zumiez. Except one company. Yep… Nike SB is standing by the 10 mile rule. Consolidated isn’t up there yet.
How smart is that? Trick all the Skateshop owners into thinking that Nike SB is on their side when they feel like everyone else completely left them for the almighty dollar.
Final thought: This just isn’t right at all

Adbusters and Nike Skateboarding
As Moish Brennan, art director for Consolidated Skateboards, put it…
Nike is a huge multimillion dollar corporation that never gave a shit about skateboarding. The jocks who used to beat me up for skating wore Nikes and now Nike wants to be in with skaters? Uh-uh. It’s not going to happen. We’ve had to fight and scrimp and save, and it wasn’t so giant corporations could come along and buy their way in.

Edumacate The Chillern
Brink went soft and started pickin’ daisies in the outfield. We’re just trying to get Rob back to asshole status. Skateboarders built the park. Give the snakeboarder a real Skateboard… Swear at him a little bit and push him in the right direction.
Or…
Fill the skateparks with water and use a SubSkate or let the kooks teach kids how to Skateboard.

Tennis KasperHolics Anyone?
Josh Kasper isn’t throwing himself down stairs as much anymore. He’d rather swing at balls for the Comets. Second chances are popping up for Skateboarders everywhere.
Josh is very talented young man,” Mancao said. “His strongest asset is his mental ability, which is a carryover from his days as a professional skater.
Apparantly Josh played the crucial role as team leader this year.
