Skatopia The Movie
Skatopia tips the scale on whether you can deal with pain, you better be able to walk away even if your wrist is folded down and broken and not cry about it. You can’t be a pussy at skatopia… those guys basically grab another beer and sit up on the deck and wait for the pain to go away. – Tony Hawk
Skatopia (RSS) seems to be in direct conflict with BoardTesting
We are in agreement with Skatopia – Fuck Pads!

Viceland on Extreme Marketing
Viceland has timelined the Extreme Marketing Phenomenon for recognizable cartoon characters used to market products.
The city of Philidelphia banned skateboarding from Love Park. This year there is going to be a Nightmares X-Treme Scream Park during the month of October (we’re guessing for halloween)… But the funny part is that the director/producer is trying to capitalize on the Love Park thing. They even went as far as contacting the Skateboard Advocacy Network and asking them to “hook them up with some skaters”. So yeah we get used and it takes some time to notice it.

Globe International’s chief executive will hand over the reigns to a former managing director of Nike Australia. “Mr Sutton’s appointment was welcomed by followers of the stock.” This can only be bad news for those that actually skate.

DC Goes Enron
DC Shoes (scroll to middle of page) is apparently a little bit fucked with the IRS. The feds cite a long list of alleged sins, including omitted proceeds from asset sales, undocumented entertainment expenses and dividends deducted as expenses. Transworld Skateboarding reported a while ago that: “DC Shoe Co. made donations to four nonprofit organizations that focus on any combination of human rights, poverty alleviation, and responsible business practices for manufacturing overseas. One of the major organizations was The Milarepa Fund, a nonprofit organization founded by Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys and Erin Potts.” – Let’s hope everything comes out ok. DC Shoes Website

Go Break Yourself
Skateboard injuries are on the rise. We are guessing that about this time next year there will probably be an article or two about skateboard injuries declining as a result of strictly enforced helmet laws in States like California. Don’t be fooled friends. You’ll remember that there are more people riding skateboards and conclude that injuries are on the rise because of that fact.

Pierre Luc – World’s Top Skateboarder?
Jim Morris (A Canadien Press sports writer) recently pronounced Pierre Luc Gagnon the “World’s Top Skateboarder”. This kanuck writer also goes on to say “… if you’re over 30 years old, you’ve probably never heard of him.” Okay Jim, You get the biggest dumbass Canadien award for the day. Stick to writing about hockey.

Helmets and Dumb Shit
Helmets seem to be the talk of the town this month. All kinds of information on helmets. Mumford’s quote is how I feel too.
